摘要:
A molecular species is covalently attached to elemental carbon by exposing the carbon to a reaction mixture containing a strong base and a compound of the formula (I) or (II) in which X denotes a covalently attached atom or group capable of forming an X− anion and each Z is a moiety comprising a plurality of atoms, but which does not have a hydrogen atom directly attached to the atom which itself is directly attached to the —CH2X or —CHX group. The carbon substrate may be graphite or carbon nanotubes.

Interactive geographic information systems (GIS) and techniques are disclosed that provide users with a greater degree of flexibility, utility, and information. A markup language is provided that facilitates communication between servers and clients of the interactive GIS, which enables a number of GIS features, such as network links (time-based and/or view-dependent dynamic data layers), ground overlays, screen overlays, placemarks, 3D models, and stylized GIS elements, such as geometry, icons, description balloons, polygons, and labels in the viewer by which the user sees the target area. Also, “virtual tours” of user-defined paths in the context of distributed geospatial visualization is enabled. Streaming and interactive visualization of filled polygon data are also enabled thereby allowing buildings and other such features to be provided in 3D. Also, techniques for enabling ambiguous search requests in a GIS are provided.

The persistent binding of STP SAS addresses to SATA devices is disclosed so that SATA devices can be moved to different insertion points (ports) within a SAS expander and still properly receive I/O requests. When a SATA device is inserted into the SAS expander, it is interrogated to obtain information about the attached device. This information may be combined using a hashing function to obtain a unique ID for the SATA device. A table can be used to assign a STP SAS address to the Phy connected to the device based in the unique ID. In this manner, the same STP SAS address will be assigned to the Phy connected to a particular SATA device, regardless of where the device is connected to the SAS expander.
摘要:
When a new device is attached to a SAS expander, malfunctioning devices can cause many BCNs to be generated, which in turn can cause excessive re-discovery processes to be performed by initiators in a storage network. Therefore, the isolation of devices from the storage network until they can be validated as healthy is disclosed. Any device malfunctions during this time of isolation do not cause BCNs to be generated and do not cause re-discovery processes to be performed. Once the device is validated (via a port-test-before-insertion approach) and found to be healthy, the fabric is notified via a BCN, and the device can be made visible to the network.
摘要:
Catalytic hydrogenation of a double bond, notably a C═C or C═N double bond, is carried out using a homogenous catalyst which is a complex of rhodium or other transition metal containing at least one ligand which is a nitrogenous organic base. Preferably the complex is phosphorus-free and the ligand is a bicyclic base having formula where R1 and R4 are hydrocarbon chains. R1 preferably is a saturated chain of two carbon atoms and R4 preferably is a saturated chain of three to five carbon atoms.
摘要:
Enabling virtualization in a SAS expander is disclosed. For each SAS address to be virtualized through one or more physical or virtual Phy, a reference Phy associated with each SAS address is created within the expander. Next, a route table is generated that includes an entry for each of the SAS addresses being virtualized, each entry associated with one or more of the physical or virtual Phy through which the SAS address is being virtualized. With the route table so established, requests for a virtualized SAS address are routed to a particular one of the one or more physical or virtual Phy associated with the virtualized SAS address in the route table.

An electrical stimulation system is provided for electrically stimulating target nerve tissue in a person's brain using a stimulation lead having a tip electrode, having at least five electrodes, or both. The system includes a stimulation lead adapted for implantation into the brain for electrical stimulation of target nerve tissue in the brain. The stimulation lead may include a tip electrode located at a distal tip of the stimulation lead and adapted to be positioned proximate the target nerve tissue in the brain and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain. The stimulation lead may include at least five electrodes, one or more of which are adapted to be positioned proximate the target nerve tissue in the brain and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain. The system also includes a stimulation source operable to generate the electrical stimulation pulses for transmission to the one or more electrodes, possibly including a tip electrode, of the stimulation lead to cause the one or more electrodes to deliver the electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain.
摘要:
A method of monitoring gas in a downhole environment is discussed which provides downhole a mid-infrared light emitting diode, operates the diode to transmit respective infrared signals on a first optical path extending from the diode through a downhole gas sample and a second optical path extending from the diode through a reference gas sample, detects the transmitted infrared signals, and determines the concentration of a component of the downhole gas sample from the detected signals.
