Steel cabinet parts and other steel objects are electrocoated in a cationic resin-containing bath. The steel objects are chromium-coated, free of phosphate and preferably free of chromium oxide. The products are not significantly subject to filiform corrosion, and the process is economically beneficial because throwpower is more easily controlled than in previous processes.
摘要:
A method for the inhibition of the binding of α4β1 integrin to its receptors, for example VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) and fibronectin; compounds that inhibit this binding; pharmaceutically active compositions comprising such compounds; and to the use of such compounds either a above, or in formulations for the control or prevention of diseases states in which α4β1 is involved.
摘要:
A microelectronic substrate including at least one microelectronic device disposed within an opening in a microelectronic substrate core, wherein an encapsulation material is disposed within portions of the opening not occupied by the microelectronic devices, or a plurality microelectronic devices encapsulated without the microelectronic substrate core. At least one conductive via extended through the substrate, which allows electrical communication between opposing sides of the substrate. Interconnection layers of dielectric materials and conductive traces are then fabricated on the microelectronic device, the encapsulation material, and the microelectronic substrate core (if present) to form the microelectronic substrate.

An organic photosensitive optoelectronic device, having an anode, a cathode, and an organic blocking layer between the anode and the cathode is described, wherein the blocking layer comprises a phenanthroline derivative, and at least partially blocks at least one of excitons, electrons, and holes.
摘要:
A process for separating organic components from a pulp mill waste stream comprising the steps of washing a cellulose pulp to obtain an aqueous extraction liquor containing organic components, and separating at least a portion of said organic components from the extraction liquor by passing the extraction liquor through at least one nanofiltration membrane. The process may be used in conjunction with a variety of pulp mill processes, including kraft cooking processes, hot caustic extraction processes, sulfite cooking processes, and bleaching processes.
摘要:
A lateral heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT), comprising a semiconductor substrate having having a first insulating layer over the semiconductor substrate. A base trench is formed in a first silicon layer over the first insulating layer to form a collector layer over an exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate and an emitter layer over the first insulating layer. A semiconductive layer is formed on the sidewalls of the base trench to form a collector structure in contact with the collector layer and an emitter structure in contact with the emitter layer. A base structure is formed in the base trench. A plurality of connections is formed through an interlevel dielectric layer to the collector layer, the emitter layer, and the base structure. The base structure preferably is a compound semiconductive material of silicon and at least one of silicon-germanium, silicon-germanium-carbon, and combinations thereof.

摘要:
A bistable structure provided by the invention is characterized as including a deflection element that has mechanically constrained end points and a compliant span between the end points that is substantially free to deflect between two stable positions when a force is applied at a point along the span. The deflection element span is provided, as-fabricated, curved in one of the two stable positions and in a mechanically unstressed condition along the length of the span. The as-fabricated curve of the deflection element span includes a curve maxima at a point along the span length that is at least about ¼ of the span length from the end points of the span. The deflection element span is constrained to substantially prohibit development of a second bending mode that is characteristic for the span as the element deflects between the two stable positions.
摘要:
Systems and methods by which to subject cellulosic fibers to alkaline treatment are provided. The systems and methods of the invention include equipment, such as nanofiltration units and slurry concentrators, which result in a lowered overall consumption of alkaline solution during alkaline treatment. The systems and methods of the invention further allow the components of hemicaustic streams produced by such alkaline treatments to be utilized in higher value end uses.
