Abstract:
A contact lithography apparatus 100, 220, a system 200 and a method 300 use a hydraulic deformation to facilitate pattern transfer. The apparatus, the system and the method include a spacer 120, 226 that provides a spaced apart proximal orientation of lithographic elements 110, 228a, 130, 228b, and a hydraulic force member 140, 240 that provides the hydraulic deformation. One or more of the lithographic elements and the spacer is deformable, such that hydraulic deformation thereof facilitates the pattern transfer.
Abstract:
A displacement estimation system (100 / 400 / 600) comprising a data acquisition system (106) and a processing system (108) is provided. The data acquisition system is configured to capture a first frame (112A) from a first substrate (102A) including a first pattern (104A) and a second substrate (102B) including a second pattern (104B) at a first time and capture a second frame (112B) from a third substrate (102A) including a third pattern (104A) and a fourth substrate (102B) including a fourth pattern (104B) at a second time subsequent to the first time. The first pattern and the third pattern are substantially identical, and the second pattern and the fourth pattern are substantially identical. The processing system is configured to calculate a first displacement (312) between the first pattern and the third pattern using the first frame and the second frame and calculate a second displacement (314) between the second pattern and the fourth pattern using the first frame and the second frame.
Abstract:
A scheme for retrieving digital multimedia content from a network node. An RTSP SET_PARAMETER message is provided to the network node by a client application executing on a digital multimedia device, wherein the message contains at least one of a playlist identifier, a media clip index and an indication of an activation time. Responsive to the message, content from a particular content source identified by the playlist identifier, the media clip index, or both, is streamed to the digital multimedia device at a time determined responsive to the activation time.
Abstract:
A channel (412) is described that has a backplane interface unit (401) that selects a signal (406) from a backplane. The backplane interface unit is coupled to a cross connect table (411) that provides an indication (450) where the signal may be found on the backplane. The indication is correlated to a logical label. The logical label is correlated to a frame location (402) that the selected signal is transmitted within.
Abstract:
Polyether (meth)acrylates based on cyanuric acid or substituted cyanuric acid and multifunctional alcohol, which optionally include triethanolamine units, have wide applications in UV curable adhesives, coatings, inks, sealants, paints or 3D printing. These polyether acrylates have rigid cyanurate structure endowing the material with extra strength and thermal stability. Furthermore, triethanolamine unit, when present, endows the material with anti-oxygen inhibition property in UV curing process. These polyether (meth)acrylates have low viscosity and high reactivity towards UV curing. The cured resins have high resilience and strength. The process of making the polyether (meth)acrylates includes the synthesis of trifunctional polyether polyols through controlled polymerization of propylene oxide using multifunctional alcohol (such as glycerol and sucrose), cyanuric acid acid or substituted cyanuric acid, and optionally triethanolamine, in the presence of a catalyst, followed by the synthesis of polyether (meth)acrylates through transesterification or through direct esterification of the trifunctional polyether polyols.
Abstract:
A system for and method of antimicrobial susceptibility testing includes detecting a resonance peak of a sensor provided with live microbes on a surface thereof; applying a substance to the live microbes; detecting a resonance peak of said sensor after application of said substance; determining a width of a top of each of said resonance peaks before and after application of the substance from one of: (1) a phase angle versus frequency plot where the phase angle is the phase angle of the electrical impedance of said sensor, (2) a real part of a plot of an electrical impedance versus frequency of said sensor, (3) a plot of a magnitude of electrical impedance versus frequency of said sensor, and (4) a phase angle versus frequency plot where the phase angle is the phase angle between an output voltage and an input voltage of said sensor, and comparing the determined widths of tops of said resonance peaks or standard deviations of the frequency of said resonance peaks to determine antimicrobial susceptibility including the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).
Abstract:
A physically unclonable function (PUF) includes a plurality of PUF elements to generate an N-bit PUF signature. For each bit in the N-bit PUF signature, a PUF group of K number of individual PUF elements indicating a single-bit PUF value is used to generate a group bit. The group bits are more repeatable than the individual PUF elements. The value K may be selected such that (K+1)/2 is an odd number.
Abstract:
An IP flow is received by an Internet Protocol (IP) mobility anchor point, where the IP mobility anchor point is to anchor traffic of a mobile node. The IP mobility anchor point routes different subsets of the packets of the IP flow to corresponding different points of attachment of the mobile node.
Abstract:
An apparatus for filtering species in a fluid includes a body having a first side and a second side, a first set of nano-fingers positioned on the body near the first side, a second set of nano-fingers positioned on the body closer to the second side than the first set of nano-fingers, wherein the nano-fingers in the second set of nano-fingers are arranged on the body at a relatively more densely than the nano-fingers in the first set of nano-fingers, and a cover positioned over the first set of nano-fingers and the second set of nano-fingers to form a channel with the body within which the first and second sets of nano- fingers are positioned.
