Abstract: Mineral-filled polymer compositions and methods of forming such polymer compositions into a thermally stable article are provided. Methods of forming a polymeric article include providing a polymer composition comprising a crystallizable polymer, a mineral filler in an amount of more than about 15 wt-% based on the total weight of the polymer composition, and an impact modifier, wherein the polymer composition is at a temperature less than a crystallization temperature of the crystallizable polymer. The methods further include disposing the polymer composition in a mold, forming the polymer composition into an article within the mold, and releasing the article from the mold. The methods can include thermoforming the polymer composition in a mold, or injection molding the polymer composition in a molten form in a mold.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for role based authorization. Included is a plurality of resources and roles associated with an authorization domain. In use, access to the resources is controlled utilizing expressions that operate as a function of the roles and the resources.

Abstract: A method for inspecting mask defects comprises a step of providing an image including a simulated mask pattern, at least one simulated defect and a simulated die array (or a simulated cell array), which are superimposed together, and a step of inspecting the location of the simulate defect on the simulated die array (or on the simulated cell array) and on the simulated mask pattern such that an inspector can identify the exact location of a physical defect on a physical die array of a wafer (or on a cell array or a photoelectronic substrate) and further on a physical mask pattern transferred on the die array (or on the cell array).

Abstract: An electronic device includes a shell, a detecting unit and a touching unit. In this case, the shell has at least one opening. The detecting unit is disposed in the shell and below the opening. The touching unit has a first portion and a second portion. The touching unit covers the opening. The first portion faces to the detecting unit. The second portion is disposed around the first portion and is connected to the shell.

Abstract: A screw nut assembly of a linear actuation device, having a screw, a main screw nut and a safety screw nut is disclosed. The main screw nut and the safety screw nut engaged with the screw are operative to displace linearly along an axis of the screw. The safety screw nut includes an exterior surface and the main screw nut includes a receiving portion for receiving the safety screw nut therein. The receiving portion includes an interior surface recessed with at least one slot and a spring disposed within the slot, such that the safety screw nut is inserted into the receiving portion by a resilient force exerted by the spring.

Abstract: A process for forming and trimming a part comprises providing a continuous web of polymeric material, thermoforming the continuous web of polymeric material into the desired part, providing a cutter arrangement comprising a blade, providing a platen assembly comprising a closed groove that generally corresponds to the outer shape of the blade and a vacuum system, wherein at least one of the cutter arrangement and the platen assembly is moveable with respect to the at least one other assembly, trimming the part of the continuous web of polymeric material from the remainder of the continuous web of polymeric material via the blade, and removing undesirable trim material formed during the trimming of the part via the vacuum system.
