A communication method for transmitting Ethernet messages in a distributed real-time system in which a plurality of network node computers, e.g. four network node computers (111, 112, 113, 114), each comprising at least one communication controller (121, 122, 123, 124), are linked via a communication system comprising one or more communication channels (109), one or more intelligent star couplers (101, 102) being disposed in each communication channel. According to the invention, a distinction is made between conventional Ethernet messages (ET messages) and time-triggered Ethernet messages (TT messages), the TT messages being transported with an a priori known constant delay time (Δ) between transmitter and receiver, and, when there is a time conflict between ET and TT messages, the transport of the ET message that is in conflict being delayed or aborted in order to be able to transport the TT message with the constant delay time (Δ). Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding communication system and a star coupler for such a communication system.

A method and apparatus for resetting a valve lift for use in an engine brake. A brake piston (160), and a hydraulic fluid passage (214) are arranged within a rocker arm (210) or a valve bridge (400) of an engine. A resetting valve arranged between the rocker arm (210) and the valve bridge (400) is driven by a change in the distance between the rocker arm (210) and the valve bridge (400). When the valve lift of an engine exhaust valve (300) reaches a maximum, a reset fluid passage (219) is opened, the hydraulic pressure within the hydraulic fluid passage is released, the brake piston (160) is reversed by one interval, the motion transmission between a cam (230) and the engine exhaust valve (300) is partially disengaged, and the valve lift of the engine exhaust valve (300) is reduced. Also, during a returning process of the valve lift of the engine exhaust valve (300) after reaching the maximum position, repositioning of the reset valve is used to maintain a supply of pressure within the hydraulic fluid passage, the brake piston (160) is allowed to be positioned at an extended position, and the motion transmission between the cam (230) and the engine exhaust valve (300) is resumed. The apparatus for resetting the valve lift can be integrated within an engine exhaust valve brake, and is structurally simple, convenient to install and to adjust, thereby improving safety and reliability.

This invention provides a mass spectrometry probe including a substrate having a surface and a hydrophobic coating that coats the surface. The hydrophobic coating includes openings that define features for the presentation of an analyte. The hydrophobic coating also has a lower surface tension that the features on the substrate surface, and has a water contact angle between 115° and 140°.

A speaker includes a speaker main body and attachment parts arranged to attach the speaker main body to an electronic apparatus such as a television. The speaker is attached to the electronic apparatus as a result of fitted holes in the attachment parts being fitted over projections on the electronic apparatus. Each of the attachment members includes a metal plate integral with a frame of the speaker main body and a rearward extension part that is bent from a side edge of the frame toward a back of the speaker main body and an inward extension part that is bent from the rearward extension part toward an inside of the speaker main body. Portions of the inward extension parts overlap with the speaker main body on the back side of the speaker main body. The fitted holes are provided in the inward extension parts.

The present invention provides a gesture recognition sensor and an operating method thereof. The gesture recognition sensor comprises a phase-locked loop PLL in which waveform programming can be carried out, a voltage-controlled oscillator VCO, a transmitting antenna, receiving antennas, a mixer, an intermediate frequency analog circuit, an analog-to-digital converter ADC and a signal processing module; the voltage-controlled oscillator VCO is connected with the phase-locked loop PLL and the transmitting antenna; the mixer is connected with the receiving antennas and one terminal of the intermediate frequency analog circuit; and the analog-to-digital converter ADC is connected with the other terminal of the intermediate frequency analog circuit and the signal processing module. A recognition method complete different from a traditional gesture recognition sensor is adopted by the sensor, and the sensor has high reliability and recognition precision.

A slide mechanism includes a rear cover, and a front cover slidably attached to the rear cover. One of the rear cover and the front cover defines two sliding grooves, the other forms two sliding rails slidably engaged in the sliding grooves. An elastic portion is formed on one of the rear cover and the front cover, and abuts against the other of the rear cover and the front cover, thereby enabling the sliding rails to tightly contact with said surfaces of the sliding grooves.

Method and compositions for improving DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase reactions are provided. Addition of anti-foam reagents to the reactions improves fluid handling, especially of small volumes and allows enhanced accuracy of optical detection, without substantially inhibiting enzymatic activity.

A target value that serves as a control value with feed forward control is optimized. A TL performs a feed forward and a feedback control of a PM. A storage unit stores a plurality of recipes indicating different processing sequences, and a target value that serves as a control value when performing an etching process. A communication unit causes an IMM to measure a processing state of the wafer and receives measurement information. A computation unit computes a feedback value for the current wafer processed in the current cycle, based on pre-processing and post-processing measurement information for the wafer. An update unit updates the target value using the feedback value. A recipe adjustment unit changes the recipe to change the process performed in the same PM. When the process is performed after changing, the updated target value is used to perform feed forward control of the wafer in the same PM.

The present invention relates to a method for analysing the amount of free gas within a pharmaceutical sample. According to the invention the method comprises the following steps: providing a sample before an irradiating source; irradiating the sample with at least one beam of electromagnetic radiation; detecting radiation emitted through the sample and generating signals corresponding to the amount of free gas in the sample, and correlating the generated signals to at least one solid state parameter of the sample.

A semiconductor device fabrication method applies a diazo novolac photoresist to a semiconductor wafer, followed by light exposure of its entire surface to form an underlying resist layer; forms a surface resist layer thereover; performs patterned-light exposure and heat treatment to the photoresist film consisting of the two resist layers formed; and exposes its entire surface to light, followed by development to process the photoresist film into a resist pattern, where the surface resist layer is in an inverse tapered shape, while the underlying resist layer is in an undercut shape relative to the surface resist layer.

An quantitative ZAP-70 assay is provided, with ZAP-70+ and ZAP-70− controls, normal human blood controls, an improved antibody with better signal to noise ratio, and using the median MEFL that is calibrated using a standard curve.

A location predicting unit predicts a composing location based on the composing locations corresponding to partial images of one-frame-before and two-frames-before the current partial image on an assumption that the above partial image moves at a constant speed, and gives the above predicted value to a combining unit as an initial value. The combining unit moves locations of the current partial image and the one-frame-before partial image pixel by pixel in a predetermined direction starting from the initial value and combines the above partial images each other. A picture element comparing unit and a location determining unit calculate the cumulative value of the brightness differentials between picture elements of the current partial image and the one-frame-before partial image in the overlapped part with respect to each of the combining locations. In the above operation, the calculation of the cumulative value corresponding to the currently-calculated combining location is finished when the above currently-calculated cumulative value exceeds the cumulative value corresponding to the already-calculated combining location.
