Abstract: A method for forming an isoporous graded film comprising multiblock copolymers and isoporous graded films. The films have a surface layer and a bulk layer. The surface layer can have at least 1×1014 pores/m2 and a pore size distribution (dmax/dmin)) of less than 3. The bulk layer has an asymmetric structure. The films can be used in filtration applications.

Abstract: The invention allows an accurate and automated method and system for determining an intrinsic frequency of an EEG band of a person. Intrinsic frequency values (specifically the intrinsic alpha frequency (IAF)) are used to diagnose mental disorders and detect brain anomalies in a person. At present, these estimates are inaccurate for the population that has EEG with low energy in the EEG band. By combining the EEG recording with a stimulus (e.g., light, sound, touch, etc., or a combination), it is possible to determine the IAF, due to the resonant properties of the brain.

Abstract: A method of controlling a motor control apparatus includes selecting one of a first option and a first additional option in a first setting item in response to a first user input via a setting sequence prior to a control-mode-finding sub-process of the setting sequence, the first setting item relating to a motor and including the first option and the first additional option, the first option being different from the first additional option. A first control mode is selected in the control-mode-finding sub-process via the setting sequence based on the first option selected in the first setting item prior to the control-mode-finding sub-process. A second control mode is selected in the control-mode-finding sub-process via the setting sequence based on the first additional option selected in the first setting item prior to the control-mode-finding sub-process. The first control mode is different from the first option and the first additional option.

Abstract: A probe includes a probe head, a probe tip extending from the probe head and having a sensor in fluidic communication with a first fluid stream, a pressure channel extending into the probe tip through the sensor face with a pressure sensor that senses pressure in the pressure channel, and a temperature channel extending into the probe tip through the sensor face. The temperature channel including a temperature orifice disposed on the sensor face and at least one exit port distal from the sensor face. The temperature channel is parallel to and fluidly separate from the pressure channel and includes a temperature sensor that senses temperature in the temperature channel. The temperature channel directs fluid flow from the temperature orifice to the at least one exit port, thereby discharging fluid flow into a second fluid stream.
