An electrophoretic medium (100) comprises at least one type of particle (108) suspended in a suspending fluid (106) and capable of moving therethrough on application of an electric field to the medium, the particles (108) including at least one electrophoretically mobile specularly reflective particle.

The invention is a method and apparatus for controlling electronic devices from a remote location. The method and apparatus utilizes a remote control device which receives and transmits voice commands as electrical signals to at least one controlled device having a recognition processor which converts received electrical signals to pattern data and compares that pattern data with data stored in the processor. The invention may incorporate the use of a recorder for recording electrical signals in the remote or controlled device and may further include a teaching circuit for retrieving and reproducing voice commands as visual or audio prompts as needed. The invention may be adapted to control multiple controlled devices in coordination so that each coordinated device is made to perform the same or a different function in response to a single voice command is disclosed.

It is an object to provide a semiconductor device with less power consumption as a semiconductor device including a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor layer. It is an object to provide a semiconductor device with high reliability as a semiconductor device including a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor layer. In the semiconductor device, a gate electrode layer (a gate wiring layer) intersects with a wiring layer which is electrically connected to a source electrode layer or a drain electrode layer with an insulating layer which covers the oxide semiconductor layer of the thin film transistor and a gate insulating layer interposed therebetween. Accordingly, the parasitic capacitance formed by a stacked-layer structure of the gate electrode layer, the gate insulating layer, and the source or drain electrode layer can be reduced, so that low power consumption of the semiconductor device can be realized.

A method, system and program are disclosed for accelerating data storage in a cache appliance cluster that transparently monitors NFS and CIFS traffic between clients and NAS subsystems and caches files in a multi-rank flash DIMM cache memory by pipelining multiple page write and page program operations to different flash memory ranks, thereby improving write speeds to the flash DIMM cache memory.

The invention discloses an electronic cigarette which comprises a cigarette-like shell with a hollow cavity, an electrical source, a cigarette pellet and cigarette rod fittings. The electrical source, a pneumatic switch, a magnetostrictive vibrator and an electromagnetic induction heater are arranged in sequence inside the shell from the front end to the back end; wherein, a high frequency generator is respectively connected with the magnetostrictive vibrator, the electromagnetic induction heater and the pneumatic switch through leads. A light-emitting diode is arranged at the front end of the shell and is respectively connected with the pneumatic switch and the electric source through leads. The back end of the shell is connected with the cigarette pellet in which a tobacco solution chamber is arranged.

An antenna system that includes a plurality of lens sets. Each lens set includes a lens and at least one feed element. At least one feed element is aligned with the lens and configured to direct a signal through the lens at a desired direction.

Methods of using unidirectionally propagating action potentials (UPAPs) for cavernous nerve stimulation and for certain disorders are provided. Stimulators capable of creating such UPAPs include, but are not limited to, miniature implantable stimulators (i.e., microstimulators), possibly with programmably configurable electrodes.

In a system comprising a transient storage device (TSD) or other type of peripheral configured for communication with a host device, a first one-time password or other type of code is generated in the peripheral and transmitted to the host device. The first code is presented by the host device to an authentication server for authentication. The host device receives a second one-time password or other type of code from the authentication server and transmits it to the peripheral for authentication.

The invention provides an electric oven and an oil fume odor purification device control method. The electric oven comprises a cavity and an oil fume odor purification device which comprises a draughtfan and a filter screen used for filtering oil fume and odor, an exhaust port is formed in the cavity wall of the cavity, the filter screen is installed at the exhaust port, and the draught fan is installed near the filter screen and used for discharging the oil fume in the cavity out of the cavity from the exhaust port and makes the oil fume flow through the filter screen. According to the screen, the oil fume odor purification device of the electric oven comprises the draught fan and the filter screen, the filter screen is installed at the exhaust port of the cavity, in the food heating process of the electric oven, the draught fan works to make gas in the cavity pass through the exhaust port and the filter screen, the filter screen filters out the oil fume and odor in the gas, and filtered gas enters a room and cannot pollute indoor air, so that bad feeling cannot be brought to a user, and the degree of satisfaction of the user on products can be improved.

The digital video referencing frame image is compressed block by block by applying lossless compression algorithm to pixel components with full length, or 1 bit, 2 bits, 3 bits or 4 bits LSB bits truncation. If a sub-block has high complexity which results in more than 3 bits error for most pixel components, a transfer algorithm with quantization and VLC coding is applied to compress this sub-block. Should the complexity is higher than a threshold or at least one sub-block having error of more than 3 bits for most pixel components, truncating 1 LSB bit of sub-block with simple pattern to save more bits to be allocate to code the sub-block with highest complex pattern.

In a wireless communication system having a base station and a terminal, it is important to extend the operating life of the terminal in the case of using a battery as the power supply of the terminal. Particularly in the case where a state in which a base station is not present in the range within which the terminal can communicate lasts long, the reduction of the electric power consumption during the standby of the terminal becomes an issue. The terminal monitors the received signal power strength of a signal transmitted by the base station. When the power strength exceeds a prescribed value, it is considered that the base station is present and the base station performs operations for carrying out communication with the base station.
