Publication number: 20240105078Abstract: A system and method for typing training are disclosed in which a fingerprint recognition system is included. The system recognizes a typist's fingers or fingerprints while the typist types the keys on a keypad such that the system determines which finger has pressed a particular key and can notify the typist when an incorrect finger is used to press a particular key. The system is well suited for tutorial typing where the typist is reinforced to use the correct finger to type each particular key. The system may be implemented using a specially designed keyboard or it may be implemented as an application.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Type A+ LLCInventor: Barbara SCHMIDT

Patent number: 7372579Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring a trench profile of a substrate includes a radiation-emitting unit for irradiating the substrate with infrared radiation. The intensity and/or polarization state of the infrared radiation reflected from the substrate is measured at a multitude of measuring frequencies. An analyzing unit determines the respective reflectance and relative phase change and/or relative amplitude change in relation to the respective measuring frequency. In addition, a reflectance spectrum, a relative phase change spectrum and/or a relative amplitude change spectrum may be obtained. By performing a Fourier transformation of the respective spectrum, a secondary Fourier spectrum is obtained. The secondary Fourier spectrum plots a virtual amplitude against corresponding values of a frequency periodicity that correspond to a substrate depth. Peaks of the virtual amplitude may indicate reflective planes within the substrate at respective depths.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignees: Infineon Technologies, AG, Nanya Technology CorporationInventors: Zhen-Long Chen, Peter Weidner, Pierre-Yves Guittet, Alexander Kasic, Barbara Schmidt, Anita Klee

In vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory effects of a sesquiterpene lactone extract from chicory ( L.)
Patent number: 7226623Abstract: A method of preparing a chicory extract enriched with sesquiterpene lactones is provided. The method includes performing an initial extraction chicory in a polar solvent, such as methanol or ethanol, at ambient temperature to form an alcoholic extract. The alcoholic extract is subsequently defatted with a non-polar solvent, preferably hexane or n-heptane. A second extraction of the defatted alcoholic extract is performed with a solvent which is more polar than the solvent used in the defatting process and less polar than the solvent used in the initial extraction, for example, it can be chosen from the group consisting of ethyl acetate, n-butanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, and mixtures thereof; resulting in a sesquiterpene lactones enriched extract, preferably containing at least 60% sesquiterpene lactones.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Rutgers, The State University of New JerseyInventors: Christophe Ripoll, Barbara Schmidt, Nebojsa Ilic, Ilya Raskin -
