摘要:
Under one aspect, an elastically extensible cohesive article having first and second oppositely-facing major exterior surfaces includes a foam layer, and a cohesive composition coating at least a portion of each of the first and second major surfaces. The article may include a second layer, e.g., an elastic layer, an elastic fabric, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a non-woven fabric, or a second foam layer, juxtaposed with and secured to at least a portion of the foam layer. The foam layer may have a plurality of open cells that define at least a portion of one of the major exterior surfaces of the article. The open cells may act as “suction cups” that enhance the cohesive properties of the article, for example if the article is wrapped around a body part. The article may also include a pad that can be applied to a wound.

摘要:
A foam pad attached to a portion of an elastically expansible cohesive article, e.g., a tape or bandage, the pad is placed over a wound, sore, or ulcer, and the remainder of the cohesive tape or bandage is wrapped around the afflicted body part, and the tape or bandage compresses the pad against the wound. Preferably, the foam pad is hydrophilic foam, the oppositely facing surfaces of the tape or bandage to which the pad is attached are each coated with a cohesive composition, the pad has a thickness greater than about 0.1 inches and is sized and adapted to cover a wound on a body part, and the longer elastically expansible tape or bandage is sized to wrap several times around the body part. The product may be provided as a roll in which the cohesive coated surfaces contact and cohesively adhere to each other, and may be in sterile condition in a sealed package. If intended for a single use, the product may include only a single pad.
摘要:
A shoring box having frame supports coupled to lateral spreader bars. The shoring box is configured to accept exterior panels in a manner capable of providing vertical translation about an exterior surface of the shoring box. The shoring box is further configured to accept a plurality of interior panels in a manner capable of providing customizable shoring above and below utility lines, pipes, duct banks, and the like. In this regard, the shoring box is adapted to shore around one or more obstructions within an excavation, trench, or hole.

Systems and methods for wireless systems provide a mechanism for resource sharing. In an embodiment, an electronic communication is routed between mobile wireless clients without first processing the electronic communication through an external domain. In an embodiment, an e-mail message is routed between mobile wireless clients without first processing the e-mail message through an external e-mail domain identified in the e-mail message. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
摘要:
Disclosed are various embodiments of methods and devices for operating a processor or host controller in a mutual capacitance sensing device. Methods and devices for sorting motion reports provided to a host controller or other processor in a mutual capacitance sensing device, reporting touch points to a host controller or other processor in a mutual capacitance sensing device, improving noise robustness and navigation performance in a mutual capacitance sensing device, determining a touch area of a user's finger on a touch panel or touchpad of a mutual capacitance sensing device, and avoiding false wakeups and minimizing power consumption in a mutual capacitance sensing device having a touch panel or touchpad are described.
摘要:
Several different methods of testing the integrity and proper operation of the drive and sense electrodes in a mutual capacitance sensing device such as a touchscreen or touchpad are disclosed herein. According to one embodiment, measured values of mutual capacitance corresponding to individual cells in a mutual capacitance sensing device are compared to one another and to predetermined thresholds. The results of the comparison are employed to determine whether any of the traces forming the electrodes in the device are defective. By way of example, traces can be defective if they are broken, too thin, too thick, or shorted together. The various embodiments of the methods disclosed herein may be used for touchscreen or touchpad quality control in a manufacturing setting, or may be used to test touchscreens or touchpads that have already been incorporated into electronic devices. The various methods disclosed herein lower manufacturing costs, increase product quality and yield, and may be carried out quickly.
