The enclosure has an interior height that is greater than a height of the objects. The plurality of objects emits particles that become airborne. The electrostatic particle ionization system includes at least one corona point and a corona point mounting mechanism. The corona point mounting mechanism operably mounts the at least one corona point within the enclosure for movement between an extended position and a retracted. When in the extended position, the at least one corona point is closer to the plurality of objects than the enclosure. When in the retracted position, the at least one corona point is closer to the enclosure than the plurality of objects.

Abstract: A system for enhancing air quality by collecting airborne particles. The system includes at least one ground plane, at least one corona point, an ionization field strength adjustment mechanism and a cleaning mechanism. The at least one ground plane is operably mounted proximate to where the airborne particles are present. The at least one ground plane includes at least one ground plane surface. The least one corona point operably is mounted to the at least one ground plane for causing an accumulation of particles to be deposited on the at least one ground plane surface. The ionization field strength adjustment mechanism enables a distance between the at least one corona point and the at least one ground plane to be adjusted. The cleaning mechanism is capable of removing the accumulation of particles from the at least one ground plane surface.

Abstract: Tools and techniques are described for selecting member sets for generating asymmetric queries. User interfaces provided by this description may include representations of different dimensions that include respective members. These dimensions define hierarchical data structures against which queries are run to generate requested reports. The user interfaces may include representations of members associated with different dimensions, with members from different dimensions arranged in selected orders. The user interfaces may also provide selection tools that activate symmetrical or asymmetrical rendering modes for constructing the query. In the symmetrical rendering mode, the query cross-joins all of the members selected from one dimension with all of the members selected from the other dimension.

Abstract: A design structure is described for dynamically aligning clocks in independent clock domains with minimal latency. In the preferred embodiments, a reference clock in the destination clock domain that is some multiple times the data clock of the destination clock domain is used to sample a data sample signal from the source domain. The sampled data is used to determine at what time slice of the reference clock the data sample signal is changing and therefore at what phase of time slice or phase of the data clock the clocks can be aligned to ensure valid data will be transferred between clock domains.

Abstract: A method for implementing phase rotator circuits and phase rotator circuit of the invention includes a polyphase filter network to create a quadrature phase version of the input signal. The polyphase filter network is partitioned into a first part that is physically isolated from the phase rotator circuit and a second part that is embedded in the phase rotator circuit. The second part of the polyphase filter is coupled to the first part of the polyphase filter by a high-pass equalizing buffer stage. The second part of the polyphase filter is coupled to the phase rotator circuit by a bandlimiting buffer stage.

Abstract: This invention is directed toward a splint, where there is a layer of material, such as fabric-laminated foam neoprene, that encompasses a part of the body intended to be immobilized, supported, or protected, and permanently secured to this layer of material is a low temperature thermoplastic. This thermoplastic is rigid when cool, and malleable when heated. The temperature at which the thermoplastic is malleable is low enough so that the splint can be molded directly on the body. The thermoplastic can be heated, molded, and cooled together with the layer of material. The combined elements of the low temperature thermoplastic with the layer of material create a removable remoldable splint that can be immersed in water without degrading the integrity of the splint.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to equalize currents on a matching pair of FETs having sources connected together on a silicon on insulator semiconductor chip, or other chip wherein FET bodies can be individually biased. During a determination period, functional inputs coupled to the gates of the matching pair of FETs are short circuited, and a DAC adjusts a first body voltage of a first FET in the matching pair of FETs relative to a second body voltage of a second FET in the matching pair of FETs until a currents in the first FET and the second FET are equal, within resolution of the DAC's voltage granularity. A proper DAC control value is stored and applied to the DAC following the determination period when the short circuit is removed from the functional inputs.

Abstract: A low-profile, simple, orthotic glove with wrist support attachment for treating loss or impairment of extensor and/or flexor muscle function in the upper extremities, particularly in the wrist, hand and fingers, due to a peripheral neuropathy. The glove is attractive, comfortable, easy to use, and can be made with an optional wrist support attachment either built into the glove or added as an optional attachment, and can include thermoplastic to provide rigidity. The glove has channels into which interchangeable resilient digit extensor elements, or stays, of varying resiliency are placed such that stays of greater or lesser resiliency can be inserted if the degree of the patient's extensor muscle control changes, or the medical practitioner in charge decides that there is a need to change the support and exercise treatment regimens. The splint also has several improvements for thumb support, additional digit extension support, and for supination of the forearm.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for modeling business processes that facilitate the collaborative submission of data in a WFM system by modeling business processes in terms of cycles and assignments. A cycle defines a scenario for the business process along with a window of time in which the business process should be executed. Assignments are work activities that are defined within each cycle. A cycle definition is created for each business cycle within a business process. Each cycle definition includes data defining a recurrence pattern for the business cycle and data defining a time period in which one or more contributors to the business cycle may contribute data. Each cycle definition also includes one or more assignment definitions that define the scope, contributors, approvers, validation rules, deadlines, and data forms that should be used for the assignment.
