The one-way valve is moveable relative to the body between first and second positions (i) one of which permits the valve to open so that substance from the variable-volume storage chamber can flow therethrough and into the syringe or other delivery device connected in fluid communication therewith, and (ii) one of which prevents the valve from opening.

An operation method of programming, erasing, and reading a silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) non-volatile memory device having a tunnel oxide layer thicker than 20 Å is provided. A program operation of the method is accomplished by applying a program voltage higher than 0 volts and a ground voltage to a gate electrode and a channel region of a selected SONOS cell transistor, respectively. Also, an erasing operation is accomplished by applying a ground voltage and a first erase voltage lower than 0 volts to a bulk region and a gate electrode of a selected SONOS cell transistor, respectively, and by applying a second erasure voltage to either a drain region or a source region of the selected SONOS cell transistor. The second erase voltage is a ground voltage or a positive voltage. In addition, a read operation is accomplished using either a backward read mode or a forward read mode. Thus, it is possible to remarkably improve a bake retention characteristic, which is sensitive to a thickness of the tunnel oxide layer.

The present invention provides a chemical liquid injection system in which a chemical liquid injector can detect whether or not the injection of a liquid from a liquid syringe into a patient is inappropriate for a personal reason such as the development of a side effect although the liquid is of an appropriate type for the injection system, and the chemical liquid injector can issue an alarm to notify the inappropriate injection. Chemical liquid injector 100 acquires a product ID of the liquid recorded on liquid chip 214 of liquid syringe 200 and an inappropriate ID recorded in a electric chart to output a notification when the product ID matches the inappropriate ID.

A power control interface between an unstable power source such as a wind farm and a power transmission line employs an electrical energy storage, control system, and electronic compensation module which act together like an "electronic shock absorber" for storing excess power during periods of increased power generation and releasing stored energy during periods of decreased power generation due to wind fluctuations. The control system is provided with a "look ahead" capability for predicting power output (wind speed conditions) and maintaining energy storage or release over a "narrow-band" range despite short duration fluctuations. The control system uses data derived from monitoring the wind farm power output and the power transmission line, and employs system-modeling algorithms to predict narrow-band wind speed conditions. The power control interface can also use its energy storage capacity to provide voltage support at the point of injection into the power transmission system, as well as fault clearance capability for "riding out" transient fault conditions occurring on the power transmission line.

A two terminal semiconductor device for producing light emission in response to electrical signals, includes: a terminal-less semiconductor base region disposed between a semiconductor emitter region and a semiconductor collector region having a tunnel junction adjacent the base region; the base region having a region therein exhibiting quantum size effects; an emitter terminal and a collector terminal respectively coupled with the emitter region and the collector region; whereby application of the electrical signals with respect to the emitter and collector terminals, causes light emission from the base region. Application of the electrical signals is operative to reverse bias the tunnel junction. Holes generated at the tunnel junction recombine in the base region with electrons flowing into the base region, resulting in the light emission. The region exhibiting quantum size effects is operative to aid recombination.

The invention discloses a hybrid direct-current transmission converter. The hybrid direct-current transmission converter is provided with four topological structures which are series connection circuits formed by combining anodes and cathodes of current source type valve group units and positive electrodes and negative electrodes of voltage source type valve group units in different modes.

The invention discloses a display panel and a display device. A threshold compensation circuit comprises a first threshold compensation transistor, a second threshold compensation transistor and a shielding capacitor. Wherein a first threshold compensation transistor and a second threshold compensation transistor are arranged; the length L of the channel region of the transistor can be increased equivalently, and the current I of the transistor is inversely proportional to the length L of the channel region, so that when the length L of the channel region is increased, the current I of the transistor can be reduced, and the quantity of charges flowing into the node N1 from the node N4 can be reduced. Moreover, by arranging the shielding capacitor, the charge of the node N4 can be stored inthe shielding capacitor by utilizing the charge storage effect of the shielding capacitor. Therefore, during signal switching on the scanning signal line, charges of the node N4 can be prevented frombeing injected into the node N1, so that the voltage of the grid electrode of the driving transistor can be kept stable, and the display uniformity of the display panel is improved.

The field-effect transistor includes a thin oxide semiconductor which is formed substantially perpendicular to an insulating surface and has a thickness of greater than or equal to 1 nm and less than or equal to 30 nm, a gate insulating film formed to cover the oxide semiconductor, and a strip-like gate which is formed to cover the gate insulating film and has a width of greater than or equal to 10 nm and less than or equal to 100 nm. In this structure, three surfaces of the thin oxide semiconductor are covered with the gate, so that electrons injected from a source or a drain can be effectively removed, and most of the space between the source and the drain can be a depletion region; thus, off-state current can be reduced.

As fluid is returned along the fluid return channel, air in the fluid is released above the fluid in the container to prevent injection of air into the fluid in the container.

Single-phase currents at two frequencies f alpha and f beta (f alpha <nxfs<f beta ) of non-integral multiples of a system fundamental wave frequency fs sandwiching an targeted harmonic (frequency nxfs) are injected between two phases of a three-phase power system as interharmonic currents.
