摘要:
According to one general aspect, a method of regulating the system resource consumption of an apparatus may include monitoring one or more system resources of the apparatus. The method may also include receiving a request to display, via the apparatus, a requested multi-element document. The method may include retrieving by the apparatus, at least in part, the requested multi-element document. The method may include dynamically editing the requested multi-element document based, at least in part, upon the monitored system resources. The method may also include displaying the dynamically edited multi-element document.
摘要:
A reduced ground spring probe array and a method for controlling the impedance of the signal spring probes in the reduced ground spring probe array. Signal spring probes are positioned in a row-column format across the surface of the spring probe tower. Ground spring probes are positioned in a row/alternating-column format across the surface of the spring probe tower such that one ground probe is positioned between two or more signal probes. In doing so, a void space exists for every other ground probe column such that one or more signal lines may be routed within the void space or the array may be compressed to establish a smaller overall spring probe tower footprint.

A method for wirelessly connecting a computer network to a destination device located at an unknown location in response to a request from a requesting device. The method of the present invention creates a more versatile wireless computer network by enabling devices within the computer network to efficiently wirelessly connect to mobile devices that are not connected to the computer network but are in range of at least one wireless access point. Therefore, the network can efficiently dynamically adjust to the movement of particular wireless devices throughout the network. Likewise, the method effectively increases the capabilities of the network by enabling devices within the network to efficiently connect with devices that are not actively communicating with the network. The method includes a series of searching routines which are performed at each access point to locate the destination device.

This invention relates to antimicrobial wound dressings having a non-leaching antimicrobial activity, releasable antimicrobial and antiprotease agents, and a controlled-release bioactive agent such as doxycycline. The Wound dressing material is absorbent and acts as a substrate for antimicrobial and antiprotease agents as well as bioactive agents. More generally, this invention relates to methods and compositions for materials having a non-leaching coating that has antimicrobial properties. The coating is applied to substrates such as gauze-type wound dressings, powders and other substrates. Covalent, non-leaching, non-hydrolyzable bonds are formed between the substrate and the polymer molecules that form the coating. A high concentration of anti-microbial groups on multi-length polymeric molecules and relatively long average chain lengths, contribute to an absorbent or superabsorbent surface with a high level antimicrobial efficacy. Utilization of non-leaching coatings having a plurality of anionic or cationic sites is used according to this invention to bind a plurality of oppositely charged biologically or chemically active compounds, and to release the bound oppositely charged biologically or chemically active compounds from said substrate over a period of time to achieve desired objectives as diverse as improved wound healing to reduction in body odor.

摘要:
A device for distributing waste heat from a heat source evenly across an exterior surface of an enclosure is disclosed. The device includes a first layer of material that has a high thermal conductivity along a first plane. One or more layers of material that include a controlled thermal conductivity along a second plane are connected with the first layer. At least one of those layers has a low thermal conductivity (e.g. a thermal insulating material) in the second plane and that layer is positioned between the heat source and the enclosure so that heat flow through that layer is substantially inhibited in the second plane and a majority of the waste heat is thermally transferred through the first layer along the first plane to the exterior surface where the waste heat is uniformly distributed thereby reducing hot spots on the exterior surface which can cause user discomfort.
