摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention includes a structure that defines at least a transition interior, the structure including electrically-conductive materials, the structure defining first and second openings to the transition interior, the first opening configured to be open toward a first interior, of a first waveguide, which is a laminated waveguide, and the second opening configured to be open toward a second interior, of a second waveguide, the second interior being defined by an electrically-conductive structure of the second waveguide, whereby an electromagnetic wave is capable of being propagated via the transition interior, from one of the first and second interiors to the other of the first and second interiors, wherein content of the first interior has a dielectric constant that differs from a dielectric constant of content of the second interior, and the second waveguide is not laminated on the substrate on which the first waveguide is laminated.

A control system for a variable displacement compressor uses a mechanical valve to minimize energy consumption in an air conditioning system. The control system can also provide instantaneous indications to the vehicle controller of air conditioning power consumption to avoid engine loading. Controls are also used to contain oil within the compressor and to minimize its presence downstream of the compressor into the gas cooler and evaporator parts of the system.

The digital camera has an LCD and a print button and can set image capturing modes such as a single frame shooting mode and a continuous shooting mode. In the case where the print button is depressed in a state where the digital camera is set in the single frame shooting mode, after making an error check, the digital camera immediately shifts to a state where a print mode is set. In the print mode, a print setting screen in which settings of a print order can be made on an image recorded on a memory card is displayed on the LCD. As a result, settings of the print order can be made promptly.
摘要:
Electroporation is performed in a controlled manner in either individual or multiple biological cells or biological tissue by monitoring the electrical impedance, defined herein as the ratio of current to voltage in the electroporation cell. The impedance detects the onset of electroporation in the biological cell(s), and this information is used to control the intensity and duration of the voltage to assure that electroporation has occurred without destroying the cell(s). This is applicable to electroporation in general. In addition, a particular method and apparatus are disclosed in which electroporation and/or mass transfer across a cell membrane are accomplished by securing a cell across an opening in a barrier between two chambers such that the cell closes the opening. The barrier is either electrically insulating, impermeable to the solute, or both, depending on whether pore formation, diffusive transport of the solute across the membrane, or both are sought. Electroporation is achieved by applying a voltage between the two chambers, and diffusive transport is achieved either by a difference in solute concentration between the liquids surrounding the cell and the cell interior or by a differential in concentration between the two chambers themselves. Electric current and diffusive transport are restricted to a flow path that passes through the opening.
摘要:
A variable swash plate compressor (10), including a housing (12), a top inlet (14A), a bottom inlet (14B), a pumping chamber (16), a compression piston (18), a top outlet (20A), a bottom outlet (20B), a drive shaft (22), a control surface element (24), a pinnacle element (26), a swash plate (28), a bore (30) and a pocket (32) formed in the swash plate (28), a pivot element tip (38) and fulcrum piston assembly (40). Wherein the angle of the swash plate (28) relative to the drive shaft (22) is varied to bring about a larger or smaller travel path of the double-sided compression piston (18) and thereby increasing or decreasing the output capacity of the variable swash plate compressor (10).
摘要:
Embodiments of present invention provide a method of splicing optical fibers. The method includes holding a first and a second fiber respectively by a first and a second rotary clamp; aligning axes of the first and second fibers to a common reference; moving the first and second fibers that are being held by the first and second rotary clamps onto a splicing machine; and causing the first and second fibers being spliced together by the splicing machine. A fiber splicing apparatus or system is also provided for performing the method thereof.

An apparatus and method for coding block boundary detection using interpolated autocorrelation is disclosed. Input video frames are processed to obtain a binary map of possible block boundary pixels including original and rescaled block boundaries. The boundary pixel map is converted to a boundary histogram. Then interpolated autocorrelation is applied to the boundary histogram to detect the block size and block size offset. The interpolated autocorrelation handles both integer sizes and non-integer sizes. A confidence measure is also determined that reflects the accuracy of the detection result. The output for the current video frame is also post processed with information from previous frames to provide better temporal stability.
