Abstract: Disclosed is a high-strength fishing rod body having carbon fibers oriented at an intersecting angle. The rod body is a tapering cylindrical tube having an extended axis. The rod body is formed by a multi-layer structural fiber cloth layer rolled at least once and having one or more layers of a first carbon fiber prepreg cloth comprising carbon fibers oriented at a first angle relative to the rod axis and one or more layers of a second carbon fiber prepreg cloth layers having second carbon fibers oriented at a second angle relative to the rod axis. When wrapped about a forming mandrel, the carbon fiber direction of the first carbon fiber prepreg cloth layer forms a first angle with the radial direction of the rod body, the carbon fiber direction of the second carbon fiber prepreg cloth layer forms a second angle with the radial direction of the rod body, and the first angle and the second angle are symmetrical along the radial direction of the rod body.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a display drive method, a display drive apparatus, a display apparatus, and a wearable device. The display drive method includes: receiving an original display data signal; sampling the original display data signal based on a clock input signal to obtain a display mode signal, a gate line scanning signal, and an initial data voltage signal; shifting the initial data voltage signal according to the display mode signal to obtain a data voltage signal; and controlling the display apparatus to display based on the display mode signal, the gate line scanning signal, and the data voltage signal.

Abstract: A switchable transmit and receive phased array antenna (“STRPAA”) is disclosed. The STRPAA includes a housing, a plurality of radiating elements, and a plurality of transmit and receive (“T/R”) modules. The STRPAA may also include either a first multilayer printed wiring board (“MLPWB”) configured to produce a first elliptical polarization or a second MLPWB configured to produce a second elliptical polarization within the housing.

Abstract: A high performance capability assessment model helps a revenue industry agency meet the challenges of the global marketplace. As a result, the revenue industry can achieve the clarity, consistency, and well-defined execution of core processes that reduce inefficiencies and waste that result from unnecessary process complexity and exceptions. In addition, the high performance capability assessment model helps the revenue industry agency to identify specific areas in which improvements may be made and understand how to make the improvements, and establishes levels of capability along the way to reaching an ultimate capability goal.

Abstract: An impeller blade includes an elongate impeller blade body having opposing proximal and distal ends, opposing first and second edges extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and opposing upper and lower sides. The lower side includes a major generally concave channel extending from an open end thereof at the distal end of the impeller blade body to a closed end thereof adjacent to the proximal end of the impeller blade body.

Abstract: The invention is drawn to novel bis-aromatic a,&bgr;-unsaturated ketones. The compounds are useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of diseases caused by parasites or bacteria.

Abstract: Aromatic compounds, or prodrugs thereof, which contain an alkylating site and which are capable of alkylating the thiol group in N-acetyl-L-cysteine, in particular bis-aromatic .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketones, are used for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions or medicated feed, food or drinking water for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases caused by microorganisms or parasites, in particular protozoa such as Leishmannia, Trypanosoma, Toxoplasma, Plasmodium, Pneumocystis, Babesia and Theileria, intestinal protozoa such as Trichormionas and Ciardia; Coccidia such as Eimeria, Isospora, Cryptosporidium; Cappilaria, Microsporidium, Sarcocystis. Trichlodina, Trichoditella, Dacihylogurus, Pseudodacthylogurus, Acantocephalus, Ichthylophtherius, Botrecephalus; and intracellular bacteria, in particular Mycobacterium, Legionella species, Listeria and Salmonella. Preferred compounds have the formula (II): X.sub.m --Ph--C(O)--CH.dbd.CH--Ph--Y.sub.
