The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition for polishing a substrate. The polishing composition comprises an oxidizing agent, calcium ion, an organic carboxylic acid, and water, wherein the polishing composition has a pH of about 1.5 to about 7. The invention further provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate with the aforementioned polishing composition.

Apparatus and methods are provided for treating sleep apnea, snoring, and the like using an implant within an oropharyngeal region adjacent an anterior longitudinal ligament. The implant includes an endless loop defining a curved central region between first and second regions in a horizontal plane. The central region is vertically narrow relative to the first and second regions, and the first and second regions are compressible vertically to allow the first region to be directed through or behind the ligament adjacent the oropharyngeal region such that the central region is disposed within or behind the ligament. The first region is resiliently expandable after passing through or behind the ligament to contact tissue adjacent the oropharyngeal region. The first and second regions are compressible into a “C” shape within the horizontal plane, yet biased to expand and apply a force to dilate the tissue adjacent the oropharyngeal region.

The invention provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate. A substrate comprising ruthenium and copper is contacted with a chemical-mechanical polishing system comprising a polishing component, hydrogen peroxide, an organic acid, at least one heterocyclic compound comprising at least one nitrogen atom, and water. The polishing component is moved relative to the substrate, and at least a portion of the substrate is abraded to polish the substrate. The pH of the polishing system is about 6 to about 12, the ruthenium and copper are in electrical contact, and the difference between the open circuit potential of copper and the open circuit potential of ruthenium in the polishing system is about 50 mV or less.

A collaboration services suite is adapted to support a plurality of integrated telecommunications services accessed by geographically dispersed team members using a virtual team environment (VTE) client that generates a graphical user interface (GUI) for each of the respective team members. Communications sessions are automatically set up by the collaboration services suite in response to request messages generated by the VTE client when a team member initiates a communications session request using the GUI. Team members require no knowledge of another team member's communications device address in order to initiate a communications session. The collaboration services suite includes a VTE server that communicates with the VTE clients, a presence engine that collects and maintains a status of communications devices specified in a current profile of the team member; and, a call server for handling setup and control of a voice component of each communications session completed.
摘要:
The present invention encompasses compounds of Formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or hydrates thereof, which are useful as novel non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators for treating a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases or conditions, and possess advantages over steroidal glucocorticoid ligands with respect to undesireable side-effects, efficacy, toxicity and/or metabolism. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use are also included.

摘要:
To provide information about the meaning of a multi-token expression in a first language, where the information is understandable in a second language, subexpressions are obtained, such as tokens, chunks, and sentences. The multi-token expression could, for example, be a sentence or an input text with more than one sentence. Translation choices are obtained in the second language for a set of the subexpressions. A subset of the translation choices of a subexpression are ranked, and the ranked translation choices are used to produce a sequence of translation choices for the multi-token expression as a whole. Information is then presented to a user about the sequence of translation choices, indicating in the second language the meaning of the multi-token expression. Translation choices can be ranked based on syntactic or semantic context, based on translation source, based on confidence levels, based on how each was obtained, in accordance with a user-selected process, and so forth. Information about the sequence can be presented through a paper or display-based user interface. In response to user signals, additional translation choices can be presented or other modifications can be made. A user-requested change in ranking can propagate to similar subexpressions in the multi-word expression or, through rules or weighted confidence levels, to similar subexpressions in subsequent multi-word expressions.
