Abstract:
Described is a Schottky diode using semi-conducting single-walled nanotubes (s-SWNTs) with titanium Schottky and platinum Ohmic contacts for high-frequency applications. The diodes are fabricated using angled evaporation of dissimilar metal contacts over an s-SWNT. The devices demonstrate rectifying behavior with large reverse-bias breakdown voltages of greater than −15 V. In order to decrease the series resistance, multiple SWNTs are grown in parallel in a single device, and the metallic tubes are burnt-out selectively. At low biases, these diodes showed ideality factors in the range of 1.5 to 1.9. Modeling of these diodes as direct detectors at room temperature at 2.5 terahertz (THz) frequency indicates noise equivalent powers (NEP) comparable to that of the state-of-the-art gallium arsenide sold-state Schottky diodes, in the range of 10-13 W/square-root (√) Hz.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for coloring a black and white film. The film is converted to video tape and the locations of edges of moving objects in frames of the video signal are used to develop a motion indicator key. The motion indicator key is used to reduce noise in the video signal without smearing motion and is used to assign colors to the black and white signal. For each scene of the black and white film, a color mask is produced for one frame. The adjacent frame is then colored the same as the initial frame except where motion is indicated. Where motion is indicated, a selected process assigns colors, for example based on direction of movement or grey levels of adjacent pixels. The new color mask thus produced is used as a reference for coloring the next frame. In this way the whole film may be colored, scene by scene. The color mask produced may then be combined with the black and white video signal to produce a colored video signal.

Abstract:
A method and system provide for the control of resource allocation within a build-to-order manufacturing environment. One example embodiment of a method according to the present disclosure includes an operation for monitoring a work-in-process (WIP) profile that represents dynamic attributes of an area in a manufacturing facility. A user interface in a control center for the manufacturing facility may be automatically updated to depict one or more of the dynamic attributes in substantially real time, based on one or more of the WIP profiles. After the user interface is updated, user input that specifies a desired reallocation of resources for the manufacturing facility may be received. The user input may trigger communications with one or more areas in the manufacturing facility to implement the desired reallocation of resources. Alternative embodiments may include additional or alternative features, such as features for error detection and recovery.

The invention relates to transdermal delivery patches comprising a drug-containing drug reservoir wherein the drug reservoir comprises a plasticizer composition selected to adjust the rate of drug flux out of the transdermal delivery patch device. The invention also specifically relates to methods of producing the transdermal delivery patches of the invention, the methods comprising the use of an alcohol drug dispersing agent. The invention further specifically relates to methods of treating acute and chronic pain and methods of inducing and maintaining analgesia with the transdermal delivery patches of the invention.
Abstract:
Multiple streams of data are streamed to a user's terminal with images from different cameras. Low resolution thumbnail images tell the user what image streams are available. A focus stream provides high resolution images from a selected camera. A user can switch the focus stream to another stream by clicking on the associated thumbnail. The users can also be provided with a thumbnail of panoramic image. Other data streams sent to the user can contain (a) audio data, (b) interactivity markup data which describes regions of the image which provide interactivity opportunities such as hotspots, (c) presentation markup data which defines how data is presented on the user's screen, (d) a telemetry data stream which can be used for various statistical data. One data stream contains a low quality base image for each data stream which can be enhanced to form a high resolution focus image.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a relatively soft, largely planar, though three-dimensional product, obtainable by means of an embossing tool for converting a relatively soft, planar starting product as a result of embossing to the extent that an embossing pattern exists which comprises a plurality of “hinged parallelograms” that are limited by lines of compressed material such that when tractive forces are applied, this hinged parallelogram structure behaves like a pantograph and a secondary bulk is superimposed as a result of a stretching process on the primary bulk produced by the embossing.
