摘要： A method is provided for precisely and concurrently measuring dynamic engine oil consumption and fuel consumption within an internal combustion engine in an automotive environment on a real time basis. Nonradioactive tracer compounds, such as bromine or chlorine in the form of organic bromo- or chloro-compounds are added to the engine oil in small amounts. Upon complete combustion, the bromine or chlorine is converted into either hydrogen bromide or hydrogen chloride. A sample of the exhaust gases generated by the internal combustion engine and comprising the hydrogen bromide or hydrogen chloride is collected and maintained at a pressure where distinction between an absorption line of the tracer specie and the absorption lines of a related isotopic species is discernible. Monochromatic radiation is then transmitted through the gaseous sample at the frequency of an absorption line particular to the tracer specie. Because of the high spectral power density and spectral resolution of the preferred tunable diode lasers, tunable diode laser spectroscopy may be used to measure the amount of tracer isotope within the resultant HCl or HBr gases in the exhaust gases. Corresponding fuel consumption may also be determined from the CO.sub.2 in the exhaust gases by similar methods.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于在汽车环境中实时地精确并同时测量内燃机内的动态发动机机油消耗和燃料消耗的方法。 非挥发性示踪剂化合物，例如有机溴或氯化合物形式的溴或氯，少量加入发动机油中。 完全燃烧后，溴或氯转化为溴化氢或氯化氢。 由内燃机产生并包含溴化氢或氯化氢的废气样品被收集并保持在示踪物种的吸收线与相关同位素物质的吸收线之间区别的压力。 然后将单色辐射以特定于示踪物质的吸收线的频率透过气态样品。 由于优选的可调谐二极管激光器具有高光谱功率密度和光谱分辨率，因此可调谐二极管激光光谱仪可用于测量废气中产生的HCl或HBr气体中的示踪剂同位素的量。 相应的燃料消耗也可以通过类似的方法从废气中的CO 2确定。

摘要： A device for use with soft robotic devices comprises soft fluidic actuators, a microfluidic/minifluidic valves and channels module, a fluidic module, sensors, and a control module. The actuators are operable to apply predetermined effects to surfaces and/or objects. The microfluidic/minifluidic valves and channels module has micro/mini fluidic channels and on-chip fluidic pressure-controlled pinch valves forming a fluidic network. Each pinch valve has a valve pinch chamber, a membrane layer, and a valve control pressure chamber. The control module receives signals from the sensors and controls the fluidic module to control the pinch valves to induce flow of fluid under pressure to the actuators. An active compression apparel may include the device, and may have a skin contact backing layer and a strain-limiting backing layer sandwiching the actuators which are operable to provide compression to the skin and/or limb of a user through the at least one backing layer.

摘要： A user interface that displays a number of cards or windows is described where a user can move the cards in a horizontal direction freely. When a card resides in a locked zone, as defined by a user, the card will be able to be manipulated in a vertical direction, while cards that reside in a regular zone will not be able to be moved vertically. In addition, only cards that are in the locked zone can be subjected to a user action such as cutting content from the card, pasting content to the card, enlarging the contents of the card, or shrinking the contents of the card.

摘要： Aspects for managing subsystem processes from a central site in a digital media distributor system are presented. The aspects include utilizing a plurality of threads as a task manager in a central site server of the digital media distributor, and autonomously controlling initiation and termination of one or more subsystem processes with the task manager. The aspects further include providing the task manager as a main program thread of an operating system of a central site server of the DMD system, and managing subsystem processes from start-up to shut down, including states of online, offline, process inoperable, deadlock inoperable, and spawn inoperable, with the task manager to dynamically manage the DMD system.

摘要： Aspects for efficient archiving and dearchiving for a digital media distributor are presented. The aspects include a tape library for storing archived storage items, an archive server coupled to and managing the tape library, and a central site server coupled to the archive server and including a stage manager component. The stage manager component performs an archive operation to the archive server in response to a store request by grouping storage items according to predefined group categories and performs a dearchive operation from the archive server in response to a retrieve request by sorting storage items according to storage order within the predefined group categories.

摘要： A multimedia search and indexing system automatically selects scenes or events of interest from any media, i.e., video, film, sound for replay, in whole or in part, in other contexts. The entire audio track of a recorded event in video, film, sound, etc., is analyzed to determine audio levels within a set of frequency ranges of interest. Audio clip levels within the selected frequency ranges are chosen as audio cues representative of events of interest in the track. The selection criteria are applied to the audio track of the recorded event. An Edit Decision List (EDL) is generated from the analysis of the audio track. The list is representative of scenes or sounds of interest as clips for reuse. The clips are reviewed and accepted or rejected for reuse. Once selected, the clips are edited using industry standard audio and video editing techniques.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and system for object retransmission in an asynchronous environment without a continuous network connection in a digital media distributor (DMD) system. The method and system include receiving objects in a receiver from a central site, generating a response document in the receiver, and sending the response document asynchronously to the central site. The received response documents are then utilized in the central site to determine which object to retransmit to the receiver. In another aspect of the present invention, the central site manages the inventory of objects in the receiver by instructing the receiver to delete objects not needed.

摘要： A simplified TV viewer response system coupled to a telephone system enables a viewer/subscriber to respond to television displays by dialing a special code less than six digits. The code is routed to an enhanced services server. The server captures the dial string including the caller ID, checks the caller ID against a subscriber/viewer profile and maps the caller ID to the cable company providing service to the viewer/subscriber. The server delivers the response to the cable television company which processes the response according to the selected items or choices in the TV screen. Several special dialing codes of limited digits expedite viewer/subscriber selections. Each code includes a special character to route the dialing string to the server. The system provides sound recognition of viewer/subscriber selections.

摘要： A multi-media search and indexing system for automatic selection of scenes or sounds recorded in media for replay in other context by analyzing the media for a set of frequency ranges of interest for replay. The media is analyzed to select desired frequency ranges of interest within the media, the selected frequency ranges being indicative of a scene or sound of interest. The granularity or length of the selected frequency ranges is selected for analysis. A number of analysis intervals are determined in the selected frequency ranges. The media is filtered for the selected frequency ranges and the audio level is measured for each interval. An audio clip level is established for each frequency range as indicative of a scene or sound of interest. The interval frequency range and audio level are recorded for subsequent replay.
