  • Publication number: 20120323107
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assessment of the reduction of tophus burden with effective urate-lowering therapy were developed. The first application of computer-assisted methods for accessing tophus response included standardized digital photography, computer assisted measurement and analysis of tophi by an independent reader and blinded central reader paradigm. The ability of the method for computer-assisted analysis of digital photographs to quantify reduction in tophus size demonstrates its feasibility as a urate-lowering therapy monitoring tool in the treatment of tophaceous gout.

  • Publication number: 20070223429
    Abstract: A wireless local area network access point (200) has a data communication network input (201) (to provide, for example, broadband access via a digital subscriber line modem, a cable modem, or the like). The access point also has a wireless local area network output (202) to provide wireless access to this broadband resource and a hard-wired local area network output (203) to provide wired access. In a preferred approach the latter couples to a cable television coaxial cable (308) that carries a plurality of cable television service provider channels within a predetermined frequency band (304). Access to the broadband resource comprises use of a carrier (307) that is out of band with respect to that predetermined frequency band.

  • Patent number: 7253567
    Abstract: A low visual noise, jitterized pulse width modulation brightness control circuit is provided. The circuit uses a brightness control signal generating unit to receive a brightness adjusting signal and to generate a brightness control signal in response to the brightness adjusting signal. The brightness control pulse signal has a duty cycle or frequency varying in a predetermined range. An inverter coupled to the brightness control signal generating unit drives the fluorescent lamp in response to the brightness control pulse signal to reduce the visual interference due to the adjustment of the current beam density.

  • Publication number: 20070077929
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method for implementing macro-diversity management by using intelligent VBS the size of a cell cluster is intelligently adjusted by using a mobile server, and the macro-diversity of the cell cluster is performed by dynamically selecting a parent base station. Specifically, according to load condition of a cell in the cluster, the most effective cell is selected as the parent base station so as to balance inter-cell load balancing. Furthermore, since different VBSs can exchange information through the mobile server, the intelligent VBS hierarchy can perform inter-cell cluster and inter-VBS macro-diversity. Such an intelligent VBS hierarchy can avoid a plurality of Iur interface signalings due to frequent handover between radio network controllers (RNC), and balance load imbalance due to inter-cell soft handover.

  • Publication number: 20060268729
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus improving availability of voice services controlled via IP signaling links provisioned over converged ATM and Ethernet converged network infrastructure are provided. A media gateway network element implements a Layer-2 signaling link end-to-end monitoring via heartbeat messages formulated at the ATM end to traverse the converged network infrastructure to the Ethernet end. The media gateway is provided with SPVC connectivity information and is made aware of network bridging in order to perform a Layer-2 switchover to a standby signaling link in re-establishing signaling link connectivity with a media gateway controller should a communications fault be detected. The advantages include codeployment with previous media gateway controller implemented techniques, and providing a reduction of overheads for media gateway controller implemented techniques while increasing availability by reducing exposure to service outages.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a kind of electrodes touching mouse, especially one using the electrostatic induction caused by the finger pressure to operate the mouse function keys. The present invention consists of four conducting surfaces and an inner metal point wherein the four conducting surfaces represent the left, right, upper roller and down roller keys respectively operated by the static electricity emitted by the finger. The inner metal point is connected to the mouse circuit for reading of the circuit signal produced by the finger in touch with the conducting surface. Hence, the present invention provides a modern and original structure of adjoining key buttons using electric induction as power source. This structure is also dust and waterproof and makes no mechanical noise when in use.

  • Publication number: 20050134564
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a touch type mouse structure, especially one using fingers to interrupt light and simultaneously press mouse function keys. The structure mainly consists of four pressing points matched with an inner light sensor wherein the four pressing points form a concave body, illuminating at the conducting bar at the concave edge. The bottom edge allows light to pass through for reaction of inner sensor. The inner sensor is surrounded by the conducting bar material on the outside and interrupting materials inside and is designed at the center of each pressing point and connected to the inner circuit of the mouse. Hence, the present invention provides a convenient and easy way to simultaneously press function keys and interrupt light for soundless control effect. It is the most modern design as there are no conjunctions between the touch keys interface, thus avoiding dust and other residue.
