  • TASK BASED USER INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20080046834
    Abstract: A facility for guiding users through a series of steps or tasks, often associated with a process, is described. The facility assigns tasks or steps to users having roles identified with the task or step. The role associated with the task or step may change depending on the state of the task or step. When the role associated with a task or step changes, the facility may assign the task or step to another user. The facility guides a user through a task or step by providing instructions and other information, such as data tables and user input fields, that may be used to complete the task or step. The facility provides for the definition of processes by allowing users to specify tasks, steps and instructions relating to processes.

  • Data writing method for RAID
    Patent number: 7328308
    Abstract: A data writing method for RAID performs at a write cycle including a first clock and a second clock, and cooperates with a first disk, a second disk, a third disk, and a memory module. The disks store a first checking data, a second data, and a second checking data. The memory module stores the second data including a third segmented data and a fourth segmented data and the first checking data stores. First step of the method is during the first clock, writing the fourth segmented data into the second disk, reading the third segmented data from the first disk, and writing the first checking data into the third disk. Then, during the second clock, the second checking data are calculated according to the third segmented data and the fourth segmented data of the second data, and the second checking data are stored in the memory module.

  • Method of making NiO and Ni nanostructures
    Publication number: 20080019901
    Abstract: The alpha form of nickel (II) hydroxide is formed by dissolving a compound of nickel (II), such as nickel acetate, in a water miscible dihydric alcohol (diol), such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and suitable oligomers, and adding a suitable base such as sodium carbonate. The ?-Ni(OH)2 precipitate is separated from the diol-based mother liquor and dried. This stable ?-Ni(OH)2 can be calcined at temperatures in the range of about 573K to about 1073K to form nanometer-size particles of NiO having, for example, fibrous shapes. And the small particles of NiO can be reduced with hydrogen to form small, fibrous nickel particles. Both the NiO particles and Ni particles have utility as catalysts and offer utility in applications requiring electronic and/or magnetic properties.

  • Method and related apparatus for data migration of disk array
    Patent number: 7313651
    Abstract: While performing data transfer for reading data from a source disk or disks and writing the read data to disks of a disk array, data reading is repeated until accumulated read data can be split into several sub-data with a data size of each sub-data not smaller than a write maximum. Then, these sub-data are written into the disks of the disk array. In this way, the invention can take full advantage of each writing control to write as much data as possible, and the number of writing controls can be reduced to reduce the demands on the computer system.

  • Coarse frequency estimation in an OFDM receiver based on autocorrelation of accumulated samples
    Patent number: 7274758
    Abstract: An OFDM receiver has an autocorrelation circuit configured for generating an autocorrelation result from samples of received short preamble symbols in a received data packet, where the autocorrelation circuit generates each autocorrelation result based on accumulation of the samples having been received for the short preamble symbols. Hence, by using all received samples of the short preamble symbols, the autocorrelation based on accumulated samples minimizes the effect of noise and provides a more accurate coarse frequency estimation result.

  • Ligands for mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and methods for screening for or designing MR ligands
    Publication number: 20070111265
    Abstract: The inventors disclose a 1.95 ? crystal structure of the MR ligand binding domain containing a single C808S mutation bound to a corticosterone and the fourth LXXLL motif of steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC1-4). The inventors demonstrate that SRC1-4 is the most potent MR-binding motif and mutations that disrupt the MR/SRC1-4 interactions abolish the ability of the full-length SRC1 to coactivate MR. The structure also reveals a compact steroid binding pocket with a unique topology that is primarily defined by key residues of helices 6 and 7. Also described are novel ligands for MR, methods for screening for and designing novel MR ligands, and methods for treating MR-related diseases.
