摘要:
A method and system for controlling the spin rate of an optical device. A device driver provides notification that media has been inserted into the optical device. A control service determines the format of information on the media. The spin rate of the optical device is locked or unlocked based on the format.

A computing system that incorporates an auxiliary processor to the main system processor. The auxiliary system utilizes a separate application runtime for processes and is capable of operating even when the primary system is in an off state. Methods for load-balancing are provided based on computing needs respective to power consumption requirements. Processes that are not computationally intensive are processed by a low-power, auxiliary processor. In addition, peripheral components accessible to the overall computing system are shared.

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing a computing system have a base unit and an expansion unit. The base unit has a fixed configuration and includes a CPU, a power supply, a removable media drive and expansion slots. The expansion unit has a power supply, removable media drive, and expansion slots. Additional components are added to the expansion unit in order to maintain stability in the base unit and the expansion unit is connected to the base unit by a high speed external connection. This configuration provides for an expansion path for the computing system that maintains overall stability of the base unit.

The present disclosure includes J-Gate adaptor assemblies for motorcycle clutch levers and related systems and methods. In one illustrative embodiment, a bracket on a side of a motorcycle serves as fulcrum for a lever rod mounted thereon via a heim joint. A lower end of the rod is attached to a clutch control cable. The rod extends upwardly, through a guide member with a guide channel formed as elongated slot extending in a first direction to a bend portion that extends in another direction to a “rest portion.” The rod may be levered in one direction in the guide channel to engage the clutch and in the opposite direction to disengage it. The rod may be held in the “rest” portion of the channel to retain the clutch in a disengaged position. Conversion kits and methods of converting and adapting motorcycles for using these types of assemblies are also included.
摘要:
Systems and methods for reducing the size of a power supply in a computing device by monitoring activities to maintain the load on the power supply below a predetermined threshold. Through a set of software drivers, various components are placed into low power states in order to reduce the load on the power supply. The methods allow manufacturers to utilize smaller power supplies that are better fitted for the actual operating conditions of the computing device, rather than a large power supply designed for worst case conditions.

The present invention provides an inspection system having a scanner system coupled to an operator console. The scanner system is preferably an x-ray based system that has an x-ray source to emit, for example, dual energy x-rays, a detector or an array of detectors that detect the emitted x-rays, and a conveyor system. The conveyor system has a conveyor belt that moves the article to be inspected through the emitted x-rays. The operator console includes a display device, an operator input device and a controller. The operator console is configured to provide information and control capabilities to an operator all within the same viewing field or arc. The operator console is configured to permit customization by individual operators and/or customization for a specific location where the inspection system is deployed (e.g., an airport or office building) without changing components. These features, as well as others, minimize operator fatigue, increase operator inspection speed and increase the efficiency of the inspection process. Further, this universal operator console configuration, enables the console to be interchangeable to various types of scanner systems produced by the assignee of the present invention as well as other manufacturers.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide a functionalized carbon matrix, compositions and composites including the same, and methods of making and using the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a functionalized carbon matrix having the structure CM-(NZ-L-FG)n. At each occurrence, Z is independently selected from H and a bond to CM. The variable CM is a substituted or unsubstituted carbon matrix. At each occurrence, linker L is independently substituted or unsubstituted. At each occurrence, variable FG is independently selected from a functional group. The degree of substitution n is about 1 to about 1,000,000.
摘要:
A method and system to incentify a user to participate in a survey providing accurate, reliable and complete answers with tools to a researcher to create a research project and research games. The research game is published online where users play the research game. The system measures in-game answers, selections, behaviors and outcomes. The system analyzes these in-game responses and reports the game behaviors and outcomes to the research client. Information regarding the research project, research game, the research client, the user, responses and reports are stored in one or more databases.
摘要:
A catheter assembly includes a catheter body having a catheter lumen. A manifold assembly is coupled with a proximal catheter portion. A manifold lumen extends through the manifold assembly, and the manifold lumen includes an assembly cavity extending around the proximal catheter portion. A fluid jet loop is coupled with a high pressure tube at a distal catheter portion. The catheter assembly further includes a composite guide having first and second guide portions. The first guide portion includes a proximal guide insert near the proximal catheter portion, the proximal guide insert is positioned within the assembly cavity, and includes a guide insert surface flush with a catheter body interior wall. The second guide portion includes a distal guide near the distal catheter portion including a tapered loop guide surface and an intermediate guide surface of the catheter lumen flushly engaged with a leading edge of the tapered loop guide surface.
