Abstract: A communications protocol interface is configured as being divisible into a core portion and an extensible portion. The extensible portion of the communications protocol interface is further configured to be customized in scope so that each network element can communicate a unique and optionally small, subset of actual interoperable data that corresponds to at least a portion of a larger defined data set. A software generator program is configured to generate a set of extensible source code that operates upon the subset of actual data and that directs the execution of the extensible portion of the communications protocol interface for a particular network element.

Abstract: A communications protocol interface may be configured as being divisible into a core portion and an extensible portion.

A software generator program may be configured to generate a set of extensible source code that operates upon the subset of actual data and that directs the execution of the extensible portion of the communications protocol interface for a particular network element.

Abstract: A system and method for collecting and displaying time sensitive information consisting of multiple information sources connected to an information storage facility via an upload link. The information storage facility may, in turn, be interrogated by information sinks via a download link to display the collected time sensitive information. The system may support multiple alternate information storage facilities by allowing them to connect to the information storage facility via an API. The multiple alternate information storage facilities may communicate with information sinks via an alternate download link.

The jack system includes a display support adapted for supporting a wall display or vignette and at least one caster assembly carried by the display support for providing rolling movement of the display support. At least one jack assembly is mounted to the display support and includes an upstanding jack stand and a jack carried by the jack stand and is adapted to position the display support and the at least one caster assembly to a movable load-bearing position and to a the stationary position.

Abstract: A system and method for converting a pixel rate of a digital image frame is provided. The system includes a display controller with an embedded buffer and programmable input and output buffers. The input buffer writes lines of the frame at a source pixel rate while the output pointer reads out lines of the frame at a display pixel rate thereby allowing display of an image having a source pixel rate that is different, e.g., higher, than a display pixel rate.

Abstract: Functional ingredients including an esterified component and microencapsulated in an enteric matrix to increase the microencapsulation efficiency and reduce undesired organoleptic properties of the microencapsulated material while providing a desired release rate and ester hydrolysis rate, the process including forming an emulsion in water and titrating the emulsion with a precipitating agent to produce a particulate precipitate.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is a portion of a test system that includes a timing generation circuit and a formatter that are coupled together, which are on a single CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) integrated circuit. The timing Generation circuit generates software words. The formatter receives the software words and provides a specified number of transitions per second and a specified edge placement resolution and accuracy. It is noted that the formatter includes a drive circuit and a response circuit. Specifically, the drive circuit includes a plurality of slices, where each slice receives an independent data stream and produces an independent formatted level. The response circuit includes a plurality of slices, where each slice receives an independent data stream and produces an independent strobe marker.

Abstract: A method and system for performing diagnosing in an automatic test environment. The method begins by determining a fail condition during a test of a device under test (DUT). A diagnostic suite is determined for testing the fail condition. The diagnostic suite is generated if the diagnostic suite is not available for access.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to chemoprotectant precursor compositions provided from crucifer seeds and sprouts and methods for their preparation. Treatment of aqueous extracts from crucifer seeds or sprouts with adsorbents substantially increases the ratio of certain highly chemoprotectant precursor compounds (alkyl glucosinolates such as glucoraphanin, a.k.a. sulforaphane glucosinolate) to undesirable compounds such as indole glucosinolates (for example 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin). The method provides an extract which has a ratio of glucoraphanin to 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin of about 70 or greater. The resulting extract has improved color and odor and may be dried or used directly as an additive in a variety of foodstuffs.

Abstract: A system and method for processing scan data for integrated circuit testing. Scan data is divided into three groups of scan data segments: scan-in data segments, scan-out data segments and scan-mask data segments. The sequence of scan data segments in each group constitutes the operative test data in a scan stream. Each scan stream is represented by a table having a row corresponding to each scan data segment in the stream. Each row has four fields: a start address, a segment length, a start pad length and an end pad length. Scan streams consist of the bit sequence of segment data interposed by dummy data corresponding in length to the start pad and end pad lengths. Scan streams are interleaved by using the pad lengths to time the processing of scan data segments.

Abstract: A method An apparatus and system for producing a digital video signal from an analog video signal, the analog video signal including an analog video data signal that is raster scanned in lines across a CRT screen to form consecutive frames of video information, the raster scanning controlled by use of a horizontal synchronizing signal (Hsnyc) (Hsync) that controls a line scan rate, and a vertical synchronizing signal (Vsnyc) (Vsync) that controls a frame refresh rate, to produce consecutive frames of video information, wherein the digital signal is produced by generating a pixel clock signal with pixel clocks for repetitively sampling instantaneous values of the analog video data signal, and digitizing the analog video data signal based on the pixel clock sampling.
