  • Publication number: 20210009748
    Abstract: The present invention discloses modified epoxy acrylates and the solder resist containing the epoxy modified acrylates, belonging to the synthetic resin field. In this invention, modified epoxy acrylates are prepared by introducing long fatty hydrocarbon chain as the branched chain into the carboxylated epoxy acrylates. The as-prepared solder resist containing this modified epoxy acrylates maintains the excellent property of photosensitive solder resist such as good adhesion, hardness, solvent resistance and weather resistance which facilities sensitivity and alkaline development during exposure simultaneously. This has led to good water resistance, electrical insulation of the cured products. Furthermore, the cured product also shows good flexibility which improves its application in photosensitive imaging ink materials.

  • Patent number: 10831843
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a solution for optimizing a generating of query search results. A filtering search term (e.g., a search term that is used in a query to perform filtering aggregations of the query search results) is identified. A filtering bitmap that has a plurality of mapped locations corresponding to data values for the filtering search term is created. As a data value in the filtering search term is encountered during a scan of the query search results, the corresponding mapped location is updated. Each mapped location in the filtering bitmap is read to determine whether the value corresponding to the mapped location satisfies the filtering aggregation. The filtering aggregation can then be performed (e.g., prior to any grouping aggregation) by removing any of the query search results determined, based on the filtering bitmap, as having data values for which the filtering aggregation is not satisfied.

  • Patent number: 10776401
    Abstract: Provided herein are techniques for processing a database query aggregating data. Data tuples of a database object each including a grouping element and a data element are analyzed to determine a length of the data element for each data tuple. A plurality of tables each accommodate a successively greater length for the data element. A corresponding table of the plurality of tables to store each data tuple is determined based on the length of the data element of that data tuple relative to the accommodated lengths of the plurality of tables. Each data tuple in the determined corresponding table is stored to group the data tuples within each of the plurality of tables based on the grouping element, and an indication of corresponding tables containing members for each group is provided. The groups are combined across the plurality of tables to aggregate the data tuples for a database query.

  • Publication number: 20200281865
    Abstract: The invention discloses a preparation method of pH/reduction responsive polyamino acid zwitterionic nanoparticles, which belongs to the technical field of polymer synthesis and biomedical materials. In the invention aliphatic amines are used to initiate ring-opening polymerization of ?-benzyl-L-glutamate-N-carboxylic anhydride, and the obtained poly(?-benzyl-L-glutamate) reacts with L-lysine to form azwitterionic polymer. The zwitterionic polymer is crosslinked by cysteamine, producing pH/reduction responsive polyamino acid zwitterionic nanoparticles after purification. The nanoparticles are pH responsive and resistant to non-specific protein adsorption. Because cysteamine contains disulfide bonds, the nanoparticles have sensitive reductive responsiveness and can load anticancer drugs for controlled release at the target site of cancer.

  • Patent number: 10628279
    Abstract: To manage memory in a multi-processing system, a memory budget is assigned to each of a number of agents within the multi-processing system. A portion of memory is allocated to each the agents within the memory budget. Metrics are collected for each agent during processing of data by the agents; the metrics include an amount of data processed and an amount of memory used for each agent. Memory efficiency is determined for each agent based on the collected metrics and another memory budget is determined based on the memory efficiency. The portion of the memory is reallocated to the agents within the other memory budget in response to data stored in the memory relative to the assigned memory budget meeting a criterion.
