A system is disclosed for hydrogen generation based on hydrolysis of solid chemical hydrides with the capability of controlled startup and stop characteristics wherein regulation of acid concentration, acid feed rate, or a combination of both control the rate of hydrogen generation. The system comprises a first chamber for storing a solid chemical hydride and a second chamber for storing an acidic reagent. The solid chemical hydride is a solid metal borohydride having the general formula MBH4, where M is selected from the group consisting of alkali metal cations, alkaline earth metal cations, aluminum cation, zinc cation, and ammonium cation. The acidic reagent may comprise inorganic acids such as the mineral acids hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid, and organic acids such as acetic acid, formic acid, maleic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid, or mixtures thereof.

A plasma processing chamber and methods for operating the chamber are provided. An exemplary chamber includes an electrostatic chuck for receiving a substrate and a dielectric window connected to a top portion of the chamber. An inner side of dielectric window faces a plasma processing region that is above the electrostatic chuck and an outer side of the dielectric window is exterior to the plasma processing region. Inner and outer coils are disposed above the outer side of the dielectric window, and the inner and outer coils are connected to a first RF power source. A powered grid is disposed between the outer side of dielectric window and the inner and outer coils. The powered grid is connected to a second RF power source that is independent from the first RF power source.

A system is disclosed for media content search and retrieval, and a virtual television channel capable of using that system. The present system may be implemented on a computing device, such as for example a media service server, and a client device, such as for example a set top box for a television system, a mobile telephone, a personal digital assistant or a gaming console. A first aspect of the present system relates to a media download control engine which enables a client device with limited capabilities to play media content which comes from a website in a format not supported by the client device. A second aspect of the present system may make use of the media download control engine to obtain media content and create customized virtual channels. The second aspect in particular relates to a virtual channel engine that schedules a continuous stream of content for the user, which content is selected based on topics of interest to the user.

A Faraday shield and a plasma processing chamber incorporating the Faraday shield is are provided. The plasma chamber includes an electrostatic chuck for receiving a substrate, a dielectric window connected to a top portion of the chamber, the dielectric window disposed over the electrostatic chuck, and a Faraday shield. The Faraday shield is disposed inside of the chamber and defined between the electrostatic chuck and the dielectric window. The Faraday shield includes an inner zone having an inner radius range that includes a first and second plurality of slots and an outer zone having an outer radius range that includes a third plurality of slots. The inner zone is adjacent to the outer zone. The Faraday shield also includes a band ring separating the inner zone and the outer zone, such that the first and second plurality of slots do not connect with the third plurality of slots.

The present application allows two-way communication between a remote client and a mobile device, such as a mobile phone. User's can be informed of phone events in real time, regardless of their proximity to the mobile device. A two-way communication link allows a remote client to communicate back to the mobile device to leverage the capabilities of the mobile device. For example, a mobile device can be controlled remotely to send a text message. In this way, third parties receive a text message from the mobile device itself, even though it is not in the user's possession.

The present invention relates to novel thiazolidinedione derivatives expressed by the following formula (I) and the uses thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel thiazolidinedione derivatives expressed by the following formula (I) and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. The novel thiazolidinedione derivatives of formula (I) according to the present invention can be effectively used for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease and renal disease by inhibiting the activity of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) that decomposes prostaglandins as well as useful for the prevention of hair loss and the stimulation of hair growth, and osteogenic stimulation and wound healing.
摘要:
A multi-tone transceiver including: a channel controller and a plurality of components forming a transmit path and a receive path. The channel controller configured to determine bit-loading for each successive symbol or tone set based on a 1st noise margin target for a first subset of tones in each tone set dedicated to transport of a robust communications channel (RCC) and based on a 2nd noise margin target less than the 1st noise margin target for remaining tones in each tone set dedicated to a standard communications channel (SCC). The plurality of components forming the transmit and receive paths are responsive to the channel controller to select for data modulated on a given tone at least one of smaller constellations and higher gain scaling levels when the given tone corresponds to an RCC tone as compared to an SCC tone, whereby the first set of tones dedicated to the RCC exhibit greater immunity to noise variations than the remaining tones dedicated to the SCC.
