Abstract:
A method for accessing digital image files. The method is applied in a digital image capture device store at least one image file. At least one first image is chosen from the at least one image file. A file level code is set in the at least one first image, and the file level code indicates access authority of the at least one first image file. When the at least one first image is accessed, a second image file is chosen from the at least one first image file. The file level code of the second image file is read, and then the second image file is processed according to the file level code.
Abstract:
The invention herein relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing loratadine and derivatives thereof which is suitable for use in soft capsule dosage forms. A pharmaceutical composition according to the invention comprises loratadine and derivatives thereof in a pharmaceutically effective amount; and a solvent system comprising a mixture of medium chain fatty acids. The loratadine compositions exhibit good solubility and storage stability while maintaining bioavailability of the drug. The compositions also permit high concentrations of solubilized loratadine per total fill volume and thereby permit the use of smaller capsules to deliver the same dosage of drug.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide apparatuses for vapor depositing tungsten-containing materials, such as metallic tungsten and tungsten nitride. In one embodiment, a processing chamber is provided which includes a lid assembly containing a lid plate, a showerhead, a mixing cavity, a distribution cavity, and a resistive heating element contained within the lid plate. In one example, the resistive heating element is configured to provide the lid plate at a temperature within a range from about 120° C. to about 180° C., preferably, from about 140° C. to about 160° C., more preferably, from about 145° C. to about 155° C. The mixing cavity may be in fluid communication with a tungsten precursor source containing tungsten hexafluoride and a nitrogen precursor source containing ammonia. In some embodiments, a single processing chamber may be used to deposit metallic tungsten and tungsten nitride materials by CVD processes.

Methods for performing epitope mapping, and for characterizing the antibody binding affinity and epitope diversity of antibodies in a sample using peptide microarray are provided. In some aspects, methods are provided for the specific characterization of IgE and IgG4. Also disclosed are methods for diagnosing whether a milk-allergic individual will outgrow his or her allergy based on the characterization of the individual's milk allergen-specific IgE antibodies.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method therefor for reducing stacking faults caused by high content of Ge in an embedded SiGe structure. The semiconductor device comprises a Si substrate with a recess formed therein. A SiGe seed layer is formed on sidewalls of the recess, and a first SiGe layer having a Ge content gradually increased from bottom to top is formed on the recess bottom. A second SiGe layer having a constant content of Ge is formed on the first SiGe layer. The thickness of the first SiGe layer is less than the depth of the recess. The Ge content in the SiGe seed layer is less than the Ge content in the second SiGe layer, and the Ge content at the upper surface of the first SiGe layer is less than or equal to the Ge content in the second SiGe layer.
Abstract:
A method of distinguishing a control solution from a sample in an electrochemical test sensor is performed. The method includes adding a control marker to the control solution. The control solution includes the control marker and analyte. The test sensor includes working and counter electrodes, and a reagent. A potential is applied to the test sensor to oxidize the control marker and the analyte. The resulting electrical current is measured. A potential is applied to the test sensor lower than the other potential in which the potential is sufficient to oxidize the analyte and not the control marker. The resulting electrical current is measured. Determining whether a control solution or a sample is present based on the measured electrical currents. To increase the measured current, a salt may be added to the control solution in an amount sufficient to increase the electrical current by at least 5% as compared to a control solution in the absence of a salt.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide an improved process for depositing tungsten-containing materials. The process utilizes soak processes and vapor deposition processes to provide tungsten films having significantly improved surface uniformity while increasing the production level throughput. In one embodiment, a method is provided which includes depositing a tungsten silicide layer on the substrate by exposing the substrate to a continuous flow of a silicon precursor while also exposing the substrate to intermittent pulses of a tungsten precursor. The method further provides that the substrate is exposed to the silicon and tungsten precursors which have a silicon/tungsten precursor flow rate ratio of greater than 1, for example, about 2, about 3, or greater. Subsequently, the method provides depositing a tungsten nitride layer on the tungsten suicide layer, depositing a tungsten nucleation layer on the tungsten nitride layer, and depositing a tungsten bulk layer on the tungsten nucleation layer.
Abstract:
A testing system for testing an analyte in a fluid sample includes a user interface including a display for displaying information relating to measurements of health data and an input device for receiving information from a user relating to the health data. The testing system further includes an automarking feature adapted to identify a testing result of a control solution, the testing of the control solution being distinguishable from the testing of the fluid sample. The testing result of the control solution is not included in the information relating to the measurements of health data that is displayed to a user via the user interface.
