In one embodiment the present invention provides for a method of forming HTC dendritic fillers 40 within a host resin matrix that comprises adding HTC seeds 42 to the host resin matrix. The HTC seeds have been surface functionalized to not substantially react with one another. The seeds then accumulate HTC building blocks 42, and the HTC building blocks have also been surface functionalized to not substantially react with one another. Then assembling the HTC building blocks with the HTC seeds to produce HTC dendritic fillers 40 within the host resin matrix.

A quick connector is adapted to be attached to a fluid-containing vessel, such as an aerosol can. The quick connector includes a body having a passage through which fluid can flow when the quick connector is attached to the vessel. The quick connector preferably includes an attachment mechanism in the form of a plurality of radially flexible legs angularly disposed around a longitudinal axis of the passage and extending proximally from the body. An inwardly disposed finger is disposed at the proximal end of each of the legs. The locking ring travels between a first position in which the legs are free to flex outwardly and a second position in which the legs flex inwardly such that the fingers engage the vessel rim when the quick connector is attached to the vessel. Some embodiments include a floating capitulator to accommodate vessels having fluid delivery stems of varying sizes.

An automated method provides an efficient arrangement for setting certain financial transactions using a debit point of sale transaction network, as opposed to routing over a credit network. The method and arrangement uses an onsite database of bank identification numbers to conduct a preliminary assessment of whether a particular card is debit capable, and appropriately processes the transaction information based on the preliminary assessment. The system preferably is also updated when a financial transaction is successfully completed as a debit transaction which the database did not initially identify as being debit capable. In this way, the database is continuously updated and over time, a more accurate database is achieved. The system can also be networked, such that information between databases is shard and improved, based on the network experience.

In one embodiment of the present invention as used for impregnating a composite tape (56) with HTC particles provides for permeating a fabric layer (51) of the composite tape with HTC particles and impregnating an impregnating resin into the composite tape through the fabric layer (51). At least 5% of the HTC particles permeated into the fabric layer are carried out of the fabric layer and into a mica layer (52) bound to the fabric layer by the impregnating resin. In some embodiments the impregnating resin itself contains HTC particles.

Method and system aspects for mapping tasks to iteratively improve task assignment in a heterogeneous computing (HC) system include identifying a current machine that defines a makespan in the HC system. Further included is the reassigning of at least one task from the current machine to at least one alternate machine in the HC system according to a predefined reassignment constraint. Reassigning also includes reassigning the at least one task when the at least one alternate machine can perform the at least one task in addition to previously assigned work while finishing in less time than the time of the makespan reduced by time required for the task being reassigned.

This invention uses “targeted apheresis” to treat rheumatoid arthritis patients. “Targeted Apheresis” is a process whereby the RF and immune complexes responsible for causing the disease symptoms are selectively removed from the blood by passing the blood through a cartridge containing immobilized IgG. The RF and immune complexes are bound out and the cleaned blood is returned to the patient Removal of circulating RF and immune complexes will ameliorate the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

This invention describes a method of utilizing soluble receptors such as tumor necrosis factor receptor or interleukin receptor to carry pharmaceutical compounds to areas of inflammation. Patients with inflammatory disease such as arthritis, or cardiomyopathy or other inflammatory conditions may benefit from this treatment.
摘要:
In a process and apparatus for utilisation of an ammonia-containing waste gas stream from a semiconductor processing step, ammonia contained in the waste gas stream is decomposed, for example, in a reactor (3), into hydrogen and nitrogen, the gas stream so obtained is passed through a hydrogen separator (5) in order to separate hydrogen gas therefrom, the separated hydrogen gas is purified in a purifier (8), and the purified hydrogen gas is recycled for use in semiconductor processing. The process and apparatus allow efficient usage of semiconductor processing waste gases by permitting recycling of a component thereof.
摘要:
Techniques for detecting defects on semiconductor wafers are described. The techniques involve a parallel processing system wherein a data distribution system contains data distribution nodes that are interconnected by multiple data transfer paths. This configuration allows data collected by any of the detectors to be routed to any one of a plurality of processing nodes. This in turn allows a variety of defect analysis algorithms to be implemented.

A mobile telephone (105) with a camera feature (110) that functions as a motion detection device. The mobile telephone can include an image capture software routine (120) and a motion detection software routine (125). The image capture software routine can use the camera feature to automatically generate one or more time spaced images. The motion detection software routine can detect motion based upon differences between the time spaced images. The motion detection software routine can selectively utilize a multiple algorithms.
