Abstract:
A control method and apparatus are provided to convert a DC voltage into alternating voltage. The apparatus includes a first inverter and a second inverter to generate a first alternating voltage and a second alternating voltage, respectively. Also included is an interphase transformer to combine these alternating voltages in parallel to obtain a first resulting alternating voltage. The apparatus also includes a third inverter and a fourth inverter to generate a third and fourth alternating voltage, respectively. These are combined to form a second resulting alternating voltage. The second resulting alternating voltage is displaced in phase approximately 180° in relation to the first resulting alternating voltage.

Abstract:
PROPCA is a multi-purpose tool composed of two chocks joined by groove and protrusion. Installing the handle (bolt and spike) through the bottom of PROPCA could be used to remove dirt or snow, separate, each can perform various tasks due to particular form and drill holes in specific areas. The reduction in size allows the creation of different and more manageable tools, with better efficiency helping each other in the accomplishment of different task. To separate PROPCA, the spike and bolt should be removed and both chocks slide apart. That single chock could be used as a jack, hammer, nail remover, scraper, pickaxe, or as a tire catapult or tire restrainer. Both chocks could work together to remove the rim from the flat tire. Ordinary vehicle tools are limited in performance. A multi-purpose tools could be the difference when physical integrity is at risk.
Abstract:
Wheeleta comprises a regular wheelchair to which, the front area has been altered to adapt a pair of crutches. Wheeleta crutch assembly includes the wedges, the sheath, the spear and the handle with under arm cushion area and the bar. It will attach the handle to the spear by lifting the button and introducing the bar into the spear until the previously established height is reached. The button is liberated and the height is fixed. The wedge is attached to the end of the spear and kept in place by a pivot with an open end with a rotating metal blade. The crutches could be out of way by twisting the spear in its own sheath and utilized by the user when rises to go out or entering the chair. The crutches could be removed from the sheath by lifting and pushing the crutch. The wedges also, could be completely removed from the spear by twisting the flip at the end of the crutch pivot. The crutch handle with bar could be removed out of the spear and used to reach objects.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a solution to carry out High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging based on dynamic well capacity adjustment without incurring additional spatial-temporal noise and consequent Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) dips caused by the sub-threshold operation of a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) reset transistor in a pixel cell. Embodiments of the disclosure employ realizations of transistors other than CMOS, e.g. Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs), featuring asymmetric conduction between two of its terminals, where asymmetric conduction means that current can only flow in one direction between those two terminals. In some embodiments, one of such realizations plays the role of the pixel reset transistor in order to exploit the asymmetric conduction to perform dynamic well capacity adjustment. As a result, the sources of spatial-temporal noise arising from the sub-threshold operation of the pixel reset transistor in CMOS implementations are removed.

Abstract:
A system for automatically monitoring provisioning in a DSL network is disclosed. The system is operable to query network elements in the DSL network for information related to the provisioning of DSL services. Thereafter, the system analyzes the information to identify points of delay and/or failure in the provisioning process. If a delay exceeds a threshold value, an administrator is notified.
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automatically maintaining identity relationships among disparate enterprise information systems. The apparatus comprises a synchronization hub comprising an identity relationship repository, a relationship service module, a consistency module, and an adjustment module. The relationship service is configured to access a target relationship entry using a unique key from a source business object, wherein the source business object is representative of changes made in a source enterprise information system. The various components and modules of the synchronization hub cooperate to determine identity relationships that need updating and to propagate identity relationship changes to one or more destination enterprise information servers.
Abstract:
A data scrambler circuit which adds the SONET polynomial 1+X.sup.6 +X.sup.7 to data in a parallel format to thereby reduce circuitry clock rates to one-eighth the line rate, which reduces power consumption and simplifies timing constraints. A circuit embodiment includes a first series of flip-flops connected to generate the polynomial and a second series of flip-flops for holding the generated polynomial. To provide a relatively large window of time for looking at the data, parallel data is obtained by providing a parallel-to-parallel register at the output of a serial-to-parallel register. The parallel data is added to the held polynomial by a series of exclusive OR gates.
