This paper proposes a bio-potential measurement apparatus including a wireless device for transmitting acupuncture bio-potential information to a remote control station for health conditions analysis and monitor. The key technology of this system is to make replaceable foam-rubber cushions, double-side conducting tapes, chip and antenna on the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The foam...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C(16)H(14)N(4)·C(8)H(6)N(2), consits of one mol-ecule of N,N'-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine (PDAB) and one half-mol-ecule of quinoxaline (QX) that is located around an inversion centre and disordered over two overlapping positions. The PDAB mol-ecule adopts a non-planar conformation with an E configuration at the two partially double exo C N b...

The application of powders to fingerprints has long been established as an effective and reliable method for developing latent fingerprints. The powders adhere to the ridge pattern of the fingerprint only, thus allowing the image to be visualised. Fingerprints developed in situ at a crime scene routinely undergo lifting with specialist tapes to facilitate subsequent laboratory analysis. As with...

We have previously reported the development of a cryogen-free critical current characterization system able to measure field-angle dependences voltage-current characteristics short-length superconducting tapes temperatures 25 K, fields up 8 T and currents 875 A. now extended existing built parallel which further extends parameter space 10 12 T, 1600 With software suite that fully automates batc...

This protocol describes a simple approach for adhesive-tape-based sampling of tomato and other fresh produce surfaces, followed by on-tape fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for rapid culture-independent detection of Salmonella spp. Cell-charged tapes can also be placed face-down on selective agar for solid-phase enrichment prior to detection. Alternatively, low-volume liquid enrichments...

PURPOSE To compare 2 radiographic assessment methods for congenital talipes equinovarus: strapping the ankle with tapes versus dorsiflexion with a wooden block. METHODS Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were taken with the ankle strapped by tapes or dorsiflexed by a wooden block. Talocalcaneal and tibiocalcaneal angles were measured and analysed. RESULTS 20 radiographic assessments we...

To collect data for the study of charm particle decays, we built a high speed data acquisition system for use with the E791 magnetic spectrometer at Fermilab. The DA system read out 24 000 channels in 50 μs. Events were accepted at the rate of 9 000 per second. Eight large FIFOs were used to buffer event segments, which were then compressed and formatted by 54 processors housed in 6 VME crates....

The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) records proton-antiproton collisions at center of mass energy of 2.0 TeV at the Tevatron collider. A new collider run, Run II, of the Tevatron started in April 2001. Increased luminosity will result in about 1 PB of data recorded on tapes in the next two years. Currently the CDF experiment has about 260 TB of data stored on tapes. This amount includes raw...

Abstract Rare-earth barium-copper-oxide (REBCO) superconductors are high-field fabricated in a tape geometry that can be utilized magnet applications well excess of 20 T. Due to the multilayer architecture tape, delamination is one cause mechanical failure REBCO tapes. During slitting step manufacturing process, edge cracks introduced into tape. These thought potential initiation sites for crac...

This paper summarizes the fundamental expressiveness, closure, and decidability properties of various finite-state automata classes with multiple input tapes. It also includes an original algorithm for the intersection of one-way nondeterministic finite-state automata.
