摘要:
The invention is directed to efficient methods for depositing highly adherent anti-microbial materials onto a wide range of surfaces. A controlled cathodic arc process is described, which results in enhanced adhesion of silver oxide to polymers and other surfaces, such as surfaces of medical devices. Deposition of anti-microbial materials directly onto the substrates is possible in a cost-effective manner that maintains high anti-microbial activity over several weeks when the coated devices are employed in vivo.

The present invention relates to a hand-held abrasive article. In one embodiment, the hand-held abrasive article includes an elongated resilient body having a perpendicular cross-sectional surface. The cross-sectional surface of the resilient body includes at least one internal right angle, at least one internal acute angle, at least one internal obtuse angle, and at least one curved portion. At least a portion of the resilient body is coated with abrasive.
摘要:
A device adapted to be fastened to a wire, a cable, a cord, or a similar flexible elongated element. The device comprises a base member or plate on which a preferably cylindrical element engaging member is mounted so as to be rotatable in one direction, and means, such as a ratchet mechanism, are provided for preventing rotational return movement of said engaging member. A transversely extending channel or slot in which part of said elongated element may be inserted, is defined in one end surface of the element engaging member, and when rotated in said one direction the wire or elongated element is wound around the cylindrical engaging member.

An authentication system is disclosed. The system comprises means for receiving an authentication request associated with the transaction wherein the request comprises data identifying a communication device associated with a user authorised to perform the transaction; means for sending a Mobile Application Part, MAP, protocol request message in response to the authentication request; means for receiving, in response to the MAP protocol request, data indicative of whether a communication sent to the communication device will be forwarded to a different communication device. The received data indicative of whether a communication sent to the communication device will be forwarded to a different communication device is used in determining whether to authenticate the transaction.
摘要:
A method, system and apparatus for authenticating the validity of a transaction. The method includes the steps of receiving data identifying a means for carrying out the financial transaction; receiving data identifying a mobile network segment for routing communications via a mobile communication device associated with a user requesting the transaction; comparing the mobile network segment data and the data identifying the means for carrying out the transaction with a database of correlated data identifying one or more means for carrying out a transaction associated with further data identifying one or more mobile network segments; and authenticating the transaction in dependence on the result of the comparison.
摘要:
A device for electrokinetic delivery of medicament to a treatment site includes a cartridge having an active electrode and a membrane overlying the active electrode and a medicament or a medicament and an electrically conductive carrier therefor, carried by the membrane in electrical contact with the electrode. The electrode opens through a surface of the cartridge remote from the membrane for connection with an electrical connector carried by the device. An locking element releasably couples the cartridge to the housing.

A hand-held, manually-operated, sanding tool for use with a replaceable sheet-like abrasive material, such as sandpaper, includes a base member, a molded interface pad provided on the base member to define a working face against which the sheet-like abrasive material is arranged, and a retaining mechanism arranged to maintain the sheet-like abrasive material in operative relation with the interface pad. The base member is formed of a first material and the molded interface pad is formed of a second injection moldable material
摘要:
A resilient hand-held abrasive article suitable, for example, for woodworking, includes a plurality of separated raised abrasive surfaces to allow the article to more effectively conform to a contoured surface. A method of making such an abrasive article is also disclosed.

In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a circuit and method for reducing soft error events in latches. The input of a first inverter is connected to the output of a second inverter. The input of a second inverter is connected to the output of the first inverter. When the input to the first inverter is disturbed by a soft error event, a signal tristates the first inverter.

In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a circuit and method for a high reliability triple redundant latch with integrated testability. Three settable memory elements set an identical logical value into each settable memory element. After the settable memory elements are set, three voting structures with inputs from the first, second, and third settable memory elements, determine the logical value held on each of the settable memory elements. Data may be scanned into and out of the second settable memory element. Data is propagated through the buffer into the third settable memory element. The third settable memory element may be used to scan data out of the triple redundant latch. The propagation delay through a latch is the only propagation delay of the triple redundant latch.
