Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing PET based on titanium catalyst having acceptable properties for resin used in the production of bottles for beverages. More particularly the invention relates to a process in which the incoming pre-polymer temperature is higher than the final outlet temperature in the final melt phase polycondensation reactor.

Abstract: Peptides have been discovered which are capable of binding to and internalizing with the human transferrin receptor (hTfR). The sequences HAIYPRH (Seq. ID No. 1) and THRPPMWSPVWP (Seq. ID No. 2) are capable of binding to and internalizing with the human transferrin receptor. When these molecules were fused with other molecules, the fusion product was internalized in cells expressing hTfR. The sequences have use for targeting other peptides and proteins into cells expressing hTfR.

Abstract: A method, system and program of providing a native code library from a server to an application written in an interpreted programming language for execution on a remote computer are provided. An installer object is invoked from within a main class of the interpreted programming language application. The install object extracts a file list from the server including at least one native code library filename indicating a native code library. The native code library indicated by the native code library filename is installed to a target directory on the remote computer and the main class of the interpreted programming language application is then invoked on the remote computer. Additional native code library dependencies are also installed to the target directory on the remote computer.

Abstract: A method, system and program of executing an interpreted programming language application from a server at a designated virtual machine on a client computer are provided. A manifest file is extracted which indicates at least one resource for the interpreted programming language application as well as the repository file associated with the resource. The repository file is located in a web start cache and moved to a run directory accessible by the designated virtual machine, outside the web start cache. The interpreted programming language application is then executed from the run directory using the at least one resource.

Abstract: A method of operating a wireless access point having a configurable antenna system includes determining a transmission signal quality metric for a first station with the configurable antenna system in a first configuration, determining a transmission signal quality metric for a second station with the configurable antenna system in the first configuration, determining a transmission signal quality metric for a first station with the configurable antenna system in a second configuration, determining a transmission signal quality metric for a second station with the configurable antenna system in the second configuration, determining a viable set of antenna configurations for which the signal quality metric of each of the stations meets a minimum criteria and configuring the configurable antenna system to a configuration in the viable set when the wireless access point is not transmitting.

Abstract: A process for determining the tension in a moving web is provided. The process includes the step of providing a web that is moving at a determined speed. The speed has a determined basis weight. A wave is created in the moving web. The speed of the propagation of the wave is determined. Also, the tension on the moving web is determined through a mathematical relationship between the wave speed, the basis weight of the web, and the speed of the web. The instability index of the web is greater than or equal to 0.5.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of heat-stable, antimony-free polyesters of neutral color and the products which can be prepared by this process A process for the preparation of heat-stable, antimony-free polyesters of neutral color by esterification of aromatic dicarboxylic acids or transesterification of lower aliphatic esters of aromatic dicarboxylic acids with aliphatic diols and subsequent polycondensation in which a possible transesterification is carried out in the presence of 20 to 120 ppm, based on the catalyst metal, of a transesterification catalyst, after the esterification or transesterification has ended, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid and/or phosphonic acids or a derivative thereof are added to the esterification or transesterification batch as a completing agent in an amount which is 100% of the amount equivalent to the transesterification catalyst employed and up to 99% of the amount equivalent to the cobalt to be employed, up to 80 ppm of cobalt in the form of a cobalt compound are then adde

Abstract: A device and method for comparing and correlating two or more portions of similar or disparate test data allows a doctor or technician to easily diagnose and/or treat a condition or defect. A device or method embodying the invention can be used for diagnosing vision disorders by correlating visual sensitivity or acuity data to images or data corresponding to biological structures responsible for vision. Such a method allows a doctor to easily identify defects or conditions of a biological structure that causes a loss of vision. In one embodiment of the invention, optical sensitivity data and biological structure data may be stored in multiple data layers, and the data layers can be compared to one another to identify pattern matches between data layers. Similar methods can be used to compare and correlate any two or more types of similar or disparate types of test data. Also, combined presentations of two portions of data can be used to selectively apply treatment to a target tissue.

Abstract: A device and method for comparing and correlating two or more disparate types of test data allows a doctor or technician to easily diagnose a condition or defect. A device or method embodying the invention can be used for diagnosing vision disorders by correlating visual sensitivity or acuity data to images or data corresponding to biological structures responsible for vision. Such a method allows a doctor to easily identify defects or conditions of a biological structure that causes a loss of vision. For instance, perimetry data which is indicative of visual sensitivity may be superimposed onto a fundus image of an eye to create a combined presentation of the data. In the combined presentation, the perimetry data overlies corresponding physical structures shown in the fundus image that give rise to the indicated optical sensitivities. The biological structure data may include an image of an eye, or an image of an optic nerve or a portion a brain responsible for processing optical data.
