Abstract: A clothes hanger formed from a single continuous strip of material shaped to define a pair of substantially co-planar arms. The arms are configured for supporting clothes and are disposed symmetrically with respect to a bridging piece interconnecting the arms and which is upstanding above the clothes-supporting surfaces of the arms. The bridging piece defines a re-entrant rail-receiving slot having a relatively narrow mouth disposed between the arms so that the hanger may be suspended by the bridging piece when engaged with a rail entered into the slot through the mouth thereof.

Abstract: An integrated digital loop carrier (IDLC) system includes digital line feeders and signal processors to interface with the feeders an to ultimately provide data to subscriber instruments. The system can be employed as a central office terminal (COT) or remote digital terminal (RDT) with analog, T1 or SONET feeders and any conventional link medium. Data are put in DS1 format and multiplexed onto token ring optical loops for delivery to banks of channel units wherein the optical signals are translated to electrical signals for delivery to the Cus and subscribers. A method and apparatus is provided for mapping and demapping signals between virtual tributaries (VT) and digital signal formats in the RDT of an integrated digital loop carrier. An application-specific circuit provides such mapping and demapping functions as Floating Byte Synchronous VT to Locked Byte Synchronous VT, Floating Asynchronous VT to Locked Byte Synchronous VT, Floating Asynchronous VT to Floating Asynchronous VT, DS1 to Locked Byte Synchronous VT, DS1 to Floating Asynchronous VT, and DS1 to Floating Byte Synchronous VT.

Abstract: A system implements dishonest policies for managing unauthorized access requests. The system includes memory management hardware to store a set of dishonest policy bits, each dishonest policy bit that is configured to a predetermined value indicating disallowed access for one of a set of memory ranges. When a processor receives an access request for a location in a memory range to which access is not allowed as indicated by a set dishonest policy bit, the processor returns a false indication according to a dishonest policy that the requested access has been performed.

The method comprises the steps of exposing the sample to a transducer having a pyroelectric or piezoelectric element and electrodes which is capable of transducing a change in energy to an electrical signal, the transducer having at least one reagent proximal thereto, the reagent having a binding site which is capable of binding the analyte or a complex or derivative of the analyte, wherein at least one of the analyte or the complex or derivative of the analyte has a label attached thereto which is capable of absorbing the electromagnetic radiation generated by the radiation source to generate energy by non-radiative decay; irradiating the reagent with a series of pulses of electromagnetic radiation, transducing the energy generated into an electrical signal, detecting the electrical signal and the time delay between each pulse of electromagnetic radiation from the radiation source and the generation of the electric signal. The time delay between each of the pulses of electromagnetic radiation and the generation of the electric signal corresponds to the position of the analyte at any of one or more positions at different distances from the surface of the transducer. The label is a nanoparticle comprising polypyrrole or a derivative thereof. The invention also provides a kit suitable for performing this method.
