摘要:
An efficient parallel event simulation method is implemented by simulating blocks of M edge events, where M is approximately equal to e logeN, and N being the number of interconnected processing elements. Following a simulation iteration, each processing element shares information with adjacent processing elements that relates to events that the processing elements simulated which may affect the simulation of events at the neighbor processing elements. When the communication reveals that the information that is shared by a neighbor processing elements is different from the information that the processing element assumed, then the arriving information is kept and the simulation process is repeated. In executing the repeated simulations of a block, the same random variable values are employed. When all of the processing elements find that the arriving shared information is the same as the information already known to the receiving processing element, simulation of the block ends. A new simulation floor is ascertained, and another block of event is simulated.

In one embodiment, the gaming device and method disclosed herein provides a player one or more modifiers to apply to different components or characteristics of a game. In one such embodiment, the gaming device enables a player to selectively apply or associate a plurality of modifiers to a single game component or apply the plurality of modifiers across the plurality of game components. For each game component with at least one applied modifier, the gaming device disclosed herein modifies said game component based on each applied modifier. The gaming device generates any awards based on any modified game components and any unmodified game components and provides any generated awards to the player.

In accordance with the invention, there is provided a tapered slot coupler combined with a loudspeaker for providing a high degree of uniform angular sound distribution in the horizontal plane, and a sharp cut-off above the horizontal plane through the coupler-speaker combination. It also sends a greater amount of sound energy to the furthest point of the domain and diminishing energy in direction to the interior of the domain as one comes closer and closer to the sound source. A sound reproduction system cooperating with the coupler-speaker combination has a receiving domain for receiving the sound, a perimeter defining the domain, and a plurality of tapered slot high and medium frequency coupler-speakers disposed proximal to the perimeter facing the domain, and a plurality of low frequency loudspeakers also disposed along the perimeter facing the domain, wherein the high/medium frequency loudspeakers are of the tapered slot coupler-speaker combination type. The invention includes sound-energy generating apparatus operative for feeding sound energy to the speakers.

摘要:
The use of diluent to reduce non-specific drug binding (NSB) provides a simple, flexible and biocompatible way to reduce chemical entity (such as drugs, drug candidates and other small molecules) NSB so that bioassay results may more closely predict the behavior of these compounds in vitro. Additionally, the use of diluent as the chemical entity diluent enhances the predictive nature of data emanating from high throughput drug assays such as Caco-2 drug transport assays, plasma protein drug binding assays, PAMPA assays, permeability assays, and drug solubility assays. The diluent is made by either filtering a selected plasma through an ultrafiltration membrane having nominal molecular weight cutoff of about 30 kD, preferably about 10 kD or below or by selectively adding individual components of a plasma or serum that do not contribute to non-specific binding.

摘要:
An electro-mechanical actuator includes a comb drive and a deformable connector. The comb drive has a first capacitor plate and a second capacitor plate. The capacitor plates have teeth capable of inter-digitating. The deformable connector is configured to apply a mechanical restoring force to the first capacitor plate. The deformable connector is configured to restore the first capacitor plate to be at an equilibrium rest position in response to no control voltage being applied across the capacitor. The comb drive is more engaged at the equilibrium rest position than at a mechanical stability threshold of the comb drive. The capacitor plates are disengaged at the equilibrium rest position.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing, illustratively, voice data over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Internet Protocol (IP) or other communications network where the voice data is preferentially encoded at a high fidelity level, formed into transport cells or packets, and multiplexed onto a communications channel with, optionally, data traffic. In response to network congestion or buffer over utilization, the voice data is encoded at a medium or low fidelity level to reduce the amount of encoded data necessary to represent the voice data.
