Abstract:
A method for use in a system for diagnosing the causes of manufacturing defects involves process characterization. A set of forms is identified for a workpiece and for a piece of manufacturing equipment that acts upon the workpiece. The forms for the workpiece are preferably a hierarchic set of geometric forms. Each such geometric form corresponds to an aspect of the action of the manufacturing equipment upon the workpiece. A plurality of measurements is made on a defective workpiece following the hierarchical order of forms. The measurements are compared to a reference datum, and a deviation from the datum is computed. If the deviation exceeds a preselected threshold, an alert condition results, attributable to the action of the manufacturing equipment. Targeted adjustment corresponding to the action that caused the defect can then be made to the equipment.
Abstract:
A device that includes a proteinaceous factor is disclosed. The proteinaceous factor is encoded by the nucleotide sequence of any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1, a degenerate variant of SEQ ID NO.: 1, and a complement of SEQ ID NO.: 1. The proteinaceous factor may be a recombinant. In addition, the device may include any one of (i) Immunoglobulin G (IgG) bound non-specially to the proteinaceous factor, (ii) at least one diagnostic label bound to the proteinaceous factor, (iii) Immunoglobulin G bound non-specially to the proteinaceous factor and at least one diagnostic label bound to the proteinaceous factor, and (iv) at least one base supporting the proteinaceous factor.
Abstract:
An exemplary thrust collar for a turbocharger includes a substantially annular body that includes an axis of rotation, a bore, opposing end surfaces where one of the end surfaces is substantially normal to the axis of rotation and capable of seating a back end of compressor wheel, and a surface disposed in the bore where the surface is substantially normal to the axis of rotation and capable of seating a surface of a turbocharger shaft. The axial distance between the end surface for seating a back end of a compressor wheel and the surface disposed in the bore for seating a surface of a turbocharger shaft is selected to improve balancing of a rotating assembly. Various other exemplary devices, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
Abstract:
To construct a path through a packet network from a source host address to a destination host address via at least one lower capacity link controlled by at least one admission control device, a list of other host addresses controlled by the admission control device is returned to permit reuse of part of the path with reduced signaling.
Abstract:
‘Shiloh Splash’ is a distinctive variety of Betula nigra, which is characterized by its combination of distinct variegated foliage and slow growth rate as compared with other cultivars of Betula nigra.
Abstract:
The determination of analyte concentration in physiological samples is of ever increasing importance to today's society. Such assays find use in a variety of applications, including clinical laboratory testing, home testing, etc., where the results of such testing play a prominent role in the diagnosis and management of a variety of disease conditions. An apparatus is described herein which may be used for the manufacture of medical devices which include an integrated lancet and sensor.
Abstract:
A cap for a dermal tissue lancing device (that has, for example, a housing and a lancet that is movable with respect to the housing) includes a cap body with an opening therethrough for the lancet to pass through, a proximal end and a distal end. The cap also includes an attachment mechanism for tiltably attaching the cap body to the dermal tissue lancing device. The attachment mechanism enables the cap body to be free to tilt relative to the dermal tissue lancing device when the distal end of the cap body is urged against a dermal tissue target site.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a vehicle cover having a main cover portion with a plurality of peripheral edges, a fastening band attached along the plurality of peripheral edges which runs across the windshield, a pair of fastening band extensions extending under the side mirrors of the vehicle, and the fastening band extending down the length of the cover's side to secure the front end of the cover to the vehicle, and an anchoring means attached to the rear of the vehicle cover for securing the rear end of the cover to the trunk lid or a license plate frame.
Abstract:
A scanning mechanism for an optical probe having an optical head and an optical transmitter for transmitting light from a light source to the optical head, the scanning mechanism comprising a resilient member coupled to the optical transmitter, a fluid supply for providing a fluid to the head, and an exit path for the fluid from the head that has a fluid entry. The resilient member is located at the fluid entry so that fluid flow into the fluid entry passes over a portion of the resilient member and creates a pressure difference across the resilient member such that the resilient member is urged into the fluid entry thereby reducing the fluid flow and reducing the pressure difference, whereby the resilient member and therefore the fiber can be induced to oscillate.
