Abstract: Method, systems, and devices for designing a test molecule are disclosed. An example method includes using a molecular simulator to generate sets of simulation data. Each set of simulation data may include simulation data indicative of simulated locations in a solvent of (i) molecules of a reference molecule and (ii) molecules of one of M test molecules. The method may also include determining a probability of contact between an a species and a ? species for each set of simulated data. A contact may occur when a particle of the ? species is within a range of radials distances from a particle of the ? species. Each of the a species and the ? species may be one of the reference molecule, the solvent, or one of the M test molecules. The method may further include determining a simulation result based on at least one probability of contact.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for providing an embedded service-oriented user interface integration bus. According to one embodiment, a system can be provided having a memory for storing computer executable instructions and a processor in communication with the memory via a computer interface. The processor can be adapted to execute computer executable instructions for receiving a user interface service request from an application module associated with a first platform. The processor can also be adapted to transform the user interface service request from the application module to a user interface service request for a host platform. The processor can also be adapted to match the transformed user interface service request to a platform service on the host platform and to transform the platform service for the host platform into a platform service for the client.

The motor/generator may be advantageously employed in electromechanical and electromagnetic devices.

Abstract: A system that transmits signals through a communication channel. During operation, the system receives a sequence of bits for transmission through the communication channel. While transmitting a given bit, the system determines if the given bit has the same state as the previously transmitted bit. If so, the system uses a voltage-mode driver to drive a signal through the communication channel. Otherwise, the system uses a current source coupled to the voltage-mode driver to boost the drive-level of the voltage-mode driver. Note that the current source supplies a current to the communication channel without changing the impedance of the voltage-mode driver. In this way, the present invention compensates for frequency dependant losses in the communication channel without sacrificing impedance matching and without substantially increasing power consumption.

Abstract: A system and method communicate information from a single-threaded application over multiple I/O busses to a computing subsystem for processing. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that partitions state-sequenced information for communication to a computer subsystem, communicates the partitioned information to the subsystem over a plurality of input/output busses, and separately processes the information received over each of the plurality of input/output busses, without first se-sequencing the information.

Abstract: This invention relates to an EMI and EMP shield configured to arrest electromagnetic contamination of sensitive electrical and microprocessor equipment. Particularly, the present invention enables a positive dynamic seal for moving parts and joints by means of resilient and self-adjusting conductive contacts. The contacts provide electrical bonding, between otherwise separate and electromagnetically leaky joints, to arrest EMI and EMP contamination.

Abstract: A portable vapor generator is disclosed that can provide a controlled source of chemical vapors, such as, narcotic or explosive vapors. This source can be used to test and calibrate various types of vapor detection systems by providing a known amount of vapors to the system. The vapor generator is calibrated using a reference ion mobility spectrometer. A method of providing this vapor is described, as follows: explosive or narcotic is deposited on quartz wool, placed in a chamber that can be heated or cooled (depending on the vapor pressure of the material) to control the concentration of vapors in the reservoir. A controlled flow of air is pulsed over the quartz wool releasing a preset quantity of vapors at the outlet.

Abstract: A compact rammer assembly for forcing ammunition into a gun having a rammer head attached to a pair of chains which are stored in separate spiral tracks positioned between the retracted position of the rammer head and driven sprockets. Each chain composed of links pinned together with vertical tabs at each end of each link; the tabs on each link engaging the tabs on adjacent links of each chain as well as the corresponding tabs on the links of the other chain when the sprockets driven the chains to extend the rammer head.
