Abstract: L'invention concerne la production d'informations améliorées relatives aux propriétés électriques de sous-régions (208-216) d'un échantillon (204), au moyen d'un appareil (600) de tomographie amélioré (EPET) connecté à un dispositif de tomographe. L'appareil (600) d'EPET permet de maintenir une tension constante, et de mesurer le courant électrique de l'échantillon (204) inséré dans l'appareil (600) d'EPET. Un support (602) correspondant est appliqué à l'échantillon (204) inséré dans l'appareil (600). On applique un support (602) correspondant à l'échantillon (204), de sorte que lorsque l'échantillon (204) est placé à l'intérieur d'un champ électromagnétique produit par l'appareil (600) d'EPET, le support (602) correspondant entre en contact avec les plaques (606) sensibles segmentées de l'appareil (600) d'EPET, et permet la détection de charges Q nettes totales sur la surface (202) de l'échantillon (204). L'appareil (600) d'EPET utilise ces charges Q nettes totales pour calculer des informations supplémentaires concernant les propriétés électriques de l'échantillon (204) à l'aide du procédé de facteur d'échelle ou du procédé de correction itérative.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing latency in a memory system
Inventor: MEKHIEL NAGI NASSIEF
IPC: G11C11/401

Granted: 2010-06-22
Abstract: A memory controller controls a buffer which stores the most recently used addresses and associated data, but the data stored in the buffer is only a portion of a row of data (termed row head data) stored in main memory. In a memory access initiated by the CPU, both the buffer and main memory are accessed simultaneously. If the buffer contains the address requested, the buffer immediately begins to provide the associated row head data in a burst to the cache memory. Meanwhile, the same row address is activated in the main memory bank corresponding to the requested address found in the buffer. After the buffer provides the row head data, the remainder of the burst of requested data is provided by the main memory to the CPU.

Filed: 2000-07-21
Granted: 2006-05-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided to reduce interference resulting from activation of explosive devices. One type of interference is charge-to-charge interference, and another type of interference is pre-shock interference between a detonating cord and an explosive, such as a shaped charge. To reduce interference, one or more shock impeding elements are placed proximal one or more explosives to impede propagation of shock caused by detonation of the explosives. The shock impeding elements include a porous material, such as a porous liquid or solid. In another arrangement, a shock burner may be positioned between a detonating cord and an explosive to reduce pre-shock interference. In yet another feature, an encapsulant may be provided around one or more shaped charges to enhance structural support for the shaped charges.

Title: A gene of aluminum-activated malate transporter of a plant and a protein encoded by the gene
Inventor: MATSUMOTO HIDEAKI
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2003-03-14
Granted: 2010-06-08
Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a novel protein that is an Al- activated malate transporter of a plant, and to provide a gene encoding the protein. To deal with this object, present invention provides ALMT1 -1 gene, a novel gene derived from wheat, and ALMT1-1 protein encoded by the gene. The ALMT1-1 protein is a protein functioning as aluminum-activated malate transporter. As malate forms complex with A1 to inactivate the A1 ion, the ALMT1-1 protein is involved in A1 tolerance of a plant. Therefore, A1 tolerance can be rendered to a plant using the ALMT1-1 gene that encodes the ALMT1-1 protein.
