摘要:
A substantially copper-free friction material for a brake pad includes a binder forming approximately 8-18% by volume, a fiber forming 5-14% by volume, at least one lubricant forming up to 6% by volume, at least one abrasive forming 10-27% by volume, at least one carbon content component forming 36-51% by volume, and at least one filler forming 6-21% by volume. The friction material can be applied to the backing plate of a brake pad.

A method for doubling the frequency of a lithographic process using a photo-resist template mask is described. A device layer having a photo-resist layer formed thereon is first provided. The photo-resist layer is patterned to form a photo-resist template mask. A spacer-forming material layer is deposited over the photo-resist template mask. The spacer-forming material layer is etched to form a spacer mask and to expose the photo-resist template mask. The photo-resist template mask is then removed and an image of the spacer mask is finally transferred to the device layer.

Disclosed are systems for underwriting insurance contracts. In one embodiment a system comprises a rules database of business rules specifying one or more conditions based upon one or more underwriting parameters; a user database comprising entries corresponding to registered users; and a processor configured to: provide to the user a form having a plurality of data fields generated based upon the underwriting parameters specified in the business rules; receive a plurality of inputted underwriting parameters corresponding to the data fields; determine whether the inputted underwriting parameters satisfy the business rules; and if at least one of the inputted underwriting parameters does not satisfy the business rules, provide a status message indicating that at least one business rule is not satisfied. The status message can be provided in an interface that includes a graphical element linking a part of the status message with a portion of the displayed form.

The present invention is related to methods, processes, and systems that enable web users to quickly create, customize, and publish rich media contents via Internet. Web addresses and attributes with regard to the published rich media contents are also generated. The published rich media contents, web addresses and attributes are stored locally in a centralized place, but they can be called by any geographically distributed third-party websites or remote web users, and then be presented on the third-party websites or the terminal devices of the remote web users. Furthermore, the present invention also enables web users to quickly create and customize personal online stores at a centralized place, and then list the published rich media contents in their personal online stores. These listed rich media contents can also be referenced and called by any geographically distributed third-party websites or remote web users, and then be presented on the third-party websites or the terminal devices of the remote web users.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for direct analysis of continuous-flow liquid samples by desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) including a sample stage that is adapted to receive a liquid sample and a nebulizing ionizer that is configured to generate a charged, nebulized solvent and thereby desorb at least a portion of the liquid sample from the sample stage.

An apparatus for direct analysis of the redox products, or intermediates, of an electrochemical reaction by coupling an electrochemical cell to desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for detecting micro-calcifications in mammograms using novel algorithms and stochastic resonance noise is provided, where a suitable dose of noise is added to the abnormal mammograms such that the performance of a suboptimal lesion detector is improved without altering the detector's parameters. A stochastic resonance noise-based detection approach is presented to improve suboptimal detectors which suffer from model mismatch due to the Gaussian assumption. Furthermore, a stochastic resonance noise-based detection enhancement framework is presented to deal with more general model mismatch cases.

Disclosed are methods of underwriting insurance contracts. In one embodiment a method comprises receiving from a registered user a request for approval of the insurance contract, the request for approval of the insurance contract including underwriting parameters of the insurance contract; reading, from a user database underwriting criteria corresponding to the user; determining whether the underwriting parameters of the insurance contract satisfy the underwriting criteria of the user; and providing an interface including a status message indicating that at least one underwriting criterion is not satisfied, if at least one underwriting criterion is not satisfied. The interface can include a graphical element linking a part of the status message with a displayed parameter of the contract. In another embodiment the method further comprises determining whether the underwriting parameters of the insurance contract satisfy underwriting criteria corresponding to a managing user with a greater scope of authority than the registered user.
摘要:
An elastographic imaging system providing for axial, lateral and elevational strain measurements employs a series of one-dimensional axial measurements to deduce a coarse axial, lateral and/or elevational displacement that is used to guide one or more two or three-dimensional cross-correlations of smaller kernels providing improved image resolution.
