摘要:
A method generating a digital waveform, pulse generators and VNAs based thereon are disclosed. The digital waveform is generated in response to user-supplied parameters defining a sawtooth chirp signal. A digital baseband chirp signal that depends on the input parameters is first generated and then the digital baseband signal is upconverted to a center frequency to form an upconverted chirp signal. The upconverted chirp signal is then converted to an M-ary signal having M levels and then (optionally) filtered through a band pass filter to attenuate frequency components of the digital chirp signal outside a predetermined band of frequencies. The digital baseband chirp signal can also include the sum of first and second chirp signals having amplitudes and phase determined to reduce variations in amplitude as a function of frequency in a predetermined band of frequencies.

A Decentralized System Services (DSS) architecture defines a framework for building fault-tolerant distributed applications across decentralized and heterogeneous systems. DSS enables “complexity through composition” by defining distributed designs as compositions of limited function and observable services which may be quickly and dynamically assembled to perform higher level functions. DSS defines a standardized interaction between distributed services using sessionless, asynchronous communications with explicit failure semantics. Accounting for latency, failure and state management all become a natural part of the design process. DSS includes a runtime implementation for managing concurrent services—the Common Concurrency Runtime (CCR), a protocol for service interactions—the Web Services Application Protocol (WSAP), and a set of required service behaviors which provide for composibility, location independence, and fault tolerance—Distributed Protocol Oriented Programming (DPOP). DSS also includes a set of base level infrastructure services which make it easy to communicate, secure, distribute, debug, and store content across devices.

A real-time, interactive system and method of building a list of contact records, such as a mailing list, on a computer network based on selected criteria. A list specification is generated, which may include interactively specifying a geographically defined area for which a contact list is desired including receiving user input, and interactively selecting a product from a plurality of products and a threshold score for the product including receiving user input. The list specification may be transmitted over the computer network to a server where the contact list is built in real-time based on the list specification. If a set of characteristics of the contact list, such as number of records generated or cost, are approved by the user, the contact list is transmitted to a user-specified node on the computer network. The list specification may be stored in memory for reuse by a business, such as a chain of stores. This feature provides a way to easily regenerate new and updated contact lists at future dates for all or a subset of the stores by accessing updated source databases without having to re-specify the list every time a fresh list is required.

The fluorinated carboxylic acid or salt thereof is selected from the group consisting of (i) partially fluorinated carboxylic acids or salts thereof corresponding to the general formula: [PF1—O-L1-COO−]iXi+ (I) wherein PF1 represents a linear partially or fully fluorinated aliphatic group or a linear partially or fully fluorinated aliphatic group interrupted with one or more oxygen atoms, L1 represents a linear partially or fully fluorinated alkylene group or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group with the proviso that when PF1 is fully fluorinated, L1 is a linear partially fluorinated alkylene group or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, Xi+ represents a cation having the valence i and i is 1, 2 or 3; and (ii) fully fluorinated carboxylic acids or salts thereof corresponding to one of the following general formulas: [PF2—O—(CF2)p—COO−]iXi+ (II) wherein PF2 represents a linear fully fluorinated aliphatic group or a linear fully fluorinated aliphatic group interrupted with one or more oxygen atoms, p is an integer of 2 to 6 and Xi+ and i have the same meaning as in formula (I); or [PF3-(L2)f-O—CF2—COO−]iXi+ (III) wherein PF3 represents a linear fully fluorinated aliphatic group or a linear fully fluorinated aliphatic group interrupted with one or more oxygen atoms, L2 represents —O(CF2)x— wherein x is an integer of 1 or 3 to 6, —(O—CF2CF2)s— wherein s is 1, 2 or 3 or —(OCF2)u— wherein u is an integer of 1 to 6, f is 0 or 1 with the proviso that when f is 0, PF3 represents F(CF2)1— wherein 1 is 1, 2, 4, 5 or 6 and with the proviso that when f is 1 and L2 represents —(O—CF2CF2)s—, PF3 represents CF3 or CF3CF2 and Xi+ and i have the same meaning as in formula (I).
摘要:
Some representative embodiments are directed to systems and methods for randomizing data communicated across a digital interface. In some representative embodiments, a PN sequence is applied to a series of shift registers. An array of exclusive-or gates is provided to scramble each bit of the current data word using a respective output of one or several of the shift registers. In some embodiments, a second pseudo-noise sequence is additionally applied in parallel to another array of exclusive-or gates. Additional lines are provided to communicate the PN sequences from the transmitting side to the receiver side. Also, corresponding arrays of exclusive-or gates and shift-registers coupled to the PN sequence lines are disposed on the receiver side to recover the original data using the PN sequences.

A gas turbine engine component has an annular flange arm, a backing plate mounted to the flange arm and a bypass circuit formed between the flange arm and the backing plate. The bypass circuit includes one or more channels formed in one of the flange arm or the backing plate. When more than one channels are used, at least one connecting slot is provided between the channels. At least one inlet passage extends through the flange arm in fluid communication with the forward-most channel, and at least one outlet slot is formed between the flange arm and the backing plate in fluid communication with the aft-most channel.
