An embodiment of this invention is an apparatus for floor installation, repair, cleaning or ground proximity work. One such component is a movable member, such as a miniature precision reciprocating displacement pump head, which is driven by an actuator that comprises a shape memory alloy material. The solar cell unit includes a lower fixing case embedded in the body of the boundary stone and an upper fixing case separably assembled to the lower fixing case. The phase detection block compares phases of the input clock and the feedback clock and generates phase information, and quantizes a phase difference between the input clock and the feedback clock and generates phase codes. A beam portion of the narrowed emission from the laser is directed through the wavelength calibration module and a beam portion is directed through the detection and control unit when the laser beam is scanned through the optical transition line of each of the species within the module. The implant can be transferred to the tissue defect, with contours of the mold matching corresponding contours of the defect.

A method and system for the clearing and settlement of funds among a plurality of participants facilitates the integration of a \u201cclosed\u201d special purpose industry sector, such as the transit industry, within an open financial payment system. The corner element embodiments may be secured at widow and door corner areas and then integrated with traditional stucco applications. A method of producing the solid-state imaging device and an electronic device provided with the solid-state imaging devices are also disclosed.

An electrically erasable programmable read only memory is disclosed. The first gate electrode is formed over a semiconductor substrate. In order to address this problem the present invention provides a printhead recapping mechanism.

A method and apparatus for bipolar and self DC-erase write of servo marks. The shape of the radiation image storage panel is asymmetric with respect to a center axis of the radiation image storage panel, which center axis extends in an antero-posterior direction of the radiation image storage panel, such that front and back surfaces of the radiation image storage panel can be clearly discriminated from each other. The chuck top preferably is provided with a heating member. Thus the overall or effective stress on the substrate is reduced.

A document management system manages a plurality of registered documents in a database, each document having a number of sections. A modem or other device employing such a technique need not rely on carrier drop detection and is generally insensitive to other energy or noise on the line. The float members may also include an alignment projection and recess wherein the alignment projections of each of the float members are inserted into the alignment recesses of the opposing float member when the float members are secured about a conveyance.

The present disclosure is directed generally towards fire-resistant wood products and formulations for fire-resistant coatings. In certain embodiments, an alert is output in accordance with a current alert mode, which are selected based on one or more environmental conditions. The LCD further includes a common electrode opposite the pixel electrodes, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode, and a domain partitioning member formed on at least one of the pixel lelectrode and the common electrode.

According to one embodiment, a wearable electronic device includes communication circuitry configured to communicate with an external device, and transmit access right information to the external device, the access right information for a write access right to first data stored in a server, the first data corresponding to a user of the electronic device. The prime mover is either an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, advantageously a diesel engine. The memory also includes a controller that determines whether to select a garbage collection unit of the multiple garbage collection units for garbage collection based on a variable threshold number of the multiple garbage collection units to garbage collect.

A receiving diversity apparatus and method for a mobile station in an HDR mobile communication system measures CI values of pilot channels on respective antennas, measures a CI value of in-phase combined pilot channel, and then selectively performs one of a selection diversity receiving operation and an in-phase combining receiving operation according to the measured CI values. A method for use of the swab tipped applicator provides for delivery the pharmacological agent to an area of the skin, such as the external auditory canal, preferably after showering or bathing, so that the dry agent is dampened so as to treat conditions of the skin. The high-density sound absorption layer is bonded to the air-impermeable resonance layer via the adhesive layer and has a density in a range of 0.

A system and method for providing automatic data restoration after a storage device failure are disclosed. The carbon and silica are intimately mixed on a micron or submicron scale and are characterized by high purity and reactivity, small particle size, high porosity, and contain volatile carbon that can be used as a source of energy for the production of silicon-containing products from the carbon-silica products. 0 and an effective surfactant amount of at least one non-ionic or anionic surfactant. The combination of the spiral implant resting configuration and the hydrogel bag substantially fills the cavity. The cover element can be made of standard straight length sections and custom pre-formed corner pieces that sit over the ends of the straight sections. The nozzle has a heat shield provided around a fuel discharge orifice, the heat shield incorporating a sliding expansion joint and having a drip collar arranged to cover the expansion joint so as to protect it from being wetted by fuel ejected through the fuel discharge orifice and falling on the heat shield.

A dye-sensitized solar cell using a photoelectric transformation electrode. The assembly is such that the armature core can be formed from two laminated pieces that are rigidly connected to each other and held against axial movement.
