Abstract: An enhanced integrated circuit interconnect package, method and multiple-layer integrated circuit laminate structure enable increased routing density per layer and maintains signal integrity performance. A differential signal via pair of vertical interconnect vias provide differential signaling. The vias of the differential signal via pair are positioned closely spaced together with each via offset from a center axis of an associated LGA contact, minimizing space between the differential signal vias and maintaining signal integrity performance, and providing increased available wiring signal channel.

Abstract: A mobility device configurable in a first walk configuration and a second stair-climb configuration, including a frame with movable front leg portions, a leg-actuation system connected to the front leg portions and a safety-control device mounted to the frame. The safety-control device includes a configuration selector, and a lever connected to the leg-actuation system and configured to actuate the cable actuation system so as to cause the first and second movable leg portions to move from a first position to a second position. The lever remains locked in a first lever position such that the lever cannot be moved unless the configuration selector is in a depressed position, thereby preventing inadvertent movement of the leg portion.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to a service that analyzes media and outputs an evaluation of the media based on inconsistencies within media and differences between source media and the media, are described. In one aspect, a media file may be obtained at a computing resource service provider. The media may be analyzed to generate media results that indicate inconsistencies within the media file and/or differences between the media file and corresponding source media registered with the computing resource service provider. An indication of a significance of the inconsistencies within the media file and/or differences between the registered source media and the media may be generated based on the media results. In some aspects, source media may be registered and one or more artifacts inserted into the media to enable more efficient comparisons of whether other media is consistent with the registered source media.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing domainless service selection (DLSS) are described. According to one embodiment of the invention, there is a service selection network element used to provide access of computing devices to a set of one or more services provided by a set of one or more providers. In addition, a web portal allows subscribers to log in and/or select/switch between the services and providers. Responsive to such action by a given subscriber, the web portal causes a record of that subscriber to be altered to reflect the action and causes the service selection network element to attempt to connect the subscriber accordingly. According to certain embodiments of the invention, subscribers' domainless user identifiers are merged by the service selection network element with domain names (stored in a database) of services/providers to form network addresses (e.g., Internet addresses).

Abstract: A self contained energy generating system that comprises a galvanic battery and a power distribution system. The energy generating system is used to purify water by using a reverse osmosis device that draws in a source of water and transfers electrolytes to the galvanic battery. Upon contact with the electrolyte, the galvanic battery produces energy by an oxidation-reduction reaction of the cathode and anode and transfers energy to the power distribution system, which in turn provides power to the osmosis device. Additionally, the system includes a hydrogen fuel cell to increase the amount of energy generated and a power storage device for storing excess energy generated. The system also includes a controller which is configured to regulate the overall operation of the system.

Abstract: A system for supplying hydrogen gas to a lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicle includes a manifold having multiple vessels. Each vessel has a first chamber that is separated from a second chamber by a barrier. A trigger assembly integrated with the barrier allows a liquid to be combined with a reactant and a catalyst in the second chamber to form a chemical reaction to generate hydrogen gas. A pressure relief valve located on each vessel opens to allow the hydrogen gas to exit when a predetermined pressure is reached, and the hydrogen gas is supplied to the LTA vehicle connected to the manifold.
