"The obtained results are plotted in FIG7. FIG7 shows individual throughput gain with respect to legacy Wi-Fi when an LBT WN shares the medium with 5 background Wi-Fi WNs, whose offered load increases. It can be seen that 3GPP LAA negatively impacts on Wi-Fi even when lightly loaded. This is more obvious when the frame duration is long (10ms). When the TLBT = 1ms, 3GPP LAA leaves Wi-Fi unaffected but exhibits decreasing performance up to the point where the relative load is precisely 50% (observe the LBT minimum), following which the LBT gain grows at the expense of Wi-Fi. ORLA and OLAA policies do not affect non-saturated Wi-Fi WNs. ORLA provides steady throughput gains above 100% up to the point where the WLAN saturates, and OLAA's performance grows with Wi-Fi activity level, again exceeding 100% improvements."

The rotatable brush B has a transparent light conducting material in its core that acts as a light guide LG. Further, the core has radially placed holes or light guides in the core in order to guide the light from the core to the outer part of the rotatable brush roll where it can radiate to the ambience via a plurality of openings L. Further, one or more LEDs are positioned in the vacuum cleaner nozzle in such a place that the LED does not rotate but shines light in axial direction into the transparent core of the rotatable brush B. The LED is therefore positioned in a static part of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, and the LED is thus not vulnerable to high rotation speed or pollution of connection. Also, as the LED is in a static part, no expensive sliding contacts are needed to apply power to the LED. ",

"FIG1 illustrates schematically a wheelchair with a wheel provided with a backstop arrangement according to the present invention"
] | [
"The present invention relates to a wheelchair and more specifically to the main driving wheels of a wheelchair. An exemplifying wheelchair is depicted in FIG1, wherein a wheelchair 1 essentially comprises a seat 2, a back 3, a foot support 4, and two wheels 5. Each of the two wheels 5 is provided with an outer gripping ring 6 and an internal backstop arrangement 7. In FIG1 only one of the two backstop arrangements 7 is visible. By providing the wheels 5 with backstop arrangements 7, a wheelchair user can rest without risking that the wheelchair 1 moves backwards, which is a feature that is extremely helpful when, for example, travelling uphill. As will be demonstrated below, the backstop arrangement 7 is selectively engageable, which provides the advantages of a backstop function without impairing the user's ability to, e.g., maneuver the wheelchair 1 in narrow spaces and without preventing the user from moving backwards when the user so wishes, something which is more or less necessary when, for example, negotiating an obstacle such as a pavement edge or a curb. A selectively engageable backstop arrangement 7 has also positive effects on the amount of energy needed to propel the wheelchair 1 and reduces the wear of the backstop arrangement 7, as was explained above.",
"Still with reference to FIG1, the backstop arrangement 7 comprises further a wheel hub 8 with a wheel axle (not visible in the figure) and a backstop selector 9, which, due to the present invention, effectively works as a combined gear and backstop selector 9. As will be seen and explained below, a combination of a backstop arrangement, such as backstop arrangement 7, and a gear-shift arrangement provides several advantages; and in such a case the wheel hub 8 is preferably an internal-gear hub 8 comprising a planetary gear system, which as such is well-known in the art. Suitable internal-gear hubs are, for example, commercially available from the company Sturmey-Archer, e.g. the model S3X."

Raw dust was used as input to the rinser/shaker and samples were taken and tested after the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth rinse. The raw dust is shown to be relatively fine. However, clumps of dust are apparent after the first rinse and the clumps become smaller after the second rinse. These images that show the clumping suggest the removal of clay is not efficient.

"FIG2 shows a flow chart of an example method of manufacturing a contact lens. In a first step a tubular mold having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the finished contact lens is assembled 50. To produce the rod a predetermined quantity of liquid lens precursor composition is first poured 52a into the mold while the mold is held upright. The lens precursor composition is then heat cured 52b to form a solid end portion of the rod. The remainder of the rod is then built-up in stages by repeating a process of (i) placing 54a an electronic device on top of the previously cured portion of rod, (ii) covering 54b that electronic device with liquid lens precursor composition and (iii) curing 54c that liquid lens precursor composition. The process of 'placing' 54a, 'pouring' 54b and 'curing '54c' is repeated for each electronic device. By using the same quantity of liquid lens precursor in each stage, methods in accordance with the present example may result in a rod having a plurality of electronic devices equidistantly spaced apart along its length. Provided a sufficient quantity of lens precursor composition is used, the final stage will also produce a second end portion of the rod in which no electronic devices are located."

"Preferably, the central section of the motif or loop includes a sequence for a primer binding site. A primer binding site is a region of a nucleotide sequence where a primer binds or anneals to start replication. The primer specifically anneals to the primer binding site due to the complementary nature of their sequences. The primer binding site may be designed such that primers can anneal which are complementary to a part or portion of the primer binding site, see for example FIG10A Alternatively, the primer binding site and primer may be the same length. Primer design, and thus the sequence of the primer binding site are discussed in more detail further below. The primer binding site is at least 5 residues in length, but can be 5 to 50 residues (bases) in length. Ideally, the primer binding site is 5 to 30 or 5 to 20 residues in length, optionally 5 to 16 residues in length. The primer binding site may be at least 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 residues in length. It is preferred that the primer binding site forms a part or portion of the central section, adjoined by at least one sequence which separates the primer binding site from the flanking sequences. The adjoining sequence may be present on the 3' or 5' side of the primer binding site, or be present on both sides of the primer binding site. The adjoining sequences may be of any suitable length, and each of the adjoining sequences is independent - i.e. the presence, length or nature of the adjoining sequence may be different on either side of the primer binding site, if present. Each adjoining sequence may be up to 50 residues in length, preferably up to 40, up to 30 or up to 20, most preferably, 15 residues in length. The adjoining sequences may therefore be at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 131, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 residues (bases) in length. ",
"Table 3 show the dsDNA reaction yield of amplified closed linear DNA after feeding of reactions with dNTPs. In contrast to a standard closed linear DNA amplification (Table 2), it can be seen that for all primers tested, the yield of dsDNA product increases with dNTP additions. This indicates that the concatameric product produced by amplification of the closed linear DNA template (db_eGFP 53SL) is primable and is further amplified to produce more dsDNA product. FIG10B shows that the dsDNA product is converted to a closed linear DNA (db_eGFP 53SL) by treatment with TelN protelomerase. This show that all the primers are specific and are capable of producing the desired closed linear DNA end-product (with included stem loop motif)Table 4. dsDNA yield results from feeding of a stem loop closed linear DNA (db_eGFP) primed with different stem loop specific primersNo of 2.5mM dNTP feeds Total [dNTP]None 2.5mM1 5.0mM2 7.5mM3 10mM[dsDNA] µg/ml from 4to11 primer208356430810[dsDNA] µg/ml from 3to12 primer193364430890[dsDNA] µg/ml from 2to13 primer3826727542400[dsDNA] µg/ml from 1to14 primer3827346644620[dsDNA] µg/ml from 0to15 primer3004265522560"

"In FIG8 an alternative embodiment 800 of processing means 125 is illustrated. Similar to processing means 700, processing means 800 comprises one or more interfaces 801 (\"I/O\" in FIG8) for controlling and/or receiving information from other components comprised in computing device 120/500/600, such as camera 121, display 124, and communications module 126. Processing means 800 further comprises a location selection module 803 which is configured for causing computing device 120/500/600 to perform in accordance with embodiments of the invention as described herein. In particular, location selection module 803 is configured for selecting a physical location for placing a current virtual object based on an expected physical location which a user of the AR software application assumes in response to displaying the physical scene and the overlaid current virtual object to the user, and an attribute which is spatially dependent in the surroundings of the user and which has an impact on a user experience of the AR software application. For instance, the physical location for placing the current virtual object may be selected by determining, for at least one candidate physical location for placing the current virtual object, the expected physical location which the user assumes in response to displaying the physical scene and the current virtual object to the user, and evaluating a value of the spatially-dependent attribute at the expected physical location. The physical location for placing the current virtual object is then selected based on the plurality of values of the spatially-dependent attribute evaluated at the at least one candidate physical location. The expected physical location which the user assumes in response to displaying the physical scene and the overlaid current virtual object to the user may, e.g., be within a predetermined range of, or equal to, the candidate physical location."

"FIG6 is a flowchart illustrating process 600 in accordance with an embodiment. The process can be implemented by computer by executing instructions in a processor or otherwise. In operation 601, asynchronous timers of different frequencies from one another that are not, in this case, harmonics of each other are set. In operation 602, a predetermined number of first bits from a first entropy source are collected according to a first timer of the asynchronous timers. In operation 603, a Hamming distance is calculated between successive collected first bits. In operation 604, the first bits are accepted into a first accumulation buffer based on the Hamming distance exceeding a minimum. In operation 605, Hamming distances between successive collections of first bits are summed into an accumulated value of entropy attributed to contents of the first accumulation buffer. In operation 606, contents of the first accumulation buffer are presented to a pseudo-random number generator. In operation 607, a specified number of second bits from a second entropy source are gathered according to a second timer of the asynchronous timers. In operation 608, the second bits are accepted into a second accumulation buffer, the second accumulation buffer having a different size than a size of the first accumulation buffer. In operation 609, the contents of the second accumulation buffer are presented to the pseudo-random number generator"

Process 600 may be performed by processing logic which may include software, hardware, or a combination thereof. For example, process 600 may be performed by speed planning module 321 and/or speed re-planning module 322. Referring to FIG6, in operation 601, processing logic receives a request to decelerate an autonomous vehicle from a first location and to stop at a second location. In operation 602, processing logic determines a first zone and a second zone within a distance from the first location to the second location. In operation 603, processing logic decelerates the autonomous vehicle based on a first deceleration rate from a current speed of the autonomous vehicle to a predetermined speed within the first zone. In operation 604, processing logic decelerates the autonomous vehicle based on a second deceleration rate from the predetermined speed to a stop within the second zone. The first deceleration rate is different than the second deceleration rate."

"A representative sample of material was taken and placed in a cylindrical test cell having calibrated dimensions. Details are shown in the table of FIG5a. The volume of the cylindrical test cell was 3244cm3 and the surface area of the internal footprint was 181cm2. The mass of the wheat sample was 2707.05g. The initial height of the sample in the cell was 179.23mm (column D). The initial density was measured as 741.99kg/m3 (column F). For the purpose of this example, the stockpile had a height of around 8m. The source of the sample can often influence the estimated mass of the stockpile because variations in the material can occur. The example herein uses a 'representative sample'.",
"The sequential calculation and simulated force upon the wheat sample was repeated, as shown and tabulated in FIG5a. The purpose of the simulated force upon the representative sample is to enable the density of each layer to be estimated.",
"In the example of FIG5a the total calculated mass is 61906kg, which is 4.29% higher that the mass of 59360 that would have been calculated if the \"bulk density\" had been used. It can be seen from columns K, L and M that the difference between the known technique (no layering) and method of the invention (measurements per layer) increase as the depth of the stockpile increases.",
"In light of the teaching herein the depth of the layers can be increased or decreased by estimating the density from a previously recorded measurements, such as that shown in FIG5a. Estimates of the density for deeper or shallower layers can be determined form a \"best fit\" curve, such as a polynomial curve, through the density measurements."

"FIG3 illustrates one example of control signals for the transmission circuit 105, the first reception circuit 110, and the second reception circuit 115. The time gate circuit 120 is configured to generate multiple control signals including the transmission control signal 191 to control the shape generator 130, the first mixer control signal 192 to control the first mixer 145, the first sample-and-hold control signal 193 to control the first sample-and-hold circuit 150, the second mixer control signal 194 to control the second mixer 165, and the second sample-and-hold control signal 195 to control the second sample-and-hold circuit 170.",
"In the example of FIG3, the motion detector 100 is set to a detection range of 15.2 m (50 feet). The RF burst travels approximately 1ft/ns. Since the RF burst travels roundtrip to a target and back to the motion detector 100, it takes approximately 6.7 ns per meter (2ns per foot) of detection range. In this example, the first mixer control signal 192 activates the first mixer 145 for 100ns. This limits the maximum detection range of the first channel to 15.2 m (50 feet). RF reflections received after 100ns do not pass through the first mixer 145 due to the lack of the first mixer control signal 192 after 100ns.",
"The second reception circuit 115 is configured for a shorter detection range to provide masking detection for the motion detector 100. In the example of FIG3, the second mixer control signal 194 is activated for 10ns to limit detection to a range of 1.5 m (5 feet). In this way, any motion that occurs within the range set by the second mixer control signal 194 is likely to be indicative of masking attempts to the motion detector 100. The second mixer control signal 194 may be delayed by a small time interval (for example, 2ns) to prevent detection of motion of spiders and insects as described above."
