Abstract: A hazardous condition detector (10), comprises a carbon monoxide detector circuit (16) positioned to sense atmospheric conditions. The carbon monoxide detector circuit (16) is operable to produce an output indicative of the amount of carbon monoxide detected thereby. The detector (10) also has a smoke chamber (14) positioned to sense atmospheric conditions. The smoke chamber (14) is operable to generate an output indicative of an amount of smoke sensed therein. The detector (10) also has an alarm circuit (20), and a microcontroller (12) coupled to receive the output of the carbon monoxide detector circuit (16) and the output of the smoke chamber (14). The microcontroller (12) is operably coupled to the alarm circuit (20). The microcontroller (12) places the detector (10) in a smoke alarm mode commanding the alarm circuit (20) to generate an alarm when the output of the smoke chamber (14) descends below a smoke threshold stored therein. The microcontroller (12) places the detector (10) in a carbon monoxide alarm mode when an accumulation of the output of the carbon monoxide detector circuit (16) exceeds an accumulation threshold stored within the microcontroller.

Abstract: A node (20, 20-2) of a packet switching network has a chain of processing units (30) through which a media stream of packets is routed for sequentially processing of each packet of the media stream. Each of the plural processing units of the chain generates an intra-node performance monitoring packet, and sends the intra-node performance monitoring packet to a performance monitoring unit (40) situated at the node. Each intra-node performance monitoring packet includes an indication of time spent by the packet of the media stream in the respective processing unit. The performance monitoring unit provides an indication of delay in the node for the media stream, e.g., the delay experienced at each processing unit of the chain and the overall delay for a packet of the media stream through the plural processing units comprising the processing chain of the node. For each processing unit, the intra-node performance monitoring packet can include plural components, such as a first component attributable to processing and a second component attributable to queuing delay. In case the delay experienced by the media stream packet between processing units of the node is not negligible, the performance monitoring unit acquires (e.g., estimates) a time required for the packet of the media stream to travel between successive processing units using a switch monitor packet. Each of the plural processing units can handle plural media streams, in different sequences if necessary. The performance monitoring unit is capable of providing an indication of delay in the node for each of the plural media streams.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting the presence of an object at a touch pad device, wherein the touch pad device has a designated interaction area for allowing a user to use the object to interact with the touch pad device for inputting one or more functions in an electronic device. One or more groups of optical sensor components, each including an optical receiver and two light emitters positioned at opposite sides of the receiver such that when an object is present at the touch pad device, the changes in the receiver output can be used to determine the location of the object as a function of time. Preferably, the light emitters are operated in a pulsed mode so that the changes in the receiver output contain a frequency component so as to distinguish the changes due to the presence of the object and those of ambient light. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is concerned among other with means and method for determining whether a compound influences a phase in the life cycle of a virus. The invention utilizes the striking observation that cells comprising a nucleic acid encoding an adenovirus early protein or a functional part, derivative and/or analogue of said adenovirus early protein are capable of replicating a wide variety of viruses and thus support all the life cycle steps of these viruses. Even viruses that are difficult to grow on other cells are replicated by such cells. The cells are therefore particularly well suited for the screening, selection, isolation or testing of compounds that influence a step in the life cycle of said virus. The invention further provides compounds obtainable by a method of the invention.
