Abstract: Sheet material is given low oxygen permeability or prepared for winding high voltage capacitors by evaporating polyfunctional acrylate monomer having a molecular rate in the range of from 150 to 600 and condensing the acrylate as a monomer film on a dielectric or thermoplastic substrate. The acrylate is polymerized by irradiation by ultraviolet or electrons. A metallized layer provides an electrode of a capacitor. Electrical contact can be made to the metal layer by Schooping even though the metallized layer is covered by a layer of acrylate. A material selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, titanium nitride, aluminum oxide and metal may be deposited for forming an oxygen barrier. Adhesion is enhanced by plasma treatment of a surface immediately before deposition. Condensation efficiency is also enhanced by chilling the substrate on which the acrylate is condensed.

Abstract: An error detection mechanism for detecting programing errors in a computer program. A component of the computer program, e.g., a procedure or function of the computer program, is analyzed to determine the effect of the component on resources used by the computer program. A component is analyzed by traversing the computer instructions, i.e., statements, of the component and tracking the state of resources used by the component as affected by the statements of the component. Each resource has a prescribed behavior represented by a number of states and transition between states. Violations in the prescribed behavior of a resource resulting from an emulated execution of the statements of the component are detected and reported as programming errors. Resources used by two or more components are modelled by modelling externals of the components. The effect of execution of a component on externals and resources of the component is determined by traversing one or more possible control flow paths through the component and tracking the use of each external and resource by each statement of each control flow path. Once the effect of execution of a component on externals and resources of the component is determined, a model of the component is created and used to model externals and resources of other components which invoke the modelled component.

Abstract: A method of analyzing and sequencing saccharide material composed of saccharide chains. The saccharide chains are end referenced, e.g., by labeling or tagging at their reducing ends, and the saccharide material is subjected to a controlled partial depolymerisation using a selection scission reagent, for example, low pH nitrous acid, which cleaves internal glycosidic linkages in accordance with known linkage specificity so as to produce a mixed set of saccharide chain fragments having different lengths ranging throughout the full spectrum of possible lengths for the particular glycosidic linkage specificity of the selective scission reagent employed. Samples of the mixed set of saccharide chain fragments are then treated with selected exoenzymes including exoglycosidases that cleave only particular glycosidic linkages at the non-reducing end of saccharide chains. These exoenzymes are applied to the samples either singly or in combination in accordance with a predetermined strategy. The treated samples are then analyzed, to detect the chain fragments present which have a reducing end derived from the reducing end of the corresponding chain in the original saccharide material and the monosaccharide sequence in the saccharide starting material is then deduced.

Abstract: A technique is described for liquefying, or gelifying, a hardened, cataractous lens nucleus and aspirating the same. Heat or heated solution is delivered to the lens nucleus in vivo so that the heat or heated solution is placed in contact with the hardened nucleus in order to heat and liquefy the same. The lens nucleus is irrigated simultaneously with a cooled solution to thereby limit to a very small area where the heat or heated solution is present in the eye. This allows the surgeon precise control over which intraocular anterior segment structures are exposed to the heat or heated solution. The liquefied lens nuclear material is then aspirated from the eye. The above allows the removal of a lens nucleus through a 1 to 2 mm corneal or limbal incision which is smaller than the smallest incision allowable with previously known small incision cataract techniques. The above benefits the patient as it allows small incision cataract removal to be done in a way that is non-traumatic to intraocular structures. The above benefits the surgeon, and the patient, in that it is a relatively straightforward and easy surgical maneuver for the surgeon to perform. This is in stark contrast to current phacoemulsification, which is potentially very traumatic to intraocular structures, and which is a relatively difficult surgical maneuver to perform.

Abstract: A method of transferring funds electronically, is performed by a group of N computers X(1) thru X(N) which are intercoupled to each other, and to another computer Y, by a communication channel. Each computer of the group includes multiple customer accounts, and the computer Y includes a net account for each computer of the group. To initiate the transfer of funds between two customer accounts, a customer sends an input request to one of computers X(i) of the group; and this input request specifies that funds F(z) be transferred in a particular direction between a customer account A(r) in computer X(i) and a customer account A(s) in another computer X(j) of the group. For each input request that is received by computer X(i), a respective sequence of electronic control messages is sent on the communication channel among the computers X(i), X(j) and Y. By this sequence of control messages, computer X(i) tests the status of customer account A(r); computer X(j) tests the status of customer account A(s); and computer Y tests the status of the net accounts for computers X(i) and X(j). If all of the tests by the computers X(i) and x(j) are satisfied, then those computers both authorize computer Y to transfer the funds F(z) between the net accounts for computers X(i) and X(j); and if all of the tests by computer Y are satisfied, then computer Y authorizes the computers X(i) and X(j) to transfer the funds F(z) between the customer accounts A(r) and A(s). This authorization from all three computers eliminates the need to reverse a transfer of funds; and consequently, the transferred funds are available for withdrawal immediately after the sequence of messages is completed successfully.
