Abstract: An ultrasound phased array integrated in flexible CMOS technology is provided. The CMOS IC chip is fabricated through various chip-thinning techniques, resulting in mechanical flexibility, robustness, and minimized mechanical loading for the piezoelectric transducers. The ultrasound phased array CMOS patch can allow for the generation of high intensity focal regions for maximum penetration in regions of interest.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting an interconnection of processor cores, each core with functional state monitors for monitoring operations of each processor core, the processor cores interconnected using a resistive network connected between two-terminal regions being embedded in the resistive network such that each terminal of a region may be connected by controllable resistors to one or both fixed rails or by controllable resistors to one or more intermediate nodes. The resistor values are configurable to provide indirect control of the voltages across each two-terminal region, allowing full dynamic control of voltages of the two-terminal regions in a range up to the full voltage between the two voltage rails, and where a management unit accesses the functional state monitors and controls the resistor values. Feedback from functional state monitors allow the operating frequency to extend down to arbitrarily low values and up to the limits imposed by the technology.

Abstract: A system and machine-implemented method of wireless network access are provided. First network credentials for a first wireless network hosted by a wireless-enabled device are received from a server. A first network connection with the wireless-enabled device in the first wireless network is established based on the first network credentials. Second network credentials for a second wireless network are provided to the wireless-enabled device via the first network connection. A second network connection with the wireless-enabled device in the second wireless network is established based on the second network credentials.

Abstract: A head rail for an adjustable roller shade has two tubes and an extension bar. Each one of the tubes is circular in section and has an adjustment slot and a fabric slot. The adjustment slot is longitudinally formed in a periphery of each one of the tubes. The extension bar is adjustably mounted in the tubes. The tubes are fastened on the extension bar with a short exposed portion of the extension bar to form a desired length of the head rail. Additionally, when the exposed portion of the extension bar is long, the head rail further has at least one connection sheath sleeved around the exposed portion to strengthen the head rail and prevent a shade fabric mounted in the fabric slot from being ruffled or twisted when the head rail is rotated.

Abstract: A venting liquid dispenser using a venting membrane. The venting liquid dispenser allows inflow of gas to equalize pressure, when liquid is dispensed from a sealed container. The venting liquid dispenser does not allow passage of liquid, and does not allow passage of bacteria and virus. A restrictor can be used in the alternative, or in combination with, the membrane.

Abstract: Included is an invention that deals with animal and pet nuisance, behavior control, obedience training, urinary and potty training, and repellent/discouragement method where a solution having vinegar and flavors being dispensed from a spray bottle is found to be effective in stopping or discouraging dogs, birds or animals from being noisy, being hyperactive, and behaving badly. The solution is also useful for obedience training purposes and can also be applied as a repellent/discouragement method when sprayed onto desired spots or onto the animal.

Abstract: A venting system using ePTFE as a venting membrane in applications such as nursing bottles and eye drop dispensers. The venting system allows inflow of gas to equalize pressure, when liquid is dispensed from a sealed container. The venting system does not allow passage of liquid, and does not allow passage of bacteria and virus. A restrictor can be used in the alternative, or in combination with, the ePTFE membrane.

Abstract: A window blind is mounted within a rectangular box having two opposite opened ends. The box has a longitudinal length shorter than the width of the window blind such that two end portions of the blind extend beyond the opened ends of the box respectively. Spacers are provided by tabs integrally formed on top and bottom panels of the box, which are foldable downward inwardly to locate between the slats and the head rail of the blind. The spacers press the slats and the head rail respectively tightly against the side panels of the box, and they also provide the required space for locating the end portions of the slats and the head rail in the cutting means of a trimming machine for trimming the window blind to a desirable width.
