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.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining a unique audience exposed to media while reducing memory resources of a computing device are disclosed herein. Example instructions cause a machine to at least, based on impression requests from a plurality of client devices via a network, log a plurality of impressions corresponding to media accessed at the client devices; obtain a count of demographic impressions logged by a database proprietor; obtain a count of registered users of the database proprietor exposed to the media; and execute a process to determine a unique audience size by multiplying a count of the plurality of impressions by a square of the count of the registered users to generate a product; dividing the product by the count of the demographic impressions to generate a quotient; and determining the unique audience size based on a square root of the quotient.

Abstract: Optomechanical device for frequency doubling enhancement are described. The devices include a substrate through which light of a first wavelength is introduced, a first reflector mirror, a conductive layer disposed on the first reflector mirror, and a second mirror spaced apart from the conductive layer, thereby forming an optical cavity between the second mirror and the conductive layer. The devices also include a power source coupled to the second mirror and the conductive layer and a monolayer of non-linear optical material disposed within the optical cavity, the monolayer being configured to produce light of a second wavelength upon interaction with the light of the first wavelength. The second mirror is deformable upon introduction of voltage from the power source and deformation of the second mirror changes a length of the optical cavity, thereby enhancing a power output of the light of the second wavelength produced by the monolayer.

An example method includes receiving impression requests at a server from a plurality of client devices via a network; based on the impression requests, logging, with the server, a plurality of impressions corresponding to the media accessed at the client devices; obtaining a number of demographic impressions logged by a database proprietor; obtaining a number of registered users of the database proprietor exposed to the media; multiplying, by executing an instruction with a processor, a number of the plurality of impressions by a square of the number of the registered users to generate a product; dividing, by executing an instruction with the processor, the product by a number of the demographic impressions to generate a quotient; and determining, by executing an instruction with the processor, the unique audience based on a square root of the quotient.

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.

Abstract: A gas pressurized separation system strips a product gas from a stream yielding a high pressure gaseous effluent containing the product gas such as may be used to capture CO2 from coal fired post combustion flue gas capture and to purify natural gas, syngas and EOR recycle gas. The system comprises a gas pressurized stripping column allowing flow of one or more raw streams in a first direction and allowing flow of one or more high pressure gas streams in a second direction, to strip the product gas into the high pressure gas stream and yield a high pressure gaseous effluent that contains the product gas. The process can further comprise a final separation process to further purify the product gas from the GPS column. For CO2 product, a preferred energy efficient final separation process, compound compression and refrigeration process, is also introduced.
