Abstract: An aerosol generator includes a flow passage having an inlet and an outlet, a heater arranged relative to the flow passage for heating the flow passage, a source of material to be volatilized in communication with the inlet of the flow passage, a valve to open and close communication between the source of material and the inlet of the flow passage, and a pressurization arrangement for causing material in the source of material to be introduced into the flow passage when the valve is in an open position. The aerosol generator further includes a source of power for operating the heater and the valve, and a control device for controlling supply of power from the source of power to the heater and the valve. A metering device in an inhaler includes a pressurized source of medicated fluid and a metering chamber configured to deliver a predetermined volume of fluid to a heated flow passage in the inhaler. The metering chamber can be part of a rotary valve having a bore and a displacement member moveable within the bore from a first position where the fluid is loaded into the bore to a second position where the predetermined volume is ejected out of the bore. Another metering chamber has an elastic portion of a delivery passage in fluid communication with the pressurized source of liquid and the elastic portion of the delivery passage is deformed to eject the predetermined volume.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for conversion of video data from a source format to a second destination. Conversion can be performed in real time and intermediate data is stored in a buffer. Converted video data is written into the buffer at a first rate and read out of the buffer at a second rate. In order to avoid overflow and underflow conditions, a threshold value is determined based, at least in part, on the video format being converted. The threshold value indicates a point in frame conversion at which converted data is read out of the buffer.

Abstract: A motion control system and method that includes a central controller configured to generate first and second demand control signals to be used to define actuation motion of respective first and second actuators. The central controller is in communication with first and second nodes by way of a data network, each node including at least a respective actuator configured to implement at an actuator time a motion or force-related effort based upon the respective demand control signal. Each node also includes a memory configured to store at least one respective propagation delay parameter related to a signal propagation delay between the central controller and the node. A timing mechanism establishes timing at each node based on the respective propagation delay parameter so that the actuator time at the nodes occurs simultaneously. Strictly cyclic and/or full-duplex high-speed communication can be supported. The network can be wired in a ring or as a tree and with twisted pair cabling or fiber. The central controller issues demand signals to the nodes that are actuator, servo motor drive, and/or I/O devices. The central controller can also provide a timing message that is used by the nodes, in conjunction with local delay correction circuitry, so that the simultaneous acquisition of data and the simultaneous implementation of controlled action occur.

Abstract: A method and system for compressing and displaying a digital ink trace. Raw ink data is smoothed, and sharp points of the smoothed line are found. Curve-fitting is then used to generate a mathematical expression that defines the line segments between adjacent sharp points. The ink trace then is represented by a backbone spline that includes the sharp points and the mathematical expressions for the line segments. Thickness information, such as pressure or acceleration information, is combined with the backbone spline to provide a compressed ink file that represents a contour curve of the original ink trace. A display module uses an algorithm to separate the contour curve into a sequence of straight lines. A set of pixels is then generated for the display of each straight line using a novel antialiasing method. The pixels at the ends of adjacent straight lines are aligned using a weighting algorithm.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for indirect evaporative cooling of a fluid stream to substantially its dew point temperature. Plate heat exchanger has perforations 11 and channels 3, 4 and 5 for gas or a low temperature for liquids on a dry side and wet side. Fluid streams 1 flow across the dry side 9, transferring heat to the plate. Gas stream 2 flows across the dry side and through perforations to channels 5 on wet side 10, which it then cools by evaporative cooling as well as conductive and radiative transfer of heat from plate. A wicking material provides wetting of wet side. In other embodiments, a desiccant wheel may be used to dehumidify the gas, air streams may be recirculated, feeder wicks 13 and a pump may be used to bring water from a water reservoir, and fans may be used to either force or induce a draft. The wicking material may be cellulose, organic fibers, organic based fibers, polyester, polypropylene, carbon-based fibers, silicon based fibers, fiberglass, or combinations of them. The device may be operated in winter months to scavenge heat from exhaust gases of a space and thus pre-heat fresh air, while simultaneously humidifying the fresh air.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for preventing retrograde flow of fluid, e.g., blood products, into a source of sterile substitution fluid ( 50 ). The apparatus of the present invention includes a controllable pinch valve member ( 110 ) that is placed on a section of a conduit ( 90 ) which carries sterile substitution fluid to an extracorporeal circuit ( 30 ). In one embodiment, control over the valve member ( 110 ) is based on a control unit ( 120 ) using fluid pressures that are sensed upstream and downstream of the valve member ( 110 ) by upstream sensor ( 121 ) and downstream pressure ( 122 ) respectively. The valve member ( 110 ) is preferably opened only when the upstream pressure is greater than the downstream pressure. This assures that the substitution fluid flows only in a single direction when the pinch valve member ( 110 ) completely occludes the conduit ( 90 ) when in a closed position. Therefor, blood will not contaminate the sterile fluid by being drawn into the conduit ( 90 ) due to pressure differences.

Abstract: In a mass spectrometry system, a method of operating a processing section, for example a collision cell, is provided. The method is based on the realization that some interfering ions after collision will have significantly lower kinetic energy than desired analyte ions. These interfering ions can be ions originating from the source, or product ions formed by reaction with gas particles, or ions produced by other processes within the cell. Significantly, these interfering ions can have lower kinetic energies, as compared to desired analyte ions, but this energy differential disappears, or is much reduced, at the exit of the collision cell, rendering post-cell energy discrimination less effective. The invention provides a field within the cell to discriminate against the interfering ions based on their lower kinetic energy.

Abstract: To print sub-wavelength features on a wafer, a mask set including a full phase PSM (FPSM) and a corresponding trim mask can be used. Phase assignments on the FPSM can result in some feature definition with the trim mask, particularly in non-critical areas. Unfortunately, this limited feature definition can cause significant critical dimension (CD) variations in these non-critical areas. Undesirable critical dimension (CD) variations can be better controlled, even with substantial mask misalignment, by defining multiple feature edge portions with the trim mask in non-critical areas, such as T-intersections, elbows, and other types of intersecting lines.
