Abstract:
A transmitter has a signal generator, an amplifier, a detection circuit, a comparison circuit, a loop filter, and an adjustable clock. The signal generator produces a signal. The signal is produced with a first frequency characteristic and contains frequency-related information. The detection circuit detects the first frequency-related characteristic and generates an associated signal in response. A comparison circuit compares the signal from the detection circuit and another signal. It outputs a signal associated with the difference between the two. A loop filter receives the output of the comparison circuit and generates a signal to the signal generator in. The loop filter is clocked at a second frequency by a signal from a clock circuit. The clock circuit can compare the first frequency and the second frequency, and can change the second frequency based upon a relationship between the two frequencies.
Abstract:
The invention provides rinse-off wet skin compositions comprising structuring systems which in turn comprise (a) non-pre-gelatinized starch; and (b) fatty acid, and which systems provide enhanced properties. The fatty acid also needs to be added to the aqueous phase during preparation of the formulation.
Abstract:
The invention provides high molecular weight polymers used in small amounts as viscosity modifiers for aqueous/aqueous biphasic liquids. The viscosity of the biphasic is enhanced at least 20%, preferably at least 30% relative to same compositions without use of polymer. Further, the polymer is included without destroying the ability of dual phase compositions to form after product is left standing.
Abstract:
A method and system for preventing an operator of a vehicle from using a handheld wireless communication device without a hands-free communication device associated therewith when the vehicle is in motion.
Abstract:
A system and method for monitoring the operational condition of a motor vehicle using a silhouette and pupil defining device combined with a capability to analyze and track any changes of the operator's silhouette and of the size, shape and location of the operator's pupils within a defined zone in the motor vehicle.

Abstract:
An electronic device including a predictor that has a collision history table (CHT) is presented. An extended load buffer is connected to the predictor. Also included is a marking unit, a comparing unit and a recovery unit connected to the extended load buffer. Unexecuted load instructions are advanced over store instructions. Also presented is a method for fetching an instruction and determining if an instruction is a store or a load. If the instruction is a store, then the method performs a silent store prediction. If the instruction is a load, a predicted silent store instruction is bypassed and the load instruction is executed.

The femtosecond laser based laser processing system allows for the utilization of the unique heat control in micromachining, and the system has greater output beam stability, continuously variable repetition rate and unique temporal beam shaping capabilities.
Abstract:
A method and system for warning an operator of a vehicle of a vehicular task that is being performed beyond a pre-determined time for execution of the task involving incrementally increasing audio and visual warnings as the task continues to be performed past the pre-determined time.
