摘要:
The disclosure describes Structured Biological Materials (“SBM”) adapted for use in emulsion-less multiphasic processes. The SBM is a substratum-microbial matrix combination, wherein the microbial matrix houses one or more natural or genetically-engineered microorganisms capable of catalyzing or performing reactions that occur in multiphasic environments. When used in an emulsion-less system, the SBMs should be able to maintain separation of the bulk phases sufficient to maintain the emulsion-less nature of the system. The disclosure also provides methods of using the SBMs, for example in performance of multiphasic reactions, such as emulsion-less biphasic liquid/liquid reactions. This disclosure also provides multiphasic membrane reactors wherein an SBM functions as the membrane, such as emulsion-less biphasic reactors wherein an SBM functions as the biphasic membrane.

A method and apparatus for counting seedlings. A seedling moves through a seedling counter, which comprises a spectral energy emitter and a spectral energy detector. When the spectral energy detector detects a sufficient attenuation of the spectral energy for a sufficient amount of time, the spectral energy detector indicates the presence of a seedling. The spectral energy detector detects irregularities in the received spectral energy to indicate faults in the apparatus. In one embodiment, the seedling counter is adapted to use X-ray energy.

Embodiments of the present invention provide installation templates and methods that allow placement of various sized equipment in a finished wall or ceiling. In one embodiment, a method of forming an aperture for mounting of an in-wall component between two supports is provided. The method generally includes coupling a substrate, including an adjustable guide corresponding to the dimensions of the in-wall component, to the two supports, installing drywall over the substrate and the guide, and forming the aperture by removing at least a portion of the drywall installed over the guide.

A method and system for emulating content-addressable memory (CAM) primitives (e.g., a read operation) is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method is provided for emulating a read operation on a plurality of CAM elements utilizing a read input including match input data and a CAM element selection index. In the described method, match reference data is distributed among a plurality of random-access memory (RAM) elements by storing match reference data corresponding to each of the plurality of CAM elements within a first RAM element of the plurality. Thereafter, a first record is identified within the first RAM element utilizing a first portion of the match input data and the CAM element selection index. A read operation result is then generated utilizing the first record.

摘要:
A proprietary component (300) receives (101) substantially unique open-platform device information and stores (102) it. The proprietary component, upon later detecting (103) requested usage of its capabilities, receives (105) verification information (from, for example, the open-platform device) and compares (106) that verification information against the previously stored information. If this comparison does not provide an expected result (107), the proprietary component prohibits (109) some or all of its capabilities and functionality. Such prohibition can be temporary or permanent. Such prohibition can also be conditioned, if desired, upon similar tests being conducted with respect to other proprietary components as may also have been operably engaged with the open-platform device.
摘要:
An apparatus for generating multi-phase signals includes a delay chain to produce multi-phase signals, a slow boundary signal, and a fast boundary signal. An array of trim capacitors is connected to the delay chain. A timing control window circuit produces a control signal when a reference signal is outside a timing control window defined by the slow boundary signal and the fast boundary signal. A digital circuit produces a digital capacitive trim signal for application to the array of trim capacitors in response to the control signal. The digital capacitive trim signal alters the capacitive loading of the delay chain.
