Abstract:
A tip, connected to a metal chip component, for forming readable changes in a memory storage system is disclosed. The tip includes a conductive layer, an amorphous silicon layer, and a silicide outer layer. The silicide outer layer contains a metal that has an anneal temperature to form the silicide outer layer at a temperature below that which damages the chip component.
Abstract:
A tear resistant film comprises more than five layers situated one on the other in a parallel array. The layers are individually selected from a stiff polyester or copolyester, a ductile polymeric material, and optionally, an intermediate material. The stiff polyester or copolyester is oriented in at least one direction. Tear resistance may be measured in a Graves area test and reflects the ability of the film to absorb energy. The films of the invention are useful in many articles including security control laminates for glazing members.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for a high thermal conductivity (HTC) paper that comprises a host matrix, such as mica, and HTC materials intercalated into the host matrix. The HTC materials are comprised of at least one of nanofillers, diamond like coatings directly on the host matrix, and diamond like coatings on the nanofillers.

Abstract:
A unique triangular point for use by a glazier has a star shaped central opening such that a plurality of such points can be stacked in oriented relationship to one another, and can be retained by a cotter key having skewed legs such that the key is easily inserted in opposed notches of the aligned openings in the points, and such that the key can be twisted for removal when inserting the stack of points in a conventional point driver. A plastic retainer is also disclosed and is adapted to fit into the aligned openings of the stacked points.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the amelioration of resorptive bone loss in osteopenia including administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of an exogenous hyaluronan formulation.
Abstract:
The present invention facilitates the thermal conductivity of fabrics by surface coating of the fabrics with high thermal conductivity materials 6. The fabrics may be surface coated when they are individual fibers or strands 4, bundles of strands, formed fabric or combinations therefore. A particular type of fibrous matrix used with the present invention is glass. Some fabrics may be a combination of more than one type of material, or may have different materials in alternating layers. HTC coatings of the present invention include diamond like coatings (DLC) and metal oxides, nitrides, carbides and mixed stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric combinations that can be applied to the host matrix.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for removing closures from containers that are assembled in cases which are moved seriatum into position below multiple spindles arranged with respect to the container positions in the case. Each spindle has a non-rotatable internally threaded nut with a freely rotatable externally threaded screw therethrough, and a head unit for gripping a closure on the container. Axial displacement of the multiple spindles with respect to the containers causes the head unit of each spindle to grip a container only by its closure, if it has one thereon. Axial displacement of the screw with respect to the nut rotates the screw with sufficient torque to break any bond or seal securing the closure without need of holding the container to prevent its rotation.
