Abstract: Fabrication methods are provided for microchips that control both the rate and time of release of multiple chemical substances and allow for the release of a wide variety of molecules in either a continuous or pulsatile manner. In all of the preferred embodiments, a material that is impermeable to the drugs or other molecules to be delivered and the surrounding fluids is used as the substrate. Reservoirs are etched into the substrate using either chemical (wet) etching or plasma (dry) etching techniques well known in the field of microfabrication. Hundreds to thousands of reservoirs can be fabricated on a single microchip using these techniques. A release system, which includes the molecules to be delivered, is inserted into the reservoirs by injection, inkjet printing, or spin coating methods. Exemplary release systems include polymers and polymeric matrices, non-polymeric matrices, and other excipients or diluents. The physical properties of the release system control the rate of release of the molecules. The reservoirs can contain multiple drugs or other molecules in variable dosages. The filled reservoirs can be capped with materials that passively disintegrate, materials that allow the molecules to diffuse passively out of the reservoir over time, or materials that disintegrate upon application of an electric potential. Release from an active device can be controlled by a preprogrammed microprocessor, remote control, or by biosensors.

Abstract: A security document (1), such as a bank note, is formed from a sheet-like substrate (10) of clear plastic material with layers (13, 14, 15, 16) of opacifying ink applied to the surfaces (11, 12) of the substrate (10). The security document (1) includes a security device (20) which is at least partially obscured by the layers (13, 14) of opacifying ink on a flat surface (11) of the substrate (10). The layers (15, 16) on the second surface (12) of the substrate (10) are applied in such a manner so as to leave a "half-window" area uncovered by opacifying ink through which the security device (20) is visible for one side of the document (1). The security device (20) may extend transversely outside the half-window area and be visible in transmission, enabling a different contrasting effect to be observed from both sides of the document.

Abstract: An mixing assembly which transfers a number of nutritional fluids from individual source containers into a collection container while noninvasively sensing the type of fluid being transferred is provided. The mixing assembly utilizes a transfer set to establish fluid communication between the source containers and the collection container. A sensing assembly is configured to noninvasively sense a number of the types of fluid flowing through the transfer set to help to prevent improper mixing. For other fluids for which the sensing assembly alone may not be able to distinguish with the desired accuracy, the mixing device utilizes a method to approximate the flow rate of that fluid with the flow rate also providing an indication of that type of fluid. By combining the output of the sensing assembly with the flow rate determination, additional fluids can be identified.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for chroma keying filtered textures are provided. Chroma keying is performed which replaces the input texel color with a new color if the input texel color matches the chroma color. The chroma key circuitry keeps the input texel color and sets the alpha component to 1 if the input texel color does not match the chroma color. The chroma keyed texels are filtered using bilinear filtering. The color components of the filtered texels are fogged using a fog factor, a fog color, and the alpha component of the filtered texel. The fogged and filtered signal is blended with a background color to produce an output color for the texels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring the thickness of a body, especially the wall thickness of extruded plastic tubes according to the ultrasonic echo principle. In order to obtain accurate measuring results of the thickness of a body even when temperatures fluctuate, the invention provides that the dampening of the ultrasonic signal is determined parallel to the propagation time measurement in the test sample. Said dampening is determined by comparing the mid-band frequencies of a wideband ultrasonic signal which passes into the body and the mid-band frequencies of the reflected ultrasonic signal which is emitted from said body after the body passes through the signal. Based on the concept of temperature compensation, the propagation rate of the ultrasonic signal in addition to the wall thickness are corrected using the detected measured value.
