Abstract: A body armor plate is configured to provide ballistics protection to a wearer of the plate.  For example, the plate may be configured to protect the upper torso of the wearer from high-speed, ballis-tic projectiles like bullets, shrapnel, and/or other pro-jectiles. In some implementations, the plate may in-clude one or more electronic modules formed inte-grally therewith. Formation of the electronic modules integrally with the plate may enhance the functionali-ty of the plate, may enhance the convenience (e.g., the form factor, the weight, the portability, etc.) of the electronics modules, robustness of the electronics modules, and/or other aspects of the electronics mod-ules. The combination of the plate and the electronics modules may specifically provide various enhance-ments to, for example, military or law enforcement personnel that rely on the plate for ballistics protec-tion.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for quantifying contributions of gas mixtures in a reservoir compartment by way of isotopic analyses. Differing thermal maturities of the different gas mixtures allow estimation of the relative quantity of each gas mixture present in a total gas mixture. Thermal maturities may be estimated by reference to isotopic analyses of each contributing gas mixture and a commingled gas mixture resulting from commingling each of the individual source gas mixtures. This method may be carried out at various depths to determine relative contributions of each gas mixture to the total gas mixture as a function of wellbore depth. Advantages of certain embodiments include, but are not limited to, higher accuracies and ease of application as compared to conventional methods.

Abstract: In general, multiple embodiments of a catheter/fistula needle to bloodline connection assurance device (20), which secures and strengthens a connection between an extension tube end of a catheter (2) or fistula needle and a bloodline are provided. A first embodiment of the assurance device is configured to be compatible with any industrial catheter/fistula needle female luer connector and is specifically configured for use with a bloodline connector (8) having locking clips (14) which are biased slightly outwardly from the bloodline connector. The first embodiment of the assurance device is cylindrical and includes clamshell halves (22a, 22b) that open rotatably about at least one hinge (24a, 24b). The first embodiment of the assurance device includes an upper, threaded portion and a lower housing portion. The interior wall of the upper portion defines a plurality of barbs (36) configured to engage with distal or movable ends of the locking claps.  Each locking clip is biased slightly outwardly to enable the distal or movable end of the locking clip to fit between two respective barbs. The barbs are spaced as close together as possible to prevent any axial movement of the bloodline connector when the assurance device is engaged about the mated connectors (4,8).

IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: The present invention provides for automatic placement of typographical features such as vertical stems or horizontal segments of a character (205) on high contrast pixel sub-component boundaries as part of a rendering process that uses separately controllable pixel sub-components (202, 203, 204) of pixels to represent different portions of the character (205). In order to identify the typographical features of the character (205) that are to be aligned with high contrast pixel sub-component boundaries, topology of the character is analyzed at runtime. In display devices having vertical stripes of same-colored pixel sub-components (202, 203, 204), it has been found that character legibility is increased when the left edges of stems (206) are aligned with high contrast boundaries (208) between pixel sub-components. Processing time and resources are conserved by performing a partial, rather than a full, topological analysis of the character. For example, some font files include data structures that define the position of key control points associated with the character, thereby indicating where the stems or other typographical features are located, and the relationship between different typographical features.

Abstract: Multiple downlink and uplink component carriers are allocated to a base station device, and a mobile station device (2) communicates with the base station device using the component carriers. The mobile station (2) has a downlink control channel detection unit (67) that detects a downlink control channel from multiple search spaces wherein a downlink control channel signal is detected; and a carrier component identification unit (53a) that identifies, from the search space in which is located the downlink control channel detected by the downlink control channel detection unit (67), a component carrier that is controlled with downlink control information to be transmitted to the mobile station device with the downlink control channel. Thus, it is possible to identify the component carrier controlled by downlink control information (DCI) that is transmitted with a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) without increasing the encoding ratio of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
