A technique for end-to-end admission control of real-time packet flows is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for end-to-end admission control of real-time packet flows in a network having a plurality of network elements. The method may comprise transmitting at least one probe packet from a first network element to a second network element via a network path, determining, at at least one intermediate network element on the network path, at least one flow rate associated with a plurality of packets, marking at least one predetermined bit in the at least one probe packet if the at least one flow rate is greater than a predetermined rate, and controlling an admission of additional packets into the network based at least in part on the marking of the at least one predetermined bit in the at least one probe packet.

Methods and systems for testing an integrated circuit during an assembly process are described. The integrated circuit is received from inventory. The integrated circuit is placed in a socket on a first circuit board for system-level testing. The system-level testing is performed prior to placement and permanent attachment of the integrated circuit onto a second circuit board. Provided the integrated circuit passes the system-level testing, the placement and permanent attachment of the integrated circuit to the second circuit board is the next step following the system-level testing in the assembly process.

A method and system for controlling downshifting in an automated mechanical transmission system (10) utilized on a vehicle. When an automatic power downshift from a currently engaged ratio (GR) is required, the engine acceleration (EA) is monitored and compared with an engine free acceleration (EFA) to detect a false Neutral condition and to take appropriate action accordingly. Alternatively, a false Neutral condition is detected when the Absolute Value of the rotational speed of the output shaft (OS) times the currently engaged gear ratio (GR) minus the rotational speed of the input shaft (IS) is less than a predetermined value (ABS((OS*GR)−IS)).

摘要:
The present invention relates to a high-throughput diagnostic assay for the virus causing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in humans (“hSARS virus”). In particular, the invention relates to a high-throughput reverse transcription-PCR diagnostic test for SARS associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The present assay is a rapid, reliable assay which can be used for diagnosis and monitoring the spread of SARS and is based on the nucleotide sequences of the N (nucleocapsid)-gene of the hSARS virus. The present method eliminates false negative results and provides increased sensitivity for the assay. The invention also discloses the S (spike)-gene of the hSARS virus. The invention further relates to the deduced amino acid sequences of the N-gene and S-gene products of the hSARS virus and to the use of the N-gene and S-gene products in diagnostic methods. The invention further encompasses diagnostic assays and kits comprising antibodies generated against the N-gene or S-gene product.

The present invention provides the complete genomic sequence of a novel human coronavirus, coined as human coronavirus-HKU1 (“HCoV-HKU1”), isolated in Hong Kong. The virus belongs to the order Nidovirales of the family Coronaviridae, being a single-stranded RNA virus of positive polarity. Futher study on nasopharyngeal aspirates from patients with community-acquired pnbeumonia has revealed that there are two genotypes, genotype A and genotype B, for this virus. In addition to the genomic sequences of these two genotypes, the invention provides the deduced amino acid sequences of the complete genome of the CoV-HKU1. The nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid sequences of the HCoV-HKU1 are useful in preventing, diagnosing and/or treating the infection by HCoV-HKU1. Furthermore, the invention provides immunogenic and vaccine preparations using recombinant and chimeric forms as well as subunits of the HCoV-HKU1 based on the nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid sequences of the HCoV-HKU1.

A brushing attachment for an electric toothbrush includes an elongate neck, a head at an end of the neck, a tuft block located at the head and having bristles parallel to an axis extending in a direction substantially normal to the neck. The tuft block is mounted to the head so as to be movable linearly along the axis and pivotally about the axis. There is a recess in the tuft block facing toward the neck. A driveshaft extends through the neck and has and angularly offset arm received within the recess to effect movement of the tuft block.
