Abstract: A solar tracking device (100; 1000) is mounted above a skylight of a building. An array of mirrors (150, 152, 154; 1110, 1114, 1118) is rotated at a rate of one revolution per day to reflect sunlight through the skylight. A control circuit (610; 1500) intermittently adjusts the angular position of the tracking device so that the mirrors face the sun. A solar array (130; 1200) charges an internal energy storage system (132; 1520, 1522) so that no external power source is needed. The control circuit (610; 1500) within the tracking device (100; 1000) reduces the power requirements at night and when not moving the tracking device during the daytime to conserve electrical energy.

Abstract: An improvement to Desorption Electrospray Ionization (DESI), the process of creating ions directly from sample surfaces for mass spectrometric (MS) analysis by impinging a liquid spray onto the surface. The improvement is brought about by enclosing the spray and sample surface and MS-inlet capillary in a pressure tight enclosure. The invention includes methods of sampling a larger or smaller area of surface by impacting and collecting droplets from such an area. The invention allows DESI to be performed without need for careful control of the geometry of the sprayer and MS-inlet capillary positions and angles relative to the sample surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems enhance the accuracy of the global positioning system (GPS) using a low earth orbiting (LEO) satellite constellation. According to embodiments described herein, GPS data is received from GPS satellites at a GPS control segment and is used to create GPS correction data to be utilized by user equipment to correct errors within the GPS data. The GPS  correction data is transmitted from the GPS control segment to a LEO ground segment, where it is uplinked to the LEO satellite constellation. To account for bandwidth constraints and minimize any performance degradation of the LEO satellites, the GPS  correction data is broadcast to earth on a subset of the total number of available spot beams. The subset of spot beams is selected in part according to satellite angular velocity, bandwidth constraints, and message latency estimates.

Abstract: An object is to provide a wheel speed detecting device with a countermeasure against entrance of mud water. An annular recess groove is provided in an outer circumference of an end portion of a hub on a sensor side. Moreover, a cup- shaped flange portion extends from the sensor supporting member, the flange portion covering the annular recess groove while maintaining a predetermined gap T1 between the flange portion and the outer circumference of the end portion of the hub. Mud water heads toward a multi-pole magnet ring by running through the gap T1 formed between the flange portion and the outer circumference of the hub. However, entrance of mud water can be effectively prevented by making the gap T1 small. Mud water still entering the gap T1 is trapped in the annular recess groove.

Abstract: The present invention is specifically directed to a heart occlusion device with a self-centering mechanism. The heart occlusion device includes two separate uniquely shaped wires (12, 14, 12A, 14A) each forming shapes that mirror the respective wire's shapes. Each wire forms half-discs or quarter-discs (12B, 12B', 14B, 14B') that together form a distal disc (16) and a proximal disc (18). In other versions, the device includes four separate wires, each mirroring its neighboring wire and forming a proximal and a distal quarter-disc.  In the versions with four wires, the quarter-discs of each wire together form proximal and distal discs.  The distal disc and proximal disc are separated by a self-centering waist (12C,14C). The proximal disc is attached to a hub (30) comprising a screw mechanism. A similar hub is optional on the distal disc. The discs further include coverings which form a sealant to occlude an aperture in a tissue.  The wires forming the discs have a shape-memory capability such that they can be collapsed and distorted in a catheter during delivery but resume and maintain their intended shape after delivery.
