Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for single sign-on process for remote-access to remote servers, using user equipment associated with a user. An intermediate device (e.g., smart-card) associated with the user equipment may be activated using local-access authentication information provided by the user. The local-access authentication data may be provided by the user in response to requests by the user equipment. Once activated, the intermediate device may support remote-access operations, by providing, in response to authentication requests received from remote servers, remote-access authentication data, which may be used in authenticating the user at the remote servers. The authentication requests may be sent by the remote server to the user equipment in response to the user requesting remote access. The remote-access authentication data may be provided without requiring user input, once the intermediate device is activated. Further, the remote-access authentication data is different from the local-access authentication data.

Abstract: A breathable multilayer film including a breathable core layer and one or two skin layers is prepared by providing a core layer mixture of a thermoplastic polymer and a particulate filler, providing a skin layer mixture of at least two incompatible polymers, coextruding the core and skin layer mixtures to form a multilayer film, and stretching the multilayer film to cause void formation in the core layer and crack formation in the one or two skin layers. By forming cracks in the skin layers during stretching, the skin layers can perform dual functions of alleviating die build-up of filler from the core layer during coextrusion, and bonding the film to a substrate subsequent to coextrusion, without unduly hindering the moisture vapor transmission rate of the film or laminate product. The breathable film, and laminates including the film, are useful in a wide variety of personal care absorbent articles, medical garments, and other products.

Abstract: An improved rosette for securing a disc having a central aperture includes a raised cylindrical hub projecting upward from a planar base, the hub being formed of first and second upstanding annular sections having substantially cylindrical side walls1, the first annular section comprising at least 180 DEG  of the circumferential extent of the circular hub. Each of the annular sections includes at least one radially extending rim projecting outwardly beyond the cylindrical side walls. The second annular section cylindrical wall is positioned radially outwardly of the cylindrical wall of the first annular section and is supported on the base for allowing radially inward and downward pivoting of its cylindrical wall. An arm cantilevered from the cylindrical wall of the second annular section above the base extends radially inwardly toward the central axis of the hub such that downward finger pressure applied to the free end of the arm causes the cylindrical wall of the second annular section to pivot radially inwardly and downwardly to allow the central aperture of a disc mounted on the rosette to be released from engagement with the radially extending rims for one-handed removal of the disc from the rosette. Optionally, the rosette may include resilient ejection means to support a disc above the base when the disc is mounted on the rosette and to urge the disc off of the rosette when the disc is released from engagement with the radially extending rims.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for separating heteroduplex and homoduplex DNA molecules in a mixture. In the method, such a mixture is applied to an anion-exchange chromatography medium. The heteroduplex and homoduplex molecules are eluted with a mobile phase containing an eluting salt, including an anion and a cation, a buffer, and preferably including an organic solvent. The eluting is carried out under conditions effective to at least partially denature the heteroduplexes (e.g., thermal or chemical denaturing) resulting in the separation of the heteroduplexes from the homoduplexes. The method has many applications including, but not limited to, detecting mutations and comparative DNA sequencing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a chemically inducible promoter for transforming plants or plant cells with genes which are regulatable by adding the plants or cells to a medium containing an inducer or by removing them from such medium. The promoter is inducible by a glucocorticoid, estrogen or inducer not endogenous to plants. Such promoters may be used with any plant genes that can promote shoot regeneration and development to induce shoot formation in the presence of a glucocorticoid, estrogen or inducer. The promoter may be used with antibiotic or herbicide resistance genes or other genes which are regulatable by the presence or absence of a given inducer. Also presented are organisms or cells comprising a gene wherein the natural promoter of the gene is disrupted and the gene is placed under the control of a transgenic inducible promoter. These organisms and cells and their progeny are useful for screening for conditional gain of function and loss of function mutations.

Abstract: The mixing element (10) has a central hole (12) for keying to the shaft (26) of the screw and an outer profile (14) which can be produced as a result of the removal of material from a circular element along at least one arc of its outer portion by cutting performed by a point-like element rotating around a circle with a diameter equal to that of the circular element. The point-like element and the circular element rotate in the same direction and at the same speed and the centres of the circular element and of the circle are spaced apart by a distance less than their diameter. During a portion of the cutting process, the distance between the centres of the circular element and of the circle is reduced so that the portion (18) of the outer profile (14) which is correspondingly cut is recessed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electrophotographic (EP) image-forming device and related method are provided for on-line quantitative assessment of the image information and development process. The EP image-forming device has a primary charger (118), an exposure device (120), a toning station (125), a transfer charger (130), a fusion station (140), and a cleaner (150) operatively disposed about the photoconductor. A transmission densitometer (165, 170) is positioned adjacent to the photoconductor. The densitometer determines the photoconductor density and the combination photoconductor and toner density for each step area on the image frame. The density readings are stored in memory. The photoconductor densities are subtracted from the combined densities to provide measured toner densities, which are then averaged for each step area. The average measured toner densities or voltage readings are compared to the aim toner densities or voltage readings for each step in the step tablet to quantitatively assess the image quality of the image-forming process. Preferably, every image frame on the photoconductor is assessed successively.

Abstract: A diagnostic imaging system (100) and method generates a plurality of temporally resolved volume image representations (130, 132, ..., 134). A time course projection processor (140) temporally collapses the volume image representations. A spatial projection processor (146) performs a maximum or minimum intensity process along rays through voxels of a three-dimensional image representation. By sequentially temporally collapsing and maximum or minimum intensity projecting, in either order, the plurality of temporally resolved volume image representations is reduced to a two-dimensional temporally collapsed and spatially projected image representation (148). In preferred embodiments, the present invention is directed to angiography, and more preferably to magnetic resonance angiography. In certain embodiments, time course information, such as blood flow rate information, vessel wall dynamics, contrast agent propagation, contrast agent peak arrival time, and the like, is logged in a database, providing additional diagnostic information or timing information for future reference. In this manner, more accurate images of vessel lumina, as well as blood flow time variant effects, are obtained. <IMAGE>
