Abstract: An improved motor (90) broadly including a first member (30) and a second member (20) mounted for movement relative to one another. The first member has a plurality of poles (32) spaced substantially equidistantly. The second member has a plurality of arms (22). Each arm includes a plurality of fingers (27), a permanent magnet (29), and a coil (25). The fingers are arranged such that their distal end generally faces toward the poles on the first member. Each permanent magnet has a width that is greater than the pole spacing. Each arm is associated with one of a number of phases. The fingers of the arms within a particular phase are arranged such that they simultaneously align with respective poles when the first and second members are in one position relative to one another.

Abstract: A method for controlling an audio/video player to play back audio background includes: after a storage medium storing at least one still image file is loaded into the audio/video player, searching for an audio file corresponding to the still image file; and selectively playing back the audio file as the audio background during playing back of the still image file. An audio/video player includes: at least one loading module arranged to load at least one storage medium into the audio/video player; and a control circuit. After a storage medium storing at least one still image file is loaded into the audio/video player, the control circuit searches for an audio file corresponding to the still image file, and selectively plays back the audio file as audio background during playing back of the still image file when the audio file exists in the storage medium.

Abstract: A wireless communication device and method adapted for temperature monitoring and warning is disclosed. In its simplest form, it can include: providing (510) a multi-mode communication device including an unrestricted mode having an unrestricted operation temperature range, a restricted mode having a restricted operation temperature range and a warning mode having a warning operation temperature range; determining (520) if a temperature in proximity to the energy storage device is in at least one of the restricted operation temperature range, the unrestricted operation temperature range and a warning operation temperature range; and entering (540) the warning mode when in the warning operation temperature range. The warning mode can include a notification, banner or the like, to a user, to suggest that at least one active application be shut down.

Abstract: Quinazolines of the formula I in which R, R1, R2, R3, R4 and Y have the meaning indicated in Patent Claim 1, and their salts or solvates as glycoprotein IbIX antagonists.

Abstract: This invention is directed to vanilloid receptor VR1 ligands. More particularly, this invention relates to hetero isonipecotic amides that are potent modulators of VR1 which are useful for the treatment and prevention of disease conditions in mammals.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds of formula (I): wherein R3, R5, R7 and R8 are defined herein, which are useful as inhibitors SYK kinase and are thus useful for treating diseases resulting from inappropriate mast cell activation, which include allergic and inflammatory diseases. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and processes for preparing these compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antenna arrangement, an adaptive system comprising such arrangement, a portable electronic device comprising such arrangement or adaptive system, a method of manufacturing such an arrangement, and a computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for performing such method. The antenna arrangement can comprise at least one antenna element (110) configured to supply a current, at least one ground plane element (120) configured to conduct the current, and at least one magnetic element (130) configured to influence at least a part of the current in order to modify an electrical length of the at least one ground plane element (120). It enables to increase the electrical length of a terminal chassis, which may increase the operation bandwidth of the antenna-chassis combination. This effect can be further increased when combining at least one slot and at least one magnetic element covering the same at least partially.
