Abstract: A wireless handle for a battery tester, comprising a wireless signal transmitting/receiving means capable of exchanging information with a battery tester through wireless communication; an information input means; an information output means; and a signal processing and control means, wherein the wireless signal transmitting/receiving means, the information input means, and the information output means are coupled with the signal processing and control means. The wireless handle enables an operator to control some functions of the battery tester and/or monitor detected information remotely during the process of testing, which can increase efficiency of the testing and avoid any disturbance of the testing circuits caused by the information input means and the information output means.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to environmental friendly pesticide compounds, formulations, methods of preparation and application and utilities thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to pesticide compounds and formulations that include terpenes or terpenoids having chemical formula of (C5H8)n, and its derivatives and analogs thereof, as active insecticidal ingredients; certain botanical essential oils as synergists, and other select ingredients as additives.

Abstract: A scatter gather cache system and method are provided, which increase performance of scatter-gather DMA operations by reducing the time taken by the DMA engine to perform a logical to physical address translation. This is done primarily by two-dimensional caching of scatter-gather elements of selected scatter-gather lists using a novel indexing, line swapping and replacement methodology. The cache can also include a context victim table (CVT) for storing scatter-gather list contexts from evicted cache entries and also allows for pre-fetching of SGL elements from Scatter-Gather Lists (SGL). It also provides coherency support when there are multiple instances of the cache accessing the same memory space.

Abstract: An imaging device includes a housing, a lens unit, a detection unit, a central processing unit and a driving unit. The lens unit is configured for moving between a first position where the lens unit is received in the housing, and a second position where the lens unit extends from the housing. The detection unit is configured for detecting a current acceleration of the imaging device. The central processing unit is configured for receiving the current acceleration and generating a low driving voltage value if the current acceleration is smaller than a predetermined value and a high driving voltage value if the current acceleration is equal to or greater than the predetermined value. The driving unit is configured for receiving the generated driving voltage value from the central processing unit and retracting the lens unit from the second position to the first position based on the driving voltage.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel gene, gridlock, and its encoded protein. gridlock plays a role in vascular development and modeling, and a mutation in gridlock has been associated with an aortic arch disease, coarctation. Thus, gridlock nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides can be used in methods of diagnosing, treating, and preventing gridlock-related diseases and conditions, such as aortic arch diseases.
