Feedback Control of Particles in Microfluidic Devices
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006Microfluidic devices process microscopic particles and molecules suspended in exceedingly small quantities of fluid. That fluid flows very quickly through the microscopic channels located within the microfluidic device. Because the amount of fluid is so small, fluid flow is a complex process presenting exceptional control challenges to the...

QEG-f1 Red Raspberry (Rubus ideaus L.) (Jaclyn)
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006This new and distinct cultivar called “Jaclyn” is early fall bearing fruit and differs from' Anne' in bearing red fruit, while 'Anne' bears golden fruit.Compared with Anne', 'Jaclyn' produces more root and crown-suckers and has significantly earlier ripeness period for the primocane fruit, which is usually more free from rot and sunscald in the...

Excentric Labeling: Dynamic Neighborhood Labeling
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006The widespread use of information visualization is hampered by nonoptimal labeling techniques. Labels are often used to show additional information when a cursor is placed on an on-screen object, but this has drawbacks when there are many objects that overlap each other or when objects are closely grouped, as the label may not display for...

Method and Apparatus for Analyzing Co-Evolving Time Sequences
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006In many applications, data of interest comprises multiple sequences that each evolves over time. Examples include currency exchange rates, network traffic data from different network elements, demographic data from multiple jurisdictions, patient data varying over time. These sequences are not independent; in fact they frequently exhibit...

Tracking and Recognizing Facial Expressions
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006This technology explores the use of local parameterized models of image motion for recovering and recognizing the non-rigid and articulated motion of human faces. Parametric flow models (for example affine) are popular for estimating motion in rigid scenes. We observe that within local regions in space and time, such models not only accurately...

JCRf1 Fall Bearing Red Raspberry ( Caroline )
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006This invention is a unique fall bearing red raspberry cultivar, JCRf1. The fruit of the new species is 25% larger than the standard fall bearing cultivar for the region ‘Heritage.’ It also ripens fruit 3 weeks earlier in the fall than ‘Heritage’ which allows culture in areas further north than now attempted. The species is particularly adapted to...

Wing Pitch Angle Control Device
Published Sunday, November 12, 2006A wing using this invention is distinctly different from other wings that have been made in that it is completely self contained, solid state, and requires no actuators inside the fuselage. A torque plate allows it to be stowed and extended without the complication of mechanical linkages. Also, the use of low-cost actuator materials may bring...

A Guard Cell-Specific Tool for Molecular Manipulation of Drought Tolerance/Water Loss in Plants
Published Thursday, November 9, 2006In response to sunlight, drought and other stimuli, guard cells control the opening and closing of microscopic stomatal pores on leaves of plants through which the plant gives off water vapor and oxygen to the atmosphere and takes in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Guard cells thereby moderate the amount of water and carbon dioxide in plants...

SOFC Anode Material by Flame Spray Pyrolysis
Published Tuesday, May 30, 2006In recent years, the Ni/YSZ (YSZ: Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2) cermet anode has been shown to be very promising for use in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells ( SOFCs). However, stability at high temperatures (~1000 °C) is required for long-term operation of such cells. In general, Ni grains in a Ni/YSZ cermet sinter easily at temperatures over 800°C, and...
