摘要:
Foamed plastic structures that include one or more foamed plastic bodies containing a polymer matrix that includes one or more polymers formed by polymerizing a monomer mixture formed by polymerizing a monomer mixture containing vinyl aromatic monomers using a polymerization initiator having a structure corresponding to: R(Y)n where R is a C2 to C32 linear, branched, and/or cyclic aliphatic and/or aromatic group that can also include one or more atoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen, halides, silicon and sulfur, Y is a group that can generate a free radical capable of initiating polymerization of the monomers in the monomer mixture; and n is from 2 to 6. The structures formed can include, as non-limiting examples, pallets, containers, stackable containers, produce boxes, seafood shipping containers, geofoam blocks, and insulated concrete forms.
摘要:
A method of forming an integrated circuit is provided. The method includes performing a multiple-time flash anneal process to a wafer, wherein the multiple-time flash anneal process comprises preheating the wafer to a first preheat temperature; performing a first flash on the wafer with a first flash energy; preheating the wafer to a second preheat temperature; and performing a second flash on the wafer with a second flash energy.
摘要:
Novel TNF receptor death domain ("TNF-R1-DD") ligand proteins are disclosed. Polynucleotides encoding the TNF-R1-DD ligand protein are also disclosed, along with vectors, host cells, and methods of making the TNF-R1-DD ligand protein. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the TNF-R1-DD ligand protein, methods of treating inflammatory conditions, and methods of inhibiting TNF-R death domain binding are also disclosed. Methods of identifying inhibitors of TNF-R death domain binding and inhibitors identified by such methods are also disclosed.
摘要:
A method of forming a gate dielectric layer includes forming a gate dielectric layer over a substrate. The gate dielectric layer is processed with carbon-containing ions. The gate dielectric layer is thermally processed, thereby providing the gate dielectric layer with a level of carbon between about 1 atomic % and about 20 atomic %.
