Inventor: GOODWIN ANDREW JAMES
IPC: B05D7/24
Filed: 2003-04-08
Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a polymeric coating on a substrate surface, which method comprises the steps of activating (A) at least one monomer selected from (a) at least one polymerizable organic acid monomer comprising at least one acid group and at least one polymerizable group and (b) at least one polymerizable organic acid anhydride monomer comprising at least one acid anhydride group and at least one polymerizable group and (B) at least one polymerizable organic base monomer comprising at least one basic group and at least one polymerizable group by subjecting the monomers to a soft ionization plasma process; and depositing the activated monomers resulting from step (i) onto the substrate surface thereby forming a polymeric coating containing salts resulting from interaction between acidic and basic functional groups on side chains of the polymeric coating. Preferred polymerizable groups are alkenyl groups. Polymeric salt coatings resulting from the above method have excellent barrier properties and coatings in accordance with the present invention will enhance the hydrophilic, biocompatible, anti-fouling and controlled surface pH applications of substrates such as filtration and separations media.

Inventor: REXBERG LEONARD
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: A power amplifier pre-distorter is formed by a FIR filter structure which includes an individual look-up table for each filter tap, where each look-up table represents a sampled polynomial in a variable representing signal amplitude, and means for selecting, from each filter tap look-up table, a filter coefficient that depends on the amplitude of a corresponding complex signal value to be multiplied by the filter tap. A training method for such a pre-distorter determines (S1) a first estimate of a first look-up table assigned to a first filter tap, assuming a second look-up table assigned to a second filter tap is set to predetermined table values. Thereafter the method determines (S2) a second estimate of the second look-up table, assuming the first look-up table is set to the determined first estimate. If deemed necessary, the method includes the further steps (a) refining (S3) the first estimate refined, assuming the second look-up table is set to the latest determined second estimate, and (b) refining (S4) the second estimate, assuming the first look-up table is set to the latest determined first estimate. Steps (a) and (b) may be repeated (S5) until convergence is reached.

Abstract: A multi-bag comprises a multi-film made
by superposing at least an inner film and an outer film and
sealing the cylindrically curved superposed region to form
a back seal. The multi-film constituting the multi-bag is
a double film formed by flattening a tube-like film into
a two-layer form, with the opposite end edges, which are
parallel with the direction of extrusion, continuing to each
other. The multi-bag is formed in a sealed state by a back
seal, a planar seal at one end, and a planar seal at the other
end. The supply system for the multi-film may be such that
one system is prepared for each double so as to simplify
the device. Further, in the film supply process, it is possible
to obtain a multi-bag of high quality without applying a
shift-preventive means to between the multi-films.

Abstract: The invention relates to the generating of images by means of a two-dimensional field of image sensors, notably by means of a flat dynamic X-ray detector FDXD. In order to adhere to with the maximum data rate Gmax of an evaluation unit (1) it is necessary to satisfy the relation x. y.f/b £ Gmax between the width x and the height y of a sub-region of the image sensor read out, the imaging rate f and the binning factor b. In conformity with the method, parameters defining the size, position and/or shape of the sub-region can be preset at will, the other variables of the inequality being adapted, if necessary, in such a manner that the inequality remains satisfied. In the context of the method there is also performed a mosaic calibration during which calibration images of the complete image sensor are composed from calibration images of sub-regions.

Abstract: A composition for a UV-curable inkjet ink that includes none or
almost no photoinitiator, and a method of polymerizing one or more
such inkjet inks having a viscosity and superficial tension suitable
for inkjet printing. The UV curable inkjet ink includes 20-40% by
weight of one or more monofunctional acrylates, 35-55% by weight of
one or more difunctional acrylates, 5-15% by weight of one or more
trifunctional acrylates, no more than approximately 5% by weight of
one or more pigments; and a minute quantity or photoinitiator. One
embodiment further includes 5-15% by weight of one or more highly
reactive acrylates and 0.5-1.5% stabilizer. The method includes
depositing the one or more inks on the substrate using one or more
inkjet heads in an inkjet printer, irradiating the deposited inks
with UV radiation relatively high in UVC radiation ("UVC-rich
radiation"), the UVC-rich radiation produced by a first UV source,
the irradiation while the substrate is moved relative to the first
UV source. The method further includes depleting the region close to
the substrate surface of oxygen such that the region between the
first UV source and the laid out inks is relatively free of oxygen
during the irradiating to increase the amount of UVC reaching the
inks and to reduce the lowering caused by oxygen of the
effectiveness of any photoinitiator in the ink. The inks are
relatively free of photoinitiator.
