Abstract: A cover for use with an electronic cigarette assembly is provided. The cover includes a sheet defining at least one cutout that generally corresponds in size to a push button of the electronic cigarette assembly, and an adhesive layer applied to one side of the sheet for adhering the sheet to the cover. A related method of applying the cover to an electronic cigarette assembly is also provided.

Abstract: A carbonaceous material is derived from a polysaccharide by carbonization. The polysaccharide is preferably a starch. The carbonaceous material has mesoporosity and is useful as a solid catalytic support.

Abstract: We describe improved techniques for airborne gravity gradiometer surveys. In particular we describe a method and system for performing a gravity gradiometer survey of a surveyed region of terrain, the method comprising: providing an aircraft with a gravity gradiometer; flying said aircraft over said terrain at a speed of at least 100 m/s and at an average height above said terrain of above said terrain of at least 300 m; and collecting gravity gradient data for said surveyed region of terrain from said gravity gradiometer, said gravity gradient data comprising data for at least one component of the gravity gradient tensor.

Abstract: A mesoporous material is derived from a polysaccharide by thermally assisted partial carbonisation after expansion. The polysaccharide is an acid containing polysaccharide or mixture of polysaccharides.

Abstract: End caps and end cap and end plate assemblies for use with a cage or mesh, for use in surgical vertebral fusion procedures are described. A first end cap comprises an annular body and a projection extending from an outer side wall of the body to limit the travel of the end cap into the cage. At least a first and a second flexible member extend from an under side of the body. Each flexible member has a grip on an outer facing surface to retain the end cap on the end of the cage. A second end cap comprises an annular body having an uppermost surface, a projection extending from an outer side wall of the body and a formation adapted to mate with a formation in an end plate, the end plate having a vertebra engaging surface, such that the outermost surface of the body is flush with the vertebra engaging surface of the end plate. When inserted in an end of the cage in use, the projection engages an edge of the cage in more than one location to limit the travel of the end cap into the cage.

Abstract: A method for realization of an integrated circuit design including the steps of (i) receiving one or more design platform descriptions and (ii) merging the one or more design platform descriptions into one or more layers of a design flow. The one or more design platform descriptions provide design information about one or more platforms capable of instantiating the integrated circuit design.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of synchronizing hotspot link information with non-proprietary streaming video. The present invention can be used with any standard video file without modification and can be used with any standard streaming video playback application. The present invention uses a hotspot applet that is downloaded and stored in the web browser's cache to read a separate hotspot data file that is also downloaded and stored in the web browser's cache. The hotspot applet then synchronizes the hotspot data with the standard non-proprietary streaming video file. This creates a hotspot array of x-horizontal and y-vertical coordinates synchronized with the t-temporal component of the playback time for the streaming video file.
