An apparatus and method that allow the automatic reconfiguration of a switching network to occur when determined conditions occur.

A droplet polymerization process is provided to create efficacious molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). Such imprinted polymers have increased surface area for adsorptive or catalytic reactions. This method provides for monomer-template interactions in the absence of a suspending medium, thereby permitting formation of MIPs with increased template molecule selectivity and substantial processing ...

A speaker device has a pair of speaker units each including a magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuits are opposed and connected to each other by a binding member. Vibrations generated by the speaker units are canceled to each other so that the occurrence of unnecessary vibrations can be suppressed and the transient characteristic can be improved. Acoustic load members are arranged in the front por...
