摘要： The present invention relates to a pet door system that has one or more open modes throughout a day wherein a pet can transverse the door for limited duration of time. In one variation, the open mode of the door may terminate upon passage by the pet and the pet may traverse the door at the next open mode. In one variation, the pet door system is controlled by a smart phone and an associated smart phone application.

摘要： A system and method for determining the dissociation constant for a particular ligand is disclosed. In accordance with certain embodiments, the method creates a chemical denaturation curve of a protein in the absence of the ligand. A particular point is selected from this curve, such as the point at which 90% of the protein is unfolded. The molarity of chemical denaturant is determined for this selected point. A one point test is then performed for the protein with a predetermined concentration of the particular ligand. The fraction of protein which is unfolded at this point is then used to determine the dissociation constant for the ligand. This constant is used to quickly determine whether a particular ligard is well suited to be considered a potential drug candidate against that protein target.

摘要： The present invention relates generally to process control systems and devices and, more particularly, to an apparatus for and a method of implementing redundant controller synchronization for bump-less failover during normal and mismatch conditions at the redundant controllers. The redundant controllers are configured to transmit state information of the process control areas of the primary controller to the backup controller that is necessary for synchronizing the redundant controllers but is not typically transmitted to other devices during the performance of process control functions. Synchronization messages are transmitted from the primary controller to the backup controller each time one of the control areas executes to perform process control functions. In other aspects, the redundant controllers are configured to determine state information at the backup controller from other process control network information during a fallover of the primary controller where a mismatch condition exists between the control areas of the two controllers during the downloading of reconfigurations, and to initialize the backup controller at startup when the mismatch condition exists.

摘要： An apparatus comprises an inlet to convey a first fluid comprising first and second components having different density into a rotating chamber such that an interface forms between at least portions of such components at a first location. At least one outlet removes at least one of the first and second components. A controller is adapted to introduce the first fluid and is operable to move the interface from the first location to a second location and to move the interface from the second location in a direction toward the first location and to return the interface to the second location. The controller is operable to determine a flow rate of the first or second component based, at least in part, on the time interval between when the interface moves from and returns to the second location. At least one sensing assembly is adapted to sense the location of the interface.

摘要： A pseudo Set/Reset latch circuit is configured with modified NOR or NAND gates wherein one of the series pull-up devices or pull-down devices is removed. A minimum of three pseudo Set/Reset latches may be coupled as a ring oscillator generating an output and a non-skewed complementary output. Additionally, feed-forward inverting stages may be coupled in parallel with inverting paths in the ring oscillator primary path to further increase the frequency range of the ring oscillator. The pseudo Set/Reset latch circuits and the feed-forward inverting stages may be configured with voltage controlled devices that alter the delay of the stages as a means for varying the frequency of the ring oscillator either by varying the current drive of the circuitry driving the output of the latch stages or by varying the conductance of devices coupling between the latch stages. Feedforward inverting stages may comprise pseudo latches or inverter gates.

摘要： MEMS-based, computer system, clock generation and oscillator circuits and LC-tank apparatus for use therein are provided and which are fabricated using a CMOS-compatible process. A micromachined inductor (L) and a pair of varactors (C) are developed in metal layers on a silicon substrate to realize the high quality factor LC-tank apparatus. This micromachined LC-tank apparatus is incorporated with CMOS transistor circuitry in order to realize a digital, tunable, low phase jitter, and low power clock, or time base, for synchronous integrated circuits. The synthesized clock signal can be divided down with digital circuitry from several GHz to tens of MHZ—a systemic approach that substantially improves stability as compared to the state of the art. Advanced circuit design techniques have been utilized to minimize power consumption and mitigate transistor flicker noise upconversion, thus enhancing clock stability.

摘要： A gas mixing system and method designed to flush produce with a gas-air mixture of desired oxygen concentration to preserve the produce. The produce is placed in a vacuum vessel, which is then evacuated to a desired degree. Atmospheric air is provided to the vacuum vessel via an air valve, and nitrogen gas is provided to the vacuum vessel via a gas valve. A valve controller operates in a first mode wherein the air valve is a fully open master valve and the gas valve is a partially or fully open slave valve, and operates in a second mode wherein the gas valve is a fully open master valve and the air valve is a partially or fully open slave valve. The system automatically switches between the two modes to accommodate changing conditions, to maintain the desired oxygen concentration in the gas-air mixture. Multiple modes are possible with greater numbers of valves.
