Electro-optical modulator module for CO2 laser Q-switching, mode-locking, and cavity dumping

Various electro-optical modulator module designs are presented, which can provide for uniform, symmetric, and efficient heat removal for mode-locking, Q-switching, and/or cavity dumping operations. Heat can be uniformly extracted from an EO crystal without imposing undue stress, thereby preventing birefringence and laser beam degradation. A liquid-cooling approach can be used for high-duty operations, such as mode-locking operations. Efficient heat removal can prevent thermal run-away from electrical heating of the crystal due to the large drop in the electrical resistance of CdTe with increasing temperature when operated above 50° C. RF or video arcing and subsequent damage to the EO crystal can be prevented by surrounding the crystal with a low dielectric constant material that lowers the capacitance coupling to ground, while still maintaining good thermal cooling.

Controlling aluminium reduction cell operation

A B S T R A C T A method of determining the depth of the molten electrolyte layer in an aluminium electrolytic reduction cell, and using the measurement to control the operation of the cell, is based on the fact that when an anode is raised, the current passing through it drops to zero when the anode carbon face loses physical contact with the molten electrolyte. The method involves raising the anode and noting the distance travelled before the current falls to a predetermined fraction of its initial value. The method is well adapted to automatic control of electrolyte depth.

Method for synchronously binding an external behavior to a web page element

A new form of DHTML behaviors, called ˜Element Behaviors,” wherein a behavior component is bound to an HTML element, and not just attached to the element as with attached behaviors. A special processing instruction is used to import the Element Behavior into a Web page. Upon parsing the Web page, the Element Behavior is initialized as soon as it has been downloaded and parsed. This immediate initialization makes the Element Behavior declaratively available to bind synchronously to the element(s) it is modifying. A viewLink is a feature of Element Behaviors that permits encapsulation of a behavior component file (e.g., an HTC file) so that the structure of the HTC file is transparent to a Web page (˜primary document”) to which the HTC file is linked, but the content of the HTC file may be displayed in the primary document. The viewLink provides a pointer to the content in the encapsulated HTC file, and renders that content in the primary document, without incorporating the elements of the encapsulated HTC file into the primary document structure.

Electrokinetic concentration of charged molecules

A method for separating and concentrating charged species from uncharged or neutral species regardless of size differential. The method uses reversible electric field induced retention (135 and 130) of charged species, that can include molecules and molecular aggregates such as dimers, polymers, multimers, colloids, micelles, and liposomes, in volumes and on surfaces of porous materials (120). The retained charged species are subsequently quantitatively removed from the porous material by a pressure driven flow that passes through the retention volume and is independent of direction, thus, a multi-directional flow field is not required. Uncharged species pass through the system unimpeded thus effecting a complete separation of charged and uncharged species and making possible concentration factors greater than 1000-fold.

Compact twin piston pump

One of the slide plate parts (200) is of lesser thickness than the primary part (192), so as to permit limited fore-and-aft movement of the part (200) for sealing purposes. A unique hy-draulic system employing a master pressure reduc-ing valve (222) and a slaved pressure reducing valve (224) is employed for creating a pressure differential across the part (200) in order to bias the same for sealing purposes.

Model 3d construction application program interface

An application program interface may be used to construct a three-dimensional (3D) scene of 3D models defined by model 3D objects. The interface has one or more group objects and one or more leaf objects. The group objects contain or collect other group objects and/or leaf objects. The leaf objects may be drawing objects or an illumination object. The group objects may have transform operations to transform objects collected in their group. The drawing objects define instructions to draw 3D models of the 3D scene or instructions to draw 2D images on the 3D models. The illumination object defines the light type and direction illuminating the 3D models in the 3D scene. A method processes a tree hierarchy of computer program objects constructed with objects of the application program interface. The method traverses branches of a 3D scene tree hierarchy of objects to process group objects and leaf objects. The method detects whether the next unprocessed object is a group object of a leaf object. If it is a leaf object, the method detects whether the leaf object is a light object or a drawing 3D object. If the leaf object is a light object, the illumination of the 3D scene is set. If a drawing 3D object is detected, a 3D model is drawn as illuminated by the illumination. The method may also performs a group operation on the group of objects collected by a group object.

Concurrent processing elements for using dependency free code

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A data processor having a plurality of processing elements and a mechanism to receive strings of object code, form them into higher level tasks and to determine sequences of such tasks which are logically independent so that they may be separately and concurrently executed by the plurality of processing elements. The mechanism makes all memory accesses required by the various tasks and stores those tasks along with corresponding pointers or references to local memory in which the various data items have now been stored. The mechanism employs a symbol translation table in which the tasks are stored in forms of queues along with symbols representing the various references or pointers to local memory. In this manner, various data items can be assigned different symbols or symbolic names for use with different tasks thus further limiting dependency between various tasks and controlling data changes.

A system and method are provided to avoid deadlocks when performing non-atomic operations on data in a shared memory accessed by multiple processors, whereby the shared memory sends messages to implement a split lock. Via the messages, the requesting processor is granted exclusive access to the shared memory so that no other processor may access the same data until after the non-atomic operation has completed. The messages used to avoid the deadlock include a split lock request, a lock message, a grant message, a gone idle message and a release idle message. By using the above messages, the system accepts requests from multiple processors for exclusive access to memory, orders all of the requests, and awards exclusive access to the first processor to make a request. The system can include a cache memory, associated with a requesting processor, which sends a lock request to the main memory in response to a split lock request from a requesting processor.

Three-axis adjustable back support assembly and method

The back of a wheelchair user is independently supported along and about three mutually perpendicular axes. Two elongated adjustment arms are pivotally connected to extension arms which telescope into opposite ends of a hollow connecting tube. The support positions along and about the three axes is achieved by pivoting the arms and the connected relationships of a back shell and cushion to the connecting tube, while the adjustment arms remain pivotally connected to the wheelchair and the extension arms are telescopically retained in the connecting tube.

Autonomous trailer connectivity

A trailer control box may receive a wireless message from a controller of the tractor. The trailer control box may validate and authenticating the message. The trailer control box may control an emergency-brake valve based on the message when the message is an emergency-brake command. The trailer control box may control a service-brake valve based on the message when the message is a service-brake command. The trailer control box may control at least one switch to operate trailer lights based on the message when the message is a light command. In certain embodiments, autonomous-capable socket is mounted to a trailer and includes: a chamfered outer casing, a plurality of electrical connectors, a service-brake air aperture, and an emergency-brake air aperture. The autonomous-capable socket required a single autonomous connection by an autonomous tractor.
