Abstract:
An approach is provided for migrating data. Data is received from a plurality of source systems. The received data is processed for conversion to a target system. A failure condition associated with the processing is detected. An action is selectively initiated from a point of failure corresponding to the detected failure condition. The action includes either retrying the processing, aborting the processing, initiating simulation of the process, forcing completion of the processing, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method or system for the detection of abnormalities in a biological sample comprising cells. Said method or system comprises at least the following steps, or is capable to carry out, and/or comprises means capable to carry out, at least the following steps, respectively: a) acquiring an image of said sample by digital image acquisition, b) optionally, carrying out digital image processing, c) selecting a field of view, d) determining, by digital image processing, whether or not, in said field of view, cell aggregates exist, and e1) selecting a new field of view and carrying on with step c) if, in step d), it turns out that, in said field of view, the determination of cell aggregates is negative, or e2) carrying out further process steps if in step d), it turns out that, in said field of view, the determination of cell aggregates is affirmative.
Abstract:
This application relates to a multi-functional Composite Right and Left Handed CRLH antenna device. A conductive element of a wireless device is incorporated into the antenna structure for reuse. In one embodiment a peripheral feature, such as a key dome, is incorporated into the antenna device. In this way, the antenna structure includes portions which are multi-functional.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and system for online script independent recognition of handwritten sub-word unit and words. More particularly the present invention relates to a system and method which enables online recognition of script independent sub-word unit and words by recognizing the written individual strokes prior to recognition of sub-word unit and words. The present invention provides an easy and natural to use method for handwritten sub-word unit and word recognition, wherein the application can be deployed on the existing communication means.
Abstract:
A probe including a housing, a rectal muscle air bag, a rectal tube, an anal muscle air bag, and an anal tube is provided. The rectal muscle air bag mounts to the housing a first distance from a non-insertion end. A rectal tube is connected to the rectal muscle air bag at a first end and to a first pressure sensor at a second end. The anal muscle air bag is mounted to the housing a second distance from the non-insertion end. The anal tube is connected to the anal muscle air bag at a first end and to a second pressure sensor at a second end. The first distance is selected to position the rectal muscle air bag adjacent a rectal muscle, and the second distance is selected to position the anal muscle air bag adjacent an anal muscle when the housing is inserted in the rectum.
Abstract:
Wellbore tools include a body and a superhydrophobic surface disposed over at least a portion of the body. The superhydrophobic surface includes a patterned surface of a hydrophobic material exhibiting a higher hydrophobicity than an unpatterned surface of the hydrophobic material. A wellbore tool may include a seal, at least one sensor, and at least one flow line, each having at least one superhydrophobic surface. Methods of forming wellbore tools include forming a body, forming a hydrophobic surface over at least a portion of the body, and forming a pattern in a surface of the body, such that the patterned surface exhibits a higher hydrophobicity than an unpatterned surface of the same material.
Abstract:
The present application provides novel pyrimido-pyridazinone compounds and methods for preparing and using these compounds. These compounds are useful in treating inflammation in patients by administering one or more of the compounds to a patient. In one embodiment, the novel pyrimido-pyridazinone compound is of Formula (I) and R1 and R2 are defined herein.
Abstract:
A method of forming a dual damascene metal interconnect for a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a layer of low-k dielectric, forming vias through the low-k dielectric layer, depositing a sacrificial layer, forming trenches through the sacrificial layer, filling the vias and trenches with metal, removing the sacrificial layer, then depositing an extremely low-k dielectric layer to fill between the trenches. The method allows the formation of an extremely low-k dielectric layer for the second level of the dual damascene structure while avoiding damage to that layer by such processes as trench etching and trench metal deposition. The method has the additional advantage of avoiding an etch stop layer between the via level dielectric and the trench level dielectric.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and computer program products are displaying one or more electronic messages on a user interface. In one method, the method records timestamps of one or more activities of a user in a first user session. Subsequently, the method compares the timestamp of an initialization of a second user session, with the recorded timestamp of the one or more events such as a last logout timestamp and/or a last activity timestamp of the first user session. Further, the method may mark one or more new electronic messages based on the comparison of the timestamps. The method may then display the status of the marked one or more new electronic messages on a user interface based on the markings applied on the one or more new electronics messages received.
