Abstract: Ear-level full duplex audio communication systems each include one or two ear attachment devices, such as in-the-ear (ITE) or behind-the-ear (BTE) devices, that wirelessly communicates to a remote device such as a computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a cellular phone, a walkie talkie, or a language translator. When used as a hearing aid, such a system allows a hearing impaired individual to communicate with or through the remote device, such as to talk to another person through a cellular phone. When being used as an ear piece wirelessly extended from the remote device, such system allows an individual with normal hearing to privately communicate with or through the remote device without the need of holding the device or wearing any device wired to the remote device. Each ear attachment device includes a voice operated exchange (VOX), housed within the device, to preserve energy and hence, maximize the period between battery replacement or recharges. The VOX also gates various sounds detected by the system to control possible echoes and ringing.

Abstract: Provided are a nitride-based light emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same. The nitride-based light emitting device has a structure in which at least an n-cladding layer (130), an active layer (140), and a p-cladding layer (150) are sequentially formed on a substrate (110). The light emitting device further includes an ohmic contact layer (230) composed of a zinc (Zn)-containing oxide containing a p-type dopant formed on the p-cladding layer. The method of manufacturing the nitride-based light emitting device includes forming an ohmic contact layer composed of Zn-containing oxide containing a p-type dopant on the p-cladding layer, the ohmic contact layer being made and annealing the resultant structure. The nitride-based light emitting device and manufacturing method provide excellent I-V characteristics by improving ohmic contact with a p-cladding layer while significantly enhancing light emission efficiency of the device due to high light transmittance of a transparent electrode.

Abstract: A deactivator for deactivating label-style EAS devices is claimed. A preferred embodiment employs a microprocessor unit to control two transceiver coils, and a deactivation coil in series with a capacitor. The two transceiver coils are essentially two flat figure eights arranged concentrically but rotated through some angle with respect to each other. The transceiver coils are operated alternatively, first transmitting an interrogation signal and then listening for a response. When an EAS device is detected, the microprocessor unit drives the capacitor and deactivation coil at the system's resonant frequency to generate a high amplitude magnetic field then shifts the frequency of the driving current away from the resonant frequency to attenuate the magnetic field. A field sensor or current sensor provides feedback to the microprocessor to determine the resonant frequency of the system during a frequency sweep.

Abstract: Described is a system and method including a user interface to manage sets of digital data (e.g., files) such as digital photographs or email messages. The system and method comprise a rapid sort mechanism and an underlying support mechanism that associates metadata with each set of digital data, including annotation metadata obtained from the sort mechanism. As the user scrolls through images that represent the sets of digital data and categorizes them, metadata as to its particular categorization or lack of categorization is implicitly obtained and associated with each set of digital data. Grouping of sets of digital data into clusters is also provided, with a visual indication as to which cluster a set of digital data belongs. With respect to digital photography, the system and method makes annotating and classifying digital photographs significantly easier and faster than contemporary photograph management mechanisms.

Eine der beiden Seitenflächen eines ersten Armes des Knotens schließt mit der Ebene des Knotens einen anderen Winkel ein als die andere Seitenfläche des ersten Armes und/oder als eine der beiden Seitenfläche eines weiteren Armes. Da es besonders bei unregelmäßig gekrümmten Tragwerken zumindest an einem Ende eines Stabes zu einer erheblichen Verdrehung des Profils des Stabes gegenüber der Knotenebene aber auch den anderen ankommenden Stäben kommt, wird ein ordnungsgemäßer Anschluss nur dadurch gewährleistet, dass die Seitenwände der beiden Arme, zwischen die das Ende des Stabes eingeschoben wird, entsprechend dieser Verdrehung geneigt sind. 
     Das Dichtungselement zum Abdichten des Knotens und der daran befestigten Stäbe weist einen zentralen Bereich auf, der zumindest den Bereich des Schnittpunktes der Stäbe abdecken kann, sowie zumindest einen mit diesem zentralen Bereich durch zumindest eine Materialfalte, wie einen Faltenbalg, verbundenen Ausleger.

Abstract: A variable fan drive (10) for a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine (13) is provided. A drive side assembly (12) utilizes a hydraulic actuator to actuate a variable sheave assembly (20). The variable sheave assembly (20) drives a sheave assembly (22) of a driven side assembly (14) by way of a v-belt (18). The hydraulic actuator has a piston (114) coupled to the variable sheave assembly (20). The piston (114) is hydraulically translated by pressurized engine oil from the internal combustion engine (13). An electronically controlled solenoid valve (124) controlled by an engine or vehicle controller selectively controls the flow of engine oil for piston actuation. Thus the speed of the fan (16) can be controlled based on various engine or vehicle operating parameters.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for using subqueues to enhance local message processing. Messages include queue IDs comprised of a parent portion and a suffix portion. The parent portion identifies a parent queue and the suffix portion identifies a subqueue of the parent queue. Message are logically moved between queues by changing suffix values, such as, for example, between subqueues, between the parent queue and a subqueue, and between a subqueue and the parent queue. Applications can examine messages and route messages to specified subqueues based on message content (including message bodies and headers). Suffix values can be changed in place (e.g., while the message remains physically stored in the queue) so as to preserve message sender identity and to avoid prematurely acknowledging delivery (i.e., no return ACK is generated)
