Abstract:
An audio processing system includes an audio input apparatus, a frequency selecting unit, and an audio output apparatus. The audio input apparatus is used for receiving audio waves, and converting the audio waves to electric signals. The frequency selecting unit is used for filtering the electric signals, and generating filtered electric signals, the frequency selecting unit having adjustable passing-range. The audio output apparatus is used for converting the filtered electric signals into audible sound. An audio processing method for filtering inputted signals in a predetermined passing-range is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of a polymeric phenol sulfide, which can be a polymeric alkyl phenol sulfide, such as one containing an alkyl group containing from one to about four carbon atoms in the alkyl group contained therein of the following formula, where R is the alkyl group,: where R is alkyl, m is from 1 to 3, n ranges from about 2 to about 10, and x ranges from 1 to about 4.
Abstract:
Blends can be formed which comprise a flexible coil polymer substrate, e.g., of a poly(alkylene terephthalate), and a thermotropic, essentially liquid crystalline oligomer which comprises aromatic units and at least one linear polyalkylene spacer. These blends can be used to form fibers or molded articles.
Abstract:
A substrate is modified by exposing the substrate to a densified fluid. The substrate may be a polymer or a metal alloy, and the densified fluid may be carbon dioxide. Uses of such substrate modification include impregnation of the substrate with one or more drugs, impregnation of microcellular particles, surface modification of the substrate, and formation of microcellular compositions.

Abstract:
A passive radio frequency identification (RFID) chip with a protection function against high-intensity electromagnetic fields includes an antenna for receiving electromagnetic waves generated by an RFID reader and generating AC electrical signals to output to a power unit at an output of the antenna; an input/output circuit; a logic circuit; the power unit for rectifying the AC electrical signals into DC (direct current) voltage and outputting the DC voltage to the logic circuit and the input/output circuit at an output of the power unit; a variable-capacitance diode including an anode connected with the output of the antenna and a cathode connected to ground; and a diode including an anode connected with the output of the power unit and a cathode connected with the output of the antenna. The passive RFID chip prevents the inner logic circuit and the input/output circuit from being damaged when receives high-intensity electromagnetic waves.
Abstract:
A portable device with an automatic power off protection and a method of achieving such a protection are related. The portable device circuit comprises a switch unit, a main body, and a battery. The main body includes an acceleration transducer that samples an analog acceleration signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that converts the sampled analog acceleration signal into a digital acceleration value; a memory that stores a critical acceleration value and an interrupt flag; and a micro-control unit (MCU) that compares the digital acceleration values with the critical acceleration value and the comparing result which may or may not change the value of the interrupt flag. When the acceleration of the portable device is greater than the critical acceleration and the interrupt flag is enable, the MCU sends a break signal to the switch unit to power off the portable device.
