Abstract:
A system (10) for determining a stylus position (12) of a stylus (20) includes a telemetric imager (30) and a controller (40) electrically coupled to the telemetric imager. The controller determines the stylus position based on a generated image of a stylus tip (18) from a first direction and a generated image of the stylus tip from a second direction when the stylus tip is in a stylus entry region (50). A method and a system for determining a stylus position are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Method, apparatus and system embodiments to assign priority to a thread when the thread is otherwise unable to proceed with instruction retirement. For at least one embodiment, the thread is one of a plurality of active threads in a multiprocessor system that includes memory livelock breaker logic and/or starvation avoidance logic. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for filtering a gas or liquid stream such as a natural gas stream. The apparatus includes a closed vessel (13) having a longitudinally extending length, an initially open interior (17), an input port (45) at one extent and an output port (43) at an opposite extent thereof. A partition (29) located within the vessel interior divides the vessel interior into a first stage (35) and a second stage (33). At least one opening (41) is provided in the partition. A filter element (27) is disposed within the vessel to extend from within the first stage (35). The filter element (27) is easily mounted or removed from the vessel (13) by rotating a J-slot engagement surface on the element (27) which mates with a mounting structure provided in the vessel interior (17).
Abstract:
Methods and spectra for monitoring fetal growth and predicting birth weight of an infant prior to birth are provided wherein one or more selected biological markers are measured in a sample of amniotic fluid obtained from a pregnant woman. Levels of the selected biochemical markers and/or spectra correlate with one or more medical conditions, such as fetal growth and birth weight of the infant, and gestational diabetes. A measurement probe for in situ measurement can be used safely and repeatedly. Monitoring and/or treatment of maternal and fetal health is also provided.
Abstract:
Sterilization methods and apparatus are effective to achieve a 6-log reduction in CFUs of industry standard bacteria and bacterial spores, i.e., B. stearothermophilus and B. subtilis spores, by subjecting sterilizable materials to a chemical additive-containing carbon dioxide sterilant fluid at or near its supercritical pressure and temperature conditions. Most preferably, the chemical additive-containing supercritical carbon dioxide sterilant fluid is agitated during sterilization, e.g.., via mechanical agitation or via pressure cycling.

Abstract:
A system may include an electronic device that includes an enclosure having a transparent cover. The electronic device may also include a display positioned below the transparent cover and configured to display a first graphical user interface and a second graphical user interface different from the first graphical user interface, and a touch sensor positioned below the transparent cover and configured to detect touch inputs applied to the transparent cover. The system may also include a protective case that includes a shell defining a cavity and configured to at least partially cover the enclosure of the electronic device when the electronic device is positioned in the cavity, and a near-field wireless communication antenna coupled to the shell and detectable by the electronic device. In response to detecting the near-field wireless communication antenna, the electronic device may be configured to switch from the first graphical user interface to the second graphical user interface.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to salts and crystalline forms of 2-(3-(8-Amino-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-yl)-4-methylphenyl)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanamide, crystalline forms of 8-amino-N-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-3-(2-methyl-5-(1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine-6-carboxamide, and crystalline forms of 8-amino-N-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-3-(2-(methyl-d3)-5-(1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine-6-carboxamide, which are PI3K inhibitors useful in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for glass packaging of integrated circuit (IC) and electromechanical systems (EMS) devices. In one aspect, a glass package may include a glass substrate, a cover glass, one or more devices encapsulated between the glass substrate and the cover glass, and bond pads configured to attach to a flexible connector and in electrical communication with an encapsulated device. In some implementations, a flexible connector may be used to electrically connect a device within the glass package to an electrical component, such as an integrated circuit (IC) device or PCB, outside the glass package.
