Abstract: Disclosed herein are aspects of methods to control airflow to a fuel cell stack and a cooling fan within a housing by fluidly connecting a predetermined minimum volume of airflow through the housing to the fan and a series of louvres, adjustable apertures, and bypass valves dynamically adjust the air flow to at least one of one of the fuel cell stack and fan providing the required minimum volume of fluid to the fan during different controller based modes of operation.

Abstract: A system and method which compensates for phase mixer circuit non-linearities within a clock and data recovery (CDR) system during active operation. The CDR system includes compensation circuitry and phase accumulation circuitry. The compensation circuitry generates a first compensation signal based on a first compensation value. The phase accumulation circuitry receives the first compensation signal and a phase accumulator input update signal. The phase accumulation circuitry combines the first compensation signal with the phase accumulator input update signal to compensate for a first non-linearity within phase mixer (PMI) circuitry.

Abstract: A storage bin assembly includes a fixed bin portion, an articulating bin portion, and an articulation system. The fixed bin portion is configured to be mounted to an aircraft, and has a cavity configured for storage of luggage. The articulating bin portion is coupled to the fixed bin portion, and includes a shelf configured for supporting luggage. The articulation system movably couples the articulating bin portion to the fixed bin portion. The articulating bin portion is movable from a first position in which the articulating bin portion is proximate to the fixed bin portion to a second position at which the articulating bin portion is separated from the fixed bin portion and lower than the fixed bin portion.

Abstract: Synthesis of the novel compound 3 (3-(5-substituted Oxy-2,4-dinitro-phenyl)-2-oxo-propionic acid ester) to make Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) and using it for pharmaceutical purposes is described. More specifically, this disclosure relates to synthesizing the PQQ in an efficient method by using a novel intermediate Formula 1 resulting in a shorter process and higher yield of PQQ. A unique process to make sodium compound of PQQ using either sodium hydroxide and/or sodium carbonate is also shown.

Abstract: A computing device having an optimized file system and methods for use therein. File system optimizations include sector-aligned writes, anchored cluster searches, anchored index searches, companion caches dedicated to particular file management data types and predictive cache updates, all of which expedite processing on the computing device. The file system optimizations are especially advantageous for data collection systems where an embedded device is tasked with logging to a target memory data received in a continuous data stream and where none of the streamed data is deleted until after the target memory has been offloaded to another device.

Abstract: Automatic recovery from loss of a security token on an embedded device is achieved by having a service provider (SP) server send to a device server a backup copy of the security token in conjunction with sending to an embedded device a primary copy of the security token, and retrieving from the device server and sending to the embedded device the backup copy of the security token upon detecting that the primary copy of the security token has been lost. The method and system obviate the need for a user to have to re-input on the embedded device a credential that is represented by the security token in the event the primary copy of the security token is erased from the embedded device or otherwise becomes inaccessible to the embedded device.

Abstract: Web feed display templates are created and used to reduce the time and cost to conform web feeds to device constraints and content provider display guidelines. A web feed display template is customized for a particular type of device and a particular web feed. The display template is created by administrative input of values for predefined display parameters. The values are selected to conform the web feed to the constraints of the device and content provider display guidelines for the web feed. When a user of the device subscribes to the web feed, the display template is used to dynamically create web pages containing web feed items that conform to the constraints of the device and the content provider display guidelines.

Abstract: Anatabine is obtained by reacting benzophenoneimine with 3-aminomethyl pyridine to form benzylhydrylidene-pyridin-3-yl-methyl-amine. The benzylhydrylidene-pyridin-3-yl-methyl-amine is treated with a non-nucleophilic base and a dielectrophile, such as cis-1,4-dichloro-2-butene, followed by acidification, then basification, to provide anatabine. The resulting anatabine is substantially free from contaminants and displays good stability. In an alternative embodiment, the benzylhydrylidene-pyridin-3-yl-methyl-amine may be used in the synthesis of other alkaloids such as anabasine, nornicotine, N-methylanabasine, and anabaseine.
