Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method that combines two different hologram origination processes in a single photoresist layer by using an interlayer to transfer structures exposed by electron beam lithography into overlapped with dot-matrix hologram areas, and fabricated holographic structures are replicated in multilayer polymer films. Dot-matrix technique is low cost process, which has high origination speed and can be used for the patterning of large areas of holograms with high diffraction efficiency. Electron beam lithography allows the formation of high resolution structures. The method allows combining these two technologies so that the final security device could contain electron beam patterned high resolution diffraction gratings, computer generated holograms, as well as dot-matrix laser patterned large hologram areas with high diffraction efficiency, providing an increased level of protection.

Abstract: The following teachings are of a portable autonomous device and method operating independently of aircraft flight control equipment. The device can be easily moved from one aircraft to another. The device measures the acceleration of the aircraft from the instantaneous speed and the runway distance covered from the start of the acceleration. Once the runway length and take-off speed is input, the device calculates the remaining distance to safely reach the take-off speed. If the remaining runway distance is not enough for the safe take-off, the device provides visual or audible information about the situation and signals to the pilot. In other embodiments, the determination and presentation of the remaining runway length may be implemented in the aircraft flight control equipment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and a method to analyze spectrophotometry and ultrasound images and data in a complex way to diagnose malignant skin tumors in early stages. The system consists of a high-frequency portable ultrasonic imaging device for in vivo skin examinations, an optical spectrophotometer with light sources of different wavelengths for skin chromophore registration, and a complex data processing algorithm providing an advisory diagnostic evaluation. This enables automatically aggregating data and quantitative estimates obtained by different imaging techniques for melanocyte-derived skin tumors, facilitating the decision support for acceptance of the final clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.

Abstract: The present invention addresses uniformly formed layers on TCOs with minimized thickness which are hole transporting, due to a hole transport material which is configured for self assembly on the corresponding surface. The layers are formed by a compound made up of at least one kind of molecule according to formula (I) mixed up with a filler molecule FM given by where L is a linking fragment, A an anchor group and HTF is a hole transporting fragment. FM (filler molecule) is at least one kind of molecule consisting of an anchoring group, an alkyl chain of N carbon atoms, with N is in the range of 1 to 18, and a functional group of at least on of the group methyl, halogen, amino, bromide, ammonium and sulfuric functional group and where x is in the range of 0.02 to 1 and y equals (1-x).

Abstract: Microbiologically safe and healthy drinking water is prepared from raw water by clarifying and disinfecting it with reactive oxygen derivatives and silver ions. Initially, the water is treated with ozone until a suitable concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/l of ozone in the water is reached, after that the required amount of silver cations disinfectant solution is supplied into the water so that the silver concentration is 0.02-0.1 mg/l. A stable and safe silver disinfectant solution is used without the use of electrolysis equipment. The solution is stabilized with alkaline earth and/or alkali metal cations, which positively complement the overall intake of minerals. By using such a method, the water stored in the open is protected from secondary microbial contamination for a long time, particularly, longer than 3 months.

Abstract: A method and system of predicting a hypotensive episode in a patient using one or more time varying hypotension specific biomarkers corresponding to physiological processes in the patient. Data derived from sensors or other measurement devices such as ECG sensors can be used to generate biomarkers. The biomarkers can then be used to generate an acute hypotension prediction classifier, or monitored factor, derived from a three dimensional temporal representation of two or more biomarkers. When the monitored factor exceeds a predetermined threshold the method and system trigger an alarm before an appearance of a hypotensive episode in the patient.
