Abstract: A pizza peel features a blade and a handle that are pivotally-connected by a fastening arrangement featuring a knob. The handle may be moved between a storage position and a deployed position and may be locked in the selected position by manipulation of the knob. When the handle is in the stored position, the pizza peel may be easily stored.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing summaries of documents belonging to a class of documents in a classified document collection. A sample set of documents belonging to one or more classes is processed via a machine learning system in order to induce a set of rules associated with the sample set of documents. The vocabulary in the rules are extracted and compared to words, terms or phrases of an incoming document. Any matches between the extracted rules and the words, terms or phrases of the incoming document are used as a summary for the incoming document. By using the method and apparatus, each document does not have to be processed to find most important words and the like in order to provide a summary for that document and then repeating the same process for additional documents.

Abstract: In a centrifugal chamber 9, an elastic rotation shaft 30 and a high-rigidity rotation shaft 34 extend coaxially. When a rotor selected from an angle rotor 17 and a swing rotor 36 which have different sizes and shapes is set in the centrifugal chamber 9, an optimal shaft is connected automatically to the selected rotor. The angle rotor 17 having a low tendency toward mass eccentricity is supported and rotated by the elastic rotation shaft 30 for high-speed rotation. The swing rotor 34 having a high tendency toward mass eccentricity is supported by the high-rigidity shaft 34 for low-speed rotation. Rotation torque is transmitted to the swing rotor 34 from the elastic rotation shaft.

The first polarizing plate is disposed on the c-plate mono-axial compensating film. The second polarizing plate is disposed on the second substrate. A liquid crystal display device according to an embodiment of the present invention has reduced thickness, weight. Further, the liquid crystal display device has increased luminance and broadened viewing angle.

Abstract: An organic electroluminescence device is described and includes a transparent substrate with a first electrode formed on the top surface of the transparent substrate in a predetermined pattern. The first electrode is transparent. An organic layer includes a hole injecting layer, a hole transporting layer, an emitting layer, and an electron transporting layer. They are sequentially stacked on the top surface of the first electrode. A second electrode is formed on the top surface of the organic layer in a predetermined pattern. The distance from the top surface of the hole transporting layer to the bottom surface of the second electrode ranges from about 350 ? to about 450 ? such that the color purity and brightness of blue light is optimized. Accordingly, the organic electroluminescence device increases the color purity and brightness of blue light, thereby providing an image having excellent picture quality.

Abstract: Coal based carbon foams that are produced by the controlled beating of coal particulate in a mold and under a non-oxidizing atmosphere and subsequently graphitized have been found to provide excellent electrode materials for electrochemical cell applications.

Abstract: A thin film transistor array substrate includes a substrate, a gate wire with a gate line and a gate electrode formed on the substrate, a gate insulating layer covering the gate wire, and a semiconductor pattern formed on the gate insulating layer. A data wire is formed on the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor pattern with a data line, and a source electrode and a drain electrode. The data wire bears a multiple-layered structure having a metallic layer and an intermetallic compound layer. A protective layer is formed on the data wire and the semiconductor pattern. A pixel electrode is formed on the protective layer while contacting the drain electrode through a contact hole.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for treating infants, children or adults suffering from pulmonary distress caused by low or insufficient production of surfactant. It is particularly suitable for treating premature infants suffering from Respiratory Distress Syndrome. The method comprises administering a leptin compound to an individual with impaired surfactant production for a time and in an amount sufficient to enhance surfactant production. The method may be used for treatment of any mammal with impaired lung surfactant production.

Abstract: A plasma display panel includes a front glass substrate and a rear glass substrate coupled to each other by a sealing material coated at edges of the front and rear glass substrates, first and second electrodes disposed perpendicular to each other on opposing inner surfaces of the front and rear glass substrates facing each other, a dielectric layer formed on each of the opposing inner surfaces of the front and rear glass substrates to cover the first and second electrodes, partitions formed on an upper surface of the dielectric layer of the rear glass substrate, red, green and blue fluorescent substances coated between the partitions, and a non-light emitting zone filling portion formed by filling a non-light emitting zone existing between the outermost one of the partitions and the sealing material with a material used for one of the partitions.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electron emission source composition for a flat panel display using the same, comprising carbon nanotubes, a vehicle, and an organotitanium or an organometallic compound, and a method of producing the electron emission source composition having improved adherent strength with the substrate and providing stable and uniform electron emitting characteristics.

Abstract: An on-chip logic analysis (OCLA) system captures data processed by a signal processing logic core embedded in a single-chip-device (SOC) without interrupting operations of the signal processing logic core. The OCLA system includes a data capturing unit embedded in the SOC device to monitor the operations of the signal processing unit and determines whether the operations satisfy predetermined trigger conditions. Once the trigger condition is satisfied, the data capturing unit captures internal data from/to the signal processing unit and transfers to an external host system. The host system controls the operations of the data capturing unit. The host system provides the captured data to an user interface for testing and debugging the operations of the SOC signal processing device.

Abstract: In a device encapsulation method, an organic EL device is formed on a substrate. An encapsulation cap is placed on the substrate to surround the device and thereafter an end face of the cap is welded on at least the substrate. A device package is also disclosed.

Abstract: An orthosis device generally includes two limb sections pivotably attached to each other in at least one degree of freedom and adapted for insertion of or attachment to adjacent portions of a limb of a user. Each limb section further includes a four-bar linkage and a spring member adapted to provide an equilibrium-inducing force corresponding to a combined weight of the limb section and the limb inserted therein or attached thereto. The equilibrium-inducing force allows every point in three-dimensional space to be a balanced position, such that a user with muscular abnormalities can move his or her limbs and hold them in place. A pivotable shoulder bracket for attaching the orthosis device to a wheelchair may also be provided. Furthermore, the orthosis device can be adapted to accommodate individuals of varying weight or with varying levels of disability by adjusting the spring member or providing powered actuators and force sensors.

Abstract: A source of viral induced obesity has been discovered. A virus known as AD-36P adenovirus type 36 has been found to be associated with obesity in both animals and humans. Diagnostic DNA sequences are presented so that DNA based tests for the presence of the obesity associated virus can be conducted.
