Abstract: An example using the Bluetooth protocol may include a dynamic MTU adjustment for reduction of the probability of handshake collision and credit processing. This may also include making the Tx MTU a non-multiple of the number of remote Rx credits and adjusting the Tx MTU to a value that lets CONTINUE come before or after Credits without overlapping and prevents underflow situations. Another example may include periodically pacing the low priority traffic even during an underflow condition, thereby balancing the speed. Still another example may balance the frequency speeds, and thereby balancing power by controlling the processor load during unwanted waiting situations, and indirectly control unwanted Multiprocessor Frequency jump decision that may happen for low priority traffic conditions.

Abstract: The present invention deals with examination of the alterability of part, or whole, of the surfaces of beta sheet-based protein structures, focusing especially on enzymes. The alteration is done by supplanting/transplanting a part, or whole, of the surface of one protein onto the surface of a homologous protein of superimposable polypeptide backbone, by exploiting the structural features of beta sheets to alter only the regions of the surface involved in substrate/ligand binding and catalysis. The transplantation involves replacement of a selected set of non-contiguous residues constituting the surface regions desired to be altered in one enzyme/protein, by a set of non-contiguous residues located at analogous positions in the other enzyme/protein, in a manner that is likely to facilitate folding and function of the new protein formed by combining residues from both enzymes/proteins.

The method includes identifying a first image element of a first event from first images successively captured by a first image sensor of the electronic device, and identifying a second image element of a second event from second images successively captured by a second image sensor of the electronic device, the first images and the second images being simultaneously captured. The method further includes combining the first image element with the second image element based on a synchronization parameter to generate the composite image.

Abstract: Systems and methods for testing magnetic media disks during manufacturing using sliders with temperature sensors are provided. One such method involves scanning a surface of a selected disk of a plurality of magnetic media disks using a slider including a magnetic transducer and a temperature sensor, counting a number of the surfaces scanned, determining, during the scanning, whether a threshold crossing event has occurred by determining whether a signal from the temperature sensor signal is not within a preselected range, counting, during the scanning, a number of threshold crossing events, storing, if the number of threshold crossing events is greater than a preselected events limit, the number of surfaces scanned, stopping, if the number of surfaces scanned is greater than a surfaces scanned threshold, the scanning, and returning, if the number of surfaces scanned is less than or equal to the surfaces scanned threshold, to scan a next selected disk.

Abstract: A disk drive is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk, the head comprising a touchdown sensor comprising a resistance. A bias signal is applied at a reference value to the touchdown sensor at a reference temperature, and a corresponding reference resistance of the touchdown sensor is measured. An operating value for the bias signal is generated based on a predetermined operating temperature of the touchdown sensor, the reference resistance, the reference temperature, and a thermal coefficient of resistance (TCR) of the touchdown sensor, wherein the TCR specifies a change in temperature of the touchdown sensor relative to a change in the resistance of the touchdown sensor.
