Abstract: Modified polyolefins are produced by reacting a functionalized polyolefin with one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds having a functional group reactive with the functional group on the polyolefin. These modified polyolefins may then polymerize in the presence of a photoinitiator upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation and also have the capability of copolymerizing in the presence of a photoinitiator with other ethylenically unsaturated crosslinking agents upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation. These modified polyolefins may also contain pendant carboxyl groups, which have the propensity to form hydrophilic salts with amines, and therefore may be rendered water-dispersible. The modified polyolefins of the present invention significantly improve the adhesion of paints, inks, and adhesives to various plastic and metal substrates.

Abstract: A haptic feedback remote control device provides control signals to a toy device, such as a car, boat, plane, etc., to control the toy's operation. The remote control device includes a housing and at least one control for manual manipulation by the user, where control signals representing the manipulation are sent to the toy, preferably transmitted wirelessly. An actuator outputs forces on the housing and/or on a control in response to actuator signals. A controller provides the actuator signals based on the manual manipulation of the control by the user, or based on status signals from the toy indicating the toy's actions or interactions, or based on both. In one embodiment, the actuator moves an inertial mass to provide inertial sensations on the housing. The information received from the toy device can include information from a contact sensor or inertial sensor on the toy device.

Abstract: The luminosity sensor comprises at least one photocell (1) whose upper face is luminosity-detecting and lower face has two polarized outputs (2,3) connectable to a signal-processing module for automatic control of an apparatus. The photocell (1) is fastened on the upper face of a flat support which is dimensioned so to extend beyond all the periphery of the photocell, and the two polarized outputs (2,3) are fit out so that they are in contact with two strip conductors (4,5) extending to the peripheral part of the flat support constituting a connection zone (7). The extremities (4',5') of the strip conductors are extended to the periphery of the flat support for connecting to a cable by soldering or setting. The sensor comprises a protection layer (8) whose thickness is identical to or slightly greater than that of the photocell, and whose upper surface is with an adhesive cover to allow fastening on a receiving transparent support; the lower surface of the protection layer is also with an adhesive cover for fastening to the flat support. The lower face of the flat support is with an adhesive cover to allow fastening on any receiving support. The flat support, e.g. of plastic material such as ''Ultem'' (TM), and the protection layer, e.g. of synthetic material such as ''Neoprene'' (TM), are made of flexile materials. The strip conductors (4,5) are separated from the protection layer (8) by an insulating product. The method for manufacturing the luminosity sensor includes the fitting of the strip conductors on the surface of the flat support, the fastening of the photocell on the flat support, and the fastening of the protection layer on the flat support.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a focused ultrasound procedure monitored using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is provided. An MRI system uses a timing sequence for transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals and detecting magnetic resonance (MR) response signals from a patient's body in response to the RF pulse sequences. A piezoelectric transducer is driven with drive signals such that the transducer emits acoustic energy towards a target tissue region within the patient's body. Parameters of the drive signals are changed at times during the timing sequence that minimize interference with the MRI system detecting MR response signals, e.g., during transmission of RF signals by the MRI system.

Abstract: A locking mechanism interconnects telescoping outer and inner tubes between extended and retracted lengths, such as for a trek or ski pole. A detent or pin movably extends between the outer and inner tubes to secure the tubes with respect to one another. A connector sleeve can be disposed on one tube, and movably receive the other tube therein. A button can be carried by the sleeve, and is depressable to force the pin away from the outer tube, allowing the inner tube to slide. The button can be formed on an annular band that deforms when the button is depressed, and the resiliently returns to its initial shape when released to bias the button away from the detent or pin.

Abstract: A skin lesion exciser including a moving blade, wherein excision of a skin lesion placed in proximity to the blade is effected by movement of the blade against the skin, a moving engagement portion, wherein the blade and the engagement portion have coincident movement, and a skin-closure device having an open condition prior to excision of the skin lesion, and a closed condition in which the device holds the skin closed after excision of the skin lesion. The device is in engagement with the engagement portion during movement of the blade, and the device is moved from its open to its closed condition in response to movement of the engagement portion. The excision of the skin lesion and the closure of the skin are substantially simultaneous. The present invention also provides a method for excising a skin lesion including: positioning a skin lesion above a moving blade; slicing the lesion from the skin with the blade; and substantially simultaneously with excision of the lesion, closing the skin beneath the moving blade. The present invention also provides a skin-closure device which may be used in conjunction with an inventive exciser.

The semiconductor device has a command bus for receiving a plurality of synchronously captured input signals, and a plurality of asynchronous input terminals for receiving a plurality of asynchronous input signals. The device further has a clock input for receiving an external clock signal thereon, with the device being specified by the manufacturer to be operated in the normal mode using an external clock signal having a frequency no less than a predetermined minimum frequency. An internal delay locked loop (DLL) clocking circuit is coupled to the clock input terminal and is responsive in normal operating mode to be responsive to the external clock signal to generate at least one internal clock signal. control circuitry in the device is responsive to a predetermined sequence of asynchronous signals applied to the device's asynchronous input terminals to place the device in an alternative mode of operation in which the internal clocking circuit is disabled, such that the device may be operated in the alternative mode using an external clock signal having a frequency less than the predetermined minimum frequency. The alternative mode of operation facilitates testing of the device at a speed less than the minimum frequency specified for the normal mode of operation.

Abstract: A method for managing multicast subscribers in a mobile network, comprising: classifying data related to multicast traffic into multicast-related record data and multicast route data. The multicast-related record data is stored in the system for query, while the multicast route data is hierarchically stored in the system to determine how to forward multicast data. When a subscriber joins in a multicast group or the multicast subscriber exits a multicast group, the hierarchical multicast route data and said multicast-related record data are modified accordingly. When the multicast subscriber performs a position register and position update in the network, the hierarchical multicast route data in the system is modified accordingly. The management of multicast subscribers in the mobile network can be achieved easily and both management efficiency and the utilization coefficient of system resources are improved. <IMAGE>
