Abstract:
Anti-fogging apparatus and methods for protective eyewear which use air flow directed by designed nozzles to the surface of the lens of the protective eyewear are described. The established flow into the mask reduces or eliminates fogging on a lens of the mask. In some examples, air is directed into the interior protective area using nozzles that are positioned at particular angles relative to the lens. Said apparatus operates under particular configurations and with described methodology to improve anti-fogging ability while creating minimal disruption to the user's eyes.
Abstract:
A smoking article filter (20) comprises a recess (25) to receive a filter insert unit (30). The filter insert unit (30) is secured to the filter (20) once inserted. The filter (20) and the filter insert unit (30) may comprise additives such as flavourants, colourants or sorbents.
Abstract:
In one aspect, the present invention provides an ophthalmic lens (e.g., an IOL) that includes an optic having an anterior surface and a posterior surface disposed about an optical axis. At least one of the surfaces (e.g., the anterior surface) has a profile characterized by superposition of a base profile and an auxiliary profile. The auxiliary profile can include an inner region, an outer region and a transition region between the inner and the outer regions, where an optical path difference across the transition region (i.e., the optical path difference between the inner and the outer radial boundaries of the transition region) corresponds to a non-integer fraction (e.g., ½) of a design wavelength (e.g., a wavelength of about 550 nm).
Abstract:
Methods, manufactures, machines and compositions are described for nanotransfer and nanoreplication using deterministically grown sacrificial nanotemplates. An apparatus, includes a substrate and a nanoconduit material coupled to a surface of the substrate. The substrate defines an aperture and the nanoconduit material defines a nanoconduit that is i) contiguous with the aperture and ii) aligned substantially non-parallel to a plane defined by the surface of the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a hardfaced plate (1) by applying a cladding (3) to a surface of a substrate (40) by arc welding, the method comprising moving the substrate (4) and a continuous arc welding wire feed (23) relative to each other, wherein the welding wire feed (23) is in a direction generally transverse to said given direction of relative movement. The welding wire can be fed by a welding gun (23) to the surface of the substrate (4) to be clad from one side of the given direction of relative movement at an acute angle to the surface of the substrate (40).
Abstract:
There is disclosed a system and method of formulating a batch comprising at least two ingredients. An embodiment is disclosed wherein a feedforward algorithm can be used to control the target blend. Subsequently a feedback closed loop control loop algorithm is provided for a multivariant blend. Use of this approach allows for a continuously autoreplenished and controlled blend. Another enhancement disclosed is the ability to control via feedforward and feedback algorithms a fast responding control mode which allows for the elimination of a tank. This approach will allow for “one pass” blending with control. Feedback control can be provided via process indicators or through analytical or parametric methods. The controller implements an automated fault detection and correction system, thereby identifying necessary maintenance prior to failure. If failure does occur the signature recognition allows rapid analysis and correction thus maximizing tool availability.

The invention relates to compounds of general formula (I): wherein: each of R1 and R9 is independently selected from: —H, C1-4alkyl, C2-4alkenyl, and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of R3NA and R3NB is independently selected from: —H, C1-4alkyl, C2-4alkenyl, and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of R7NA and R7NB is independently selected from: —H, C1-4alkyl, C2-4alkenyl, and halogenated C1-4alkyl; and wherein: each of RA and RB is independently selected from: C1-4alkyl, halogenated C1-4alkyl, and C6-10aryl; or RA and RB are linked to form a group selected from: C1-6 alkylene and C6-10 arylene; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are useful in the treatment of, for example, Alzheimer's disease. In other aspects the invention also relates to novel formulations of 3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazinium salts.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for optimizing the performance of a vehicle under normal operating conditions. A vehicle system adjusts one or more vehicle operating parameters in a closed-loop in response to data received from sensors. A portable vehicle communication interface module is selectively attached to the vehicle without inhibiting normal operation of the vehicle. When connected to the vehicle, the vehicle communication interface module records the adjustments made by the vehicle system in closed-loop operation. These recorded values are then used to update calibration information that the vehicle system uses as default values.
