The subject invention provides a drug delivery device for injecting medicament which includes: a tubular reservoir; a stopper slidably disposed in the reservoir; a spring for moving the stopper in the reservoir; at least one needle, the needle having a distal end for insertion into a patient, and a lumen extending proximally from the distal end, the lumen being in direct or indirect communication with the reservoir; a needle driver for displacing the needle; and, an actuator. Activation of the actuator causes the spring to move the stopper and the needle driver to displace the needle. The needle moves relative to, and separately from, the reservoir with the needle being displaced. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a drug delivery device is provided wherein a needle is moved, relative to the reservoir, in being displaced for injection. This permits control of the needle displacement separate from the reservoir.

A traffic manager for a network switch input or output port stores incoming cells in a cell memory and later sends each cell out of its cell memory toward one of a set of forwarding resources such as, for example, another switch port or an output bus. Data in each cell references the particular forwarding resource to receive the cell. Each cell is assigned to one of several flow queues such that all cells assigned to the same flow queue are to be sent to the same forwarding resource. The traffic manager maintains a separate virtual output queue (VOQ) associated with each forwarding resource and periodically loads a flow queue (FQ) number identifying each flow queue into the VOQ associated with the forwarding resource that is to receive the cells assigned to that FQ. The traffic manager also periodically shifts an FQ ID out of each non-empty VOQ and forwards the longest-stored cell assigned to that FQ from the cell memory toward its intended forwarding resource. The traffic manager separately determines the rates at which it loads FQ IDs into VOQs and the rates at which it shifts FQ IDs out of each non-empty VOQ. Thus the traffic manager is able to separately control the rate at which cells of each flow queue are forwarded and the rate at which each forwarding resource receives cells.

A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a display panel configured to be formed by arranging pixels like a matrix, a light source configured to light the display panel, and a driving control means for controlling the display panel, wherein the pixels are transreflective type liquid crystal pixels having a reflective part and a transmissive part driven independently, and the driving control means is configured to separately control non-image periods of the reflective part and transmissive part.

The invention relates to an electrophoretic color display panel, the display panel comprising at least one pixel (10, 12), the at least one pixel (10, 12) comprising a layer cavity (18ab) containing a suspension with a first set of charged particles (24a) having a first optical property and a second set of charged particles (24b) having a second optical property, and a pair of control electrodes (20a, 20b) arranged adjacent to the layer cavity (18ab), such that charged particles (24a, 24b) are essentially in-plane displaceable in an in-plane direction within the layer cavity (18ab) upon application of a control voltage over the electrode pair, wherein the in-plane distribution of charged particles (24a, 24b) having first and second optical properties in the layer cavity (18ab) depends on at least one of a differing control property additional to any polarity difference of the charged particles (24a, 24b) for each set of charged particles, or at least one additional electrode arranged adjacent to the layer cavity, wherein the electrode pair (20a, 20b) and the at least one additional control electrode are arranged essentially outside of a viewing area (26) of the at least one pixel (10, 12), such that a composite optical property of at least a portion of the at least one pixel (10, 12) is controllable. According to the invention, the control electrodes will be arranged at essentially the outer ends, or arranged in-plane, at a peripheral, of a prolonged layer cavity, such that the particles move in an in-plane direction within the layer cavity when the control voltage is applied. This facilitates the handling of the pixel since the layer cavity can be reached from essentially the outside of the pixel. Another advantage is that since only a minor part of the pixel area has to be covered with an electrode material the total transmission and thus the brightness of the pixel can be optimized.

An interrupt controller 2 is provided with priority registers 6 storing priority values P0-P9 used to determine prioritisation between received interrupt signals I0-I9. A priority value accessing circuit 10 provides multiple mappings to the priority values stored in dependence upon the priority value manager 16, 18, seeking to make an access. In this way, a first priority value manager 18, such as a secure operating system, can be given exclusive access to the highest priority values whilst a second priority value manager 16, such as a non-secure operating system, can be given access to a range of priority values as stored which are of a lower priority and yet as written or read by the non-secure operating system appear to the non-secure operating system to have a different, such as higher, priority level.

An implantable cardiac stimulation device and associated method capable of delivering non-invasive programmed stimulation for electrophysiological testing in which the onset of the non-invasive programmed stimulation is triggered by a cardiac event, either a detected intrinsic event or a stimulated event, occurring in the heart chamber to be tested. When a non-invasive programmed stimulation command is received by the implanted device, it switches to a routine that allows transition to a non-invasive programmed stimulation from a standard operating mode, during a refractory period. The stimulation device also provides a recovery delay following the last pulse of a non-invasive programmed stimulation sequence. If no intrinsic activity is detected during the recovery delay, a refractory period is started following the expiration of the recovery delay. During this refractory period, a transition from the non-invasive programmed stimulation state machine back to the standard stimulation state machine is accomplished.
