A heated eyelash curler comprise a curling head portion having an arcuate top surface on one end and a protection case on the other end. The protection case serves as a handle for the device as well as encloses the power source, for example, a battery. The curling head portion includes a heating element laid on the arcuate top surface caged inside a plurality of bridges or protected between protruding comblike spikes. A pigmented silicone piece which changes in color corresponding to the temperature of the heating element is directly contacted with the heating element for fast and accurate response. The heating element comprises a conducting coil or wire in zigzag configuration inserted into a conducting tube such as a brass tubing coated on the outside surface with a non-sticking material such as teflon. The recommended heating mechanism or circuitry for a battery heated heating element includes a converter for boosting the voltage of the power source. This will hasten the rise in temperature of the heating element and in combination with the heating element having the conducting coil or wire in zigzag configuration, will provide a more stable and even heating.

An x-ray reflector may include: a substrate; a first layer formed on the substrate, the first layer including a relatively higher-Z material, where Z represents the atomic number; and a second layer formed on the first layer, the second layer including a relatively lower-Z material; at least one of the first layer and the second layer exhibiting a taper in an axial direction extending between a first end of the substrate and a second end of the substrate.

A stackable rack may comprise: at least two rails, a cross-section of each rail having a shape resembling a staircase, first step portion of which represents a first surface upon which a reflector can be disposed; and a second step portion of which represents a second surface which can support another rail. A method of making a narrow band x-ray filter may comprise: providing a substrate; and stacking one or more reflection units in succession upon the substrate, each reflection unit including a rack (such as mentioned above) and a reflector held by the rack. An apparatus to produce a substantially narrow band x-ray beam may include such a filter. An apparatus to make an x-ray image of a subject may include: the apparatus to produce a substantially narrow band x-ray beam, e.g., as set forth above, and an x-ray detector arranged to receive the narrow band x-ray.

An implantable medical device (IMD) includes a sensor for monitoring parameters indicative of sleep disordered breathing. The IMD also includes a position sensor that indicates the relative position and/or activity level of the patient. The position sensor data is used in one or more ways in conjunction with the SDB sensing. The position data is used to confirm that such sensed data is likely indicative of SDB or to select the appropriate criteria for comparison.

Provided is a write circuit of a DDR SDRAM, in which a clock domain crossing is generated from a writing driver during a data write operation and a proper data is always transferred to a gio bus line by using the delay of an internal data strobe signal's falling for a certain amount of time as an input data strobe bar signal. Moreover, by using a skew detection circuit, it is possible to detect a skew tDQSS between a clock and a data strobe, and the skew tDQSS is automatically compensated by the skew compensation circuit. From the perspective of a timing error between the clock and the data strobe, therefore, the write operation of the DDR SDRAM has twice the timing margin (0.5tCK) compared to that of the related art. This means that a stable, high-speed write operation of the DDR SDRAM can be made possible.

The present invention provides a system and method for estimating duplicate data in a storage system. A duplicate estimation application executes on a client of a storage system selects an element from an intended destination such as, e.g., a data store of the storage system. If the element is a file (or other data container), the application reads data from the file and computes a fingerprint of the read data. The computed fingerprint is then logged in a fingerprint database, which is illustratively stored on a storage device connected to the client executing the application. This process repeats until the entire file (or other data container) has been read and fingerprinted. Once all elements have been scanned, fingerprinted and recorded, the application identifies any unique entries within the fingerprint database. Utilizing this information, the application computes an estimated space savings that may be realized by employing a data de-duplication technique.

Devices for cleaning and preparing pavement cracks for sealing are disclosed. An example device comprises a wire brush assembly for removal of mid and large-sized debris, an air blaster for removal of fine-grained particulate, a heat lance, and a vacuum for controlled removal of debris and particulates. The example device would also have means for attachment to an air compressor.

Methods and devices for determining optimal Atrial to Ventricular (AV) pacing intervals and Ventricular to Ventricular (VV) delay intervals in order to optimize cardiac output. Impedance, preferably sub-threshold impedance, is measured across the heart at selected cardiac cycle times as a measure of chamber expansion or contraction. One embodiment measures impedance over a long AV interval to obtain the minimum impedance, indicative of maximum ventricular expansion, in order to set the AV interval. Another embodiment measures impedance change over a cycle and varies the AV pace interval in a binary search to converge on the AV interval causing maximum impedance change indicative of maximum ventricular output. Another method varies the right ventricle to left ventricle (VV) interval to converge on an impedance maximum indicative of minimum cardiac volume at end systole. Another embodiment varies the VV interval to maximize impedance change.

A method and apparatus are provided for inspecting an electrical defectiveness of a liquid crystal display substrate. The method includes shorting ESD protection devices with a conductive shorting bar to form a current path on each of signal wirings of the substrate, supplying a current to the signal wirings, and determining a defectiveness of the signal wirings depending on the current flowing on the signal wirings.
