Abstract: The gas-steam engine of this invention is divided into boiler, turbine and piston reciprocating types. This engine controls the burning through the binary or ternary gas supply system, producing the hi-temperature and hi-pressure gas and steam or mixture by utilizing the kinetic and heat energy form by burning, so as to do work by the above gas, as well as reclaiming the heat consumed heat at the same time, with the steam reverted and recycled for use after doing work. Therefore, it radically the great energy waste and serious environmental pollution question in the existing heat engine. Compared with the former technology, it realizes the energy saving of about 75%, with little exhaustion.

Abstract: The invention comprises a system and method for employing video in development processes. A new theory of operation for mapping video to formal models is disclosed. The present invention combines a runtime component and an object memory with an transformer component and offers several inputs and outputs. At least one capture device allows input of video. Video is structurally decomposed into shots and annotated following a semiology-based video model and stored in object memory. A runtime component determines the shots that are played back on one or more displays. A spectator may influence the runtime component by changing its state via at least one controller. One or more downstream development processes can access the object memory to extract customary models for requirements specification.

Abstract: Embodiments of rotary vane engines include rotors that rotate about an axis of rotation. The rotors can be moved in directions substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation to vary expansion and/or compression ratios of the rotary vane engines. The ability to vary the expansion and/or compression ratios can facilitate optimization of the performance of the rotary vane engines as operating conditions vary.

Abstract: A planar light source device includes: a substrate having a thickness larger than 0.9 mm and including a metal layer; and a plurality of light-emitting diode chips disposed on the substrate in a matrix array. Each light-emitting diode chip has a chip size ranging from 0.0784 mm2 to 0.25 mm2. Two adjacent ones of the light-emitting diode chips are spaced apart from each other by a distance of at least two times a length of the light-emitting diode chips.

Abstract: A method for correlating or finding similarity between two data sets. The method can be used for correlating two images with common scene content in order to find correspondence points between the data sets. These correspondence points then can be used to find the transformation parameters which when applied to image 2 brings it into alignment with image 1. The correlation metric has been found to be invariant under image rotation and when applied to corresponding areas of a reference and target image, creates a correlation surface superior to phase and norm cross correlation with respect to the correlation peak to correlation surface ratio. The correlation metric was also found to be superior when correlating data from different sensor types such as from SAR and EO sensors. This correlation method can also be applied to data sets other than image data including signal data.

Abstract: A tearaway introducer sheath assembly (10) for use in implantation of a catheter into a patient, having an elongated polytetrafluoroethylene sheath tube (12) and a proximal polyethylene hub component (16). The hub comprises two halves (22) insert molded about the sheath tube proximal end and joined to each other by frangible webs (28) enabling manual splitting. At least one pair of opposed holes (42) is formed through the tube proximal end portion 44, and a polyethylene liner (46) is inserted into the tube's proximal end portion. The polyethylene flows into the at least one pair of holes (42) to fuse with the liner, establishing a pair of physical joints (50?) integrally joining the liner (46) to a respective hub half (22). Upon manual splitting of the hub halves, the sheath tube easily splits along its length as a result of a property of the polytetrafluoroethylene material.

Abstract: A tearaway sheath assembly (100) having a splittable sheath tube (102) a splittable hub (110), a splittable valve (150) and a split cap (180). The valve (150) is of the elongated duckbill type and having a slit (158) almost completely across the distal end wall (154) such that two diverging sides (156) of the distal valve portion may be moved apart during insertion therethrough of a dilator or a catheter. A two-part cap (180) is affixed to the hub proximal end (120) and traps a seating flange (168) of the valve between itself and a seating groove (136) of the hub. Pairs of opposed gaps (184,122) of the cap (180) and the hub (110) are aligned with frangible sections or seams (108) of the sheath tube (102) and frangible sections (172) and slits (166) of the valve, facilitating splitting of the assembly (100) when desired by the practitioner to peel it away from the inserted catheter.

Abstract: A method for generating an accelerated and/or decelerated chaotic sequence. The method involves selecting a plurality of polynomial equations constructed from an acc-dec variable v. The method also involves selecting a value for the acc-dec variable v for advancing or stepping back a chaotic sequence generation by at least one cycle at a given time. The method further involves using residue number system (RNS) arithmetic operations to respectively determine solutions for the polynomial equations using the acc-dec variable v. The solutions iteratively computed and expressed as RNS residue values. The method involves determining a series of digits in a weighted number system based on the RNS residue values.
