Abstract: Described herein are techniques for automatically substituting information into orders generated by a data record system prior to persisting the orders in storage of the data record system. The techniques store substitution groups of data entities that store data associated with respective substances (e.g., medications). When order templates (e.g., medication regiments) are generated by the data record system, the techniques automatically modify the order templates (e.g., by substituting data entities in the orders) based on data entity substitution configurations of the substitution groups. Information from the modified order templates is input into orders before the orders are persisted in storage of the data record system.

Abstract: A unitary, tamper-evident closure for use on the threaded neck of a container includes a molded plastic closure body having a series of internal threads, an annular, tamper-evident band constructed and arranged out of a suitable plastic for being ultrasonically welded to a portion of the container, a plurality of frangible elements constructed and arranged out of a suitable plastic for connecting the tamper-evident band to the closure body at a plurality of spaced-apart locations, and wherein the tamper-evident band is free of any undercut beads and the sole structural connection of the tamper-evident band to the container is by means of ultrasonic welding.

Abstract: A substrate coated with a deposited composite comprising uniformly dispersed hard martial particles in a glassceramic matrix. The deposited bulk composite may comprise uniformly dispersed hard material particles in a glassceramic matrix or hard material particles uniformly dispersed in a glassceramic matrix in a ratio of at least 20% by weight of glassceramic particles and at least 20% by weight of hard material; said mixture having a Vickers hardness of more than 2000 and up to 3000 kg/mm2 and demonstrates an extreme toughness, abrasive and wear resistance, high chemical inertness and a high cutting capability properties.

Abstract: An improved method for depositing ferroelectric particles on a surface of a substrate to form films or stand-alone bodies. The improvement is based on electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of ferroelectric films by using a tri-functional phosphate ester additive having a concentration less than 10 volume percent in the EPD suspension, without the need for addition of a binder. The method includes preparation of the suspension by washing and dispersing ferroelectric particles, for example, commercially available PZT powder, in a polar solvent such as ethanol, followed by addition of the phosphate ester additive to the suspension, and an ultrasound treatment. The suspension is used in EPD of the ferroelectric particles on a prepared substrate. Following EPD, the green film is dried and sintered at high temperature.

Abstract: A method of depositing diamond particles on a surface of a substrate is provided. The method is effected by (a) charging the diamond particles by a positive charge to obtain positively charged diamond particles; and (b) electrophoretically depositing the positively charged diamond particles on the surface of the substrate, for obtaining a green diamond particles coat on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of electrophoretic deposition of a ceramic green body. A ceramic powder is optionally washed with a polar solvent such as deionized water, dried, and suspended in a polar organic solvent in a proportion of at least 20% by weight. A positive surface charge is imposed on the suspended particles by conventional means such as ball milling or ultrasonic treatment. A green body is deposited on a cathode by passing a direct electric current of constant current density through the suspension. The density of the green body generally is at least 70% of theoretical. The density of the fired body generally is at least 98% of theoretical. A layered green body may be deposited by using several suspensions of differing global ceramic composition and depositing each microlayer in a different suspension.
