This invention describes a new methodology for a cell reselection by a mobile station (MS) for improving network interconnection and interoperability in a limited mobile access environment. The invention is applicable to any kind of networks and their interconnections. The invention describes how the MS can better recover from failed intersystem cell reselection attempts so that there are fewer subsequent failed attempts using two major improvements. First, the MS takes into consideration during cell reselection evaluation and candidate-cell selection, whether the MS had previously been unsuccessful in reselecting the considered cell. This means treating neighbor cells to which the MS had failed reselection before with a lower priority in subsequent cell reselection evaluations. Second, the MS is allowed to stop monitoring and thus, to stop evaluating cells if it was earlier found that the access to those cells is forbidden.

A monitoring system has biomechanical sensors, physiological sensors and a controller which receive sensory inputs from the sensors to provide output signals for the output device, and it detects from the sensory inputs risk of a syncopal event The bio-mechanical sensors include sensors arranged to allow the processor to detect a user postures and posture transitions. The processor operates a finite state machine, in which there is a state corresponding to each of a plurality of user physical postures and to each of a plurality of transitions between said postures, and the processor determines a relevant state depending on the sensory inputs. A device output may be muscle stimulation to prevent syncope, and there are stimulation permissions associated with the finite state machine states.

A method of reducing or eliminating change in a cash transaction includes receiving a cash payment for an article or a service from a buyer; and crediting at least part of change from the cash payment due the buyer to an account of the buyer over an electronic medium. A system of reducing or eliminating change in a cash transaction includes a merchant terminal that processes a cash payment received from a buyer for an article or a service; a communication device that sends a message over an electronic medium specifying that at least part of change from the cash payment is to be credited to an account of the buyer; and a change credit apparatus that credits the at least part of the change to the buyer's account.

Described is a system and method whereby processes may have multiple memory maps associated therewith to provide curtained memory and overcome other memory-related problems. Multiple maps are used to restrict memory access of existing code such as drivers, without changing that code, and without changing existing microprocessors. A thread of a process is associated with one memory map at a time, which by mapping to different memory locations, provides memory isolation without requiring a process switch. Memory isolation may be combined with controlled, closed memory map switching performed only by trusted code, to ensure that some protected memory is inaccessible to all but the trusted code (curtained memory). Map switching among multiple maps eliminates the need to change a process in order to access different memory, thereby allowing expanded memory addressing in a single process and isolating untrusted code run in process from certain memory of that process.

The invention relates to a method and device for monitoring dynamic current capacity of aerial power line, comprising: 1) equipping the neutral wire having the same material and size with the live wire parallel with the live aerial power line, wherein, the temperature of the neutral wire is set to be T, and the actual temperature of the live wire of the actual line is set to be T; 2) the computing formula of the line dynamic current capacity is given; 3) calculating the equivalent wind-speed coefficient M; 4) calculating the line dynamic current capacity Imax, i.e. the value of the line dynamic current capacity. The invention eliminates the meteorology parameter variation thereby simplifying calculation and having stable result fluctuation and correct result by using special temperature measuring device to measure the temperatures of the live actual wire and the neutral wire in real time, and proposing a new algorithm which uses actual wire temperature and the temperature of wire of the same type to substitute the wind-speed and wind-direction in convection loss in the dynamic current capacity calculation.

A power bone-cutting saw system exhibits the cutting efficiency of a circular saw, but retains the practical dimensions of an oscillating saw blade. A circular saw blade, available in a variety of diameters, is positioned at the end of a narrow, low-profile elongated support. The support houses a drive assembly that efficiently transmits power from a standard hand-held portable saw to the blade. The support can rest on modified saw guides for total joint procedures, providing the surgeon with a compact, efficient and precise bone-cutting tool. In the preferred embodiment the circular saw and support are single-use disposable units, available in a variety of lengths and widths. In an alternative embodiment, twin blades are used to eliminate changes in height between the blades and the support.

The invention in general terms relates to an antenna device for a telecommunication station, able to transmit or receive a signal and comprising a plurality of radiating elements disposed in a periodic arrangement having at least one spatial periodicity. The device has antenna configuration means adapted to cause the value of the said spatial periodicity to vary according to the transmission conditions. The antenna device can in particular be configured so as to operate according to a beam shaping mode or according to a spatial diversity mode.

A coaxial plug-in connection, particularly for printed circuit boards. An outer and inner conductor are assigned to each board, and can be electrically connected to the outer or inner conductor of the other respective board via a sleeve-shaped plug-in adapter coupling that encompasses a corresponding outer conductor portion and an inner conductor portion. The inner conductor of the printed circuit board is a spring metal sheet, one end of which is fixed to the board or an insulating element, while the other end is free to engage with the inner conductor portion of the plug-in coupling, which is configured as a contact pin.

In particular, the system may include an enhanced resolution flow cytometer. In an embodiment, the invention can include at least one fluid source conduit (24) that introduces 0 fluid source stream (24) into an enhanced resolution nozzle (25) at an angle that enhances particle resolution by the cell sensing system (13).

The present invention provides a linear and curvilinear motor system capable of gilding smoothly on a rail formed by a linear rail and an arc rail, and performing precise location. Specifically, a linear and curvilinear motor system includes: linear and curvilinear guiding devices movably guiding and respectively supporting right and left of a slider, each having a guide rail configured by linear tracks and a circular arc track and slider blocks; a motor unit having a stator with a stator linear section which is a permanent magnet (111a) and a stator circular arc section which is a permanent magnet (111b) and a mover, wherein the mover and the stator disposed at the slider and away at an interval and provided with a coil (11) with the linear section; and an encoder head (30) and a Hall sensor (31) detecting positions of the linear tracks and the circular arc track. When a magnetic pole pitch of the linear section of the stator is a distance [lambda]m and a magnetic pole pitch of the circular arc section of the stator is an angle [gamma]m, a radius r of the circular arc track at the position detection point is defined as r=[lambda]m/[gamma]m.
