Abstract: An injection compression molding system includes a mold having a fixed first half and a displaceable second half. The second half is initially positioned with a cavity between the mold halves having a first clearance sized to receive a molten material puddle shot injected by an injection molding device without the puddle shot filling the cavity. A displacement device acts during or immediately after puddle shot injection, displacing the second mold half toward the first mold half creating a second clearance less than the first clearance. The second clearance defines a finished part thickness whereby displacement of the second mold half to the second clearance compresses the puddle shot so that the puddle shot fills the cavity and forms a finished part between the mold halves. Total time to inject and compress the puddle shot is less than or equal to 1.0 seconds.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided that minimize the effects of dark-current pulses. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided where a first pixel is struck (i.e., a primary pixel). Pixels struck within a fixed time frame after the primary pixel is struck are referred to as secondary pixels. After a short fixed time frame has expired, the number of primary and secondary pixels is added. If the count exceeds a threshold, the primary pixel was activated by the first (or early) photon from a true gamma event. If the threshold is not met then it is likely the primary pixel generated a dark pulse that should be ignored.

Abstract: A device may receive traffic information associated with traffic flows assigned to a group of quality of service (QoS) treatment levels and travelling via a network device. The device may identify a group of target performance metrics corresponding to the group of QoS treatment levels. The device may determine a group of weight factors based on the traffic information and the group of target performance metrics. The group of weight factors may be determined such that a group of predicted performance metrics is optimized with respect to the group of target performance metrics. The device may output information identifying the group of weight factors to cause a parameter, associated with the network device, to be updated based on the group of weight factors. The parameter may relate to a manner in which the traffic flows are processed by the network device.
