摘要:
A print assembly is described, wherein the print assembly includes a dye-donor element having a dye-donor layer, wherein the dye-donor element includes a donor stick preventative agent; and a receiver having a dye image-receiving layer, wherein the receiver includes a receiver stick preventative agent of the formula: wherein R1 is an alkyl chain of C9H19 or greater; R2 is an alkyl chain of C3H6 or greater; A is NH—R3, NHNH2, NHCO—R3, NH—R4—NH2, or NHCO—R4—NH2; R3 is an alkyl chain of C2H5 or greater; R4 is an alkyl chain of C2H4 or greater; m is from about 0 to 95 weight percent; n is from about 0 to about 70 weight percent; p is from 0 to about 40 weight percent; and q is from 0 to 95 weight percent, with the proviso that when m is 0, then n is 0, and R3 is an alkyl chain of C8H17 or greater, otherwise when m is greater than 0, n is from 0.1 to 70 weight percent, based on the total weight of the receiver stick preventative agent, and wherein the dye-donor element and receiver are in superposed position such that the dye-donor layer is adjacent the dye image-receiving layer. The use of stick preventative agents in both the dye-donor element and the receiver element can enable high speed printing without donor-receiver sticking.

A bone cement mixing apparatus comprises a cylindrical syringe body which functions as a mixing chamber, a mixing element rotatably mounted in the mixing chamber and a drive for causing rotation of the mixing element. The drive includes a handle which is axially movable relative to the mixing chamber and a gear mechanism which couples the handle of the mixing element and translates linear handle motion into rotary mixing element motion. The drive is supported by a chamber lid which engages the syringe body and the lid and drive may be detachable from the syringe body and from the mixing element thereby allowing the lid assembly and drive to be reused.

The present invention provides a method for increasing traffic on an electronic site, e.g., Web site. In particular, the method increases a quantity of users to an electronic on-line messaging site from off-line traffic. The method includes capturing user information from a public media transmitting device, which is coupled to a wide area network of computers. The method also outputs an address location to a user of the communication function through the public media transmitting device. The method also accesses the address location through one of the plurality of a computers. Accordingly, the present method increases on-line traffic using off-line traffic.
摘要:
A system for increasing traffic to an electronic messaging site, e.g., Web Site. The system has a plurality of computer devices, each of the computer devices is networked to each other over a network system. The system has a public media transmitting device, which includes an image capturing device. The image capturing device is adapted to capture an image of at least one user. The image capturing device is coupled to the network system; and an output device coupled to the public media transmitting device. The output device provides a hard copy of an image of the user and text information directed to a messaging site. The information can include, for example, an e-mail address, URL, etc.

An anti-lock braking system of the dump to expansion chamber and pump to re-apply type incorporates first and second upstream and downstream valves which are interconneted and are located in a line in series. A first one-way valve is located between the pump and the brake on the downstream side of the second valve, and a second one-way valve is located in parallel with the first one-way valve in a line between the pump and the second valve. Each valve is operable independently of, or simultaneously with, the other valve in accordance with the sensed behavior of the braked wheel to achieve four modes of normal brake application, dump, automatic brake re-application, and "hold".

A system for secure, web-based, proctored examinations is provided. A web-based platform allows for test delivery beyond a local testing center with the test delivered directly to the test-taker. Computing devices that have been secured for the taking of an examination allow a student or prospective professional to access an examination wherever there is an Internet connection. As a result, students and professionals can take examinations where they live, learn, and work thereby reducing the costs associated with travelling to testing centers and minimizing time away from work. Test-takers, proctors, instructors, administrators, authors, and test developers can all access data and test information anytime and anywhere. Secure examinations can be taken under the purview of a proctor either in person or via the Internet and utilizing any number of testing environment capture devices in conjunction with data forensic technologies.
摘要:
The presently disclosed invention provides for the security of a computing device in the context of a test taking environment. By securing a computing device, an individual (or group of individuals) may more effectively proctor a large examination without worrying about a test taker illicitly accessing information on their computer or via a remote source of data. Securing a computing device includes locking out or preventing access to any application not deemed necessary or appropriate by the test administrator.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting, and/or producing drought tolerant maize plants or germplasm. Maize plants or germplasm that have been identified, selected, and/or produced by any of the methods of the presently disclosed subject matter are also provided.
摘要:
Technology is described for enabling passive enforcement of security at computing systems. A component of a computing system can passively authenticate or authorize a user based on observations of the user's interactions with the computing system. The technology may increase or decrease an authentication or authorization level based on the observations. The level can indicate what level of access the user should be granted. When the user or a component of the computing device initiates a request, an application or service can determine whether the level is sufficient to satisfy the request. If the level is insufficient, the application or service can prompt the user for credentials so that the user is actively authenticated. The technology may enable computing systems to “trust” authentication so that two proximate devices can share authentication levels.
