Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for capturing carbon dioxide from a gas stream. The methods and systems can also be used to reduce pollutants from a gas stream. The nozzle alignment of the system avoids droplet collision and merger with a corresponding loss of surface area. The high surface area of the droplets allows for increased efficiency of CO2 capture.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a storage and dispensing apparatus for a pressurised metered dose inhaler and a method of utilizing such apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a canister containing a mixture of a propellant and a therapeutic agent, an electronically actuated valve, and a controller configured to control the valve. The controller is further configured to actuate the valve to agitate the mixture within the canister, and actuate the valve to release a dose of the agitated mixture from the canister, where actuating the valve to agitate and actuating the valve to release a dose are discrete.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to map pins on an interface connector to signals for a digital display. A first group of signal traces maps transmitter differential pairs pins in a first group of lanes on the interface connector compatible with a first interface standard to video output points corresponding to video output signals of a first video port compatible with a second interface standard. A second group of signal traces maps presence detect pins in the first group of lanes on the interface connector to control signal points corresponding to control signals of the first video port compatible with the second interface standard. A third group of signal traces maps receiver differential pairs pins in the first group of lanes on the interface connector to video input points corresponding to video input signals of the first video port compatible with the second interface standard.

Abstract: A number of pixels are received at a pixel rate that corresponds to a lower data transfer rate. The received pixels are delivered for display on a display device, over an interface that operates at a higher data transfer rate. These pixels are delivered as part of a stream that includes one or more codes that have been inserted between each adjacent pair of pixels so that the pixels in the stream are still delivered at the pixel rate. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: An interface operates at an operating frequency. The interface includes transmitters and receivers that operate within the operating frequency of the interface. The interface also includes circuit elements to allow transmission of signals across the interface in which the signals have a frequency lower than the operating frequency of the interface.

Abstract: A method of generating a clock signal from a moving medium includes detecting movement of at least one mark that moves synchronously with the medium. A generally sinusoidal output signal corresponding to movement of the mark is produced. The generally sinusoidal output signal is interpolated to provide a clock signal having a higher frequency than said generally sinusoidal output signal. The interpolation dynamically adjusts the phase of the interpolated output clock signal to correct for errors in the phase of said output signal. In one embodiment, servo tracks are written to a magnetic disk using a servo pattern signal, the phase of the servo pattern signal being adjusted relative to a clock signal. In another aspect, timing errors in a servo track writer are characterised.

Abstract: A display controller that includes a controller adapted to receive images selectable in real-time to any of a two or more of differing scanning resolutions, adapted to receive information regarding a fixed scanning resolution of a display device, and adapted to generate image borders taking into consideration the information of the fixed scanning resolution and a currently selected one of the two or more differing scanning resolutions, in order to control placement of the images on the display device.
