Abstract: Method for real-time and online monitoring the freeze-thaw damage of concrete, firstly, embed pairs of gradient electrical resistance probes into surface of the monitoring concrete at the depth of 0˜50 mm, the paired gradient electrical resistance probes adopt anti-corrosion metal bar, and the buried depth gradient of different pairs of electrical resistance probes in the range of 1 mm to 20 mm, and the buried depth gradient of the pair of electrical resistance probes nearest to the surface is less than 5 mm. Transmit the impedance value of the concrete measured by the paired gradient electrical resistance probes to the monitor center for processing. Judge the spalling status of freeze-thaw damage of concrete though the abrupt change in impedance value. Real-time online monitoring of the freeze-thaw damage of concrete can be achieved by the electrical resistance probes and monitoring center of this invention.

Abstract: A method and system for connection management in a wireless data network, such as a 1xEV-DO network adds connections to new network sectors upon receipt of a connection request from an active terminal, but removes data connections that the active terminal requests to be dropped only after confirmation from the active terminal that a channel allocation message has been received and applied. The active network maintains an active set of connections that is at least as large as the active set maintained by the active terminal and does not initiate a connection termination if no confirmation of the channel allocation message is received. This allows for a reduction in the number of dropped connections.

Abstract: Concentrations of certain miRNA, mRNA and/or protein markers in the biological fluids and/or tissues of a subject are used to determine the probability that the subject does or does not have Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The concentrations of these markers in fluids and/or tissues are different in subjects with PTSD as compared to subjects who do not suffer from this disorder.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a vehicular vision system includes providing a camera at a vehicle, with the camera having a field of view. Images are captured with the camera and a set of resultant images are acquired for a classification. Information is extracted related to image features in the set of resultant images, and an appropriate subset of coefficients is determined. For each classification, a classification vector of at least one appropriate weight is stored that corresponds to the determined subset of coefficients.

Abstract: A vehicle interior classification system and method determines a classification relating to the interior of the vehicle, such as the occupancy status of a vehicle seat or the state of alertness of a vehicle driver, from one or more images of an appropriate portion of the interior of the vehicle acquired with an image capture device. The acquired images may be processed to limit the dynamic range of the images to obtain a resultant image that includes one or more regions of interest which are less than the total field of view of the image capture device. The resultant images are processed to extract information about features in the image. The set of coefficients produced with suchprocessing can be reduced to a subset of the total number of coefficients, the members of the subset being selected for their ability to discriminate between the classifications defined for the system.

Abstract: A pumpless, fanless electrolyte-circulation system comprises an electrolyzer core that generates hydrogen and oxygen gases and includes a water electrolyzer having a plurality of electrolytic serial clusters connected substantially in parallel with each other and assembled into respective sealed reaction cells. Each of the electrolytic serial clusters includes a plurality of electrolytic cells. An electrolyte container includes a plurality of electrolytes in form of a concentration and is substantially separated from and connected to the electrolyzer core with a supply tube and return tube. A frame is substantially resistant to the concentration and separates a plurality of electrodes. Releasing of the gases brings the electrolytes in the electrolyzer core out of the electrolyzer core through the supply tube into the electrolyte container. The return tube allows each of the electrolytes to enter the electrolyzer core such that the electrolyte is forced to circulate by a releasing force of the gases.

Abstract: A piezoelectric ink jet head that includes a polymer film, for example a flex print, located between the piezoelectric element and the reservoirs in the jet body. The film provides an efficient seal for the reservoirs and also positions the electrodes on the side of the piezoelectric element in which motion is effected, which can reduce the magnitude of the drive voltage. This location of the compliant flex print material also can enhance electrical and mechanical isolation between reservoirs, which improves jetting accuracy. The compliance of the polymer also reduces strain on the ink jet head.

The substrate may be rotated around an axis of a plane where the evaporation source is positioned, and the substrate is tilted by a predetermined angle with respect to the plane. The compound semi-conductive film thus prepared has a uniform thickness with a larger area. The method provides a simplified process and enhanced efficiency.
