Abstract: An image analysis method and apparatus (10) having an imaging assembly (12) and a processor (14) to quantify visual showthrough of printed images on the reverse face of planar objects, such as paper. An illumination level is set using a white reference object. A white reference image is stored in a computer memory. An image of a planar object having a printed image on the reverse face is stored in a computer memory. A pixel by pixel ratio of the two images is calculated and a mean value of the ratios is calculated to characterize the visual showthrough. The measurements are substantially independent of both the illumination level and image shading.

Abstract: A screen nozzle for a media retention screen is disclosed which includes a nipple, a bottom cover, a top cover, and a cylindrical screen element sandwiched between the top and bottom covers. The top cover is secured to the bottom cover by means of a threaded rod extending from either the bottom cover or the nipple through the interior of the screen through an aperture in the top cover with the top cover being retained in place by a nut or the like. The nipple is secured to the bottom cover by swaging and the threaded rod is welded to the bottom cover. Assembling the screen element using an internal threaded rod has two substantial advantages over existing screen nozzles. The first advantage is that there are no external welds which may damage or deform or foul the screen and which are also are potential areas of weaknesses which may be subject to corrosion. Secondly the screen element may be replaced without removing the nozzle from the screen plate. This makes repair and replacement of the screen nozzles considerably easier and also cheaper, since the nipple itself does not need to be replaced.

Abstract: Probiotic microorganisms are micro encapsulated by dispersing the probiotic microorganism in an aqueous suspension of a film forming protein and a carbohydrate;in an oil in water emulsion of a film forming protein and a carbohydrate and a fat; or in an oil which is subsequently dispersed in a film forming protein and a carbohydrate. The emulsion or suspension may be dried to form a powder. The probiotic may be dispersed in oil and then emulsified with the aqueous suspension and then dried to produce an encapsulated oil carrying probiotic. This may also be dried to produce a powder. Oil suspended probiotics may be preferred where the probiotic is water sensitive. The preferred protein is casein or whey protein and the carbohydrate may be a resistant starch or a saccharide with a reducing sugar group. Where the probiotic is oxygen sensitive the protein carbohydrate is heated to create Maillard reaction products in the encapsulating film.

Abstract: A method and system for purchased-based segmentation of potential customers employs the use of actual, observed purchases instead of presumptions and correlations to improve the accuracy of segmentation and involves collecting empirical data for a client on actual purchasing behavior of a group of customers and applying statistical modeling techniques to the empirical purchasing behavior data to identify segments or clusters of the customers that exhibit similar purchasing propensity characteristics. Thereafter, the segments or clusters are further differentiated from one another according to other factors having a tendency to directly affect actual purchasing behavior of the customers within the segments or clusters, and potential customers are then identified according to a correlation with the segments or clusters for customized marketing.

Abstract: A shaped charge liner formed by injection molding, where the liner components include powdered metal and organic binder. The liner components are blended then processed within an injection molding device and urged from the molding device into a mold where a liner shape is formed. The liner shape is debinded, both mechanically and chemically. Mechanical debinding involves heating and chemical debinding comprises treating the liner shape with a solution to dissolve and remove the binder components. The process of forming the shaped charge liner does not include sintering. The present process can also use "green products" formed by the injection molding device that are not debinded. A shaped charge case can also be formed using the present method. The added step of sintering can be applied to the process of forming the shaped charge case.

Abstract: In one embodiment, to locate a user-device having a Wi-Fi radio, the device is triggered to transmit a request to all Wi-Fi access points within range of the user device. Messages are received from the Wi-Fi access points within range of the user device, each message identifying the Wi-Fi access point sending the message. The signal strength of the messages received by the Wi-Fi access points is calculated. A reference database is accessed to obtain the calculated locations for the identified Wi- Fi access points. Based on the number of Wi-Fi access points identified via received messages, a corresponding location-determination algorithm is chosen from a plurality of location-determination algorithms. The calculated locations for the identified Wi-Fi access points and the signal strengths of the received messages and the chosen location-determination algorithm are used to determine the location of the user-device.

Abstract: Selon un aspect de l'invention, il s'agit d'une structure d'empilement d'une pile à combustible qui comprend plusieurs séparateurs pour la pile à combustible et une partie saillante dotée d'une pointe qui entre en contact avec la partie correspondante d'un bâti de montage à l'assemblage de la pile. Puisque la pointe de la partie saillante entre en contact avec la partie correspondante du bâti de montage, aucun agent adhésif ne s'écoule de la pointe de la partie saillante. On évite ainsi toute perte de précision du positionnement dans l'empilement des piles, cette perte étant causée par l'adhérence de l'agent adhésif qui s'étend à la partie correspondante du bâti de montage. De plus, la structure permet d'empêcher les courts-circuits causés par la déformation du séparateur dans le cas où il entrerait en contact avec la partie correspondante du bâti de montage.
