A method for preparing a linoleic acid sustained-release algal inhibiting agent comprises the following steps that firstly, linoleic acid is dissolved through ethyl oleate, emulgator is added into the linoleic acid, and the emulsified linoleic acid is added into a solution of sodium alginate tech grade; secondly, the solution obtained in the first step is dropwise added into a glacial acetic acid solution containing chitosan and calcium chloride to form microspheres; thirdly, after the microspheres are cooled to the indoor temperature, a cross-linking agent is added into the cooled microspheres; fourthly, the process of suction filtration is carried out, and the microspheres to which the cross-linking agent is added are washed by petroleum ether and distilled water; fifthly, the linoleic acid sustained-release algal inhibiting agent is obtained after drying. Algal inhibition effective time is prolonged, the algal inhibition effect is improved, and cost is reduced. All adopted preparing materials are natural polymer materials which are non-toxic, good in biocompatibility and biodegradable, and the problems of secondary pollution caused by chemical algal removing and bio-concentration and biological amplification caused by chemical medicines can be effectively avoided.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates reducing the power needed for proximity communication. This system includes an integrated circuit with an array of transmission pads that transmit signals using proximity communication. This array is comprised of a set of macropads, where each given macropad is comprised of a set of micropads that can be configured to transmit a signal. A steering fabric routes signals to and within macropads, such that a subset of the micropads in the array can be configured to transmit the signal to a receiving component. Each macropad receives a limited number of input signals, with the steering fabric routing input signals to the micropads of the macropads. By limiting the number of input signals that are routed to the micropads of the macropads, the steering fabric eliminates redundant steering configurations for the array and reduces the power needed to transmit the signal.

Disclosed is an AD converter including: a first conversion stage including a quantizing part to generate m parallel pieces of quantized signals from m pieces of input analog signals representing n-dimensional vectors (n≦m≦2n), a decoding part to generate m pieces of decoded analog signals from the m parallel pieces of quantized signals, and a residual amplifying part to output m pieces of amplified residual signals by multiplying respective differences between each of the m pieces of analog signals and each of the m pieces of decoded analog signals; a second conversion stage including a quantizing part to generate m parallel pieces of quantized signals from the m pieces of amplified residual signals; and a synthesizing part to generate m parallel pieces of digital signals by synthesizing each of the quantized signals in the first conversion stage and in the second conversion stage at each parallel position.

An electronic fund transfer (EFT) system capable of displaying a menu including one or more user-defined custom transactions associated with an identification card so that the user can select a desired transaction by a single selection or with limited inputs. The transactions may be defined by a user during a set-up / authorization operation and / or may be stored based on transactions performed by the user. Additionally, the transactions may be stored on the identification card, in a local memory of a transaction terminal and / or in a system memory of the EFT system. A single identification card may be used to enable the user to select from a plurality of financial accounts with different institutions. Another asset of an ATM system and method comprises a graphical user interface that enables a user to select a transaction type and the transaction parameters necessary to define that transaction from a single display. By use of a pointing device (and possibly other input devices), the user can select or change selections for the transaction type and / or transaction parameters. Preferably, the display is created using object-oriented programming and has a plurality of objects corresponding to the transaction type and transaction parameters. Using the pointing device, the user selects the transaction type. Once the transaction type is selected, the transaction parameters necessary to define the selected transaction type are selected. The ATM system may preselect transaction types and / or transaction parameters based on stored information relating to the user (such as a previous transaction or other information). If the selections are as the user desires them to be for the desired transaction, then the user can simply click on a command button (e.g. a button labeled “OK”) to cause the transaction to be executed. This potentially reduces the number of inputs or selections that a user must make to execute a desire transaction.
