Abstract: Networking in uncoordinated frequency hopping piconets includes forming an anchor piconet from a plurality of wireless units that are in range of one another. An anchor unit is selected from the plurality of wireless units. A beacon signal is generated from the anchor unit and the remaining wireless units are locked onto the beacon signal. An additional embodiment the invention in peer-to-peer ad-hoc networking includes establishing at least one anchor piconet and establishing at least one traffic piconet between at least two wireless units in the anchor piconet. The traffic piconet is established using information relayed from the anchor unit to each wireless unit that participates in the traffic piconet. Since the anchor unit knows routing and identification information of all the wireless units, the traffic piconets can be established with minimal delay.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for starting an engine comprising a frame and an internal combustion engine operatively mounted to the frame. A control member is operatively connected to the frame, wherein the control member has an activated position and a deactivated position. The control member is adapted to complete an engine circuit when in the activated position. An energy storage medium is operatively associated with the engine such that release of energy stored in the energy storage medium turns the engine and facilitates its starting. A starting assembly is utilized to release the stored energy in the energy storage medium. An operator must utilize two separate and distinct actions, activating the control member and activating the starting assembly, to restart the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un imageur CMOS à schéma de réinitialisation, par lequel un imageur CMOS génère un bruit sous-kTC de manière que le bruit mesuré ne dépende pas de la capacité du noeud de lecture. En utilisant un circuit de rétroaction de colonne (555), le bruit de réinitialisation peut être supprimé à une quantité négligeable de manière que l'APS de la grille photonique ou des circuits de type CCD puissent effectuer une performance de bruit à des valeurs très efficaces. Ce schéma permet d'augmenter la capacité du noeud de lecture sans augmenter le bruit et d'effectuer une valeur élevée de puits entièrement rempli sans sacrifier la performance du bruit mesuré. Le circuit de rétroaction d'un des modes de réalisation de l'invention est situé du côté colonne du circuit. Cette conception produit un changement minimal du pixel (500). Il en résulte que le rendement quantique ou la taille du pixel n'est pas compromise. Cette invention permet à un imageur CMOS de capturer une scène à contrastes intra-théatraux élevés à faible éclairage et portée dynamique élevée.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a mass spectrometer system, having a processing section, provides for the application of both an axial field and periodic application of a flush pulse to the processing section. This gives a reproducible output ion signal from the processing section that is very responsive to changes in operating conditions in the processing section. The mass spectrometer system can comprise: a collision/reaction cell having an input and an output; and a set of elongated rods extending between said input and output, said elongated rods spatially arranged. Separate auxiliary electrodes can be provided to generate the axial field. The invention has particular applicability to ICP-MS, where strong ion currents can result in a collision cell taking some time to reach equilibrium when the operating condition is changed.
