A method of providing access to a secure receptacle to complete a package delivery is implemented through a storage compartment, a central server, a recipient computing device, and a courier computing device. The overall process includes a generation of a one-time key code by the central server upon completion of a purchase order, wherein the recipient computing device completes and transmits the purchase order. The one-time key code is then provided to the storage compartment and the courier computing device. The one-time key code allows a courier that assigned to the courier computing device to unlock the storage compartment and place a purchased product in the storage compartment. This ensures the secure placement of the purchased product. Additionally, when the storage compartment is unlocked through the one-time key code, the recipient computing device is notified that the package delivery process completed.

A dihydroxyphenyl cross-linked macromolecular network is provided that is useful in artificial tissue and tissue engineering applications, particularly to provide a synthetic macromolecular network for a wide variety of tissue types. In particular, artificial or synthetic cartilage, vocal cord material, vitreous material, soft tissue material and mitral valve material are described. In an embodiment, the network is composed of tyramine-substituted and cross-linked hyaluronan molecules, wherein cross-linking is achieved via peroxidase-mediated dityramine-linkages that can be performed in vivo. The dityramine bonds provide a stable, coherent hyaluronan-based hydrogel with desired physical properties.

Disclosed is a container cap having, as a sealing gasket, a layer of a resin composition as adhered to the surface of the cap body of polypropylene, wherein said resin composition comprises (A) from 25 to 70% by weight of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer having an ethylene content of from 20 to 60 mol % and a degree of saponification of at least 96% and (B) from 30 to 75% by weight of a polyolefin having a propylene or 1-butene content of at least 50 mol %. The container cap has excellent gas-barrier properties and sealability for containers, and is suitable for packaging containers for foods, medicines, agricultural chemicals, etc.
摘要:
An attractant bait composition has been discovered for the control of many species of roaches. A similar group of baits were also found to be effective for the control of wasps, flies, termites, and mosquitoes. The composition includes a food base, attractants, sweeteners, carriers, dispersants, surfactants, fragrances, preservatives and a toxicant or toxicants. Important further considerations in the design of a bait material is the consistency of the bait, taste of the bait, speed of action of the toxicant, type of toxicant and odor as perceived by the various insects.

An attractant bait composition and method for the control of many species of ants which includes a food base, attractants, sweeteners, carriers, dispersants, surfactants, fragrances, preservatives and one or more toxicants; wherein the method of application is of an ant bait composition having delayed ant toxic action comprising an ant attractant bait, containing a toxic effective amount of an ant effective toxicant, and in a delayed action formulation free of ant repellency characteristics. Further, considerations in the design selection of a bait material is the consistency of the bait, taste of the bait, speed of action of the toxicant, type of toxicant and odor as perceived by the ants.
摘要:
An optical component is formed on a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate and has an array waveguide that demultiplexes an input light signal into N channels and provides that light signal to a corresponding set of N waveguide structures formed on a surface of the SOI substrate. The N waveguide structures provide the N channels of light to N optical detectors. Each optical detector is bonded to a surface of a corresponding one of the waveguide structures. The N channels of light pass through the N waveguide structures and are coupled into the N optical detectors so that light from a corresponding channel of the array waveguide is coupled into a corresponding optical detector and converted into an electrical signal.

Methods and apparati for spatially encoding and decoding spread spectrum communication signals using broad band light sources are disclosed. The encoding algorithms involve the use of orthogonal spatial wavelets, which are preferably discrete attenuation functions of light from different sources so that the discrete attenuation function is imposed upon the spectrum of the light source. The function may be used either merely for providing an encoded channel or by providing a second mask that may be, for example, the complement of the discrete attenuation function so that the light beam is discrete with the first attenuation function.

A method for use with a gaming system that provides a game in which a plurality of symbols are selected and presented on a display to form one or more combinations includes: providing a base game, providing a feature game on the occurrence of a first event during play of the base game, awarding a jackpot on the occurrence of a second event during play of the feature game, and varying the probability of both the first and the second events dependent on at least an aspect of a wager placed by a player to play the base game, wherein said variation maintains at least an approximately constant probability of the jackpot being won despite variations in said aspect of the wager.

A compressive patient warming device is provided. The device includes an elastic inner layer that conforms snugly to a shape of an appendage of a patient so that the inner layer wraps around and substantially contacts most of an underlying surface area of the appendage. An outer layer is attached to and covers the inner layer to form a space that holds a heat transfer medium between the inner layer and the outer layer while the inner layer is wrapped around the appendage. The outer layer may be a rigid layer, and a predetermined compressive load may be applied to the outer layer to encourage blood flow in the appendage. A source of heat may be applied to the device to maintain normothermia and/or treat hypothermia.
