Abstract:
Methods and circuitry for implementing high speed first-in first-out (FIFO) structures. In one embodiment, a FIFO is disclosed that allows the frequency of one clock, e.g., the write clock, to be different than (e.g., half) that of the other (read) clock. In another embodiment a FIFO is presented that can be set and/or reset asynchronously. Other embodiments are disclosed wherein the read and write pointers are effectively monitored to ensure proper timing relationship, to detect loss of clock as well as to detect other abnormal FIFO conditions.
Abstract:
A power management technique for a network including a plurality of computing devices. The power management technique includes identifying an order in which one or more devices of the plurality of computing devices can transmit data within the prescribed time period. In one aspect, the number of wakeups are reduced for the computing devices within the network by increasing a number of adjacent channel time allocation periods within a prescribed time period that share a common computing device. In one aspect, the network can be based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), .
Abstract:
Methods for transferring among key holders in encoding and cryptographic systems the right to decode and decrypt messages in a way that does not explicitly reveal decoding and decrypting keys used and the original messages. Such methods are more secure and more efficient than typical re-encoding and re-encryption schemes, and are useful in developing such applications as document distribution and long-term file protection.
Abstract:
2-lithio-5-halopyridine is formed as a predominant component of a reaction mixture by reacting BuLi with 2,5-dihalopyridine in a non-coordinating solvent.
Abstract:
Described herein are compounds of the general formula: ##STR1## a stereoisomer, solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:R.sub.1 is H, halo, aryl or aryl substituted with one or two groups independently selected from halo, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 -alkoxy, nitro, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy or cyano;R.sub.2 is C.sub.4-9 alkyl; phenyl or phenyl substituted with one or two groups selected independently from OH, cyano, halo, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, nitro or phenyl; naphthyl;phenyl fused to a 5 or 6-membered heterocycle; the coumarin moiety ##STR2## wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are selected independently from H, C.sub.1-4 alkyl and C.sub.1-4 alkoxy;or 1,2-methylenedioxy phenyl;with the proviso that R.sub.2 is not phenyl or 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl when R.sub.1 is H.Also described is their use as pharmaceuticals to treat indications in which the D4 receptor is implicated, such as schizophrenia and anxiety.
Abstract:
A lamp head for a Christmas light including: a lamp head shell, defining a mounting hole for an external wire to pass through; a light-emitting inner-core assembly, including a light-transmitting lampshade, a patch lamp board, and a fixing seat; wherein an end of the light-transmitting lampshade is connected to the fixing seat, and the patch lamp board is arranged inside the light-transmitting lampshade; the light-transmitting lampshade is filled with a potting adhesive; the patch lamp board is arranged with two leads, and the two leads pass through the potting adhesive and are threaded out from the fixing seat; the fixing seat is inserted and connected in the mounting hole, and the two leads are electrically connected to the external wire.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system for developing sense of rhythm. The system includes an interactive surface embedded with an RF antenna, a host, a memory unit, and a media player, an array of contact points on the interactive surface, a display device configured to export the comparison of the tempo and the beat input by a player with the preset tempo and the preset beat, and multiple physical sheets. The function of each contact point is determined or changed by the host in accordance with preset programs. Each physical sheet is embedded with an RFID tag and marked with a musical instrument and corresponding functional components, and the location of the functional components corresponds to the contact points in accordance with the preset programs. Once a physical sheet is placed on the interactive surface, the host is configured to assign a timbre of a musical instrument and the corresponding playing rules to the array of contact points in accordance with the preset programs and the RFID tag embedded in the physical sheet. The visible feedback would help players make corrections more efficiently.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system for pitch correction. The interactive surface is embedded with a host, an antenna, a memory unit, a voice input device, an audio recognition device, and a media player. The function of each light-emitting contact point is determined or changed by the host in accordance with preset programs. Each physical sheet is embedded with an RFID tag and is printed with a set of pitch marks with increasing difficulty levels, and the location of a functioning area on a physical sheet for the light-emitting contact points is determined in accordance with the preset programs, and the light-emitting contact points correspond to the location of the functioning area. Once a physical sheet is placed on the interactive surface, the host assigns preset flashing rules to the array of light-emitting contact points in accordance with the preset programs as well as the RFID tag embedded in the physical sheet, and generates a preset flashing pattern on the physical sheet, and activates touch functions of the corresponding light-emitting contact points. The visible feedback provides users a straightforward understanding how much their voices deviate from the reference pitches.
