摘要:
An article comprises a carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) substrate, a buffer layer disposed adjacent the substrate, the buffer layer comprising a poly(para-xylylene) polymer; and a moisture barrier coating disposed adjacent the buffer layer.
摘要:
An LED assembly (50) includes a plurality of LEDs including a first LED (52, 56, 60) of a first colour and a second LED (54, 58, 62) of a second colour. The assembly also includes a driver(53). The driver (53) includes a monitor (55) for monitoring a response of an LED, the absorption spectrum of which at least partially overlaps the emission spectrum of the first LED,and thereby obtaining an indication of the light output of the first LED. The assembly also includes a current supply (57). The driver(53)is configured to control the current supply to supply current to at least one LED of the plurality of LEDs in dependence upon the indication of the light output of the first LED whereby to maintain a desired colour mix of output light from the LED assembly(50).
摘要:
A computer-based detection tool for detecting whether content within a given document is common to content within a plurality of other, existing documents, the detection tool comprising: a character string recognizer for recognizing character strings in the content of the given document; a character string distinguisher for distinguishing main character strings and auxiliary character strings in the recognized character strings by reference to a closed list of main character strings; an encoder for encoding the content of the given document by assigning one or more digits to each main character string and one or more digits to auxiliary character strings; and a matcher for matching a plurality of n-digit streams from within the encoded content with any corresponding n-digit streams within previously-encoded content of the one or more other documents. The character strings may be encoded as a bit-stream.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of preparing an oil absorbent composition. The method comprises heating and then de-mineralising a precursor plant material under conditions suitable to produce an oil absorbent composition comprising charcoal. The invention extends to oil absorbent compositions per se , such as charcoal-based compositions, and to various uses of the compositions for efficiently and rapidly absorbing spilled oil, for example from water surfaces, or from bituminous sands.
摘要:
Described are melanoma specific biomarkers comprising the nucleic acid sequence of the Engrailed-2 (EN2) gene or the amino acid sequence of the encoded EN2 protein. Also described are uses of the biomarkers in the treatment, diagnosis, monitoring and imaging of melanoma.
摘要:
Described are bladder cancer specific biomarkers and lung cancer specific biomarkers comprising the nucleic acid sequence of the Engrailed-2 (EN2) gene or the amino acid sequence of the encoded EN2 protein. Also described are uses of the biomarkers in the treatment, diagnosis, monitoring and imaging of bladder cancer and lung cancer.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for preparing antimicrobial material. The method comprises heating material comprising wood or bark or material derived therefrom, under conditions sufficient to render the material antimicrobial. The invention also relates to antimicrobial materials prepared by such methods, and to various uses of the antimicrobial materials, for example in reducing microbial activity in animal bedding, such as that which is used in poultry farming.
摘要:
A method of separating a mixture of acoustic signals from a plurality of sources comprises: providing pressure signals indicative of time-varying acoustic pressure in the mixture; defining a series of time windows; and for each time window: a) providing from the pressure signals a series of sample values of measured directional pressure gradient; b) identifying different frequency components of the pressure signals c) for each frequency component defining an associated direction; and d) from the frequency components and their associated directions generating a separated signal for one of the sources.
摘要:
A mobile station positioning method for a cellular communications system includes evaluating an initial position estimate of a target mobile station having an initial area of uncertainty, evaluating a position estimate of a further mobile station of the system, estimating distance between the target and further mobile stations and using the position and distance estimates to evaluate a new position estimate of the target mobile station having a reduced area of uncertainty. Bi-circular and tri-circular methods are described.
