Abstract: The method and device of the present invention for wound treatment with ultrasound standing waves includes a transducer probe to produce ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic transducer has a tip with a distal radiation surface that radiates ultrasound energy toward the surface of a wound. Ultrasound standing waves occurring as a result of incident and reflected waves from the wound surface create ultrasonic radiation pressure. Ultrasound radiation pressure increases the blood flow in wound area, and ultrasound waves kill bacteria, stimulate healthy tissue cell and treat wounds.

Abstract: The invention relates mainly to a method for controlling the motion of a yarn stopper magnet in a measuring feeder for textile machines, preferably for weaving machines of air- or waterjet-type. The stopper magnet has a soft-iron armature connected to a yarn stopper element, which armature co-acts with at least one electromagnetic coil in order to achieve the desired motion of the stopper magnet. During an initial part of the time for the motion, according to the invention, said electromagnetic coil/-coils is/are supplied with a control voltage with an amplitude considerably exceeding the average level of the control voltage during the remaining part of the motion, in order to achieve an optimally fast motion with low input energy amount and thereby a low heat development, as well as low kinetic energy (speed) of the stopper element at the end of its motion.

Abstract: A method and mechanism for arbitrating and transmitting data. A first transaction and a second transaction are detected. The first transaction is targeted to a first domain and the second transaction is targeted to a second domain different than the first domain. Subsequent to receiving the transactions, arbitration domains corresponding to each are determined. In response to detecting the arbitration domains are not equal, the first and second transaction may be transmitted concurrently. However, if the arbitration domains are determined to be equal, arbitration is performed and transmission of the first and second transactions is serialized. Also contemplated is generating masks corresponding to each of the received transactions. The masks which are generated include an indication of the target domain of the corresponding transaction. When the transaction is conveyed to a port for transmittal, its mask is conveyed as well. Each port includes a domain vector register indicating the domains to which it is connected. By comparing the received mask to the domain vector register, a determination is made as to whether the transaction is to be output on the port or not.
