derivative; and b) mixing the reduced molecular weight polysaccharide
derivative with an effective amount of at least one other water-borne paint
ingredient to obtain a water-borne paint.

Abstract: A method of depositing a bond coat (16) of
a thermal barrier coating (TBC) system (14) for a
component (10) designed for use in a hostile thermal
environment. The method yields a bond coat (16)
having an adequate surface roughness for adhering a
plasma-sprayed ceramic layer (18), while also
exhibiting high density and low oxide content. The
method generally entails forming the bond coat (16) by
depositing a metal powder on the substrate (12) using
a plasma spray or high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF)
technique. The metal powder contains particles that
are sufficiently large to incompletely melt during
deposition, yielding a surface roughness of at least
about 350 microinches Ra. The large particles cause
the bond coat (16) to have relatively low density and
a propensity to oxidize, both at the surface of the
bond coat (16) and internally due to the porosity of
the bond coat (16). The propensity for internal
oxidation is considerably reduced by heat treating the
bond coat (16) in a vacuum or inert atmosphere after
deposition and before exposure to a high temperature
oxidizing environment, such that interparticle
diffusion bonding and densification of the bond coat
(16) are promoted without oxidizing the bond coat
(16). Thereafter, a ceramic layer (18) is plasma
sprayed on the bond coat (16) without forming an oxide
scale on the particle surfaces, which if formed would
prevent subsequent interparticle diffusion bonding,
leaving unclosed porosity that reduces the oxidation
life of the bond coat (16).

Abstract: In a multiphase motor driver, each phase current is controlled by the ratio of measurements across a common sense element. By utilizing the same sense element for each phase, inaccuracies which result from the variance among multiple sense elements can be eliminated. The individual phase currents are controlled from a common clock generation device. By appropriately controlling each of the phase currents to assure that only one of the phase currents is flowing through the sense element at the time of measurement, the measurement is assured to be dependent on the individual current and the parametric value of the sense element only. Thereby, the control of the phase currents, via the ratio of the measured values across the common sense element, is independent of the parametric value of this common sense element.

Abstract: A method for displaying in a coherent manner the changes over time of a web site's
structure, usage, and content is disclosed. Time tubes are generated by a method
of displaying a related series of graphs. Time tubes illustrate changes in a graph
that undergoes one or more transformations from one state to another. The
transformations are displayed using the length of the cylindrical tube, filling the
length of the time tube with planar slices which represent the data at various stages
of the transformations. Time tubes may encode several dimensions of the
transformations simultaneously by altering the representation of size, color, and
layout among the planar slices. Temporal transformations occur when web pages
are added or deleted over time. Value-based transformations include node colors,
which may be used to encode a specific page's usage parameter. Spatial
transformations include the scaling of physical dimension as graphs expand or
contract in size. The states of a graph at various times are represented as a series
of related graphs. In a preferred embodiment, an inventory of all existing nodes is
performed so as to generate a list of all nodes that have existed at any time. This
inventory is used to produce a layout template in which each unique node is
assigned a unique layout position. To produce each planar slice, the specific nodes
which exist in the slice are placed at their respective positions assigned in the layout
template. In another aspect, corresponding nodes in planar slices are linked, such
as with translucent streamlines, in response to a user selecting a node in a planar
slice by placing his cursor over the selected node, or to show clustering of two or
more nodes in one planar slice into a single node in an adjacent planar slice.

Abstract: A receiver includes a first amplifying circuit (14) for
amplifying an input signal to thereby output an amplified
input signal V IN . A reference voltage generating circuit
(16) has the same configuration as the first amplifying
circuit (14) and generates a reference signal (V REF ) having
a reference voltage for the amplified input signal (V IN ). A
variable-gain amplifying circuit (18) variably adjusts the
gain of the level of a signal derived from the amplified
input signal (V IN )and reference signal (V REF ). The variable-gain
amplifying circuit (18) includes a second amplifying
circuit (180) for amplifying the amplified input signal (V IN )
and reference signal (V REF ) for maintaining linearity to
thereby output a pair of first differential signals and a
pair of second differential signals having shifted levels.
A first differential amplifier (184) performs differential
amplification based on the first differential signals. A
second differential amplifier (186) performs differential
amplification based on the first differential signals with
a higher gain than the first differential amplifier. A gain
controller (182) controls, based on the second differential
signals, the gains of the first and second differential
amplifiers (184, 186) with a control signal capable of
varying gain allocation to said the two differential
amplifiers. When the amplified input signal (V IN ) has an
amplitude far greater than the reference signal (V REF ), the
gain controller (182) causes a current to flow through only
one of the two differential amplifiers. When the amplified
input signal (V IN ) has an amplitude far smaller than the
reference signal (V REF ), the gain controller (182) causes the
two differential amplifiers to operate at the same time.
