Abstract: A video storage system (10) includes a storage area network (12) and at least one local cache storage unit (14). Both the storage mechanism and the local cache storage unit store at least some content in common. In response to a read request, a read director (20) determine which of the storage mechanism and local cache storage unit contains the requested content. Upon determining that the requested content resides on the local cache storage unit, the read director directs the content request to the local cache storage unit, thereby reducing the demand on the storage mechanism. If the content does not reside on the local cache storage unit, read director directs the request to the storage mechanism, but if the content is unavailable, the content request will be filled with filler data from a filler data source (24).

Abstract: A SOI structure (10) and a method for its fabrication, in which a strained silicon layer (12) lies directly on an insulator layer (14). The method entails forming the silicon layer (12) on a strain-inducing layer (22) having a different lattice constant than silicon, to that the silicon layer (12) is strained as a result of the lattice mismatch with the strain-inducing layer (22). The resulting multilayer structure (18) is the bonded to a substrate (24) so that an insulating layer (14) is between the strained silicon layer (12) and the substrate (24), and so that the strained silicon layer (12) directly contacts the insulating layer (14). The strain-inducing layer (22) is then removed to yield a strained SOI structure (10) comprising the strained silicon layer (12) directly on the insulating layer (14), in which the strain in the silicon layer (12) is maintained by the SOI structure (10).

Abstract: A recessed fixture for mounting into an opening in a wall structure defining front and rear wall surfaces, comprises a pot defining a fixture chamber adapted to be received in the opening of the wall structure and having a peripheral wall, an end wall at one longitudinal end of the peripheral wall, and a peripheral flange at the other end thereof for abutment with the front wall surface of the wall structure. A clip is provided having a surface- abutting portion for abutting the rear surface of the wall and clip being movably mounted to the peripheral wall of the pot so as to reciprocate between a retracted position where the clip is located inside the fixture chamber and a clipping position where the surface-abutting portion is located outside the fixture chamber and abuts the rear surface of the wall structure when the pot is received in the opening of the wall structure and the peripheral flange contacts the front surface of the wall structure. A clip actuator is coupled to both the clip and the pot for reciprocatively moving the clip between the retracted position and the clipping position. The clip is configured and sized so that the recessed fixture can be mounted and secured in the opening using only one hand. The clip allows selectively clipping an unclipping of the pot in the opening.

Abstract: A sensor device is provided for detecting an analyte in a sample in which an analyte is bound to a detection reagent to form a bound complex. The device comprises (a) a sample (5) comprising an ionic analyte and a detection reagent in a conductive fluid, wherein the detection reagent has a net charge différent from the analyte; (b) a first permeable polymeric hydrogel plate (3) and a first spacer plate (8), which plates provide a compartment for the sample; (c) an anode (1) juxtaposed to the outside of the first hydrogel plate and not in contact with the sample; (d) a cathode (9) juxtaposed to the outside of the first spacer plate and not in contact with the sample; (e) a voltage generator (10) to apply an electric potential to the anode and cathode; and (f) a detector (11). The bound complex formed from the analyte and detection reagent is detected by the detector because the bound complex has a charge that causes it to migrate in a direction opposite from that of the unbound analyte when the electric potential is applied.
