摘要:
A new user interface, a distance user interface, in a computer system for operating a computer from a television-viewing distance is provided. A centralized display is provided enabling a user to access streaming video and sound as well as music files, video files, and picture files from a single screen. Collaborative sharing of media content is provided by enabling a computer's operations and feedback to be collectively observed from a distance.
摘要:
A method of requesting a plurality of different characteristic indicators from a second communication apparatus (MS) in a wireless communication network comprising a first communication apparatus (BS) and a plurality of such second communication apparatuses (MS) which communicate with the first communication apparatus using a shared communication frame, the method comprising; the first communication apparatus (BS) transmitting (110) a single standing instruction to the second communication apparatus (MS) to interchange between sending the different characteristic indicators in a feedback window allocated to the second communication apparatus in the shared communication frame.
摘要:
A wireless camera system is described. A housing enclosure contains the wireless camera, and the wireless camera collects video data. The housing enclosure also contains a first circuit board and a rechargeable battery. A first solar cell assembly is coupled to the housing enclosure. The first circuit board is in wireless communication with a base station, and the base station is configured to receive the video data. The camera operates a continuous feed of the video data. The video data is at least partially processed in a location away from the housing enclosure and made available to a remote client for viewing.
摘要:
A rotational apparatus with one or more passive magnetic bearing(s) is described. The rotational apparatus includes a rotor with a tapered magnetic ring and a stator with a tapered array of shorted conducting circuits. A repulsive force between the tapered magnetic ring and the tapered array of shorted conducting circuits acts a passive magnetic bearing that centers the rotor radially in a stator cavity and that repels the rotor axially away from an end of the stator cavity.
摘要:
The detection of devices with duplicate media access controller (MAC) addresses in a cable network may be accomplished by reference to a value indicative of a DOCSIS version supported by the device or by reference to a having a MAC address/giaddr pair. Where a version value is used, the detection of devices having duplicate MAC addresses looks for changes in the reported version value from a higher version to a lower version. Where MAC address/giaddr pairs are used, a centralized storage of historical cable modem MAC address/giaddr pair data is used to identify cable modems (CM's) that report duplicate MAC addresses. If duplication is detected, an appropriate remedial response is taken.
摘要:
The present invention discloses methods and magnetic material composites capable of withstanding one or more loads without the need for a substructure to provide structural support thereto. The magnetic composites are formable from composites such as epoxies, resins, plastics and the like together with rare earth or other magnetic or magnetizable compounds, or magnetic nano-particles to form structural magnetic composites. The magnetic composites have one or more portions with an aggregation of the magnetic material and one or more portions free of or substantially free of the magnetic material. The magnetic composites are suitable for use to form components of electrical motors, generators, pumps, fans, paints, coatings and parts or derivatives thereof.
摘要:
Apparatus for illuminating a zone of mammalian skin which comprises one or more light emitters (3). An applicator such as a suction cup (5) or an adhesive patch can be moved to direct light to the skin and a controller can be used to control the duration and/or intensity of light delivered without significant ablation of the skin. The apparatus is used in method for cosmetically improving the appearance of skin.
摘要:
Methods for significantly lowering the carbon-14 content of DNA and histones in vertebrates, especially humans, to about 10% to about 98% below normal background levels and thereby reduce chromosomal damage using dietary supplements based on low radiocarbon nucleotides, amino acids, and other DNA and histone precursors. Administration of the supplements during the earliest and/or most active growth staves of life is particularly beneficial. Components of the low radiocarbon supplements can be produced using the waste carbon dioxide effluent from industrial combustion processes, generally considered a greenhouse gas pollutant. Carbon dating methods can be used to monitor the improvements achieved by the methods and compositions of the invention.
摘要:
New and used parts of gas and steam turbine engines are protected by imparting a controlled residual compressive stress to given portions of the part and then coated by a CVD or PVD process at low temperatures with layers of TiN or alloys thereof at alternate selective hard and less hardened levels. The protective treatment is particularly efficacious for airfoils of compressor blades/vanes of gas turbine engines and airfoils of airfoils and certain components of steam turbine engines. This method is targeted to reduce erosion, corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking in these parts.
