Abstract: A small-sized, light-weight display device having an audio output circuit is provided. A display device of the present invention has a flat speaker and an audio signal processing device is constructed from thin film semiconductor elements, typically, thin film transistors, on the display device. The speaker is driven by BTL driving, thereby reducing the power supply voltage and preventing degradation of the thin film transistors. A display device with a built-in audio signal processing circuit is thus reduced in size and weight.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-12-30
Abstract: A sending computing system sends a number of network packets to a receiving computing system over a specific network connection. The sending computing system monitors at least partially uncorrelated network events to extract a soft timer that schedules transmissions based on the uncorrelated network events such as feedback events (e.g., acknowledgment messages) when sending the packets using TCP. Since potentially even all of the network connections are used, the events are less correlated from the sending of packets over the specific connection. The extracted timer is then used to pace the packets being sent out over the specific connection. The packets being sent out may be marked in a way as to regulate the frequency of occurrence of the uncorrelated network events being monitored.

Abstract: A steering column assembly (12) moveable along an axis to an
extended and retracted position and having a hand wheel (14) tiltable about a
pivot axis between tilted and untilted positions is provided. A control
mechanism (42) limits the degree of tilting movement of the hand wheel (14) so

retracted position, the steering column (18) is tillable to the second maximum
tilt angle. The second maximum lilt angle is less than the first maximum tilt
angle to prevent the steering column assembly (12) from interfering with any

Abstract: This invention provides methods useful in aiding in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's
disease. The methods involve measuring the amount of amyloid-β peptide (x-≥41) in the
cerebrospinal fluid of a patient. High levels of the peptide generally are inconsistent with a
diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Low levels of the peptide are consistent with the disease and,
with other tests, can provide a positive diagnosis. Other methods involve measuring the
amounts of both Aβ(x-≥41) and tau. Low levels of Aβ(x-≥41) and high levels of tau are a
positive indicator of Alzheimer's disease, while high levels of Aβ(x-≥41) and low levels of
tau are a negative indication of Alzheimer's disease.
