摘要:
A liquid chromatographic system is provided including catalytically combining hydrogen and oxygen gases in the chromatography eluent stream in a catalytic gas elimination chamber, to form water and thereby reduce the gas content in the eluent stream. Also, a liquid ion chromatographic system in which the effluent from the detector is recycled to a membrane suppressor and then is mixed with a source of eluent for recycle to the chromatographic column.
摘要:
The present invention relates to amphiphilic block copolymers comprising at least one block of hydrophilic units and at least one block of hydrophobic units, wherein at least one hydrophobic block contains siloxane units. The present invention may be particularly useful as a tissue adhesive or as a coating for an intraocular lens (IOL). As an IOL coating, copolymers according to the invention may be used, for example, to promote tissue adhesion for the prevention of posterior capsule opacification.
摘要:
A linear polysiloxane copolymer has at least one terminal hydroxyalkyl group. The copolymer is preparable by a process comprising a combination of a base-catalysed polymerisation with an acid-catalysed redistribution, and is suitable for preparing ophthalmic compositions for forming an intraocular lens in situ.
摘要:
An apparatus for capillary ion chromatography comprising a suppressor comprising flow-through ion exchange packing in a housing and capillary tubing formed of a permselective ion exchange membrane, and at least partially disposed in said ion exchange packing. Also, a recycle conduit for aqueous liquid from the detector to the packing. Further, the capillary tubing may have weakly acidic or weakly basic functional groups. Also, a method for using the apparatus.
摘要:
A method is provided for testing a magnetoresistive sensor for polarity reversal. In one embodiment, the method includes: writing a test pattern on a magnetic disk; providing a mechanical or thermal stress to the magnetoresistive sensor for a period of time; and, comparing the polarity of the test pattern before and after the application of stress.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for generating an acid or base, e.g. for chromatographic analysis of anions. For generating a base the method includes the steps of providing a cation source in a cation source reservoir, flowing an aqueous liquid stream through a base generation chamber separated from the cation source reservoir by a barrier (e.g. a charged membrane) substantially preventing liquid flow while providing a cation transport bridge, applying an electric potential between an anode cation source reservoir and a cathode in the base generation chamber to electrolytically generate hydroxide ions therein and to cause cations in the cation source reservoir to electromigrate and to be transported across the barrier toward the cathode to combine with the transported cations to form cation hydroxide, and removing the cation hydroxide in an aqueous liquid stream as an effluent from the first base generation chamber. Suitable cation sources include a salt solution, a cation hydroxide solution or cation exchange resin.
摘要:
A method and system to optimize ordering of firmware modules. Optimizing the dispatch order of firmware modules reduces the boot time of a computer system. A plurality of module-to-module interfaces are collected from a plurality of firmware modules, wherein a module-to-module interface allows a first firmware module of the plurality of firmware modules to invoke a second firmware module of the plurality of firmware modules. A plurality of dependency expressions corresponding to the plurality of firmware modules are collected, wherein each dependency expression of a firmware module describes the module-to-module interfaces needed for execution of the firmware module. The plurality of firmware modules are sorted into an optimized order based on the plurality of dependency expressions and the plurality of module-to-module interfaces. In one embodiment, the plurality of firmware modules operate in accordance with an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) specification.
摘要:
A packet scheduling method and apparatus including (a) classifying a stream that enters into a scheduler according to a data rate and/or length of a packet; (b) if the packet of the classified stream is a first packet, storing the packet in a first stream queue, and if the packet of the classified stream is a subsequent packet, storing the packet in a second stream queue; (c) counting a virtual start service time of the packet stored in the first stream queue according to a weighted fairness queuing method; and (d) counting a virtual start service time of the packet stored in the second stream queue as a virtual start service time of the previous packet.
摘要:
A power electronic based DR (distributed resource e.g., a UPS (uninterrupted power supply), Fuel Cell or Microturbine) is controlled to emulate a voltage source behind an impedance and behave as a power system stabilizer. The impedance in the DR is emulated and an estimate of impedance at the power/electronic interface is derived and applied to the control of the DR in a manner wherein the power and voltage swings on systems (loads) that otherwise would have difficulty with dynamic loads, are stabilized. Damping and synchronizing power are provided measuring only voltage, current and frequency at the interface between the DR and the load. The DR may include some energy storage.
