Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of generating a graphic flow having an unlimited number of connections between shapes. The shapes are provided in a visual representation of a workspace defined by pixels. For instance, a first shape may have an outer perimeter defined by a first subset of the pixels; a second shape may have an outer boundary defined by a second subset of the pixels, and so on. Any pixel in each subset may serve as a connection point. For example, a first pixel of the first subset may serve as a first connection point based on any of a variety of first criteria, and a second pixel of the second subset may serve as a second connection point based on any of a variety of second criteria. In accordance with this example, a connection may be provided between the first and second connection points.

Abstract: Automatically generated user interfaces are provided to aid data population of object instances in graphical programming environments. A selection gesture identifies an instance of an object type. The public fields defined for the instance are automatically determined, and a user interface is automatically generated with the name of each defined field and a currently assigned value for each field that has one. Fields which have no currently assigned value are optionally displayed with a hint. The user interface can be placed in an application under development, such as a sequential workflow application, as a class initializer and/or as an object configurator. When the object to be populated has another object as a field, the fields of that nested object are similarly displayed. Data can be entered into a container object through the user interface without replacing prior value(s) of the container object.

Abstract: A coordination processing method for a self organizing operation includes obtaining a preset coordination relationship between a first self organizing operation and a second self organizing operation before performing the first self organizing operation. If the second self organizing operation exists, the first self organizing operation and the second self organizing operation are performed according to the coordination relationship. If the second self organizing operation does not exist, performing the first self organizing operation is performed.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide an amplifier. The amplifier includes a first path configured to generate a first current that has a first polarity third-order coefficient corresponding to an input signal, a swing adjustor configured to adjust a swing of the input signal, and a second path configured to generate a second current based on the swing-adjusted input signal. The second current has a second polarity third-order coefficient corresponding to the swing-adjusted input signal. The first current and the second current are combined to drive a load, such that a third-order inter-modulation (IM3) in the combined current is reduced. In addition, in a power amplifier example, parameters of the amplifier, such as a ratio of the swing adjustor, biases of transistors, a number of additional paths, are adjusted based on a detected power of the input signal, such that the IM3 reduction is achieved across a wide input power range.

Abstract: A method for detecting a capacitor loss is applicable to detecting a plurality of by-pass capacitors connected in parallel to each other. The detection method includes the following steps, an alternating current (AC) signal is input into the by-pass capacitors, in which the AC signal has a plurality of test frequencies; test voltages of the by-pass capacitors at each of the test frequencies are recorded, so as to form a test result table; it is determined whether the test result table is the same as a standard voltage table; and when a result of the determination is NO, a fail signal is output. By applying the detection method, whether a loss exists in the by-pass capacitors can be effectively identified, thereby solving the problem that small capacitors are undetectable when large capacitors are connected in parallel to the small capacitors.

The present invention is used for quickly reading a broadcast message of an intra-system or inter-system unknown neighboring cell.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transmitting a 3D model associated to stereoscopic content are described, and more specifically a method and an apparatus for the progressive transmission of 3D models. Also described are a method and an apparatus for preparing a 3D model associated to a 3D video frame for transmission and a non-transient recording medium comprising such a prepared 3D model. The 3D model is split into one or more components. It is then determined whether a component of the one or more components is hidden by other 3D content. For transmission those components of the 3D model that are not hidden by other 3D content are transmitted first. The remaining components of the 3D model are transmitted subsequently.

Abstract: In the context of IEEE 802.11 WLAN networks, enhancement to the Relaxed Deterministic Backoff (R-DEB) for random access of shared (Medium Access Control MAC) method. For all available candidate resource slots, a busy index is calculated that reflects the level of use/occupation in the past and infers a probability of use in the future by another concurring device. The method assumes the use of a sub-set of resource slots for transmission, and updates this set by replacing resource slots for which collisions are frequent with a not currently used candidate resource for which the busy index is the lowest. Passive Spoofing/overhearing of all resources for clear channel assessment (CCS) is used for resource monitoring purposes.

However, the subject invention includes plants having single cry1F or cry1Ac events, as described herein. Additionally, the invention is related to cotton plants derived from that transformation event and to assays for detecting the presence of the event in a sample. More specifically, the present invention provides DNA and related assays for detecting the presence of certain insect-resistance events in cotton. The assays are based on the DNA sequences of recombinant constructs inserted into the cotton genome and of the genomic sequences flanking the insertion sites.
