Abstract: An absorbent article comprising an absorbent member positioned between a topsheet and a backsheet is provided. The absorbent member contains at least one layer that comprises porous superabsorbent particles, wherein the particles exhibit a relative humidity microclimate of about 67% or less after being exposed to an atmosphere having a temperature of about 23° C. and relative humidity of 80% for a time period of 20 minutes.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for configuring automatic playback settings on a media playback device. A graphical user interface displays automatic playback settings and receives selections of customized settings for automatic playback. The settings can include context granularity for automatic playback, limiting autoplay to when the media playback device is connected to a wireless network, and activating an audible notification when automatic playback of media content is beginning. An initial queue of media content is selected for playback on the media playback device. The system ascertains whether autoplay is enabled for a particular situation. If autoplay is enabled, the system automatically generates a queue of media that is related to the initial queue and initiates playback on the media playback device after the initial queue concludes.

Abstract: A System, Method, and Apparatus for Predicting Medical No-Shows and for Scheduling is provided. The system is based on a patient appointment schedule and indicators including office type, practice area, appointment type, engagement with the office leading up to appointment, and a variety of other characteristics of each patient and appointment. The indicators can be selected, weighted proportionately, and input into an algorithm for analysis and processing. The algorithm can then predict the likelihood of a no-show for the respective patient and appointment. The likelihood can then be used for scheduling to minimize the negative impact on the medical professional of the no-show. The algorithm can be used in conjunction with machine learning to improve its accuracy as it informs itself with experience and additional data points. The likelihood of a no-show can be incorporated into scheduling programs and made accessible on mobile devices, computers, and other monitoring devices.

Abstract: A diffraction pattern is averaged with adjacent diffraction patterns to increase a signal to noise ratio thereof and improve indexing accuracy. The pixels of a diffraction pattern image are averaged with a correlated pixel from one or more adjacent diffraction patterns. Noise artifacts are reduced in intensity, while signals present in each of the patterns reinforce one another to produce an averaged diffraction pattern which is then indexed.

Abstract: The present invention includes compositions comprising an alkyne-based substrate, an azide-based substrate, optionally a Cu(II) salt and optionally a photoinducible reducing agent. The present invention further includes a method of preparing composite materials that are suitable for use as dental implants using the compositions of the invention.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for displaying content. A portion of content may be displayed to a user. Personal and community data relating to the portion of content may be displayed alongside the portion of content. The personal and community data may include performance-related data. Furthermore, portions of content may be selectively displayed based on customizable performance thresholds.

Abstract: An analytical method for combining chemical information with crystallographic information to obtain a map of the crystal orientation, the nature of grain boundaries, and distinguishing crystalline phases in a polycrystalline sample, including the steps of providing a sample with a prescribed grid of points thereon, selecting a point, applying a collimated electron beam to the point to obtain an electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) pattern and the elemental composition of the sample at the point. Recording the information and repeating for each point in the grid and determining the crystalline phases in the sample. An instrument capable of performing the method includes an SEM having means for applying an electron beam to a sample, means for obtaining an EBSD pattern (EBSP), and means for determining the composition of the sample, as well as means for recording EBSD band locations and characteristics and the elemental composition of the sample.
