摘要:
This invention provides water-based compositions, particularly coating, ink, adhesive, fountain solution and agricultural compositions, manifesting reduced equilibrium and dynamic surface tension by the incorporation of a surface tension reducing amount of a mixture of a non-fluorinated anionic compound and a non-fluorinated weak base cationic compound, the mixture demonstrating a dynamic surface tension (DST) which is less than the DST of the individual anionic and cationic compounds and less than 45 dynes/cm, at a concentration of ≦5 wt % in water at 23° C. and 20 bubbles/second or less than 40 dynes/cm at a concentration of ≦0.03M in water at 23° C. and 0.1 bubbles/second according to the maximum-bubble pressure method. Foaming of the water-based compositions can also be reduced or eliminated.

Disclosed are silica-coated nanoparticles and a process for producing silica-coated nanoparticles. Silica-coated nanoparticles are prepared by precipitating nano-sized cores from reagents dissolved in the aqueous compartment of a water-in-oil microemulsion. A reactive silicate is added to coat the cores with silica. Also disclosed are methods for functionalizing silica-coated nanoparticles for use in a variety of applications.

Voice Quality Enhancement (VQE) is performed directly in a coded domain. A Coded Domain Voice Quality Enhancement (CD-VQE) system modifies at least one parameter of a first encoded signal, resulting in corresponding modified parameter(s). The CD-VQE system replaces the parameter(s) of the first encoded signal with the modified parameter(s), resulting in a second encoded signal. In a decoded state, the second encoded signal approximates a target signal that is a function of at least the first encoded signal in at least a partially decoded state. Thus, the first encoded signal does not have to go through intermediate decode/re-encode processes, which can degrade overall speech quality. The CD-VQE system may cascade functions. Computational resources required for a complete re-encoding are not needed. Overall delay of the system is minimized. The CD-VQE system can be used in networks in which signals are communicated in a coded domain, such as a Third Generation (3G) wireless network.

Embodiments of the invention disclose a method, apparatus and system of translating a source binary code into a target binary code. The translation according to embodiments of the invention may include determining whether or not a previously translated code block that relates to a source fragment to be currently translated may be reused for execution by a target processor. A reusability status of the previously translated code block may be determined based on a reusability status of a group of previously translated code blocks. In some embodiments, when no previously translated code blocks relating to the currently translated source fragment are found, the source fragment may be translated into a new target code block, which may be executed by the target processor. The new target code block may then be added to a group of previously translated code blocks.

A method and apparatus for providing call admission control in a packet network such as an internet protocol (IP) network are provided. More particularly, a terminating endpoint of a logical connection on a packet network, e.g. an IP network, is provided with the ability to make a decision on whether to accept or reject an incoming call based on quality of service (QoS) indicator based on QoS metrics. These metrics indicate quality of service levels for specific logical connections and are accumulated over specified time periods.

Provided is a method of treating a protein to be renatured, including: (1) mixing the protein to be renatured with a denaturing solution containing a denaturing reagent; (2) incubating a resulting mixture at such a low temperature that the denaturing agent is gradually precipitated from the denaturing solution, resulting in a decreasing concentration gradient of the denaturing agent and an increasing concentration of a renatured protein or its precursor in the denaturing solution with a decreasing volume; and (3) obtaining at least one of the renatured protein and its precursor.

Techniques for updating configuration of an Optical Network Unit (ONU) in an Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) include receiving a notification that an updated configuration file is available for the ONU, obtaining the updated configuration file, performing a first validation of the updated configuration file for structural errors, determining changes between a current configuration of the ONU and the updated configuration file to identify ONU resources to implement to the changes, performing a second validation about whether the ONU resources to implement the changes are available or not at the ONU and applying the changes to the ONU when it is determined that the ONU resources to implement the changes are available at the ONU.
