摘要:
Described herein is a flexible piezoresistive switch sensor responding only to a minimum threshold compression deformation force. The switch sensor comprises a non-porous housing that separates an external environment from an internal environment; one or more decoupled electrodes comprising or formed of a flexible conductor; a non conductive insulating spacer layer enforcing the one or more decoupled electrodes in bending or twisting forces, while allowing electrode coupling due to compression; a piezoresistive layer decoupled from the electrodes via the insulating spacer layer; and an elastomeric polymer layer comprising one or more buckling or spring elements configured to separate a minimum required compression force on the piezoresistive layer and the non-conductive insulating layer.

A system and method for detecting malware on a limited access mobile platform in a mobile network. The system and method uses one or more feature sets that describe various non-executable portions of malware-infected and malware-free applications, and compares a application on the limited access mobile platform to the features sets. A match of the features in a suspect application to one of the feature sets provides an indication as to whether the suspect application is malware-infected or malware-free.

A method of storing mammalian cells or tissue (e.g., liver cells or hepatocytes) for subsequent use comprises the steps of: (a) contacting the cells or tissue in vitro to a choleretic agent in an effective amount; (b) combining said cells or tissue with a cryopreservative; (c) freezing said cells or tissue, and then (d) storing said frozen cells or tissue in frozen form for subsequent use.

A support assembly for supporting a conduit includes a support, a clamp, and a hanger. The support has a partial-cylindrical shape including a first section having a first diameter and a second section having a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter. In one aspect, at least one of the first section and the second section define a first aperture in the partial-cylindrical shape. In another aspect, at least one of the first section and the second section includes a retention member extending radially from an outer surface of the partial-cylindrical shape. The retention member includes a closed loop or a partially-open loop that defines a second aperture for receiving a strap to secure the conduit to the support. The clamp is configured to secure the conduit to the support. The hanger is configured to suspend the support from a structure.

An Apparatus for mixing, comprising a tumble-blender adapted to receive and tumble a container to mix the contents of the container. The apparatus includes a drive means for driving a mixer of the container. The drive means is adapted to dock with the mixer when the container is received by the tumble-blender to enable operation of the mixer by the drive means. The drive is movably mounted, relative to the tumble-blender, to facilitate docking of the drive means with the mixer.

摘要:
A RAM mapping table is restored from flash memory using plane, block, and page addresses generated by a physical sequential address counter. The RAM mapping table is restored following a plane-interleaved sequence generated by the physical sequential address counter using interleaved bits extracted from the lowest bits of the logical block index. These plane-interleave bits are split into a LSB and a MSB, with middle physical block bits between the LSB and MSB. The physical sequential address counter generates a physical block number by incrementing the plane-interleave bits before the middle physical block bits, and then relocating the MSB to above the middle physical block bits. This causes blocks to be accessed in a low-high sequence of 0, 1, 4096, 4097, 2, 3, 4098, 4099, etc. in the four planes of flash memory. Background recycling and ECC writes are also performed.

A flash memory controller on a PCIE bus controls flash-memory modules on a flash bus. The flash-memory modules are plane-interleaved using interleaved bits extracted from the lowest bits of the logical block index. These plane-interleave bits are split into a LSB and a MSB, with middle physical block bits between the LSB and MSB. A physical sequential address counter generates a physical block number by incrementing the plane-interleave bits before the middle physical block bits, and then relocating the MSB to above the middle physical block bits. This causes blocks to be accessed in a low-high sequence of 0, 1, 4096, 4097, 2, 3, 4098, 4099, etc. in the four planes of flash memory. A RAM physical page valid table tracks valid pages in the four planes, while a RAM mapping table stores the plane, block, and page addresses for logical sectors generated by the physical sequential address counter.

A multi-ring memory controller sends request packets to multiple rings of serial flash-memory chips. Each of the multiple rings has serial flash-memory chips with serial links in a uni-directional ring. Each serial flash-memory chip has a bypassing transceiver with a device ID checker that bypasses serial packets to a clock re-synchronizer and bypass logic for retransmission to the next device in the ring, or extracts the serial packet to the local device when an ID match occurs. Serial packets pass through all devices in the ring during one round-trip transaction from the controller. The average latency of one round is constant for all devices on the ring, reducing data-dependent performance, since the same packet latency occurs regardless of the data location on the ring. The serial links can be a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express bus. Packets have modified-PCI-Express headers that define the packet type and data-payload length.
