  • Publication number: 20210238715
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an aluminum alloy composition and a manufacturing method thereof. By utilizing the mutually insoluble properties between tantalum and silver and sequentially adding chromium, tantalum and silver to an aluminum master alloy containing copper in plural times of melting, it avoids the eutectic reaction between chromium and silver, and required eutectic compositions are formed. Thus, the aluminum alloy composition with excellent corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, wear resistance and high-temperature resistance is obtained. The aluminum alloy composition comprises 4.2 to 5.5 weight percent copper, 1.4 to 2.0 weight percent magnesium, 0.5 to 1.2 weight percent manganese, 0.05 to 1.0 weight percent silicon, 0.05 to 0.8 weight percent chromium, 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent tantalum, 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent silver and the balance of aluminum.

  • Patent number: 11068927
    Abstract: An example involves determining a missing-audience factor based on first impressions corresponding to first client devices that do not have database proprietor (DP) identifiers for use by a DP to identify subscribers registered with the DP, and based on second impressions corresponding to second client devices that do have the DP identifiers used by the DP to identify subscribers registered with the DP. The first impressions represent accesses to media via the first client devices. The second impressions represent access to the media via the second client devices. The example involves determining a coverage-corrected unique audience (CCUA) size based on the missing-audience factor and a UA size of DP subscribers exposed to the media. The UA size is determined based on impressions logged by the DP. The CCUA size corresponds to impressions logged by the DP and not logged by the DP.

  • Publication number: 20210138119
    Abstract: A biodegradable metal alloy for anchoring detached tissue to hard tissue, a method for making the same and a process for using the same are revealed. The biodegradable metal alloy includes a magnesium-zinc-zirconium (Mg—Zn—Zr) alloy and a magnesium fluoride (MgF2) coating over the Mg—Zn—Zr alloy. The Mg—Zn—Zr alloy is a magnesium alloy containing 2.5-6.0 wt % zinc (Zn) and 0.42-0.80 wt % zirconium (Zr). Thereby the present biodegradable metal alloy not only provides sufficient fixation strength for anchoring detached tissue to hard tissue effectively but also promotes the bone growth and avoids metal/alloy artifacts in images.
