Abstract: A method and system for synchronizing the output signal phase of a plurality of frequency divider circuits in a local-oscillator (LO) or clock signal path is disclosed. The LO path includes a plurality of frequency divider circuits and a LO buffer for receiving a LO signal coupled to the plurality of frequency divider circuits. The method and system comprise adding offset voltage and setting predetermined state to each of the frequency divider circuits; and enabling the frequency divider circuits. The method and system includes enabling the LO buffer to provide the LO signal to the frequency divider circuits after they have been enabled. When the LO signal drives each of the frequency divider circuits, each of the frequency divider circuits starts an operation. Finally the method and system comprise removing the offset voltage from each of the frequency divider circuits to allow them to effectively drive other circuits.

Abstract: A method of reinforcing a folded edge of a garment comprises sewing one of the following stitches along a portion of fabric where an edge of the garment is to be formed: a bar tack stitch, a buttonhole eyelet stitch, a round eyelet stitch, a single line of stitches and a pair of spaced lines of stitches.

Abstract: A foam dispensing device creates and dispenses foam from a source of liquid. The device employs a mixing chamber upstream of a unit of porous material and an outlet. When activated, a single motor powers a liquid pump and an air pump. The liquid pump transports liquid from a source to the mixing chamber. The air pump propels air through the mixing chamber wherein the air becomes pressurized. The liquid and air mix within in the mixing chamber. The liquid-air mixture is propelled through the porous material by the flow of air, creating a foam that is dispensed from the outlet.

Abstract: A method for managing domain name acquisition comprises collecting desired domain names in a shared database and matching the desired domain names in the shared database to those that are available as candidates for a registration status change. A registration is then changed of at least one matched desired domain name due to the matched desired domain name being in the shared database. The registration of the at least one matched desired domain name may be changed to an entity who desired said matched domain name wherein the said entity is associated with the domain name being caused to be collected in the shared database. The collecting of the domain names in the shared database may comprise receiving a backorder of a domain name from an entity desiring said domain name and then storing said backorder of the domain name in a shared database. A domain name auction scheme is also provided to attain the highest price of a desired domain name that may be a candidate for deletion from a registry.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a regio- and stereoselective bioconversion of selected aliphatic dinitriles into corresponding cyanocarboxylic acids. More particularly, the present invention provides methods for the conversion of 2-isobutyl-succinonitrile into (S)-3 cyano-5-methylhexanoic acid, which is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of (S)-3(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid (pregabalin). Pregabalin can be used for treating certain cerebral diseases, for example, in the treatment and prevention of seizure disorders, pain, and psychotic disorders.
