Abstract: An endoscopic deployment device includes a body mountable on an endoscopic device, a communication interface, and a motor. The body has a movable carrier couplable to an elongated end effector device. The effector device has an end effector shaft covered by an outer sheath and an end effector extending from a distal end of the shaft. The sheath is sized and shaped for insertion through a working channel of an endoscopic shaft of the endoscopic device. The body has a carrier channel sized for the carrier to slide therein. The end effecter is actuatable between open and closed positions by sliding the carrier in the carrier channel which in turn slides the sheath over the end effector shaft to uncover/cover the end effector. Rotation of a drive shaft of the motor is sliding the carrier in the carrier channel and actuating the end effector in response to a signal.

Abstract: A method for providing a locale-specific module for client-side processing of documents is provided. The method includes intercepting a request at a server from an interface located at a client. The request may be a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from a web browser. The server determines locale preferences from the request. The server then determines a locale-specific module for the locale preferences. The locale-specific module is then sent to the client. The interface may use the module to provide locale-specific elements when executing scripts received in documents from the server. The scripts are executed at the client side and the locale-specific elements are determined and displayed in the documents.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for using a class H amplifier in a tester for testing protective relaying equipment, particularly useful in conducting end to end testing. The class H amplifier is configured to provide separation between the amplifier and the power supply of the tester using a DSP which also offers flexibility for programming algorithms to realize efficiencies in matching the waveform to the output rail. End to end testing is also improved by including expected results for the test case used by the tester to enable the tester to determine how close the results are to what is expected. This offers time savings and is less prone to error in that the expected results can be predetermined by a qualified/experienced professional.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, devices and methods for efficiently calculating a true RMS values (either voltage or current) of an AC signal. The RMS value is generated from both high and low frequency components of the AC signal without a high speed ADC being integrated within the system. The high frequency component is processed by calculating an average current waveform of the high frequency component and approximating a corresponding RMS value using a waveform factor. The waveform factor is effectively a scalar that relates the average current waveform of the high frequency component to an appropriate RMS value.

Abstract: A system for securing a module within a chassis includes a rotatable handle located on the module. The rotatable handle includes a notch and a latch. The chassis includes a cam and guide rail. In embodiments of the invention, the interaction of the notch and the latch on the handle with the cam in the chassis operate to automatically rotate the handle from an open position to a closed position when the module is inserted into the chassis by pushing on a bezel of the module. Embodiments of the invention move the module into a seated position within the chassis when the handle is rotated from an open position to a closed position.

In a preferred embodiment, surveillance units include a small camera and a wireless transceiver and a connector that allows the surveillance units to plug into an existing outdoor light in the place of the outdoor lights' photo cells. In this preferred embodiment communication between the lights and the cellular station is at frequencies of about 2.4 GHz and uses the 802.11b protocol that permits transmission of data at up to 11 million bits per second or the 802.11g protocol that permits transmission of data at up to 54 million bits per second. The cellular stations then communicates with the central monitoring station at a frequency range of 71-76 GHz and 81 to 86 GHz that permits transmission of data at about 1.0 billion bits per second.

Abstract: A light-triggered tattoo process. A strong absorber of light energy and tattoo material are sandwiched under pressure between a skin region and a transparent window. Short pulses of light, at frequencies strongly absorbed by the strong absorber, illuminates the strong absorber through the window creating micro-explosions in the strong absorber that drive particles of the tattoo material into the skin region producing a tattoo.

Abstract: A wireless cellular communication system in which groups of cellular base stations communicate with a central office via a narrow-band millimeter wave trunk line. The transceivers are equipped with antennas providing beam divergence small enough to ensure efficient spatial and directional partitioning of the data channels so that an almost unlimited number of transceivers will be able to simultaneously use the same millimeter wave spectrum. In a preferred embodiment the trunk line communication link operates within the 92 to 95 GHz portion of the millimeter spectrum. A large number of base stations are each allocated a few MHz portion of a 900 MHz bandwidth of the millimeter wave trunk line. A first transceiver transmits at a first bandwidth and receives at a second bandwidth both within the above spectral range. A second transceiver transmits at the second bandwidth and receives at the first bandwidth.

Abstract: The present invention provides an output buffer on a monolithic integrated circuit with programmability, such that one of sixteen output configurations is selected for providing the proper signaling interface to peripheral devices. An input signal (SELECT) in selector circuit (12) provides the transfer of one of two sets of input data signals into function control circuit (14). With the input signal (EN) applied, control signals in the function control circuit (14) set the configuration mode for the output buffer circuit (16). The data input signal INPUT DATA, in accordance with the programmed configuration mode for the output buffer circuit (16), transitions the output signal, DBOUT. The output buffer circuit (16) is programmable for providing an open-drain output, a tri-stated output, a high current output, a low current output, a PCI output, and an output selected from two operating voltages for signal level translation functions.
