    摘要: The present invention relates to improved methods for delivering bioadhesive, bioresorbable, anti-adhesion compositions. Antiadhesion compositions can be made of intermacromolecular complexes of carboxyl-containing polysaccharides, polyethers, polyacids, polyalkylene oxides, multivalent cations and/or polycations. The polymers are associated with each other, and are then used as fluids, gels or foams. By providing a product bag, the compositions can be delivered as gels or as sprays. By dissolving propellant gases in the compositions, the materials can be delivered as foams, which have decreased density, and therefore can adhere to surfaces that previously have been difficult to coat with antiadhesion gels. Delivery systems can also provide mechanisms for expelling more product, and for directing the flow of materials leaving the delivery system. Bioresorbable, bioadhesive, anti-adhesion, and/or hemostatic compositions are useful in surgery to prevent the formation and reformation of post-surgical adhesions. The biological and physical properties of such compositions can be varied as needed by carefully adjusting the pH and/or cation content of the polymer casting solutions, polyacid composition, the polyalkylene oxide composition, or by selecting the solids content of the composition. Antiadhesion compositions may also be used to lubricate tissues and/or medical instruments, and/or deliver drugs to the surgical site and release them locally.

    摘要: An integrated heat pump and electrical heat control (12) has thermostat signal inputs (O, W1, W2, G, Y) along with a defrost sensor input (DF_IN). The defrost sensor (22) is located in an outdoor unit (4) which also includes a compressor contactor (CC), condenser fan (16) and reversing valve (18) relays (K4, K3, K2) controlled by micro-controller (U1). The normally closed condenser fan relay (K3) is energized through the defrost sensor forming a hardware lock-out in which the defrost sensor contacts must be closed for relay (K3) to be actuated de-energizing the condenser fan. The compressor contactor (CC) is energized through a low pressure switch (24) and high pressure switch (26) forming another hardware interlock. The evaporator fan is energized by relay (K1) controlled by micro-controller (U1) and matched to the compressor for improved efficiency and comfort.

    摘要: An electric control for gas furnaces which controls a two speed main blower fan and an induction draft fan based on inputs from a room thermostat, a high limit and an ignition control including a gas valve. The control has a circuit board having a power supply for providing 24 volts DC current source to drive DC relays and a 5 volt DC power source to power a microprocessor. 24 volt AC input signals are coupled to the input ports of the microprocessor through current limiting resistors and to AC ground through pull down resistors. AC ground is also connected to the IRQ port of the microprocessor. The output ports of the microprocessor are connected to a relay driver which in turn is connected to the relays. Several breakaway tabs in the board provide optional features such as eliminating a normally provided draft delay timing function. Test pads are provided on the board so that the board can be tested during manufacture. An optional feature is shown comprising an LED which can be used to indicate the status of the system. Another optional feature incorporates a zener diode and resistor coupled to each input port to increase input thresholds. This feature is provided for use with power stealing electronic thermostats.The control calibrates itself on a continuing periodic basis to read the AC inputs synchronously at the peak of their wave and switches the relays asynchronously based on the real time clock of the microprocessor.

    摘要: Encrypted storage often introduces unwanted latency in access. This delay can result in a processor having to wait for critical data thus slowing performance. Generally speaking, the latency is at most an issue when reading from encrypted storage, since the processor may need the information read from encrypted storage to proceed. During a write operation, there typically is not an issue because the processor does not need to wait for the end of the write operation to proceed. A variant of counter (CTR) mode for a block cipher can be used to perform the majority of the decryption operation without knowledge of the ciphertext, therefore the majority of the decryption operation can be performed concurrently with the retrieval of the ciphertext from memory. In order to further secure the encrypted storage, a light encryption can be performed to further obfuscate the ciphertext.

    摘要: Multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory has become widely used due to their capacity to store more information in the same area as a single-level cell (SLC) flash memory. This makes MLC flash memory very attractive for storing media. Flash has also traditionally been used in electronic devices for firmware, but MLC flash is less reliable than SLC flash. For critical memory operations, MLC flash memory can be made as reliable as SLC flash by mapping one binary value to an MLC state corresponding to the highest threshold voltage and the other binary value to the MLC state corresponding the lowest threshold voltage when writing to the MLC flash, and by mapping all MLC states with corresponding threshold voltages above a central cutoff threshold voltage to one binary value and by mapping all MLC states with corresponding threshold voltages below a central cutoff threshold voltage to the other binary value.

    摘要翻译: 加密存储通常在访问中引入不必要的延迟。 这种延迟可能导致处理器必须等待关键数据,从而降低性能。 一般来说,从加密存储器读取时,等待时间至多是一个问题,因为处理器可能需要从加密存储器读取的信息进行。 在写入操作期间,通常不存在问题,因为处理器不需要等待写入操作的结束进行。 可以使用用于块密码的计数器(CTR)模式的变体来执行解密操作的大部分,而不需要密文的知识,因此大多数解密操作可以与从存储器检索密文同时执行。 为了进一步确保加密存储,可以执行轻加密以进一步模糊密文。
