A transceiver is provided that can adapt itself to operate as an RF tag reader or as a bluetooth transceiver by changing its reception and transmission capabilities. The cost and area of an additional transceiver where both a bluetooth transceiver and an RF tag reader are required is avoided. The same radio part is used for both bluetooth and for RF tag reader operation. Since the operation band is the same, there is no need to change the center frequency of the resonance needed by the radio front-end. Software controlled adaptivity is included due to the different nature of these systems so that the mode of the radio hardware can be programmed easily and on the fly. This provides a software defined architecture tailored for bluetooth/RF tag operation. This invention integrates two different systems to one transceiver chip giving cost and space savings by reusing existing analog parts.

A system including a central server and a database for performing Intellectual Property (IP) management workflow processes is provided for creating, defining, and performing IP related workflow process. IP workflow routines present via a graphical user interface workflow screens to facilitate the exchange of data and instructions. An administration module is used to create authorized user accounts and assign roles and privileges involved in execution of IP workflow routines. A workflow creation module generates a user interface to facilitate creation of a user-defined IP workflow routine having user-defined workflow tasks to process IP related data received via user interface workflow screens. An IP management application may access, process and modify IP related data stored at the database while the IP workflow routines access and process IP related data stored at the database simultaneously with execution of the IP management application. Task modifiers associated with user-defined workflow tasks further define workflow routine operation.

Virtual reality-based adaptive systems and methods are disclosed for improving the delivery of physical therapy and rehabilitation. The invention comprises an interactive software solution for tracking, monitoring and logging user performance wherever sensor capability is present. To provide therapists with the ability to observe and analyze different motion characteristics from the exercises performed by patients, novel visualization techniques are provided for specific solutions. These visualization techniques include color-coded therapist-customized visualization features for motion analysis.

A parameterized scene graph provides mutable (animated) values and parameterized graph containers such that an application program or the like can selectively change certain aspects of the scene graph description while leaving other aspects intact, and also reuse portions of the scene graph with different parameters. To this end, mutable values are provided, which provide the higher level code with hooks into the scene graph enabling the scene description to be changed. The mutable values may be varied over time to provide animation. A parameterized graph container is also described that enables a scene graph portion to be templatized for reuse throughout a scene in a generic way. In this manner, a single parameterized graph container may be efficiently reused in a scene graph, with different values for its parameters.

A solution to be treated containing monatin and impurities is treated with a nonpolar resin having aromatic rings, whereby monatin is separated from the solution. Treatment with the nonpolar resin having aromatic rings results in efficient separation of monatin under a mild pH condition.

The present invention is related to systems and methods that parse and/or translate inbound messages into outbound messages such that disparate computer systems can communicate intelligibly. In one embodiment, a system recursively parses the inbound message such that relatively fewer outbound message structure definitions are required and advantageously decreases the usage of resources by the system. Further, one system in accordance with the present invention allows an operator to configure the identity of a delimiter in the inbound message. The delimiter can span multiple characters and includes the logical inverse of a set of delimiters. The outbound message can be accessed at nodes within a hierarchy, as well as at leaves. Thus, a user need not know the precise location of data within the outbound message. A set of updating rules further permits the updating of an outbound message without having to re-parse an entire inbound message.

A signal strength that is associated with a first wireless communications channel is detected. Electromagnetic energy is transmitted over the first wireless communications channel in response to the signal strength being sufficiently weak. A determination is made whether a handoff should be made to a second wireless communications channel having a signal that is weaker than a signal of the first wireless communications channel.

The present invention provides thermoplastic roofing membranes comprising particles of crosslinked rubber and an aqueous (co)polymer dispersion. The thermoplastic roofing membranes are formed by combining particles of crosslinked rubber and a suspension polymer dispersion, or a coagulated aqueous latex (co)polymer dispersion, to form a mixture in aqueous dispersion, which aqueous dispersion mixture is subjected to solid state shear pulverization to form materials that can be processed as thermoplastics at crosslinked rubber concentrations of from 10 wt.% to as high as 95 wt.%, based on the total solids of the material. The method may further comprise kneading the pulverized product, followed by extrusion to form roofing membranes.

A power recycling method and apparatus for driving capacitive display elements are described. The driving process involves charging and discharging the display elements. More particularly, the method effectively reuses some of the energy during the discharging process. Energy in display elements flows back from the panel to a power supply and other optionally to devices like RAM, MCU directly during the discharging process. Diodes between one or more power supplies and the display elements ensure that the discharge paths are disconnected when the voltage of display elements drops below the voltage of the power supply. A resistor path from the display elements to ground or a power supply lower than the display threshold voltage of the display elements guarantees that elements are turned OFF after the discharge process.
