Abstract: Approaches for a service provider to act according to auxiliary information that includes a share statement linked to an image. A user uploads an image to the service provider. The service provider sends the image to a server system that comprises a registry with a plurality of one or more digital identifier keys linked to auxiliary information including at least a share statement. The server system searches in the image for one or more encoded digital identifiers as a function of the one or more digital identifier keys. When the server system identifies a digital identifier in the image, the server system sends at least the share statement of the image to the service provider so that the service provider may act in accordance with the share statement.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for operating and manufacturing optomechanical accelerometers. In some examples, an optomechanical accelerometer device is described that uses a cavity resonant displacement sensor based on a zipper photonic crystal nano-cavity to measure the displacement of an integrated test mass generated by acceleration applied to the chip. The cavity-resonant sensor may be fully integrated on-chip and exhibit an enhanced displacement resolution due to its strong optomechanical coupling. The accelerometer structure may be fabricated in a silicon nitride thin film and constitute a rectangular test mass flexibly suspended on high aspect ratio inorganic nitride nano-tethers under high tensile stress. By increasing the mechanical Q-factors through adjustment of tether width and tether length, the noise-equivalent acceleration (NEA) may be reduced, while maintaining a large operation bandwidth. The mechanical Q-factor may be improved with thinner (e.g., <1 micron) and longer tethers (e.

Abstract: A solid drill bit for machine tools has a drill bit body and two indexable inserts arranged at a radial distance from one another in respective insert seats. The inserts have an essentially quadratic contour. Their front-end main cutting edges project axially beyond the drill bit body and radially overlap one another. The outer insert has an outer insert corner and a secondary cutting edge perpendicular to the main cutting edge that projects radially beyond the circumference of the drill bit body. To permit burr-free through-drilling, the main cutting edge of the outer insert is subdivided in its longitudinal extent into a radially inner working section and a rectilinear peeling section adjoining the working section and extending to the outer insert corner. The sections enclose a setting angle of 95° to 120°. The peeling section is set at a positive setting angle of 72° to 87°.

Abstract: The present application concerns methods and compositions which can be used to detect cancer in mammals, in particular in humans. It notably describes serum markers of cancers and their uses in diagnosis methods. It also concerns tools and/or kits which can be used to implement these methods (reagents, probes, primers, antibodies, chips, cells, etc.), their preparation and their uses. The invention can be used to detect the presence or the progression of a cancer, particularly breast cancer, including at an early stage.

Abstract: A method for refurbishing a surface of a lamp having surface damage includes the steps of removing the lamp from the motor vehicle. An original clear coat finish is removed from the surface of the lamp. The surface of the lamp is evened. Swirls and scratches are grinded out of the surface. The surface is then buffed and cleaned. A replacement clear coat material is sprayed over the surface of the lamp. The replacement clear coat material is then cured.
