A method for testing a consumer electronics (CE) product that wirelessly receives user commands from an IR remote control includes obtaining command codes from the remote and correlating the command codes to respective functions. A tester can generate a test script designating the functions but the tester is not required to designate the command codes. In this way, the script can be executed by wirelessly transmitting to the CE product command codes corresponding to the functions designated in the script. During script execution, the CE product is queried for health indicia such as memory usage. The CE product sends the product health indicia to a test computer over a USB debug port.

A prosthetic valve assembly for use in replacing a deficient native valve comprises a replacement valve supported on an expandable prosthesis frame. The valve may be delivered transluminally or transmyocardially using a thorascopic or other limited access approach using a delivery catheter. Preferably, the initial partial expansion of the valve is performed against the native valve annulus to provide adequate anchoring and positioning of the valve as the remaining portions of the valve expand. The valve may be delivered using a retrograde or antegrade approach. When delivered using a retrograde approach, a delivery catheter with a pull-back sheath may be used, while antegrade delivery is preferably performed with a delivery catheter with a push-forward sheath that releases the proximal end of the valve first.

The present invention is related to a switch for use in wireless communication systems. In one embodiment, the switch can concurrently process data from multiple mobile stations and supports full duplex, i.e., allowing receiving and transmitting data at the same time. The switch can concurrently communicate with other switches and/or mobile stations in the basic service set (BSS) of that switch. A switch may be considered an access point commonly used in other approaches. However, systems using the switch do not need to use an Ethernet switch commonly found in WLAN communication systems that use access points. Switches may be set up in a master-slave scheme wherein a master switch communicates with its slave switches, and slave switches communicate with one another through the master switch. If the data is for a mobile station in the same BSS of the switch, then, via a switch controller, the switch passes the data from the receiving path to the transmitting path. As a result, the data does not have to travel out of the switch and then back to the same switch again.

A hardware looping mechanism and method is described herein for handling any number and/or type of discontinuity instruction that may arise when executing program instructions within a scalar or superscalar processor. For example, the hardware looping mechanism may provide zero-overhead looping for branch instructions, in addition to single loop constructs and multiple loop constructs (which may or may not be nested). Zero-overhead looping may also be provided in special cases, e.g., when servicing an interrupt or executing a branch-out-of-loop instruction. In addition to reducing the number of instructions required to execute a program, as well as the overall time and power consumed during program execution, the hardware looping mechanism described herein may be integrated within any processor architecture without modifying existing program code.

The present invention relates to moldable composite articles, and particularly to a molded nonwoven fibrous article, and specifically to an automobile headliner that has improved physical properties at low weight. There is a need to minimize the weight of the headliner and the critical parameter is minimum sag. For a molded non-needlepunched batt in the weight range of 1000 to 1200 grams per square meter (gsm), the sag at 91° C. must be less than 10 mm, when cantilevering a distance of 28 cm. The stiffness, strength and toughness of the batt should be greater than 2 N/mm, 17N and 70% respectively. In the first embodiment, the thermoplastic binder is a bicomponent fiber with an adhesion promoted polyolefin sheath and a polyester core. In the second embodiment, the matrix fiber is a synthetic fiber with a modulus greater than 10 cN/tex. In the third embodiment the matrix fiber is a natural fiber. In the fourth embodiment the bicomponent fiber contains a filler such as carbon black or titanium dioxide.

The prefabricated universal structural steel panel and panel system includes a generally elongated rectangular panel having an opposed exterior and interior surfaces, an opposed first and second end portions, and an opposed first and second side edge portions. At least two stiffening ribs are integrally formed in the panel and extend longitudinally between the first and second end portions. The first side edge portion has a beveled configuration and is integrally connected to an elongated male connecting member. An elongated female connecting member is integrally connected to the second side edge portion and extends adjacent the interior surface to define a fold. The elongated male connecting member of one panel is cooperatively profiled to mate with the female connecting member of an adjacent panel.

摘要:
An access control system including a remote station that is in communication with both a base station and an access control device, whereby a user located at the remote station can effect the actuation of an access control device directly if the user possesses the proper authorization, or, indirectly, by requesting and receiving an authorization signal from the base station which then allows the user to directly effect actuation of the access control device.

A memory system includes memory cells arranged in sectors. A decoder corresponding to a sector disables memory cells having a defective top gate. The decoder may include a low voltage or high voltage latch for the disabling. A top gate handling algorithm is included. The memory system may include dynamic top gate coupling. A programming algorithm and waveforms with top gate handling is included.

A heart valve prosthesis is provided having a self-expanding multi-level frame that supports a valve body comprising a skirt and plurality of coapting leaflets. The frame transitions between a contracted delivery configuration that enables percutaneous transluminal delivery, and an expanded deployed configuration having an asymmetric hourglass shape. The valve body skirt and leaflets are constructed so that the center of coaptation may be selected to reduce horizontal forces applied to the commissures of the valve, and to efficiently distribute and transmit forces along the leaflets and to the frame. Alternatively, the valve body may be used as a surgically implantable replacement valve prosthesis.
