摘要:
An intelligent label that informs consumers of product quality criteria. The intelligent label includes message indicators that reversibly or irreversibly change color and exhibit a large hysteresis characteristic in response to a temperature change. The message indicators are selected from the group consisting of product quality messages, medical messages, emergency messages, spiritual messages, joke messages, health messages, warning messages, trivia messages, astrological messages, riddle messages, cartoon indicators, and symbol indicators.

The child safe cream dispenser is a child-resistant pump-actuated dispenser for topical preparations having an elongated housing, the housing defining a container for holding a supply of cream or other viscous material. A plunger mechanism functions to advance a piston through a one-way ratchet or clutch mechanism so that successive operation of the plunger mechanism causes the piston to advance towards a dispensing opening. A trigger release mechanism disables the plunger mechanism until a release button has cleared the sidewall of the housing. The dispensing outlet may have a cap or a ball valve that is either pivoted or rotated to an open position by operation of the plunger trigger.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for measuring characteristics of a piece of material, typically semiconductor materials including photovoltaic devices. The characteristics may include dislocation defect density, grain boundaries, reflectance, external LBIC, internal LBIC, and minority carrier diffusion length. The apparatus includes a light source, an integrating sphere, and a detector communicating with a computer. The measurement or calculation of the characteristics is calibrated to provide accurate, absolute values. The calibration is performed by substituting a standard sample for the piece of material, the sample having a known quantity of one or more of the relevant characteristics. The quantity measured by the system of the relevant characteristic is compared to the known quantity and a calibration constant is created thereby.

Systems and methods are disclosed for scheduling jobs to insertion machines. In one embodiment, the system comprises a communications interface to receive an insertion machine job and a data store to store the insertion machine job and setup information for a plurality of insertion machines, the setup information including job configuration information for jobs scheduled to the insertion machines. Logic is communicatively coupled with the data store and is configured to evaluate each of the insertion machines based at least in part on the setup information and one or more criteria associated with the insertion machine job, to select one of the insertion machines based on the evaluation, and to schedule the insertion machine job to the selected insertion machine.
