Abstract: Technology to provide a multi-phase clocking scheme for a memory device includes generating, based on a first clock signal having a first frequency, multi-phase clock signals for a memory device having a second frequency, where the second frequency is a fraction of the first frequency, generating local clock signals for data channels of the memory device based on the multi-phase clock signals, where the local clock signals are synchronous with respective rising edges of the multi-phase clock signals, and providing output data for the data channels of the memory device in an output data sequence based on the local clock signals. In some embodiments, the second frequency is one-half of the first frequency, and the multi-phase clock signals are four-phase clock signals. In some embodiments, the output data is clocked out at an effective rate equal to the first frequency based on the local clock signals.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a tandem-structured bio-organic light emitting diode (bio-OLED) for photodynamic therapy, and to a photodynamic therapy device including the same to convert a red light emitted from the bio-organic light emitting diode into a near-infrared light (NIR) emission, thereby enabling the use of a PBM therapy in a wide wavelength range of 600 to 1,000 nm.

Abstract: A jack and dolly assembly provides power-assisted lifting and moving capabilities using a single power source, according to an embodiment. In some embodiments a first shaft is used for lifting and lowering an object, and a second shaft is used for causing the jack and dolly assembly to move on a generally horizontal surface. In some embodiments the first and second shafts may selectively move or rotate independently from one another while being powered by the single power source. In some embodiments an inner and outer shaft arrangement is provided, so that the outer shaft has a hollow interior and at least a portion of the inner shaft is positioned within the hollow interior.

Abstract: A moisture content indicator for visually indicating the moisture content of a wood substrate and methods of making the moisture content indicator are provided.

Abstract: A heart valve delivery apparatus includes a valve carrying member. A prosthetic valve is crimped onto the valve carrying member at a location that is distal or proximal to the balloon member, thereby providing a smaller profile delivery apparatus.

Abstract: Methods and devices for blocking orifices and occluding cavities within a patient are provided. The device in one variation comprises first and second tubular members attached to a collapsible sealing element. The device can be placed through an orifice and the collapsible sealing element can be collapsed to seal the orifice. An embolic may be introduced distal to the sealing element to occlude a cavity. The device may incorporate a locking mechanism which can be engaged to lock the sealing element into the collapsed position. The device may incorporate a valve to prevent flow through the tubular members, for example to prevent egress of the embolic from a cavity. The device can be detached to provide a permanent seal of the orifice, and can retain the embolic within the cavity. The device may be used in conjunction with a stent or other retention device to assist the sealing element in maintaining the seal.
