  • Patent number: 8166389
    Abstract: A method for storing customized attributes in a clinical document architecture (CDA) document to provide searching functionality in a clinical environment includes retrieving, from a clinical database, attributes to be attached to a document in accordance with scripted instructions received from a user. The method further includes concatenating the retrieved attributes in accordance with the scripted instructions to create a customized, derived attribute, storing the customized, derived attribute in the document, and sending the document with the customized, derived attribute to the clinical database for storage.

  • Publication number: 20090272290
    Abstract: This invention relates to a printing ink for use in ink-jet printing which is cured using ultraviolet radiation. The ink-jet ink has a viscosity of less than 100 mPas at 25° C. and comprises the following components: 20 to 70% by weight of at least one epoxy functional monomer, 2 to 70% by weight of at least one oxetane functional monomer, 0.5 to 40% by weight of at least one hydroxy-containing compound, 0 to 40% by weight of at least one allyl and/or vinyl ether monomer, at least one cationic photoinitiator, and at least one colouring agent, the ink. The ink jet ink formulation provides a balance of the properties of the ink, namely viscosity, flexibility and cure speed.

  • Publication number: 20090169764
    Abstract: This invention relates to an ink-jet printing method using a cationic ink-jet cured by low-intensity actinic radiation. The method comprises printing an ink-jet ink comprising at least one cationically polymerisable monomer, oligomer and/or prepolymer and at least one cationic photoinitiator on to a substrate using an ink-jet printer. The substrate has a surface pH of less than 7.0 and the ink is cured using low-intensity actinic radiation typically providing a dose energy at the surface of the substrate of no more than 150 mJ/cm2.

  • Patent number: 7457786
    Abstract: The performance of optimization algorithms operating with compute-intensive fitness functions is enhanced by constraining time-intensive fitness evaluations for candidate solutions that show low likelihood of being fit at early stages of the fitness evaluation. By prematurely discarding alternatives that could be potentially optimal upon complete fitness evaluation but with low likelihood, the running time of the overall optimization process is advantageously reduced substantially, thereby trading off time complexity for search fidelity.

  • Publication number: 20050046064
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making a consolidated cellulosic article. A cellulosic mat is provided. A latex-free, foamed sealer comprising a thermosetting resin is applied to the mat. The foam covered mat is then positioned between upper and lower platens of a press. The foam covered cellulosic mat is compressed between the upper and lower platens using heat and pressure. The foam sealer is de-foaming during compression, forming a consolidated article having a sealer coat. The present invention also relates to a door having at least one door facing with the sealer coat.

  • Publication number: 20040234803
    Abstract: Multi-fiber composites consist of a combinant structure of cellulosic wood and/or non-wood or polymeric fibers which are mixed with non-fibrous materials and/or waste materials and processed to form Pseudo-Fiber™ natural fibers. They offer economic and environmental efficiencies to wood, non-wood papermaking, polymeric and other composite operations, including construction composites as in the making of concrete, etc. They also provide useful, multivarious functional fiber properties necessary or desired in the manufacture of, but not limited to, automotive, construction, disposable cups, packaging, food and non-food packaging; disposable hygiene products of diapers, feminine care, incontinence; disposable medical products of wound dressings, surgical gowns and drapes; personal care and filtration products.
