Title: System and method for modeling interactions
Inventor: FEJES PETER
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 2007-05-10
Granted: 2019-08-27
Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are used to create a model of interaction energies between a group of bodies, such as molecules or atoms in solution. A computer simulation of the molecular interactions of bodies in solution is performed by first creating a coordinate system that defines a position of each body in a two dimensional or a three-dimensional space. The system then divides the coordinate system into subsections (202) called bins. Bins (202) may be of different sizes. The number and size of bins varies depending on the number of bodies and each body's calculated position in the coordinate system. The number of bins is optimized, selected so that a maximum number of bins (202) contain only one body. This means there is also a corresponding minimum number of bins that contain either multiple bodies or no bodies. The systems and methods select a radius at which, at a certain distance from a selected molecule, the effect of other molecules on the selected molecule approximates zero. The binning system thus computes all of the significant interactions between N bodies in a solution without missing interacting pairs of bodies and without testing every possible interaction

Granted: 2012-04-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a filter candle for a backwash filter for filtering a fluid, said filter candle comprising a filter candle interior which is surrounded by a filter medium. The aim of the invention is to create a filter candle the filter medium of which can be cleaned in the backwash phase in a particularly effective and even manner. For this purpose, the filter candle comprises a backwash flow baffle element which can be displaced in a longitudinal direction of the filter candle by the backwash flow caused when the filter candle is backwashed and effects a local increase of the baffle pressure of the backwash flow. The backwash flow baffle element does not rest on the filter medium when the filter candle is backwashed.

Abstract: Methods, treatment compositions and treatment systems are disclosed for forming a detachable and renewable coating on a receptive surface by a process of applying a treatment composition comprising a plurality of hydrophobically modified fumed silica particles colloidally dispersed in a volatile solvent; allowing the volatile solvent to evaporate; and thereby depositing a protective coating on the receptive surface consisting of a layer of the hydrophobically modified particles, which provide a substantially transparent coating with dirt- and water-repellency properties that effectively shed dry particulate soils as well as water from the treated surface or treated article bearing a receptive surface. The methods, treatment compositions and treatment systems employing the hydrophobically modified fumed silica particle are particularly useful in providing nearly invisible detachable coatings and treated articles featuring surface protective benefits including dirt- and water-repellency, self-cleaning with water, and easier cleaning benefits when applied to a variety of automotive and home surfaces, both interior and exterior, including articles and materials such as metals, painted materials, sealed materials, plastics and polymeric articles, wood, textiles and the like.

Abstract: Some aspects of the present invention provide for the downloading of code, including but not limited to peripheral device code, upon the occurrence of predetermined events, sometimes referred to herein as "triggers." For example, exceeding a predetermined number of errors within a predetermined time may comprise a trigger. Some implementations provide new peripheral device code each time a gaming machine initializes. Some embodiments provide peripheral devices with relatively small (or no) non-volatile memory. A smaller non-volatile memory (as compared to prior art peripheral devices of the same type) may be possible because it is not necessary-and may not be desirable--to retain peripheral device code in non-volatile memory.

Abstract: Sugarcane bagasse consists of mainly three polymeric components, namely cellulose (40-45%), hemicellulose (xylan) (28-30%), and lignin (19-21%). A process is herein disclosed for fractionating sugarcane bagasse into cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin with high purity a-cellulose, which is a useful raw material for preparing cellulose esters like cellulose triacetate and other high value-added cellulose plastics. Co-production and recovery of hemicellulose (xylan) and lignin in high yields and high purities, along with a-cellulose, is another important feature of this process. Sugarcane bagasse consists of a material known as pith which constitutes 30-35% by weight of bagasse. Pith contains cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, in addition to various other ingredients and cell mass. The process described herein discloses the use of partially depithed bagasse as a preferred raw material for fractionation. Use of sugarcane bagasse containing pith leads to a product which is lower in yield as well as poorer in color.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process wherein a rotary knife or die, with one or more cutting edges, turns against and in coordination with a corresponding cylinder to create preferably trapezoidal ears. Ear material is slit into two lanes, one for a left side of a diaper and the other for a right side of a diaper. Fastening tapes are applied to both the right and the left ear webs. The ear material is then die cut with a nested pattern on a synchronized vacuum anvil. The resulting discrete ear pieces however, due to the trapezoidal pattern of the ears, alternate between a correct orientation and an incorrect (reversed) orientation. The reversed ear is required to be rotated 1800 into the correct orientation such that the ears and associated tape present a left ear and a right ear on the diaper.
