Abstract: A method for delivering therapeutic radiation during a radiation treatment procedure to a tumor moving within a patient due to physiological activity of the patient includes: in a preliminary procedure, monitoring motion of the tumor to generating and record a surrogate signal representing the tumor motion; determining a radiation therapy plan for the patient including a planned sequence of varying parameters of a radiation beam to track the tumor motion and a planned rate of execution of the planned sequence; configuring a radiation therapy device to deliver radiation in accordance with the radiation therapy plan, positioning the patient within the device, and activating the device to perform the planned sequence; monitoring tumor motion during the procedure to provide a treatment surrogate signal; determining the difference between the estimated and treatment surrogate signals; and regulating the speed of the radiation treatment procedure by varying the rate of execution of the sequence of beam paramete

Abstract: A thinner composition includes propylene glycol ether acetate, methyl 2-hydroxy-2-methyl propionate, and an ester compound such as ethyl lactate, ethyl 3-ethoxy propionate or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: A speaker device for a portable terminal including a first housing and a second housing coupled to the first housing and rotating towards or away from the first housing while facing the first housing. The speaker device includes a speaker unit mounted in the second housing, first sound output holes formed in the second housing, and second sound output holes formed in the first housing. When the second housing is folded to the first housing, a sound output from the speaker unit is guided into the first housing through the first sound output holes, travels inside the first housing and is output through the second sound output holes. In the speaker device for the portable terminal, the speaker unit and the resonating space are separately positioned in the housings, thereby providing a mellow volume and a high-quality sound and contributing to slimness of the portable terminal.

Abstract: A variety of elastomeric-based microfluidic devices and methods for using and manufacturing such devices are provided. Certain of the devices have arrays of reaction sites to facilitate high throughput analyses. Some devices also include reaction sites located at the end of blind channels at which reagents have been previously deposited during manufacture. The reagents become suspended once sample is introduced into the reaction site. The devices can be utilized with a variety of heating devices and thus can be used in a variety of analyses requiring temperature control, including thermocycling applications such as nucleic acid amplification reactions, genotyping and gene expression analyses.

Abstract: An improved polymer device for conducting a multiplicity of individual and simultaneous binding reactions or performing other separation techniques is described. The apparatus comprises a polymer substrate on which are located discrete and isolated sites for such reactions or separation phenomena. The apparatus is characterized by discrete and isolated regions that extend through said substrate and terminate on a second surface thereof such that when a test sample is allowed to the substrate, it is capable of penetrating through each such region during the course of a reaction. The use of castable polymer techniques improves the manufacturing flexibility and cost over prior materials and fabrication methods and also provides certain improved properties such as lower specific stiffness and ease of lamination or bonding to other elements of a device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multicasting network apparatus and method for an ATM switching system having a banyan network and a route network which includes a header encoder part for generating a header, a boolean splitter network for copying a cell routed from the banyan network to thereby transmit the same to a route network. The boolean splitter network includes a plurality of boolean splitters, each of the boolean splitters includes the step of dividing the destination addresses of a cell into an upper group and a lower group and selecting an active port to thereby route the same. As described above, any extra translation table is not required owing to a cell copying operation according to the present invention, whereby the number of hardware components can be reduced, and an expansion can be easily performed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for vertical S linearity correction with no external components. A periodic waveform may be cubed to produce a second waveform. This second waveform may be sampled to obtain a peak value of the periodic waveform. The peak value may be multiplied by a constant to produce an offset value. The offset value may be subtracted from the second waveform to produce a third waveform. This third waveform may be added to the periodic ramp voltage. Consequently, the periodic waveform is modified by a cubic waveform.
