A method and system for identifying alternate contact information of a specific type; particularly, by providing an inputted Email address in a query, one or more alternate Email addresses can be returned to the query, using an automated database. The system is queried using an entity's known Email address, which, in turn, is associated with other contact information for the entity, such as name and postal address, and the other contact information is then used to identify alternative Email addresses for the targeted entity either at the time of the query or in preparation of the database, and the alternative Email address(es) are then outputted to the requestor from the system. The method uses knowledge of contact points of different types for the same entity to identify alternate contact points of a single type, within a database of contact information.

The invention discloses a method for detecting and tracking obstacles in front of a vehicle, aiming to overcome the defect and shortage in detection and tracking of obstacles in front of the vehicle by using a single-type sensor.

A universal computer event translator, which can be implemented as a computer program for execution on a personal computer, handheld device, or other computer processing platform, provides configurable event translation to map essentially any type of computer input event into essentially any other type(s) of computer input event. The program detects occurrences of desired types of input events, which may be generated via a particular input device, a timer, or another program or processing running on the computer, and provides rules-based translation processing of those events. For example, the program can translate mouse events into keyboard events, MIDI or other port events into mouse or keyboard events, or into custom events. One incoming input event can spawn one or more translated input events of one or more types; conversely, different types of incoming input events can be mapped to a single type or multiple types of translated input events.

A method and system allows a device driver to obtain the status of a device that may exhibit one of two distinct behaviors in responding to status requests that designate a plurality of event types associated with a device. Devices exhibiting the first behavior respond to the status requests by providing the status for the highest priority event type designated in the status request. Device exhibiting the second behavior respond to the status requests by providing the status for the highest priority event type that has undergone a status change. In one implementation, the device driver transmits a series of distinct status requests such that the status of all event types can be determined. In a related aspect of the invention, the device driver also analyzes the response message to determine if the device exhibits the second behavior type. When the second behavior type is detected, only a single type of status request is sent to obtain the status of all event types.

The invention relates to time-of-flight mass spectrometers for the measurement of daughter ion spectra (also called fragment ion spectra or MS / MS spectra) and corresponding measurement methods.According to the invention, the ions of an ion source are initially accelerated only to an intermediate level of energy, allowing them to decompose at that energy level by metastable decomposition or by collisionally induced fragmentation (CID). The ions are then accelerated in a second step to a high energy level. Light fragment ions gain a higher velocity than heavier fragment ions or non-decomposed parent ions. The spectrum of fragment ions can be detected separated by mass in either linear or reflector mode. An ion selector at the low energy level selects a single type of parent ion in order to avoid superpositions with fragment ions of other parent ions. A particularly preferred embodiment raises the potential of ions, for there second acceleration, during their flight through a small electrically isolated flight path chamber.

Information from multiple detectors acquiring different types of information is combined to determine one or more properties of a sample more efficiently than the properties could be determined using a single type of information from a single type of detector. In some embodiments, information is collected simultaneously from the different detectors which can greatly reduce data acquisition time. In some embodiments, information from different points on the sample are grouped based on information from one type of detector and information from the second type of detector related to these points is combined, for example, to create a single spectrum from a second detector of a region of common composition as determined by the first detector. In some embodiments, the data collection is adaptive, that is, the data is analyzed during collection to determine whether sufficient data has been collected to determine a desired property with the desired confidence.

An FPGA is laid out as a plurality of repeatable tiles, wherein the tiles are disposed in columns that extend from one side of the die to another side of the die, and wherein each column includes tiles primarily of one type. Because substantially all die area of a column is due to tiles of a single type, the width of the tiles of each column can be optimized and is largely independent of the size of the other types of tiles on the die. The confines of each type of tile can therefore be set to match the size of the circuitry of the tile. Rather than providing a ring of input / output blocks (IOBs) around the die periphery, IOB tiles are disposed in columns only. Where more than two columns worth of IOBs is required, more than two columns of IOB tiles can be provided.

A plurality of display portions are illuminated in different colors using a light source of a single type and a single light guide plate. A light source (220) has a light emitting element for emitting blue light, and a red fluorescent substance which is excited by blue light to generate red light, thereby emitting violet light (L1) as a whole.
