Abstract: A fiber bundle concentrating apparatus includes a guide member (31) having a pair of guide surfaces (35a) which face each other and guide a fiber bundle so that the width of the fiber bundle is narrowed, and an excitation device (32) for vibrating the guide member to generate sound pressure. The guide member includes a pair of guide portions (35) which are placed to face each other, so that the guide surfaces are formed. Each guide portion has a straight portion (35b) and a tapered portion, which are made continuous by a connection portion. The straight portions are formed so that the distance between the two guide surfaces is constant, and the tapered portions are formed so that the distance between the two guide surfaces gradually becomes greater toward a direction opposite to the advancing direction of the fiber bundle. The straight portions (35b) form an outlet (35d) through which the fiber bundle is fed out from the guide member. The shape of the guide portions is set so that when the guide member is vibrated at a predetermined frequency by the excitation device, the outlet (35d) and the connection portions (35e) are located in locations different from the nodes of vibration.

Abstract: Thermogelling polymers are described containing poly (n-isopropyl acrylamide). Solutions of this polymer, copolymers or mixtures of the polymer with a second polymer such as poly(ethylene glycol), poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) or poly(vinyl alcohol) are liquids at room temperature and solids at body temperature. Thus, also provided are methods of implanting a hydrogel into a mammal by injecting the solution as a liquid at a temperature below body temperature into a selected site in the mammal at a temperature below body temperature, which then undergoes thermal phase transition to form a solid hydrogel  in situ  in the body as the implant warms to body temperature. Methods for using these thermal gelling materials in various applications including nucleus pulposus replacement/augmentation, wound care, disk replacement, cartilage replacement, joint replacement, surgical barriers, gastrointestinal devices, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, and breast enlargement are also provided.

Abstract: An electronic device for reducing power consumption of a computer motherboard is disclosed. The electronic device enables the computer motherboard to compel interruption of power supply to a south bridge chip and a super input output (SIO) chip of the computer motherboard so as to save power while the computer motherboard is waiting for receipt of a Wake-on-LAN packet. A network chip of the computer motherboard sends a signal to the power-saving electronic device as soon as a Wake-on-LAN event occurs, such that a standby power is electrically connected to the south bridge chip and the SIO chip by the electronic device. The computer motherboard equipped with the electronic device is capable of executing Wake-on-LAN function while compelling interruption of power supply to the south bridge chip and the SIO chip in a power-saving state.

IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 2001-08-03
Abstract: A source-aware bridging scheme for supporting bridging between a noisy ("unreliable") network and another, reliable network. Each device connected to the medium of the unreliable network includes a source-aware MAC that maintains a Bridge Proxy Destination Address list (BPDAlist) of all destination addresses that reside on the other network and are reached by a bridge. The BPDAlist information can be learned by the source-aware MAC during a frame receive and/or received during a channel estimation cycle. The list associates destination addresses with the address of the particular bridge through which the destination addresses are accessed. The bridge serves as a proxy with respect to those destination addresses and thus maintains its own list of the destination addresses for which it serves as proxy, or, IAPlist. The IAPlist can be learned, or passed down to the source-aware MAC from a learning bridge process or from the local host to which the device is coupled. The source-aware MAC in each device, including the bridge, supports bridge proxy processing functions. If the device receives a frame intended for transmit and the destination address is a bridged address (that is, is included in the BPDAlist, the bridge proxy processing replaces the destination address with the appropriate bridge address and encapsulates the frame with bridge information that enables the bridge to reconstruct the original frame. If the device is a bridge, the processing replaces the source address with the address of the bridge and updates the IAPlist with the source address. If a frame with bridge information is received from the medium, the bridge proxy processing restores the frame from the bridge information and may use the bridge information to update the BPDAlist.

Abstract: An anti-copy programme signal is prodded. Copies of the anti-copy video pulses made on a video recorder experience reduced quality and interference in playback making them unpleasant to watch. The uncopied signal can be viewed without any material effect on picture quality. The signal comprises a first modulated wave-form 34 added to the vertical synchronisation pulses 16 of the signal and a second modulated wave-form 36 added to several lines 6 of the picture signal before the vertical blanking section 12. The presence of these features together has been found to be provide a surprising accumulative effectiveness in causing interference in the reproduction of the modified video signal during playback of the copied video signal, that is greater than the effectiveness provided by the different features taken separately.
