Methods for disinfecting and removing smear layer from prepared tooth surfaces are provided. The methods involve irrigating the tooth surface with a disinfectant solution containing doxycycline or tetracycline, a surfactant such as polysorbate, and organic acid such as citric acid. The methods can be used in various dental treatments including, for example, endodontic and periodontic procedures as well as tooth restoration and reconstruction.

A composite metal object comprises ductile crystalline metal particles in an amorphous metal matrix. An alloy is heated above its liquidus temperature. Upon cooling from the high temperature melt, the alloy chemically partitions, forming dendrites in the melt. Upon cooling the remaining liquid below the glass transition temperature it freezes to the amorphous state, producing a two-phase microstructure containing crystalline particles in an amorphous metal matrix. The ductile metal particles have a size in the range of from 0.1 to 15 micrometers and spacing in the range of from 0.1 to 20 micrometers. Preferably, the particle size is in the range of from 0.5 to 8 micrometers and spacing is in the range of from 1 to 10 micrometers. The volume proportion of particles is in the range of from 5 to 50% and preferably 15 to 35%. Differential cooling can produce oriented dendrites of ductile metal phase in an amorphous matrix. Examples are given in the Zr—Ti—Cu—Ni—Be alloy bulk glass forming system with added niobium.

The invention is a method of reducing catalyst dissolution in the cathode of a membrane electrode assembly fuel cell, said method comprising the steps of: (a) preparing a membrane electrode assembly comprising an anode, a cathode and a polymer electrolyte membrane interposed between said anode and said cathode; (b) assembling a fuel cell using said membrane electrode assembly; (c) applying a fluid comprising an oxidant to said cathode of said membrane electrode assembly; (d) applying a fluid comprising a fuel to said anode of said membrane electrode assembly; and (e) supplying a sufficient quantity of reducing agent to said cathode to maintain the average open-circuit voltage of said cathode at less than about 0.98 V.
摘要:
A data processor (200) includes a processor core (300), an interface (210) coupled to the processor core (210), and a coprocessor (500). The coprocessor (500) is coupled to the processor core (300) via the interface (210) and includes a first list memory (522). In response to a predetermined instruction the processor core (300) provides an operand to the coprocessor (500) via the interface (210). The coprocessor (500) stores the operand in the first list memory (522) and performs an operation corresponding to the predetermined instruction using a plurality of values from the first line memory (522) to provide a result.
摘要:
An applicator/dispenser for dispensing, mixing and/or applying a polymerizable monomeric adhesive or sealant material comprises: a body portion; an actuator movable relative to the body portion; a cavity in the body portion; and a piercing or breaking portion on the actuator. Movement of the actuator relative to the body portion moves the piercing or breaking portion into the cavity. When a container of adhesive or sealant material is at least partially disposed within the cavity, movement of the actuator relative to the body portion moves the piercing or breaking portion to rupture the container for mixing, dispensing and/or applying the adhesive or sealant material.
摘要:
One embodiment disclosed relates to a network device that includes at least one port to connect to a network and at least one throttle that limits a rate of connections made from the device. An auto-adaptive thresholding mechanism determines a threshold for the throttle. The mechanism may be tunable to various aggressiveness levels. Another embodiment disclosed relates to a network apparatus including multiple ports capable of making connections and multiple throttle instantiations. Each throttle instantiation is associated with a port or group of ports. Threshold levels for each throttle instantiation are independently set. The ports may be physical ports or may be logical ports.
摘要:
A magneto-resistive memory that has a shared word line and sense line is disclosed. By providing the shared word line and sense line, the number of relatively large drivers required to drive the word line and sense line currents can be reduced. This reduces the peripheral overhead of the memory, and may increase the overall density and reduce the overall power of the memory.
