Abstract: An automatic locking system includes a magnetic sensor and a magnet. The magnetic sensor sends a signal if the proximity to the magnet equals or is less than a predetermined distance. A controller drives a motor to extend a throw bolt in response to receiving the signal from the magnetic sensor. An electronic deadbolt includes the automatic locking system. The magnetic sensor is arranged in a deadbolt assembly inside the door on which the electronic deadbolt is arranged, and the magnet is arranged in or adjacent to a strike lining box on the door frame so the automatic locking system is hidden from view. An electronic deadbolt includes a master function that may be activated or deactivated by a user. If the master function is activated, a master passcode and master tag may be used to operate the electronic deadbolt and access programming buttons.

Abstract: One or more features of multiple patterned layers formed on a semiconductor are determined by obtaining a first measured diffraction signal measured from a first patterned layer before a second patterned layer is formed on top of the first patterned layer. One or more features of the first patterned layer are determined using the first measured diffraction signal. Values of one or more profile parameters of a hypothetical profile of the second patterned layer in combination with the first patterned layer are fixed. A second measured diffraction signal measured from the second patterned layer after the second patterned layer has been formed on top of the first patterned layer is obtained. One or more features of the second patterned layer are determined based on the second measured diffraction signal and the fixed values of the one or more profile parameters.

Abstract: A method, program product and system for organizing and disseminating information on products featured in entertainment productions. The invention includes a database for storing a catalogue of product information on products featured in entertainment productions. A server is programmed to perform the steps of: authorizing access to the user, accepting a search request from the user, querying the database based on said search request, displaying the products identified from the catalogue on a display screen of a user computer using visual indicators related to entertainment productions, receiving a product selection from said user, and displaying detailed product information on a display screen of a user computer based on the product selection.

Abstract: A dental X-ray image sensor provided with a cross mark that is opaque to radio waves on the corner of a digital radiography sensor surface renders a computer program to recognize true dimension and to rescale any distortion due to angulational position error in a conventional X-ray digital radiograph system.

Abstract: Biodegradable polymeric compositions are provided, wherein biodegradable polyphosphazenes are combined with at least one other polymer, either in the form of a blend, a semi-interpenetrating network (semi-IPN), or an interpenetrating network IPN. The side groups and composition of the polyphosphazenes are used to determine the properties of the compositions, for example, the rate and extent of degradation, and mechanical properties. These are useful in biomedical applications, including controlled drug delivery and tissue regeneration, and environmental applications. In the most preferred embodiment, as demonstrated by the examples, the polyphosphazenes contain hydrophobic side groups, such as p-methylphenoxy and other aromatic groups, and groups which impart hydrolytic instability, such as amino acid alkyl esters, and degrade by surface erosion. A preferred example is ethyl glycinato-substituted polyphosphazene (PPHOS) with p-methylphenoxy as co-substituent.
