Abstract: A liquid discharging apparatus includes a plurality of liquid channels each having a discharge port, a control electrode extended on a surface defining the liquid channel from the discharge port toward an upstream side in a direction of flow of a liquid, an insulating filmwhich coats the control electrode, and an electric potential control section which controls an electric potential of the control electrode with respect to the liquid. When a predetermined electric potential difference are set between the liquid and the control electrode, a liquid repellence of a surface of the insulating film is lowered due to an electrowetting phenomenon so that the liquid can move toward the discharge port on an area of the liquid channel in which the insulating film is formed. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the liquid discharging apparatus which is capable of discharging a liquid by a simple structure.

Abstract: Dermatophytes which belong to one of the three genera Epidermophyton, Trichophyton and Microsporum are the main cause of fungal infections of skin, hair and nails. Traditional diagnostic procedures consist of microscopy and culture, but due to the slow growth rate of dermatophytes typically two to four weeks are needed before a final diagnosis is obtained. The present invention is a rapid DNA extraction method extracting nucleic acids from fungi (e.g. dermatophytes and other pathogenic fungi) which can be performed from directly on hair, nail or skin specimens from humans, from naturally or experimentally infected animals or from cultured fungal colonies for the use in PCR amplification and detection assays. The present invention also includes specific primer sets for detection of any dermatophyte and for species specific detection of Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum by PCR and a kit for diagnosing fungal infections.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling utilization of resources(s) of contention by a plurality of devices of a single or multiple priority classes. A utilization scaling factor is determined for each class for the resource(s) and compared with a threshold value. An apersistence property pattern is then created for each class that includes apersistence property entries corresponding to apersistence update cycles of an apersistence pattern window. Where the scaling factor is in a first range corresponding to low resource loading, the class pattern includes unimpeded entries allowing the devices in a class to attempt to utilize the resource. Otherwise, the class pattern is created with at least one blocking entry that prevents all devices in a class from attempting utilization of the resource during the corresponding apersistence update cycle. An apersistence property pattern entry is then provided from the pattern to the devices in each apersistence update cycle of the apersistence pattern window.

Abstract: Techniques for transmitting and receiving data in an efficient manner to potentially improve capacity for a wireless network and achieve power savings for a wireless device are described. The techniques utilize a Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC) mode comprised of multiple (e.g., two) discontinuous transmission (DTX) modes and at least one (e.g., one) discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. Each DTX mode is associated with different enabled uplink subframes usable for transmission from the wireless device to the network. Each DRX mode is associated with different enabled downlink subframes usable by the network for transmission to the wireless device. The wireless device may send signaling and/or data on the enabled uplink subframes and may receive signaling and/or data on the enabled downlink subframes.; The wireless device may power down during non-enabled subframes to conserve battery power. Mechanisms to quickly transition between the DTX and DRX modes are described.

Abstract: A self-tensioning tie down assembly (2) for tightening retaining straps (70) about winches (64) securing cargo (71) on a carrier (73). The assembly (2) has an actuator (15) connected to a pneumatic circuit (61) and providing reciprocating linear motion to a torque linkage (60) connected to the winch (64). The torque linkage (60) has a wrap spring clutch (17) connectable to the ratchet wheel (7) of the winch (64) and a connector arm (11) connected to the actuator (15). The torque linkage (60) transmits the linear motion to the winch (64) as a corresponding rotational motion. The required tension level of the retaining strap (70) is pre-set. Pressure within the circuit (61) drives the actuator (15) thereby actuating the torque linkage (60) which tightens the strap (70) on the winch (64) until the tension level is reached. The flow of pressure to the actuator (15) is controlled by a control valve (18) having a valve lever (19) that is toggled back and forth between an extend position and a retract position by a pair of opposed trip mounts (31, 32) mounted on the connector arm (11).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des récepteurs à échantillonnage de bande passante repliée Nyquist qui utilisent des filtres à large bande et des horloges d'échantillonnage modulées pour identifier les signaux reçus. En fonctionnement, plusieurs zones Nyquist sont autorisées à se replier l'une au dessus de l'autre pendant l'échantillonnage. Etant donné que l'horloge d'échantillonnage RF est modulée, des modulations de fréquence distinctes peuvent être induites dans chaque zone Nyquist. Les signaux qui sont repliés ensemble provenant de différentes zones Nyquist peuvent ensuite être identifiés et différenciés. C'est notamment le cas lorsque les zones Nyquist se replient les unes au dessus des autres, les différents signaux provenant de différentes zones Nyquist peuvent alors être séparés et identifiés à partir du fait que la modulation ajoutée est différente pour chaque zone Nyquist. Ainsi, au moyen d'une ou plusieurs modulations d'horloge induisant des modulations de fréquence qui sont indépendantes des zones Nyquist, plusieurs zones Nyquist peuvent être repliées ensemble, ce qui cependant n'empêche pas de continuer à séparer et à identifier des signaux provenant de différentes zones Nyquist. D'autres versions et formes de réalisation sont également présentées.
