    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to monitor on-die device power grid. A sensor circuit generates a ground reference (GR) signal and N power reference (PR) signals forming a ladder according to a programmable configuration. The GR signal tracks a device ground signal of a device and the PR signals track a device power signal of the device. A comparator circuit compares the GR signal with the N PR signals to provide N comparison output signals, the N comparison output signals indicating position and time that the GR reference signal moves across the ladder.

    Abstract: The present invention includes a temperature-dependent power window and sunroof system for an automotive vehicle. This system according to the present invention is activated when the vehicle is presumably parked and left unattended by a vehicle operator. One aspect of the invention is directed to the detection of actions by the vehicle operator as input for system activation and deactivation, for example, the operator removes the ignition key, opens the driver door, closes the driver door and locks the door. Advantageously, if the vehicle operator stays in the vehicle after the key is removed from the ignition cylinder, the present invention remains inactivated whereby affording the maximum flexibility to the car driver. One preferred embodiment maintains a “comfortable” temperature range for the interior of the vehicle over the time period the vehicle is parked and left unattended. Moreover, to actively maintain the “comfortable” temperature range for the vehicle interior, a separate algorithm may be used. Another aspect of the invention includes means of communications to alert the vehicle operator and others in case of exceedingly high or low temperatures in the vehicle interior that might be life-threatening to those toddlers, pets or other incapacitated living beings who are left unattended in the vehicle.

    Abstract: Our invention has to do with an electrical light fixture for brightening the usually dimmer portion of a drawer storage area. Also, this electrical light fixture is small enough to be attached to an inside surface of a desk. When attached, it is preferably located immediately above the storage area of a desk drawer. This invention does not take away the drawer space available for storage. Also, this electrical light fixture uses battery power for providing automatic lighting turn-on when the drawer is opened and for providing automatic turn-off when the drawer is closed. Alternatively, the automatic turn-off occurs after a pre-determined amount of time. This light fixture is especially convenient for those people who have vision difficulties either because of an illness, a surgical operation or just because of age such as being young children or elderly people.

    Abstract: The present invention provides novel serum-free cell culture medium and methods for cultivating MDCK cells. In particular, non-tumorigenic MDCK cells. The present invention also provides methods for producing influenza viruses (e.g., particularly cold-adapted, and/or temperature sensitive, and/or attenuated influenza viruses) that eliminate the need for a cell culture medium exchange step. The novel medium and methods are useful to grow influenza viruses, in cell culture to high titer. The present invention further provides purification methods for purifying influenza viruses with high overall recovery of live virus and result in levels of host cell DNA (HCD), host cell protein (HCP) and non-specific endonuclease (e.g., Benzonase), which are below the specifications required by regulatory agencies. The immunogenic compositions can be used to actively immunize subjects or to generate antibodies for a variety of uses, including passive immunization and diagnostic immunoassays.

    Abstract: Method for reconstructing a local region (20) of a physical property model (10), such as a velocity model, by inversion (80) of geophysical data, such as seismic data, wherein the magnitude of the gradient of the model parameter is minimized (70) within the local region subject to enforcing the continuity of the model on the boundary (60) of the local region. The inversion is preferably implemented on 2D depth slices of the model, one depth slice at a time (50). To improve computer efficiency in extracting the depth slices, the three-dimensional model may first be remapped from its original orientation to one in which the depth dimension is the slowest accessed by the computer in reading the data (30).
