Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for sequential insertion processing of speech recognition results and, more particularly, server-based automated processing of speech recognition results. In addition, the use of formed document templates to facilitate the server-based automated sequential insertion of speech recognition results is disclosed. The formed document templates can include embedded dictionaries with related processing rules, including processing rules including positioning information.

Abstract: The present invention includes compositions and methods for treating a hydrocarbon-bearing formation having brine and at least one temperature, wherein the brine has at least one first composition by obtaining first compatibility information for a first model brine and a first treatment composition at a model temperature, wherein the first model brine has a composition selected at least partially based on the first brine composition, wherein the model temperature is selected at least partially based on the formation temperature, and wherein the first treatment composition comprises at least one first surfactant and at least one first solvent; based at least partially on the first compatibility information, selecting a treatment method for the hydrocarbon-bearing formation, and treating the hydrocarbon-bearing formation with the selected treatment method.

Abstract: Imidazoquinoline and tetrahydroimidazoquinoline compounds that contain urea, thiourea, acylurea, or sulfonylurea functionality at the 1-position are useful as immune response modifiers. The compounds and compositions of the invention can induce the biosynthesis of various cytokines and are useful in the treatment of a variety of conditions including viral diseases and neoplastic diseases.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are backplane interconnect systems that use surface mount technology for mating conductive pins in a header connector to surface mount pads on a printed circuit board. In particular, the interconnect system uses a plurality of conductive pins that are not fully inserted into the body of the header connector, thus allowing them to move during mating with a printed circuit board. In this way, the interconnect system exhibits self-leveling characteristics.

Abstract: The invention provides azeotrope-like compositions consisting essentially of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane and a fluorinated ketone, RfC(O)CF(CF3)2, where Rf is CF3CF2, CF3CF2CF2, or (CF3)2CF.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the thickness of a coating on a coated surface. The method uses a solid state array of light-sensitive elements to measure light emitted from a fluorescing coating composition. The intensity of the emitted light corresponds to the thickness of the coating composition, and provides a fast and accurate measure of coating thickness.

Abstract: A lens film is used in filtering visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light. The lens film has one or more metallized layers stacked together. Each metallized layer has a substrate with a metal coating covering one face of the substrate. One or more protecting layers are disposed over the stack of metallized layers to provide protection film. The lens film also has an ultraviolet absorbing material, such as an ultraviolet absorbing binder or substrate material. The lens film can be configured so that it meets the American National Standards Institute's shade standards for protection from harmful or intense light. The lens film can be mounted on a lens of an eye protection device. One method of mounting the lens is to provide an adhesive layer over a portion of the lens film and then binding the lens film to the lens with the adhesive layer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for tentering nonwoven webs during annealing. The nonwoven web of thermoplastic fibers is restrained on a tentering structure at a plurality of tentering points distributed across an interior portion of the web, rather than just along its edges. The nonwoven web is annealed while restrained on the tentering structure to form a dimensionally stable nonwoven fibrous web, dimensionally stable up to at least the heatsetting temperature. The annealed nonwoven fibrous web is then removed from the tentering structure. In one embodiment, the tentering structure restrains the nonwoven fibrous web in a non-planar configuration during the annealing process. The tentering structure includes a plurality of tentering points projecting distally from a tentering support. The tentering points are positioned to be engaged with an interior portion of the web, thus restraining the web during annealing.
