Title: Photopolymerizable & photocleavable resin and low stress composite compositions
Inventor: JIN XIAOMING
IPC: A61K6/884
Filed: 2007-06-14
Granted: 2013-11-12
Abstract: This invention relates to photopolymerizable & photocleavable resin monomers and resin composite compositions, which feature by its unique balanced overall performance including very low polymerization shrinkage and very low shrinkage stress as well. The photoreactive moiety incorporated into such new resin's main frame enable to make the resin and/or the cured resin networks that are based upon such resin photocleavable. Thus the polymerization rate of free radical reaction for (meth)acrylate-based resin systems should be substantially reduced since it alter the network formation process and consequently allow the shrinkage stress getting relief significantly. In addition, it is expected that radically polymerizable resin systems containing such P&P resin would find wide range application in microelectronic, special coating and restorative dentistry where the dimensional stability and contraction stress within cured materials are critical to the total performance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a power screwdriver (10) comprising a motor (12) as the drive, a desired torque default element (52) and an actual torque determination element (46), a torque gradient determination element (48) and a motor control (40) which controls the motor (12) depending on the torque gradient (dmd_lst/dt). The invention is characterized by a torque threshold determination element (50) which provides a torque threshold value (Md_Lim, Md_Lim1, Md_Lim2) that depends on the torque gradient (dmd_lst/dt) and lies below the desired torque value (Md_Soll). If the actual torque value (md_Ist) exceeds the torque threshold value (Md_Lim, Md_Lim1, Md_Lim2), a motor control (40) presets a speed reduction for the motor (12) or already completely switches off the motor (12). The power screwdriver (10) according to the invention avoids torque overshoots and yet allows the desired torque value (Md_Soll) to be exactly reached in the shortest time possible.

Abstract: A method for the compensation of frequency-response mismatch errors in M-channel time-interleaved ADCs. The compensation is done through an M-periodic time-varying filter h n ( k ) = h n mod M (k ) (2), or, equivalently, a set of Mtime-invariant filters hn (k), n = 0,1,..., M - 1. The overall compensation system is constructed by determining the Mfilter impulse responses h n (k) through M separate matrix inversions, where the size of the matrices equals the filter impulse response length. The invention further provides a compensated M -channel time-interleaved ADC (1, 2) based on and performing said method.
