Abstract:
Systems for providing dual resolution control of display panels are provided. A representative system incorporates two pairs of shift registers, each of the shift registers outputting a shifting signal; two pairs of logic gates; and a switching network coupled among the shifting registers and the logic gates. In a low resolution mode, the switching network causes the shift registers to output shifting signals, with corresponding pulses of the shifting signals of the shift registers of the first pair temporally overlapping with corresponding pulses of the shifting signals of the shift registers of the second pair; and wherein, responsive to the shifting signals, the logic gates output panel control signals, with corresponding pulses of the panel control signals of the logic gates of the first pair not temporally overlapping with corresponding pulses of the panel control signals of the logic gates of the second pair.
Abstract:
A fan capable of increasing pressure of fluid provides a hub and fan blades. The hub has a flat facial end and a circumferential side. The fan blades extend radially from the circumferential side of the hub. Each of the fan blades has a joining end being attached to the circumferential side and a free end extending outward the hub and a front edge and a rear edge being between the joining end and the free end. The rear edge of the respective fan blade is shielded by the front edge of another fan blade next to it and the unshielded portion of the respective fan blade has an area gradually increases from the joining end to the free end such that the pressure of fluid at the free end is greater than that at the joining end.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an open and interoperable single sign-on session in a heterogeneous communication network. The open and interoperable single sign-on system is configured by exchanging an entity identifier, an account mapping, an attribute mapping, a site attribute list, an action mapping and/or the like. The entity identifier, account mapping, attribute mapping, site attribute list, action mapping and the like for each partner entity is stored in a partner list accessable to the particular entity. Thereafter, the open and interoperable single sign-on session may be provided upon receipt of a SAML request or assertion containing an entity identifier. The entity identifier contained in the SAML request or assertion is looked-up in the partner list of the particular entity which received the SAML request or assertion. A record containing a matching entity identifier provides the applicable account mapping, attribute mapping, site attribute list, and/or action mapping. The one or more mappings are then utilized to process the SAML request or assertion.
Abstract:
Methods of mixing delivering biocompatible cement, paste, putty, or gel for bone and cartilage repair are described in this invention. Powder-like solid materials are loaded into a first syringe. Liquids are loaded into one or multiple syringes. The liquids are injected into the first syringe containing the solid materials. To force the liquids through the solid, prevent bubble formation and provide intimate intermixing, the liquids are injected in the very proximity of the plunger end of the syringe containing the solid materials. The first syringe is preferably held vertical with the tip facing up so as to avoid bubble formation that in turn could cause back-pressure build-up and plug the first syringe during injection. The described methods of mixing the liquids with the solids allows to form a rheological paste, cement, putty, or gel in the first syringe. As injection into the human or animal body proceeds, the paste then flows without complications often caused by entrapped bubbles or improper/heterogeneous mixing. The preparation and injection processes can be conducted at temperatures that do not damage live tissue or denature proteins. The paste, cement, putty, or gel can be injected into bone through the cannula by hand or with a pressurizing system. The method reduces the amount of time needed to prepare the paste and load it into the syringe and provides a device that is easily prepared for injection.
Abstract:
An improved pre-filled disposable pipette (10) consisting of a hollow tube (12) dimensioned to enclose a medicinal product and having attached a medication transfer tube (22) from where the pipette is filled and the medicinal product released. The improvement consists in having a primary grasping tab (32) attached to an upper end (14) of the bulb (12); a secondary grasping tab (38) attached to each side of the tube (22); and a support tab (52) also attached to each side of the tube (22) near the lower end (26) of the tube (22). The primary and secondary grasping tabs (32, 38) allow the pipette (10) to be conveniently and easily handled without having to grasp the sensitive bulb (12) or to directly grasp the tube (22). The support tab (52) functions to allow the pipette (10) to be placed on a conveyor rack apparatus (88) from where the pipette (10) can be automatically filled and sealed by a cap (72) or heat applied foil (82).
Abstract:
An access control database defines access rights through the use of access control objects. The access control objects include group objects, each defining a group and a set of users who are members of the group, and rule objects. Some of the rule objects each specify a set of the group objects, a set of the management objects, and access rights by the users who are members of the groups defined by the specified set of the group objects to the specified set of management objects. A plurality of access control servers are used to process access requests. Each access control server controls access to a distinct subset of the management objects in accordance with the access rights specified in the access control database. At least one of the access control servers receives access requests from the users and distributes the received access requests among the access control servers for processing. A subset of the access requests specify operations to be performed on specified sets of the management objects. Each of these access requests is sent for processing to one or more of the access control servers in accordance with the management objects to which access is being requested. The access control servers responding to the access requests from the users by granting, denying and partially granting and denying the access requested in each access request in accordance with the access rights specified in the access control database.

Abstract:
A method for producing web page content includes identifying blocks within a web page. The blocks are selectively assembled into sections. The sections are selectively assembled into article candidates. An article candidate that includes article content is distinguished from article candidates that do not include article content. Content is produced only from the article candidate distinguished as including article content.
