Abstract:
A process for making multi-color dispersion, a dispersion made thereof and a coating composition comprising the dispersion are provided. The process comprises: contacting a first colorant, a first aqueous dispersion of polymer particles, a first polysaccharide and a second polysaccharide to make a first colorant dispersion; contacting the first colorant dispersion with a composition to obtain a dispersion of protected first colorant particles; obtaining a dispersion of protected second colorant particles by the same way; mixing the two dispersions to obtain a multi-color dispersion.
Abstract:
The invention relates generally to gelsolin binding agents (e.g., antibodies) which can bind to gelsolin polypeptides. Gelsolin binding agents of the invention are useful, alone or in combination, to detect a gelsolin polypeptide in a test sample. In particular, the gelsolin binding agents are useful in assays of urine samples to diagnose a gelsolin-related medical condition. Kits to detect gelsolin in biological samples are also provided by the present disclosure.
Abstract:
A volume-based charging method for single UE in MBMS services of WCDMA mobile communication system is proposed, which includes following steps: when UE starts to receive MBMS service data, UE itself collecting accounting the data volume it has successfully received and sending the report message to the RNC it belongs to periodically. RNC saving the data volume successfully received by each UE and updating the data volumes constantly with the periodical data volume reports of UE; when SGSN closes or queries the CDR of an UE, it voluntarily sending a request to the RNC; after RNC receives the request, it feedbacks the data volume saved to SGSN via a response message. SGSN creates a complete billing data record for Billing System. This invention solves the statistic problem for a single UE in common data service and effectively alleviates the problem of uplink signaling congestion.
Abstract:
The invention relates generally to gelsolin binding agents (e.g., antibodies) which can bind to gelsolin polypeptides. Gelsolin binding agents of the invention are useful, alone or in combination, to detect a gelsolin polypeptide (a.k.a., the target polypeptide) in a test sample as well as to purify native gelsolin proteins. Gelsolin binding agents are also useful to diagnose, a gelsolin related medical condition in subjects in need thereof. Kits to detect gelsolin in biological samples are provided by the present invention.
Abstract:
Various on-chip capacitors and methods of making the same are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of manufacturing a capacitor is provided that includes forming a first conductor structure on a semiconductor chip and forming a passivation structure on the first conductor structure. An under bump metallization structure is formed on the passivation structure. The under bump metallization structure overlaps at least a portion of the first conductor structure to provide a capacitor.
Abstract:
Cutin-based devices, coatings and methods of producing such devices and coatings are presented herein. Cutin-like materials (CLMs) are presented which mimic and adapt coatings found in nature for the next generation of functional coatings. Cutin has several advantages including excellent UV resistance, natural resistance to bacteria and viruses, noncorrosive, and stability under abrupt changes in temperature and environment. CLMs can be engineered at the nanoscale and readily impregnated with metals and metal oxides materials.
