Abstract: Using relatively inexpensive, external resistor networks, an electronic device, such as an FPGA, can be configured to use non-MIPI interfaces to communicate with one or more MIPI-compliant devices, such as video sources (e.g., cameras) and sinks (e.g., displays). High-speed (HS) and low-power (LP) MIPI signaling for each MIPI clock/data lane is supported by a set of one or more non-MIPI interfaces, such as LVDS and/or LVCMOS receivers, transmitters, and/or transceivers, and an appropriate, corresponding, external resistor network. For configurations in which the resistor-configured electronic device can handle high-speed MIPI data from a MIPI-compliant device, the electronic device can detect transitions in the MIPI mode of the MIPI-compliant device. In some configurations, the resistor-configured electronic device can provide high-speed MIPI data to a MIPI-compliant device. In either case, the electronic device configures the non-MIPI interfaces to support the current MIPI HS/LP mode.

Abstract: A portal can create and send one or more pages, such as markup language documents, to an information device. The portal can create the page using one or more stylesheets. The stylesheets may include one or more pre-conditions, such as data requirements, in order to use the stylesheet. The portal may use the pre-conditions in obtaining data used to construct the page.

Abstract: Although protective coverings for medical instruments are known in the art, they are difficult or even impossible for the user to remove without risking contamination of the instrument or the user. An improved protective covering provides for an unassisted user to remove it with a single gloved, even contaminated, hand. In some embodiments, the invention provides a disposable protective covering for reusable medical instruments and devices that can be easily and quickly applied during donning of personal protective equipment (PPE), and easily and quickly removed during removal of PPE, without risking inadvertent contamination of the instrument or device. In some embodiments, a disposable protective covering includes a fastening means that secures a sheath to the instrument during instrument use, and that is releasable in a single motion by a moderate force applied toward the distal end of the covering from a point along the distal portion of the covering.
