Abstract: Procédé servant à établir la conformité de la couleur d'une surface ciblée et consistant à saisir une image numérique de cette surface ciblée et d'une carte de contrôle possédant des motifs constitués par des champs colorés, dont chacun présente une couleur réelle connue. On analyse cette image numérique afin de déterminer la couleur de la cible saisie, ainsi que les couleurs saisies des champs colorés de la carte de contrôle. On calcule à partir des couleurs saisies et connues des champs colorés de cette carte de contrôle, un modèle de correction évaluant les conditions d'éclairage ambiant et les déformations dues au dispositif de saisie d'images. On applique ce modèle de correction à la couleur ciblée saisie et on compare l'évaluation obtenue de la couleur réelle ciblée à une base de données de couleur de produit réelle afin de déterminer la couleur de produit présentant la conformité la plus proche.

Abstract: Methods and devices for electrochemically detecting a change in the viscosity of a fluid are provided. In the subject methods, a fluid sample is introduced into an electrochemical cell having oppositely spaced apart working and reference electrodes. An electric potential is applied to the cell to first achieve a steady state cell current. A decrease in the steady state cell current is then detected and related to a change in viscosity of the sample. In many embodiments, the sample is blood and the change in viscosity is related to the onset of coagulation in the blood sample, and often the PT of the blood sample. Also provided are test strips, kits thereof and meters for use in practicing the subject methods.

Title: Method for producing meltable polyesters
Inventor: HEINEMANN KLAUS
IPC: C08G63/00
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing and processing polyester block copolymers, in particular, polyester side-chain grafted, rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chain polymers. According to the invention, the monomeric units of rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chain polymers are, preferably in the melt, polycondensated together with monofunctionalized and/or difunctionalized, cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides to form polymers having anhydride terminal and/or side groups. The formed polyester anhydrides are reacted with the hydroxyl groups and/or with the ester groups of meltable linear polyesters in order to form side-chain grafted, rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chained polymers and, together with meltable polyesters, they form molecularly reinforced blends. These blends can be shaped into filaments or fibers having a high orientation of the reinforcing polymer or they serve as compatibility mediators in blends consisting of a polyester matrix and of rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chain polymers. The filaments are used, in particular, in technical fields or in the carpet industry.

Abstract: A magnetorheological fluid formulation in which the base liquid is
optimized to exhibit an acceptable viscosity, a low volatility, improved low
temperature flow properties, and an improved elastomeric compatibility. The
fluid formulation includes a base liquid containing a mixture of 1-dodecene
polyalphaolefin and a diester, such as dioctyl sebacate. The diester is added to
the mixture in an amount effective to produce seal swelling and to lower the
pour point. The viscosity of the fluid formulation is suitable for diverse
vibration damping applications that require a vibration damping device to
operate in the temperature range of about -40EC to about 100EC. The low
volatility and seal swelling properties of the fluid formulation reduce, inhibit or
eliminate fluid loss about the seals of the vibration damping device.

Abstract: A one-time programmable ("OTP") memory includes one or more memory
arrays (700) stacked on top of each other. The OTP memory array (700) is a cross-point
array where unit memory cells (790) are formed at the cross-points. The unit
memory cell (790) may include a fuse (230, 330) and an anti-fuse (280, 380) in series
with each other or may include a vertically oriented fuse (430, 530). Programming
the memory may include the steps of selecting unit memory cells (790), applying a
writing voltage such that critical voltage drop across the selected cells (790) occur.
This causes the anti-fuse (280, 380) of the cell (790) to break down to a low
resistance. The low resistance of the anti-fuse (280, 380) causes a high current pulse
to be delivered to the fuse (230, 330), which in turn melts the fuse (230, 330) to an
open state. Reading the memory may include the steps of selecting unit memory cells
(790) for reading, applying a reading voltage to the selected memory cells (790) and
measuring whether current is present or not. Equipotential sensing may be used to
read the memory.
