    摘要: In a liquid sensing system, an RF signal is applied to a series-resonant circuit. The coil of the resonant circuit is placed proximate to a fuel tank, causing electromagnetic radiation to propagate into the fuel space. The fuel acts as an electrical load to the resonant circuit in a manner proportionate to the volume of fuel in the tank and/or to variations in electrical properties of the fuel itself. The loading effect of the fuel can change the resonant frequency and/or the Q of the resonant circuit. The loading effect of the fuel is determined by monitoring a change in one or more electrical parameters associated with the excited resonant circuit, such as a voltage across the resistor in the resonant circuit. Changes in this voltage are analyzed by a controller, the result of which is used to output a value indicative of level and/or composition of the fuel.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a media server for a mobile computing device that can efficiently arbitrate media content, such as audio or video, among a plurality of client applications. In some embodiments, audio from the client applications is handled based on buffers in an audio queue. The media server is capable of arbitrating both compressed and uncompressed audio in these buffers with the availability of various resources, such as a decompressor. In addition, the media server is capable of scheduling various commands that support the audio in the buffers. For example, in some embodiments, the media server may be able to schedule various commands in advance of a format change in the audio. Other commands may also be scheduled, such as, transitions between compressed and uncompressed audio, digital rights management operations, and the like.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a nail and fastener assembly for use in providing a stable construct for optimal fixation of the hindfoot and to methods for implanting the nail and fastener assembly. One embodiment of the nail and fastener assembly provides additional fixation, for example, in the form of one or more threaded bores, to hold the fasteners in a fixed position. Another embodiment provides angled bores to allow multi-planar and multi-axial implantation of the fasteners. In some instances, the fasteners may cross one or more articulating surfaces of the foot. For example, the fastener may traverse one or more of the calcaneo-cuboid and the talo-calcaneal articulating surfaces to aid in more secure stabilization of the hindfoot.

    摘要: An electric machine includes a housing defining a stop therein and an end shield coupled to the housing. The machine also includes a non-segmented stator or a segmented stator. In either case, the stator is captured between the end shield and the stop within the housing. The stator includes a first end portion abutting against the stop. The stop is configured to maintain contact with the stator even during operation of the machine to thereby restrain movement of the stator relative to the housing.

    摘要: Storing audio data encoded in any of a plurality of different audio encoding formats is enabled by parametrically defining the underlying format in which the audio data is encoded, in audio format and packet table chunks. A flag can be used to manage storage of the size of the audio data portion of the file, such that premature termination of an audio recording session does not result in an unreadable corrupted file. This capability can be enabled by initially setting the flag to a value that does not correspond to a valid audio data size and that indicates that the last chunk in the file contains the audio data. State information for the audio data, to effectively denote a version of the file, and a dependency indicator for dependent metadata, may be maintained, where the dependency indicator indicates the state of the audio data on which the metadata is dependent.
