  • Publication number: 20240084086
    Abstract: A polymeric blend contains a polyether block amide and a thermoplastic polymer, where the polyether block amide is based on a subunit 1 and a subunit 2. Subunit 1 is composed of at least one linear aliphatic diamine containing 5 to 15 carbon atoms and at least one linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid containing 6 to 16 carbon atoms. Subunit 2 is composed of at least one polyether diol containing at least 3 carbon atoms per ether oxygen and primary OH groups at the chain ends. The sum total of the carbon atoms from diamine and dicarboxylic acid is an odd number and is 19 or 21 carbon atoms. The number-average molar mass of the subunit 2 is 200 to 900 g/mol. The thermoplastic polymer is selected from an ethylene/vinylene acetate, a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, a polyolefin elastomer, thermoplastic polyurethane, or any mixture thereof.

  • Patent number: 11797418
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for the automatic creation of trace data. A trace generation service generates a trace identifier that will be utilized by a plurality of network services. Individual network services generate log data corresponding to execution of the network-based service. Individual log event in the log data includes information associated with a trace identifier generated by a network-based service during execution of the service. The trace generation service processes the log data based on trace identifiers to identify individual trace span associated with the generated unique trace identifier. The trace generation service constructs trace data associated with the generated unique trace identifier based on the identified trace span data.

  • Patent number: 11555783
    Abstract: A method for detecting deposited particles (P) on a surface (11) of an object (3, 14) includes: irradiating a partial region of the surface (11) of the object (3, 14) with measurement radiation; detecting measurement radiation scattered on the irradiated partial region, and detecting particles in the partial region of the surface of the object (3, 14) based on the detected measurement radiation. In the steps of irradiating and detecting, the surface (11) of the object (3, 14) has an anti-reflective coating (13) and/or a surface structure (15) for reducing the reflectivity of the surface (11) for the measurement radiation (9), wherein the particle detection limit is lowered due to the anti-reflective coating (13) and/or the surface structure (15). Also disclosed are a wafer (3) and a mask blank for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 11361600
    Abstract: A method for authenticating at least one diagnostic trouble code (DTC) generated by a motor vehicle system of a vehicle. The method generates a DTC by a fault detection algorithm, stores the DTC in a volatile fault memory, generates an identity marker denoting the fault detection algorithm at the time of generation of the DTC, stores the identity marker in NVM, stores the DTC in the NVM when an ignition-off request signal is present, loads the DTC from the NVM into the volatile memory when an ignition-on request signal is present, and authenticates the DTC by the authentication data record by, initially by determining the fault detection algorithm by which the fault event was detected, subsequently this fault detection algorithm being compared with the fault detection algorithm indicated by the identity marker, and an absence of concordance resulting in a manipulation of the DTC being indicated.
