Abstract: The present invention discloses a noise canceling system and method, an smart control 1 method and device and a communication equipment. Said smart control method includes: when it is detected there is no voice signal output at a receiving end of a communication equipment, receiving an outside noise signal from a reference microphone away from ears and a detection signal from a monitoring microphone near ears; implementing performance analysis on said received outside noise signal and said detection signal to estimate a noise reduction performance curve after said feed-forward active noise cancellation; and regulating parameters of the control circuit in said feed-forward active noise cancellation according to said estimated noise reduction performance curve and the preset noise reduction performance curve to make a difference between said estimated noise reduction performance curve and said preset noise reduction performance curve within a preset range. With the present invention, it is possible to effectively enhance noise reduction stability of a communication equipment to avoid inconsistency in noise reduction performance resulted from difference in coupling with ears of the communication equipment in use.

Abstract: A system is provided for reading and writing sectors which may be realized as either a disk device to the local operating system, or as a virtual disk device to a virtual machine. A user's computing environment is stored in the network in the form of a disk image, which may be a virtual disk image, for example. The virtual disk is realized on host computers through host-resident virtual machine monitors such as MICROSOFT VIRTUAL PC®. Portable memory devices, such as flash devices, buffer virtual disk writes and cache reads, greatly reducing the performance degradation associated with remote disk access. The cache is mobile so that it can be travel with the user. The flash device remembers commonly used virtual disk content fingerprints so that the host machine's local disk can be used to satisfy many common disk reads when ubiquitous static content is involved. Standard, frequently used software images might be distributed in advance to host machines. Flash disk contents are trickled back into the networked parent disk image in order to provide an automatic backup facility, adding the benefit of ensuring that the flash drive doesn't overflow.

Abstract: A method of controlling a circuit breaker 10 that has a movable contact 12 and an actuator 18 for moving the movable contact 12 between an open position and a closed position. With the movable contact 12 in the open position, a voltage is applied to the actuator to cause the movable contact to move towards the closed position. The voltage V1 is applied for a limited time period P1 ending before the movable contact 12 reaches the closed position. At the end of the limited time period P1, the voltage is adjusted to reduce the acceleration exerted on the contact. The voltage is subsequently increased just before, after, or substantially at the same time as the contact reaches its closed position.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif microfluidique (10) pouvant servir à isoler des cellules cibles ainsi qu'une méthode d'isolement de cellules cible à partir d'un fluide biologique. Le dispositif microfluidique (10) comprend : une entrée (50) permettant de recevoir le fluide biologique, ledit fluide biologique comprenant les cellules cibles et d'autres composants ; une sortie d'évacuation (60) permettant de recevoir au moins les autres composants du fluide biologique ; un ensemble de puits d'isolement de cellules disposés en parallèle (190) qui couplent l'entrée (50) avec la sortie d'évacuation (60), chaque rangée parallèle de puits d'isolement de cellules (190) acceptant un débit de fluide biologique depuis l'entrée (50) vers la sortie d'évacuation (60) en réponse au différentiel de pression qui y est appliqué, chaque rangée de puits d'isolement de cellules (190) étant constituée d'un ensemble de puits d'isolement, chaque puits d'isolement étant dimensionné de sorte à piéger mécaniquement les cellules cibles à l'intérieur tout en permettant le débit des autres composants du fluide biologique ; et au moins une structure de conservation de pression aidant à maintenir un différentiel de pression prédéterminé le long de chacune des rangées parallèles de puits d'isolement de cellules (190). Une augmentation du volume de fluide peut être traitée par une augmentation du nombre de pièges de sorte à augmenter le nombre de cellules cibles retenues. En disposant les rangées en parallèle, il est possible d'augmenter le volume d'échantillon pouvant être traité par unité de temps. Ceci permet de diminuer la durée de traitement d'un échantillon tout en augmentant l'efficacité de l'isolement des cellules cibles. De même, en utilisant des structures de conservation de pression (40), chacune des rangées parallèles des structures d'isolement de cellules permet de traiter correctement et efficacement l'échantillon. Ceci aide à améliorer le problème d'augmentation de l'échelle du dispositif microfluidique (10), ce qui s'avère difficile car il est complexe d'obtenir un débit prévisible en présence d'échantillons dont les caractéristiques sont très variables.
