Abstract:
The present invention provides a system for evaluating motor control function in the brain. This system is for evaluating the motor control function in the brain of a subject from the electromyogram (EMG) data of joint prime movers and the data on the position, velocity and acceleration of the joint, wherein both of the data have been obtained by measuring a target-tracking movement performed by the subject with a motion measurement unit that tracks a moving target, the system comprising the following means (a) to (c): (a) means for separating the frequencies of the EMG data and the frequencies of the data on the position, velocity and acceleration into a plurality of frequency components; (b) means for determining the ratio of viscosity coefficient to elastic coefficient (B/K ratio) for each of the frequency components by applying the EMG data and the data on the position, velocity and acceleration to a specific movement equation; and (c) means for evaluating the causal relationship between the motor control function in the brain and the target-tacking movement using the B/K ratio as an index.
Abstract:
Method and devices for filtering liquid are provided that rely on pressure difference to filter liquid. In one embodiment, a device for filtering liquid includes a feed chamber, a permeate chamber, and a porous membrane that is at least partially hydrophobic and has one or more pores configured to be permeable to vapor. A pressure of a liquid substance in the feed chamber is increased such that vapor of the liquid substance is transported from the feed chamber to the permeate chamber. The resistance of flow in a hydrophilic layer of the membrane can be controlled to make the membrane defect-tolerant. In another embodiment, a second porous membrane is further included and the second porous membrane is spaced apart from the first porous membrane. Various methods for filtering liquid are also provided.

Abstract:
A first mold has a core passage, and first and second cavities in fluid communication with each other at the core passage. A second mold has first and second nozzles therein that inject first and second resins to the first and second cavities, respectively. The core member is slidable within the core passage to provide or block the fluid communication between the cavities, and has a third nozzle therein to inject a third resin to the core passage. The first and second resins are injected into the cavities. The core member is moved to block the fluid communication between the cavities, before injecting the first and second resins is completed. The third resin is injected while moving the core member to provide the fluid communication, after injecting the first and second resins is completed. The molds are separated, thereby yielding a single molded product, such as a vehicle door trim.
Abstract:
A multi-layer dielectric layer structure for a semiconductor device. The multi-layer dielectric layer structure comprises a silicate interface layer having a dielectric constant greater than that of silicon nitride and a high-k dielectric layer overlying the silicate interface layer. The high-k dielectric layer comprises one or more ordered pairs of first and second layers. With the present invention, the dielectric constant of the high-k dielectric layer can be optimized while improving interface characteristics. With a higher crystallization temperature realized by forming the multi-layer structure, each of whose layers is not more than the critical thickness, leakage current can be reduced, thereby improving device performance.
