Abstract: A synthetic fiber which is excellent in moisture-absorbing/releasing property and exhibits high elongation and high recovery percentage of elongation, characterized in that it has moisture absorption ratios of 0.5 to 4.0 wt % and 4.5 wt % or more under conditions of 20 °C X 65 %RH and 30 °C X 90%RH, respectively, and also has a difference between the absorption ratios under the two conditions of 4.0 wt % or more. The representative examples of such fibers include polyurethane synthetic fiber and polyether synthetic fiber. The synthetic fiber maintains a high tensile strength at break of an elastomer fiber component thereof also in the state of having absorbed moisture, is excellent in color fastness to rubbing, and can be used for manufacturing a stretch fiber fabric product excellent in comfortableness through blending with another fiber material. The synthetic fiber can be produced by incorporating a water-absorbing resin having a water absorbing ratio of 500 to 4,000 wt % into an elastomer fiber such as a polyurethane fiber and a polyurethaneurea fiber in a finely dispersed state in an amount of 1 to 15 wt % relative to a fiber-forming polymer.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for estimating reverse link loading in a wireless communication system. In the present invention, the reverse link signals are passed through notch filters such that no energy (or energy of negligible amounts) is transmitted in these areas of the reverse link frequency band. At the base station, the unloaded cell energy is estimated by measuring the energy in the areas where the reverse link signals are notched. The in band energy is then compared to the energy in the notched portions of the reverse link band and based on this ratio cell capacity is determined.

Abstract: P-type active region  12 ; n-type source/drain regions  13a  and  13b ; gate insulating film  14  made of a thermal oxide film; gate electrode  15 ; source/drain electrodes  16a  and  16b , are provided over a p-type Sic substrate  11 . In the active region  12 , p-type heavily doped layers  12a , which are thin enough to create a quantum effect, and thick undoped layers  12b  are alternately stacked. when carriers flow, scattering of impurity ions in the active region is reduced, and the channel mobility increases. In the OFF state, a depletion layer expands throughout the active region, and the breakdown voltage increases. As a result of reduction in charges trapped in the gate insulating film or near the interface between the gate insulating film and the active region, the channel mobility further increases.

Abstract: An improvement on existing methods to desulfurize oligosulfide silanes generates no added raw materials or waste streams in addition to the sodium chloride which is generated as a byproduct in the current manufacturing process for polysulfide silanes. this is accomplished by using mercaptosilane salts as desulfurizing agents, which yield more product in addition to that already obtained from the desulfurized silane of higher sulphur rank. The process simply entails reacting an oligosulfide silane with a mercaptosilane salt to thereby obtain an oligosulfide silane whose average sulphur rank is less than the starting oligosulfide silane. Coproduct sulphide salts can be recycled back to the oligosulfide manufacturing process. The mercaptosilane salts are novel materials as well.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated speed-adaptive and patient-adaptive control scheme and system for a knee prosthesis (110). The control scheme and system utilizes sensory information measured local to the prosthesis (110) to automatically adjust stance and swing phase knee resistances to a particular wearer under a wide variety of locomotory activities. Advantageously, no patient-specific information needs to be pre-programmed into the prosthetic knee (110) by a prosthetist or the patient. The system (110) is able to adapt to various types of disturbances once the patient leaves the prosthetist's facility because it is patient-adaptive and speed-adaptive.

Abstract: Use of dipsticks to test for the presence of target nucleic acid in a sample solution is described. The dipsticks comprise a contact end for contacting the sample solution and a capture zone, remote from the contact end, to which a capture probe is immobilised. The capture probe is capable of hybridising to the target nucleic acid. The sample solution is contacted with the contact end of the dipstick and travels by capillary action to the capture zone. If target nucleic acid is present in the sample solution it is captured and can be detected at the capture zone. The capture probe is immobilised to the capture zone by a spacer. Use of the spacer increases the stability of the interaction between the capture probe and the target nucleic acid and thus improves the sensitivity of target nucleic acid detection. Detection probes with spacers are also described.
