A security system to create and maintain a secure communication link between a remote secure storage site and a law enforcement office using a continuous prearranged encrypted signal on the communication link. The authenticity of the encrypted signal is validated at the law enforcement office. Interruption of the encrypted signal is treated as an alarm that must be investigated. Sensors at the remote secure storage site detect intrusions and trigger the transmission of an alarm signal from the site to the law enforcement office on the communication link. The law enforcement office may enable video cameras or containment devices in the event of an intrusion.

Apparatuses and methods for managing route navigation via mobile devices. A route is calculated between a starting point and a destination point. The route is divided into multiple segments based on the complexity of the calculated route, and navigation features are controlled as a function of the segment that corresponds to the user's current location. The user may opt to identify one or more segments, or one or more route portions independent of whether or not segmentation has occurred, in order to specify a portion(s) of the route where navigation support is not needed.

A system and method is provided for cooling a gaming machine. The cooling system includes an air flow assembly which draws fresh air from outside the gaming machine. The air flow assembly provides the fresh air to a set of ducts. The set of ducts channel the fresh air to one or more internal components of the gaming machine. The cooling system may also include an inlet duct to channel air from outside the machine to the air flow assembly and filters for cleaning the air entering the gaming machine.

Methods and compositions comprising combinations of one or more anti-connexin agents and one or more other agents useful for the promotion and/or improvement of wound healing and/or tissue repair.

A catheter cleaner comprising a head, rod, and a handle is provided. The head, rod and handle may be fixedly attached to each other such that manipulation of the handle may also control movement of the head, both in the linear direction as well as a rotational movement. The head may define a tip and cutting edges. The tip may have a curved configuration which may be operative to assist in the insertion of the cleaner into and indwelling catheter and, the cutting edges may be operative to dislodge debris from an inside wall of the indwelling catheter. Moreover, the tip may be used to push against debris lodged or attached to the inside wall of the indwelling catheter to dislodge the same.

An attenuation power control mechanism which changes opening of orifices 46, 47 of a piston 25 fitted into a cylinder 22 includes first and second valve plates 37, 38, and first and second coils 44, 45 which generate magnetic fields, whereby the first and second valve plates 37, 38 are deformed by the magnetic fields generated by the first and second coils 44, 45 to change the opening of the orifices 46, 47, so that the attenuation power of the damper can be controlled arbitrarily. At this time, the first valve plate 37 is deformed by the corresponding first coil 44, and the second valve plate 38 is deformed by the corresponding second coil 45.

Loss of decoding time prior to the vertical synchronization signal when motion video is arbitrarily scaled and positioned by placing the frame switch point at the completion of frame decoding and synchronizing the bottom border of the scaled image therewith while maintaining low latency of decoded data. High latency operation is provided only when necessitated by minimal spill buffer capacity and in combination with fractional image size reduction in the decoding path in order to maintain image resolution without requiring additional memory.

The invention relates to a method for constructing an energy-saving disk array of vertical configuration distribution check, which is suitable for continuous data storage and belongs to the technical field of redundant arrays of independent disks. Aiming at the characteristics of continuous data storage, an energy-saving disk array S-RAID 5 of the vertical configuration distribution check is designed. The method mainly comprises the steps of: distributing storage data in the S-RAID 5, reading and writing the storage data, checking a generation mode of the data, buffering, and prereading and optimizing the data when the data is written, switching and scheduling work states of a disk, and the like. The disk array S-RAID 5 has a better redundant data protecting mechanism, and can remarkably reduce the power consumption and prolong the service life.

An image forming apparatus and a communication connection method thereof. The communication connection method includes: receiving, by a first image forming apparatus, packet information from a second image forming apparatus; measuring, by the first image forming apparatus, a signal strength of the received packet information; and changing a connection reference strength of the first image forming apparatus based on the measured signal strength.

The invention discloses a method for synchronizing the time of a wireless sensor network and belongs to the technical field of the wireless sensor network. The method comprises the following steps that: 1) a central node broadcasts synchronization information to a network at a specific time interval and starts a synchronization process; 2) after receiving the synchronization information, a sensornode synchronizes time with a source node of the synchronization information and broadcasts the synchronization information thereof to the network when a channel is free; and 3) after each synchronization process is completed, the sensor node predicts the working frequency of a crystal oscillator configured per se in the current period by a winters method and corrects the logic time thereof according to the prediction result till the start of the next synchronization process. Compared with the prior art, the method can greatly prolong the time interval of period synchronization and reduce synchronization expense and the occupying of a wireless channel and improve the synchronization precision among nodes.

Devices, systems and methods of reduced-power imaging. For example, a device includes: an imager able to acquire one or more images; a triggering sensor able to sense a triggering event; and a receiver able to receive signals, wherein while the device is in a disarm mode the receiver is operational and the imager and the triggering sensor are not operational.

Methods and compositions comprising an anti-ostepontin agent and/or a PDGF receptor blocker or antagonist, alone or in combination with one or more anti-connexin agents, for example, one or more anti-connexin polynucleotides and/or one or more anti-connexin peptides or peptidomimetics, are provided for the promotion and/or improvement of wound healing and/or tissue repair, and for anti-scarring, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrosis and anti-adhesion indications.

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and apparatus for establishing a connection between devices. The method includes the steps of sending a broadcast packet according to a current set time interval when disconnection with a target device is detected; prolonging the current set time interval if no request message sent by the target device is received within set time to avoid power consumption increasing of a source device Bluetooth module in a high-frequency broadcast state for a long time, reduce the power consumption of the source device Bluetooth module and prolong the service life of the Bluetooth module; updating the prolonged time interval to be a current set time interval, returning to perform the operation of broadcast packet sending according to the current set time interval, and then reducing the time interval of broadcast packet sending to improve the speed of the connection between the source device and the target device capable of being connected if a request message sent by the target device is received within the new set time.
