Abstract: A system or method can facilitate source localization of brain electrical activity. In one example, an expert system can be utilized to evaluate the source localization results and, based on the acceptability of the results, adjust a data preparation phase to provide for acceptable source localization.

Abstract: The present invention is a mask ordering method and apparatus which controls the way keys are compared. In its general form, the mask ordering method operates to order (with a less than, greater than or equal to comparison) two N-byte (for example, N=16) keys (Key—1 and Key—2) using an N-bit ordering mask where the N bits in the ordering mask correspond one for one with the N bytes in the keys in the same compare direction (either left-to-right or right-to-left).

Abstract: A disc drive includes a base, a spindle rotatably attached to the base, and at least one disc attached to the spindle. A cover is attached to the base. The cover and the base form a disc enclosure for the spindle and the disc or discs. A pump mechanism is located within the disc enclosure. The pump mechanism reduces the pressure within the disc enclosure. A valve is located in one of the cover and the base and allows a gas or fluid to move out of the disc enclosure.

Abstract: The invention provides a heat-shrinkable thermoplastics packaging film comprising a laminate of two or more individual heat-shrinkable thermoplastics packaging films, where each of the individual films is substantially identical in composition and layer construction. The films are preferably prepared from double wound film, especially biaxially oriented film comprising LLDPE. The invention also provides a process of preparing such a film, comprising: a) providing two layers of heat-shrinkable thermoplastics packaging film, namely a first layer and a second layer, each of the first and second layers having inner and outer surfaces, the inner surfaces being adjacent to each other; b) treating the outer surface of the first layer to enable the first layer to adhere to the second layer; and c) winding the two layers together into a roll, such that the treated outer surface of the first layer adheres to the outer surface of the second layer to form a laminate.

Abstract: A resistivity surveying apparatus comprises a base station (9) and 30 reels (RL1 to RL30). The base station (9) comprises a computer (10) and a resistivity meter (11) having four output terminals. Each reel has a multi-line cable (CB1 to CB30) which includes four resistivity measuring lines for connection to the output terminals of meter (11) and further lines for connection to the output terminals of computer (10). An electrode (EL1 to EL30) which may be driven into the ground is mounted on each reel. In the hub of each reel (RL1 to RL30), there is provided a circuit (CKT1 to CKT30) for connecting the electrode (EL1 to EL30) to one of the resistivity measuring lines under the control of the computer (10). In operation, the electrodes are driven into the ground at spaced intervals. The free end of one (CB1) of the cables is connected to the base station (9) and the remaining cables are connected in series. The computer (10) then drives the apparatus through a measurement sequence.

Abstract: An improved woven fabric that is relatively stiff in the filling direction and relatively flexible in the warp direction by virtue of the filling yarns in the fabric being stiffer than the warp yarns in the fabric, wherein the improvement comprises the filling yarns comprise resin bonded multifilament yarns. The product has particular utility in seat belt safety harnesses with belt coiling mechanisms. It is preferred that the resin be a polyurethane in an amount of 0.4-2.0 weight percent; that the filling yarns be twistless polyester multifilament. The process involves the application of an uncured resin to the filling yarns prior to weaving, and curing the uncured resin, preferably after weaving during an otherwise conventional dyeing procedure.
