摘要:
An apparatus, and an associated method, facilitates capturing an image in an electronic camera without having to wait for an image to settle or the camera to stabilize. Image frames are captured continuously. Data representing captured images is compressed. The compressed files are stored continuously, such that even before a shutter button is actuated, one or compressed image frames have already been recorded. When the shutter button is actuated, the largest of the compressed data files is selected for use, such as display, printing or transmission. Selection is made based on the size of the compressed image file.

The subject disclosure relates to authorization based on a determination of permissions that can be granted for an action(s) to be performed on a resource. The determination of the permission is based on a set of rules that represent a theory including a notion of trust that has been divided into different sized tables. The tables are utilized to evaluate two or more input claims and to facilitate a determination of whether access to at least one system resource is to be granted. The evaluation can include matching the two or more input claims to rows in the table, wherein access is allowed if a match is found.

A mobile wireless communications device is for use with a hearing aid including a hearing aid compatible (HAC) coil. The device may include a portable housing and a wireless receiver carried by the portable housing. The device may also include at least one image capture component and a positioning coil associated therewith and carried by the portable housing. A controller may also be carried by the portable housing for selectively operating the positioning coil for image capture, and for inductively coupling received signals from the wireless receiver to the HAC coil.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for using HyperText Transfer Protocol communication as a transport for bi-directional data streams. Embodiments of the invention facilitate passing otherwise blocked TCP communication through a firewall. Embodiments of the invention can be used to pass legitimate TCP communication through a firewall even though a firewall is configured to block the legitimate TCP communication.

A nanoelectronic sensing device includes a substrate, a nanostructure element disposed adjacent the substrate, and at least a conductive element electrically connected to the nanostructure element. The device is configured to heat at least a portion of the sensor structure including the nanostructure element. In certain embodiments, the nanostructure element comprises at least one nanotube, the nanotube being electrically connected to at least two conductors so as to permit an electric current on the order of 10 microAmps or greater to be passed through the nanotube, causing the nanotube to heat up relative to the substrate. In alternative embodiments, the sensing device includes a platform or membrane which is at least partially thermally isolated by one or more cavities, the platform supporting at least the nanostructure element adjacent to a microheater element. The heating of the sensor structure may be employed, for example, for thermoregulation, to accelerate and/or increase sensor response, and to improve other sensor characteristics.

A carbon nanotube is formed on at least one Molybdenum-based electrode. In one embodiment, a carbon-nanotube device includes a pair of Molybdenum-based electrodes over respective terraces. Using a catalyst on the Molybdenum-based material of at least one electrode, a carbon nanotube is grown over a gap that separates the terraces to connect the Molybdenum-based electrodes. Yet other aspects of the present invention employ carbon nanotubes extending (suspended) from respective Molybdenum-based structures for use in electrically addressable devices. The nanotubes can also be formed by patterned growth to bridge such Molybdenum-based electrodes. A particular method for manufacturing this device does not require post-growth processing. Applications include, among many others, scalable nanotube transistors/switches nano-electromechanical systems.

A method is provided for determining Young's modulus and, if desired, Poisson's ratio of a coating on a substrate wherein load-displacement indentation data in the elastic region (either elastic loading or unloading) generated using an indenter is analyzed to interpret the elastic repsonse of a coated material. The data analysis pursuant to the invention is based on an extended Hertzian analysis developed for thin-film coatings.
