This invention relates to processes for the assembly of three-dimensional structures having periodicities on the scale of optical wavelengths, and at both smaller and larger dimensions, as well as compositions and applications therefore. Invention embodiments involve the self assembly of three-dimensionally periodic arrays of spherical particles, the processing of these arrays so that both infiltration and extraction processes can occur, one or more infiltration steps for these periodic arrays, and, in some instances, extraction steps. The product articles are three-dimensionally periodic on a scale where conventional processing methods cannot be used. Articles and materials made by these processes are useful as thermoelectrics and thermionics, electrochromic display elements, low dielectric constant electronic substrate materials, electron emitters (particularly for displays), piezoelectric sensors and actuators, electrostrictive actuators, piezochromic rubbers, gas storage materials, chromatographic separation materials, catalyst support materials, photonic bandgap materials for optical circuitry, and opalescent colorants for the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions.

An improved mechanism for routing communication traffic between a radio access network and distributed antenna system (DAS) remote antenna units. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a DAS hub and each DAS antenna unit served by the DAS hub will sit as a respective node on a packet-switched network. Further, the DAS hub will maintain or otherwise have access to a set of mapping data that correlates one or more radio access network coverage segments (e.g., cell sectors) with one or more DAS antenna unit addresses on the packet-switched network (e.g., IP addresses). Advantageously, an administrator of the DAS can then configure or alter the mapping data whenever desired, to conveniently set the RAN-DAS correlations and to thereby distribute RAN coverage in a desired manner throughout the DAS.

A combination mattress includes a plurality of independent barrels each having two resting faces and an outer peripheral face extending between the two resting faces. Each independent barrel has a recess extended through the two resting faces. The independent barrels are combined together with the outer peripheral faces abutting mutually.

An apparatus for signaling information in a network environment is provided that includes an access gateway operable to establish one or more packet data protocol (PDP) links on behalf of an end user. The access gateway is operable to communicate a message associated with a change in quality of service, locale, or policy enforcement relating to a selected one of the PDP links to a client services packet gateway (CSPG). The CSPG responds to the message by providing an accounting command for the selected PDP link such that synchronization is achieved between accounting information and a state associated with the selected PDP link.

An air conditioner having an enhanced user perception and a controlling method thereof are provided. A predetermined character and/or its applied character image are/is displayed on a display window of the air conditioner. The character and/or the character image are/is changed depending on the operational states of the air conditioner, so that the user perceives the operational state of the air conditioner more conveniently. The air conditioner has advantages in that the user can perceive the operational state of the air conditioner more conveniently, the user can be stimulated to purchase the product, and a use term of the air conditioner can be extended.

Disclosed is a power supply device for electronic atomizer, which includes a housing having a battery compartment formed therein, at least a battery installed in the battery compartment and a control circuit having an input side electrically connected with the battery and an output side electrically connected with an output electrode terminal. The control circuit includes a microcontroller unit, a mode selection module connected with the microcontroller unit for selecting working mode of the electronic atomizer, a regulation module connected with the microcontroller unit for regulating working parameter of the electronic atomizer and a start button connected with the microcontroller unit for controlling whether the electronic atomizer starts up. The mode selection module is a multi-position switch and the microcontroller unit is able to being triggered to start corresponding working modes by switching the multi-position switch to be different positions. The present invention has the advantage of convenient to use.

A reconfigurable structure for a panel of a portable personal computer is adapted to allow the panel of a portable computer housing to be provided with an attachment surface; the panel and a cover plate are respectively provided with first pivotal connection portions and second pivotal connection portions capable of being pivotally connected to each other so as to allow the cover plate to be liftably fixed on the panel of the portable computer housing and an article to be held between the cover plate and the panel of the portable computer housing. Whereby, the outlook or the pattern of the panel of the computer can be changed to attain to the requirement that the outlook of the computer is matched up with a personalized desire.

A drive mechanism for an agricultural planter includes a first electronic controller, a second electronic controller, a hydraulic valve manifold, hydraulic drives for the seed and fertilizer hoppers, and a feedback sensor from the hydraulic drives to the second electronic controller. The first electronic controller is located in the cab of the tractor connected to the planter, while the second electronic controller is mounted on the planter to control the operation of the hydraulic drives. The feedback sensors provide data as to the operation of the hydraulic drives. Another sensor associated with the forward speed of the planter also provides input to the second electronic controller so that the second controller can coordinate the operational speed of the hydraulic drives to provide the rate of application of the seed and fertilizer products desired by the operator. Changes in the rate of application of either the seed or fertilizer materials can be accomplished through input to the first electronic controller.

A system for managing a network of environmental control units (ECUs) enables an ECU user to more easily move from one living environment to another. The system allows an ECU to be conveniently configured based on the contents of an ECU configuration profile database that stores ECU user profiles and living environment profiles, without manual reprogramming of specific user or living environment characteristics. An ECU configuration profile database is maintained that stores user profiles made up of user specific ECU configuration information, and living environment profiles made up of living environment specific ECU configuration information. Each user profile contains user specific characteristics that reflect an associated user's disability, physical characteristics and/or preferences. Each living environment profile contains living environment characteristics that describe the living environment devices located in an associated living environment, including information regarding how those devices can be controlled by an ECU. Individual user profiles and living environment profiles are independently stored in and retrieved from the ECU configuration profile database. The ECU configuration profiles stored in the ECU configuration profile database can each be uploaded from, and/or downloaded onto, any ECU in the network of interconnected ECUs through an administrator tool application program that provides a sophisticated and powerful graphical user interface to an administrator user.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) transfer is provided over radio links between mobile stations and base stations with a mechanism to schedule initial transmission within voice spurts when semi-persistent allocation of radio resources is employed. The radio link is changed during the voice spurt by allocating different physical resource blocks or by changing transmission parameters with given rescheduling intervals. The scheduling is informed from the base station to involved MS by using data link layer VoIP packet padding bits. The radio link can also be changed per initiative of the MS so that the MS codes a predetermined request into data link layer padding bits of an uplink VoIP packet. The requests from the MS typically involve a change of audio coding mode or informing of the present packet buffer status for VoIP packets at the MS.
