Abstract:
A flat fluorescent lamp is provided. Wherein, a discharge gas is disposed in a chamber, and a fluorescent material is disposed on a first inner wall and a second inner wall of the chamber. First electrode sets are disposed on the first inner wall, and second electrode sets aligned with the first electrodes sets are disposed on the second inner wall. A dielectric layer overlies the electrode sets. Each first electrode set comprises two first electrodes and a second electrode disposed between these first electrodes. Each second electrode set comprises two third electrodes and a fourth electrode disposed between these third electrodes. A first light-emitting area and a second light-emitting area are formed in each pair of the corresponding first and second electrode sets, and the projections of the first and second light-emitting areas on the first inner wall are not overlaid or just partially overlaid.
Abstract:
An inverted-F antenna comprises a microwave plate, a dielectric substrate, a radiating metal sheet, a ground surface, a shorting metal strip, and a feeding metal strip. The radiating metal sheet comprises a connecting metal sheet, first, second, and third child radiating metal sheets, a matching metal sheet, a slot, a shorting point, and a feeding point. The first child radiating metal sheet is for forming a low frequency operating mode. The second child radiating metal sheet is for forming a high frequency operating mode. The third child radiating metal sheet is for adjusting operating frequency and bandwidth of the second operating mode. The slot, the shorting point, and the feeding point are for adjusting impedance matching. The grounding surface is for increasing the operating bandwidth of the low frequency operating mode. The shorting metal sheet and the feeding metal sheet are for grounding the antenna and signal transmission.

Abstract:
A system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention provides Quality of Service (QoS) for Storage Access. Such QoS is partially enabled in one embodiment by the automatic pooling of storage devices and provisioning virtual targets from those pools. QoS is enforced in one embodiment by keeping the bandwidth for each connection within a specified range, and particularly, by controlling the number of allowed concurrent requests from an initiator. Load balancing is also provided in one embodiment, improving response times for requests, further easing the ability to provide QoS.
Abstract:
The present invention relate to an autoantigen screening method by combining immunoaffinity chromatography, disease-related cell lines, and mass spectrometry technology, which offers greater screening efficiency and speed than known technologies. The method for screening autoantigen by using autoantibodies in patient's body by utilizing the chromatographic column packed with autoantibodies, through the affinity between autoantibody and autoantigen, and the extract of disease-related cell lines or pathological tissues, whereby an autoantigen screening platform is established.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for expressing multiple recombinant proteins in transgenic non-human mammalian milk, characterized in which human clotting factor IX gene and porcine lactoferrin gene are transferred into the mammal by gene injection and embryonic implantation to obtain expression in the milk of transgenic mammal and its filial generation. The method of this invention can maintain the stable expression of multiple recombinant proteins in the transgenic mammal during lactation and stable expression amount proximate to that of the first generation in the offsprings of the transgenic non-human mammal.
Abstract:
A sun shield device for automobile includes a tubular central axle, a revolving sleeve which has a diameter larger than and a length shorter than that of the central axle being rotatably supported around the central axle, a shading sheet engaged on and wound around the revolving sleeve, an auto-rewinding device which is installed between the central axle and the revolving sleeve for driving the revolving sleeve to rotate so as to automatically rewind the shading sheet around the revolving sleeve, a supporting device including a pair of supporters extendably connected to two ends of the central axle respectively, and an adjusting device for adjusting the length of at least one of the supporters so as to adjust an overall length of the sun shield device until two supporting end members of the two supporters respectively firmly pressed against two interior side walls of a trunk of an automobile so as to horizontally support the sun shield device within the trunk. Whereby, the user may simply open the trunk cover and pull the shading sheet from the revolving sleeve out of the trunk through the gap formed between the opened trunk cover and trunk edge for at least covering the roof of the automobile.
Abstract:
A photocoupling signal detection circuit for a computer mouse to simplify the design of circuit by tracking the slope change of input voltage waveform and produce a digital output which can detect the movement of computer mouse is disclosed. This signal detection circuit includes a comparator, a state decision circuit, an up/down counter, and a D/A converter. The comparator produces an up/down signal connected to the state decision circuit, then the up/down signal connected to the up/down counter to transfer the up/down signal into a digital signal output. The digital signal connected to a D/A converter for transferring into an analog signal, and the analog signal can be compared with the output signal of an phototransistor. According to the state of up/down signal, the state decision circuit determines if the phototransistor is turned on or turned off and outputs different state signals, based on its determination. The output state signal is further utilized for the detection of a computer mouse.
Abstract:
A circuit and a method for generating modified reference voltages are provided. The reference voltages are modified dependent upon the level of electrical signals received. A series of electrical signals is provided to a reference voltage adjuster. The reference voltage adjuster stores a signal representing either a previous maximum or minimum signal value, and also stores a signal representing a present signal from the series of electrical signals. The reference voltage adjuster then determines the existence of a new maximum or minimum signal value. Upon the determination of the existence of a new maximum or minimum signal value, the average of the new maximum or minimum signal and the previous maximum or minimum signal value is determined. The signal representing the average of the new maximum or minimum signal and the previous maximum or minimum signal value is then provided to a comparator as the new reference voltage.
