A diacritic chording system uses a single standard keyboard layout to generate diacritical characters used, for example, by Latin-based languages or languages based on a Roman character set, providing a universal keyboard The key combination required to select a diacritic is consistent, independent of the language the user is typing. The diacritic chording system uses chording to obtain characters modified by diacritics, i.e., diacritical characters. The key combinations in the diacritic chord are chosen in such a way to aid memorization by positional association of the keys or by logic association of the keys within the diacritic chord. The use of a combination of positional association and logical association eliminates conflicts in mapping diacritics for different languages. The diacritic chording system also provides a screen overlay as a mnemonic to illustrate which diacritic chords provide the desired diacritical character.

The present invention provides improved cathodes and industrialized methods for producing such cathodes using an industrial dosing valve-based electrode coating fluid emitting technique. The family of cathodes according to the present invention can be produced so that they inhabit a pre-existing metallic surface such as an inner surface of a titanium casing adjacent but insulated from direct electrical communication from an anode. Foil-type valve metal anodes as well as porous valve metal anodes formed from metallic powders may be used in conjunction with the cathodes of the present invention.

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, devices and method of frequency synthesis that generate in-phase and quadrature-phase clock signals at a programmable frequency. The generated frequency, which can range from a fraction to multiples of the input reference frequency, is generated by dividers following a phase-locked loop, thus avoiding the use of a low input reference frequency as well as frequency doubling.

A system and associated methodology are disclosed for targeting tags in a broadcast network. The tags may be associated with an ad or programming. In one implementation, the tags to be delivered at a user equipment device are selected at the user equipment device, for example, based on location or other user classification parameters. In this manner, different user equipment devices that are on the same bandwidth segment in the same network subdivision can receive different tags.

An optical pulses emitter includes a first and a second Fabry-Perot laser diodes. The first and second laser diodes have a first and second working optical wavelength band respectively, and the first and second working wavelength bands has at least an overlapped wavelength band. The emitter also includes a signal source in connection with the first laser diode such that a plurality of optical pulses over the first working optical wavelength band is generated and an optical filter for filtering the optical pulses so as to output a plurality of optical pulses primarily of a desired optical wavelength, which falls into the overlapped wavelength band. The emitter further includes an optical amplifier along an optical path between the first and second Fabry-Perot laser diodes for amplifying the optical signals passing therethrough. The optical pulses primarily of the desired optical wavelength are injected into the second laser diode, and the second laser diode, stimulated by the injected optical signals, outputs optical pulses primarily of the desired optical wavelength.

A system and method are provided for combined generation of I and Q signal references according to a periodic input signal and selective phase interpolation of an output signal with reference thereto. A ring oscillator portion generates an oscillator signal, and includes a plurality of delay stages interconnected in cascade to collectively execute an odd number of signal state inversions within a closed loop. The delay stages establish at respective nodes defined therebetween correspondingly delayed oscillator signal versions, successively shifted in phase by a predetermined phase difference. A signal injection portion selectively applies to at least one node of the ring oscillator portion a current bias according to the periodic input signal, and selectively adjusts each current bias in amplitude. The oscillator signal is thereby frequency locked to the periodic input signal, defining I / Q references with respect to the delayed oscillator signal version established at the current biased node.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for treating allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial hay fever), by application of flash lamp radiation. The nasal cavity can be illuminated in a safe and effective manner, with non-coherent light from a flash-lamp or other suitable source. This illumination can be accomplished in any suitable manner, including by use of a handheld device. Such handheld embodiments may contain a power source (battery or AC), control circuitry, light source (flash-lamp or diode laser), lens (focusing or non-focusing), light filter, and / or fiber-optic for delivering light to the nasal cavity. Embodiments include using any suitable light energy, such as visible light in the red wavelengths with a power output of 1 to 10 Joules per cm2. The device can be pre-programmed to deliver a specified amount of light in a specified amount of time using multiple pulses (in the case of a flash lamp) or a continuous wave (in the case of a diode laser). In many useful embodiments, a rigid fiber-optic extends from the lens / light filter a length of 10 to 20 mm, although it can be any convenient and useful size and shape. Contact sensors can be arrayed on the device for various purposes, such as to restrict illumination to times when the fiber optic is inserted into the nasal cavity. This and / or other safety features can prevent the high-intensity light from being fired into open space, a person's eyes, and / or otherwise causing a potential vision or other hazard. Preferably, the device can be easily and comfortably inserted into a nostril. The fiber-optic can be angled (either in its own shape or by the user manipulating it to a convenient angle / position) so as to allow the user to easily grip the device and insert the fiber-optic without having to use a mirror or other aid. Light from the device can be emitted at a specified light frequency that causes a desired immunosuppressive response in the cellular system.

The present invention relates to a gaseous fluid generation system, a columnar heating device, and a method for generating a gaseous fluid. In one embodiment, the gaseous fluid generation system includes a reservoir-less columnar vessel having a liquid fluid inlet and a gaseous fluid outlet and at least one resistive heating element contained within the columnar vessel. The columnar vessel is oriented such that the gaseous fluid outlet is elevated with respect to the liquid fluid inlet. In one embodiment, the gaseous fluid generation system includes at least one resistive heating element having a power density selected to heat a fluid selected from the group consisting of a liquid fluid, a saturated gaseous fluid and a superheated gaseous fluid. In one particular embodiment, resistive heating elements of the columnar vessel have a power density selected to heat both a liquid fluid and a gaseous fluid.
