Abstract:
An improved computer graphic drawing apparatus having a housing unit adapted for being held in hand during graphic drawing operations, a coarse adjusting device movably disposed in the housing unit, and an IC arrangement disposed in the housing unit and electrically connected to the coarse adjusting device for being coupled with a host computer. The improvement resides in a few adjusting device movably disposed in the housing unit and includes: a tracking member movably installed on one side of the housing unit; a first and a second rotary member separately installed in the housing unit and rotatably engaged with the tracking member for being rotated on X and Y coordinate axes; and a first and a second encoding device respectively provided in the housing unit and electrically connected to the IC arrangement in conjunction with both rotary members so as to effect signal conversion and transmission in accomplishing fine adjustment operations.
Abstract:
The present application is directed to a protective case for an electronic device including a first member and a second member operationally configured to house an electronic device therein; wherein the first member is operationally configured to direct sound waves to an inner surface of the second member; and wherein the second member is operationally configured to dictate travel of sound waves within the protective case.
Abstract:
An aqueous and liquid cleansing composition comprises a fatty acid soap, a salt of a lauryl ether sulfate surfactant that is present in an amount that is at least 50% of the weight of the fatty acid soap, a betaine surfactant that is present in an amount that is at least 23% of the weight of the fatty acid soap, and at least 0.05% by weight of the composition of triclocarban. The lauryl ether sulfate and betaine surfactant in the specified amount in relation to the fatty acid soap amount keep the triclocarban from precipitating out of the composition.
Abstract:
Improved methods and apparatuses for inserting pedicle screws in accordance with embodiments of the present invention include an image correction algorithm. In various embodiments, an original image of a region of interest of a patient including a pedicle is created with an X-ray emitter and an X-ray detector. Due to the X-ray emitter not being aligned orthogonal to the X-ray detector, the original image will be skewed. Using a known location and orientation of the X-ray detector, a location and orientation of the X-ray emitter provided by a position monitoring system, and the original image, a processing system can execute the image correction algorithm to provide a corrected image to allow a surgeon to properly insert a pedicle screw along the axis of the pedicle while viewing an accurate corrected image in real time.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided to start a virtual service node that is configured to provide network traffic services for one or more virtual machines. The virtual service node has at least one associated service profile comprising identifiers for corresponding service policies for network traffic services. The service policies identified in the at least one associated service profile are retrieved. A virtual machine is started with an associated virtual interface and a port profile is applied to the virtual interface, including information identifying the service profile. Information is provided to the virtual service node that informs the virtual service node of network parameters and assigned service profile of the virtual machine. Network traffic associated with the virtual machine is intercepted and redirected to the virtual service node. A virtual service data path is provided that enables dynamic service binding, virtual machine mobility support, and virtual service node chaining and/or clustering.
Abstract:
A phototherapy apparatus for the treatment of skin disease is disclosed including: an at least partially hollow body element; a plurality of light emitting elements enclosed within the body element; and a plurality of elongated light transmitting elements, each of the light transmitting elements having a proximal end detachably affixed to the body element in proximity to one or more of the light emitting elements, and extending to an end distal the body element. For each of the elongated light transmitting elements, at least a portion of light incident from the light emitting elements onto the proximal end is directed through the light transmitting element and emitted from the distal end.
Abstract:
Techniques, apparatus and circuits based on magnetic or magnetoresistive tunnel junctions (MTJs). In one aspect, a programmable circuit device can include a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ); a MTJ control circuit coupled to the MTJ to control the MTJ to cause a breakdown in the MTJ in programming the MTJ; and a sensing circuit coupled to the MTJ to sense a voltage under a breakdown condition of the MTJ.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) such as a programmable logic device includes a plurality of IC input terminals and an input buffer having a buffer input terminal and a buffer output terminal. A multiplexer is adapted to selectively couple an IC input terminal to the buffer input terminal or to couple the buffer output terminal to the buffer input terminal.
