Method and apparatus for analyzing radiation using analyzers and employing the spatial modulation of radiation dispersed by wavelength or along a line.

The laminar article for electrical use comprises a plurality of superposed first metal laminations fixed together. Each of the first laminations is provided with at least one fastener projecting from a first surface thereof and defining a recess in its opposite side. Each fastener of one lamination is arranged to fit into a recess of an adjacent lamination. The article presents second laminations interposed between at least two adjacent first laminations fixed together. The second laminations are provided with through apertures which are traversed by the fasteners which fix the adjacent first laminations together. The method consists of die-cutting a plurality of laminations from a metal sheet, rotating the die-cut laminations and superposing them, to then fix them together in predetermined manner. The laminations can be die-cut with a reference axis thereof rotated through a predetermined angle about a reference axis of the sheet metal, to limit the rotations to be imposed on the laminations during their mutual fixing.

An electrical heating device according to the invention and which fulfils the practical requirements, in particular with high voltage operation in an improved manner has at least one heat dissipating element which is situated, with the intermediate positioning of an electrically insulating layer, on the assigned heat generating element and can be electrically connected to a ground potential.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating or preventing ulcers in subjects having low red blood cell levels and / or hemoglobin levels (e.g, anemia). In some embodiments, the compositions of the disclosure may be used to treat or prevent ulcers associated with anemia.

A universal solder pad is used with a plurality of SMD components having different sizes. Each SMD component includes a first conductive part and a second conductive part. The universal solder pad includes a first pad unit and a second pad unit. The first and second pad units are electrically connected to the first and second conductive parts of the SMD component, respectively. Each of the first and second pad units includes a main portion and a first extension portion. The first extension portion is extended from a first sidewall of the main portion and includes a first border, a second border and a third border. The second border and the third border of the first extension portion are parallel with each other for facilitating alignment of the first and second conductive parts of the SMD component with respect to the first pad unit and the second pad unit.

A stringed musical instrument, such as a guitar, whereby the lower end of the strings are anchored to the soundboard itself with one or more of the string anchors being positioned past the bridge. This arrangement provides an offset of the lateral compressive forces to the entire soundboard, therefore allowing the soundboard to vibrate more freely in response to the string vibration, and creating an acoustical perpetuating effect. Due to the inherent strength to this design, internal soundboard bracing can be minimized in weight and size as well, which offers a fuller and louder sound, with an increase in sonic balance and sustain. The string instrument also includes a split bridge design with the bridge body secured on the soundboard and having a saddle thereon for providing a contact point with the strings and a string retainer body secured separately from the bridge body on the soundboard and positioned behind the bridge body having directing means to guide each string.

A technique for reducing the likelihood that a frequency detector will incorrectly assert control over a VCO because of metastable-induced errors involves qualifying frequency detector control signals by requiring multiple consecutive control signals that indicate the frequency detector should assert control over the VCO before the frequency detector is allowed to assert control over the VCO. In an embodiment, the frequency detector control signals are qualified by a series of full-swing library cell flip-flops.

A processing device and method for processing packets of encoded real-time data to perform a gradual fade-out and fade-in of a signal. Upon detecting the beginning of a packet loss period, a last correctly received packet is repeated with gradually increased attenuation to slowly fade out, for example, an audio signal. At the end of the packet loss period, the device slowly fades in the signal by attenuating the first or a number of packets received following the loss period. The method may be performed with low complexity by decrementing segment numbers of samples of data packets such as in a lookup operation.

An electrical heating device according to the invention and which fulfils the practical requirements, in particular with high voltage operation in an improved manner has at least one heat dissipating element which is situated, with the intermediate positioning of an electrically insulating layer, on the assigned heat generating element and can be electrically connected to a ground potential.

A rod for supporting components in a fuselage cell structure, in particular produced with fibre-reinforced composite materials, of an aircraft, in particular for supporting at least one floor frame on at least one annular former and / or at least one further component of the fuselage cell structure.In accordance with the invention the rod is formed, at least in portions, with a metal foam, in particular for the absorption of crash loads.The metal foam can transform, irrespective of its inherent weight, the high mechanical loads produced in the event of an accident into work of plastic deformation at the microcavities within the metal foam.A first variant of the rod is almost completely formed by a metal foam, whereas a second embodiment comprises merely a core made of the metal foam with a relatively small diameter, which core is surrounded coaxially by a support casing and an outer sleeve.

A fabrication method for a liquid crystal display. A pair of substrates is provided. An alignment layer is formed on the respective substrates. An energy beam is irradiated on a predetermined area of at least one of the alignment layers. The alignment layer is rubbed to form a first pretilt-angle area in the predetermined area exposed to the energy beam, and a second pretilt-angle area not exposed to the energy beam. The pair of substrates are bonded with a preset gap therebetween, and a liquid crystal layer is inserted between the substrates. The liquid crystals corresponding to the first pretilt angle area have a first pretilt angle of θ1, while those corresponding to the second pretilt angle area have a second pretilt angle of θ2.
