Abstract:
An embodiment of an electronic apparatus may include one or more substrates, and logic coupled to the one or more substrates, the logic to control local access to a persistent storage media and, in response to one or more commands, to determine an intermediate parity value based on a first local parity calculation, locally store the intermediate parity value, and determine a final parity value based on the intermediate parity value and a second local parity calculation. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for efficient expression of breast milk is provided. The device comprises a horn having a funnel for receiving a breast and a tube extending downwards from the funnel and removably connected to a first end of a main body. The main body has a stem extending downwards from a second end. The horn portion of the device can vary in size depending on the user need to accommodate varying sizes. A flexible cylindrical diaphragm and a valve is provided and are configured to engage and create a sealing between the lower portion of the main body and a container for receiving the breast milk. The use of the cylindrical diaphragm creates minor stress points along the surface of the diaphragm, thereby making it difficult to tear or damage during repeated operation and cleaning. The device further comprises a cap having a port in communication with a pressure source and configured to engage with a container for receiving breast milk, the container further configured to removably connect with the lower second end of the main body. During the milking operation, a negative pressure from the pressure source is communicated through the port to the device in order to create a suction on the funnel for extracting the milk from the breast. In response to the negative pressure, the diaphragm moves from a first state to a second distended state and the valve circumferentially engages and seals around the stem of the main body to provide an airtight seal during the milking operation. Once the negative pressure is released the diaphragm returns back to the first state allowing the milk to freely flow from the horn, through the main body and into the container.
Abstract:
A tissue harvesting device (1), comprising a rotary cutting tool (10) adapted to cut soft tissue and a collection container (20) including a central bore (21) extending in a longitudinal direction and with a distal opening (22), wherein the cutting tool is arranged in the central bore of the collection container and adapted to pass through the distal opening and draw harvested soft tissue fragments into the collection container, and a housing (30) accommodating the cutting tool and the collection container, wherein the collection container is axially movable with respect to the housing.
Abstract:
A lighting apparatus includes a string with a plurality of serially-connected light emitting device sets, each set comprising at least one light emitting device. The apparatus further includes at least one controllable bypass circuit configured to variably bypass current around at least one light emitting device of a set of the plurality of light emitting device sets responsive to a control input. The control input may include, for example, a temperature input, a string current sense input and/or an adjustment input. The control input may be varied, for example, to adjust a color point of the string.
Abstract:
In various embodiment, a primary particle includes a primary matrix material containing a population of semiconductor nanoparticles, with each primary particle further comprising an additive to enhance the physical, chemical and/or photo-stability of the semiconductor nanoparticles. A method of preparing such particles is described. Composite materials and light-emitting devices incorporating such primary particles are also described.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method for dynamically selecting an authentication virtual server from a plurality of authentication virtual servers. A traffic management virtual server may determine from a request received from a client to access content of a server that the client has not been authenticated. The traffic management virtual server can identify a policy for selecting an authentication virtual server to provide authentication of the client. Responsive to the identification, the traffic management virtual server can select, via the policy, an authentication virtual server of the plurality of authentication virtual servers to authenticate the client. Responsive to the request, the traffic management virtual server may transmit a response to the client The response includes an instruction to redirect to the selected authentication virtual server.
Abstract:
A continuous film of desired electrical characteristics is obtained by successively printing and annealing two or more dispersions of prefabricated nanoparticles.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, the present invention provides a light emitting device cap configured for location on a light emitting device comprising or consisting essentially of a primary light source. The cap defines a well region within which is received a population of semiconductor nanoparticles such that the semiconductor nanoparticles are in optical communication with the primary light source of the light emitting device when the cap is located on the light emitting device. There is further provided a light emitting device comprising or consisting essentially of a primary light source and such a cap, as well as methods for fabricating such a cap and device.
Abstract:
