A method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture provide the ability to track image processing data in a collaborative environment in a database. Non-creative information is received that relates to image processing. The non-creative information is generated by a computer pursuant to a rendering operation performed by the computer. The non-creative information is stored in a database that is accessible across a network to multiple users. Once stored, the non-creative information may be evaluated (e.g., to provide a profitability or cost/benefit analysis).
摘要:
An electronic device includes a semiconductor substrate and a dielectric layer over the substrate. A resistive link located over the substrate includes a first resistive region and a second resistive region. The first resistive region has a first resistivity and a first morphology. The second resistive region has a second resistivity and a different second morphology.
摘要:
Spherically-shaped pharmaceutical pellets are produced using a novel spheronization apparatus in a continuous melt spheronization process in which an active pharmaceutical agent is blended with various excipients, fed to an extruder, cut and subsequently fed to the novel spheronizer for continuously producing uniform, spherically-shaped pellets. The pellets may be further coated so as to provide immediate or various modified release characteristics.

The present invention is directed to a materials extrusion device including a screw extruder with a plunger feeder. It includes a screw extruder having a main housing, a materials advancing screw, a screw drive mechanism, a feed port for inputting materials to be extruded and an extrusion outlet port. It also includes a plunger feeder having an elongated, upwardly biased (non-horizontal) plunger housing, e.g., a cylinder, with a plunger. A plunger drive mechanism is connected to the plunger to move the plunger upwardly and downwardly within the plunger housing, and there is a feed outlet at an upper end of the plunger housing, the feed outlet being connected to the screw extruder feed port.

The present invention relates to the field of hydratable polymer materials and hydrogels. In particular, the present invention describes polyurethane polymer networks for releasably retaining water, and methods for preparing the same.
摘要:
A method for detecting compounds of interest in bodily fluids, including exhaled breath and blood. The present invention uses biosensors that mimic naturally occurring cellular mechanisms, including RNA oligonucleotide chains or “aptamers,” in combination with signaling agents or nanotechnology to provide an effective and efficient method for diagnosing a condition and/or disease within a patient. The subject invention also provides a method for screening those analytes/biomarkers likely to be present in exhaled breath.
摘要:
A system is provided that has the ability to perform simultaneous parallel read and write operations with a plurality of transducing heads that transduce data with a storage medium. The system includes a preamplifier circuit and a read channel. The read channel includes a serializer circuit coupled to the preamplifier circuit to receive parallel data-signals and convert those signals into a serial data signal that is provided to a read channel core/controller. The read channel also includes a deserializer circuit coupled to the preamplifier circuit that converts serial write control signals from the read channel core/controller into parallel write control signals that are transmitted to the preamplifier circuit for controlling write operations.
摘要:
A self-contained vacuum circular saw is presented. The vacuum saw has a casing around the saw blade that includes an accordion type lower section attached to the lower platform of the saw. A number of vacuum tubes, preferably four, are attached to the side of the circular saw opposite the blade. The armature of the circular saw that turns the blade also turns the vacuum impeller on the side opposite the blade. An impeller vacuum chamber pulls in the dust and debris created by the saw blade and discharges the dust and debris into a disposable and removable vacuum bag. An important aspect of this device is that the motor that turns the saw blade also turns the impeller, thus making the self-contained vacuum Saw moveable from site to site.
摘要:
The reaction product of a monomer comprising phthalazinone and a phenol group, and at least one sulfonated aromatic compound. The monomer comprising phthalazinone and a phenol group is used in a reaction with the sulfonated aromatic compound to produce ionomers with surprising and highly desirable properties. In one embodiment, the inventive ionomer is a sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether ketone), hereinafter referred to as sPPEK. In another embodiment, the inventive ionomer is a sulfonated poly(phthalazinone either sulfone), herein after referred to as SPPES. In another embodiment, the inventive ionomer is other sulfonated aromatic polymeric compounds. The invention further includes the formation of these polymers into membranes and their use for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), and in particular for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). The inventive polymers may be manufactured in membrane form, and can be dissolved into solution and impregnated into porous substrates to form composite polymer electrolyte membranes with improved properties.
