  • Capacitive-based rotational positioning input device
    Publication number: 20070247421
    Abstract: An input device includes an electrode base and a code wheel rotatably mounted and vertically spaced relative to the electrode base. The electrode base includes a first array of circumferentially spaced sense electrodes, an array of non-conductive portions interposed between adjacent respective sense electrodes, and at least one drive electrode. The code wheel includes an array of circumferentially spaced apart conductive portions and an array of non-conductive portions interposed between adjacent respective conductive portions of the code wheel. The controller is configured to capture user inputs based on an output signal produced via capacitive coupling of the at least one drive electrode of the electrode base, via the code wheel, to the respective sense electrodes of the electrode base.

  • Radioprotective agents
    Publication number: 20020001565
    Abstract: A non-toxic and effective isoflavone radioprotective agent for treating or preventing effects and damage due to radiation exposure, or increasing the survivability to a lethal dose of radiation. The isoflavone can be administered orally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intravenously, transdermally, intranasally, or rectally. The isoflavone is administered chronically, and/or before, during and/or after radiation exposure. These radioprotective agents can be used to protect personnel exposed to radioactive substances.
