Abstract:
An example includes a method of imaging brain activity. The method includes receiving signals corresponding to neuronal activity of the brain. The signals are based on a plurality of scalp sensors (110). The method also includes decomposing the signals into spatial and temporal independent components (140). In addition, the method includes localizing a plurality of sources corresponding to the independent components. The method includes generating a spatio-temporal representation of neural activity based on the plurality of sources.
Abstract:
An emergency exit indicator includes a flat housing and a light source received in the housing. The housing has a length greater than a width thereof. The housing includes a panel provided with a sign thereon to indicate emergency exit. The light source includes a plurality of LEDs each being covered by a lens. Light of the LED goes through the lens and is then illuminated on the sign to cause the sign to be visible. The lens has two opposite sides along a lengthwise direction of the housing longer than other two opposite sides along a widthwise direction of the housing, such that the light through the lens along the widthwise direction of the housing is converged in a narrower manner than the light through the lens along the lengthwise direction of the housing.
Abstract:
A preservative system and a personal care composition containing that system is provided which includes the preservative combination of a C10C24 acyl glycinate salt and a dihydroxypropyl quaternary ammonium salt, and wherein the system exhibits a Log Reduction against Pseudomonas aeruginosa of at least 2 within 48 hours of application to an aqueous system. This preservative system is effective against gram negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for facilitating decoding a communication received from a wireless terminal. Encoded bits are received from the wireless terminal via a shared uplink channel, and a plurality of acknowledgment tones are identified within the encoded bits. A correlation value is ascertained corresponding to a correlation between detected bits within the plurality of acknowledgment tones and valid bits corresponding to any of a plurality of valid acknowledgment codewords. A determination is then made as to whether the plurality of acknowledgment tones includes information corresponding to a discontinuous transmission by comparing the correlation value to a threshold value.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of enhanced perfume retention, e.g., bars providing enhanced retention. By selecting specific bar compositions (e.g., with low TFM and specific starch-polyol structuring system), it has been unexpectedly found that retention of perfume during dry bar storage is actually increased.
Abstract:
An LED lamp (100) includes a plurality of LED modules (20) and a thermal module (30). Each of the LED modules has a plurality of LEDs (220). The thermal module is secured to a side of the LED modules. The thermal module includes a plurality of fins (320). The fins are stacked with one above another with a gap defined between two adjacent fins. Each of the fins defines two opening (325). The openings of the fins coincide with each other from top to bottom so as to form two channels (328). The channels are used for air to flow therein to exchange heat with the fins.
Abstract:
A novel disk drive is disclosed and claimed. The disk drive includes a disk and a spindle motor to which the disk is attached to rotate about an axis of rotation. The disk drive also includes a stationary plate facing and disposed over the disk, wherein the stationary plate includes a plurality of grooves through which rotation-induced air flows from an inlet end to an outlet end. The disk drive also includes a recirculation filter coupled to and immediately adjacent said outlet end of said plurality of grooves.
Abstract:
A personal care composition is provided having a fragrance which incorporates limonene, gamma terpinene, ethylene brassylate or combinations thereof in conjunction with a quaternary ammonium salt. The salt has a structure AB, wherein A is a cationic charge component, B is an anionic charge component, and A has one quaternized nitrogen atom, at least two hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight no higher than about 250. The quaternary ammonium salt functions as a scent boosting agent to enhance volatilization of the fragrance components when the personal care composition is first applied to skin or hair of the human body.
Abstract:
An LED lamp (10) includes a lamp base (100), an optical lens system (400), an LED (500) mounted in the optical lens system and a heat dissipation device (300) interconnecting the lamp base and the optical lens system. The heat dissipation device includes a heat sink (334) and a heat pipe (332). The heat sink includes a central block (3340), a plurality of fins (3342) mounted on an outer circumferential face of the central block and a receiving hole (3346) defined axially through the central block. The heat pipe is circumferentially retained in the receiving hole and in thermal contact with the LED.
