Abstract: In a microfluidic system (partially shown by element 178 in the figure and
elements thereupon) using electrokinetic forces, the present invention uses
electrical current or electrical parameters, other than voltage, to control the
movement of fluids through the channels of the system. Time-multiplexed
power supplies (200 and 202) also provide further control over fluid movement
by varying the voltage on an electrode connected to a fluid reservoir of the
microfluidic system, by varying the duty cycle during which the voltage is
applied to the electrode, or by a combination of both. A time-multiplexed power
supply can also be connected to more than one electrode for a saving in cost.

Abstract: A multiple device management method and system that executes commands on one controller computer, such as in a data center, to initiate operations on controlled computers containing agent software. An operation may comprise the execution of script, execution of a binary program, or other operations. The mechanism works with sets of computers as if they were a single computer, whereby, for example, management of computing devices is greatly simplified, and the cost of managing computing devices in a data center is significantly reduced. The controller communicates with the nodes using a messaging format, and provides a schema to represent the available nodes in the data center, their organization into sets, and the results of ongoing and completed operations. The schema may also be used to manage jobs to perform on nodes and sets of nodes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An excessive volume of fuel discharged by a high-pressure supply pump (3) to a common rail (4) due to an opened state abnormality of an inlet metering valve (7) may result in an abnormal increase in common rail pressure. In the event of such an abnormal increase, a target idle revolution speed is newly set at an abnormal value greater than a normal value as a measure taken to increase an idle revolution speed. Thus, a pressure limiter (6), which has been once put in an opened valve state by an actual common rail pressure higher than a limit setting pressure, can be prevented from again entering a closed valve state. As a result, it is possible to eliminate idle performance instability caused by repetition of opened valve and closed valve states of the pressure limiter and, hence, assure reliability of the pressure limiter.

Abstract: A detecting-element assembly 40 is configured such that a piezoelectric
element 51 is housed in a casing body portion 43 of a casing 42, and is attached to a
housing portion 22 of a flow path formation member 20 via a flange portion 41.
Therefore, the path between the piezoelectric element 51 and the position of
attachment of the detecting-element assembly 40 is elongated, whereby ultrasonic
waves which leak into the interior of the detecting-element assembly 40 from the
piezoelectric element 51 become unlikely to reflectively return from a joint. Thus,
the influence of, for example, noise stemming from reflected waves is reduced,
thereby enhancing the accuracy of detection. An average clearance of 1 millimeter
or more is provided along the outer circumferential surface of the casing body
portion 43 of the detecting-element assembly 40, whereby a problem of collected
foreign matter is unlikely to occur.

Abstract: A vehicular headlamp employing a light-emitting element (1) such as an LED and having an improved projected light pattern. A light-emitting surface (1a) of the light-emitting element (1) has a horizontally elongated shape when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the light-emitting element (1) so as to form a light distribution pattern which is enlarged through an optical system mainly in the horizontal direction. Since the projected pattern is obtained by enlarging the horizontally elongated light source image, it is easier to design the light distribution of the lamp in comparison to a case where the light intensity distribution of the light-emitting element (1) is rotationally symmetric.
