Abstract: At times, it may be desirable to determine that a client system is, or to determine the number of client systems that are, presenting particular dynamic content when an auditable event occurs in the dynamic content. One manner of making the determination may include accessing presentation time information that indicates the time(s) at which one or more client systems present particular dynamic content and accessing event time information indicating the time(s) at which one or more auditable events occur in the dynamic particular content. Based on the presentation time information and the event time information, it may be possible to determine that a client system is, or to determine the number of client systems that are, presenting particular dynamic content when an auditable event occurs in the dynamic content.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of scaffolds to enhance the viability of cells implanted in the integumentary system such that the cell may release an agent. The scaffold is capable of protecting the cell, as well as allowing for adequate nutrient delivery at the implant site through vascularisation in and around the scaffold.

Abstract: In order to determine a rheological property of a fluid, the fluid is conveyed with a constant volume flow rate through a nozzle and the fluid strand thereby generated is deposited on a substrate. A relative movement takes place between the nozzle and the substrate at a forward feed velocity value. A contour of the liquid strand between the nozzle and the substrate is optically measured, and an extensional viscosity as a rheological property is deduced from knowledge of the volume flow rate, the forward feed velocity value and the contour of the fluid strand.

Abstract: Water is removed from passages in a subterranean hydrocarbon formation by feeding into the passages a composition comprising 5 to 70 wt. % of alkanol(s) having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and 30 to 95 wt. % dense phase carbon dioxide, under a pressure greater than zero up to 25,000 psig and at a temperature of 0° F. to 200° F., allowing the feed composition to remain in the well, whereby the feed composition solubilizes with said water in said passages, and then removing from said well a liquid product composition comprising said solubilized water and alkanol.

Abstract: A variety of hollow structures with unique morphologies were manufactured with a rotational spinning technique. Phase separation of soluble solutions or emulsions was induced within a filled mold as it was being rotated about one of its axis. The density difference between phases results in sediment at the inner lumen of the mold under centrifugal forces. After or during sedimentation, gelation of the phase-separated particles fixes the hollow structure morphology and the solvent remains in the center of the mold. The solvent is removed from the mold resulting in a coating or tube. By controlling the rotational speed and the formulation chemistry, the tube dimensions and wall morphology can be manipulated. This technique offers a new approach to the manufacture of polymeric tubes. It requires small quantities of starting material, permits multi-layering of tubes, is applicable to diverse polymers and can result in highly diffusive hollow structures while maintaining good mechanical strength.

Abstract: A variety of hollow structures with unique morphologies were manufactured with a rotational spinning technique. Phase separation of soluble solutions was induced within a filled mold as it was being rotated about one of its axis. As phase-separation occurs within this rotating mold, the increase in density of one phase results in sediment at the periphery under centrifugal forces. After or during sedimentation, gelation of the phase-separated particles fixes the tube morphology and the solvent remains in the center of the mold. The solvent is removed from the mold resulting in a tube. By controlling the rotational speed and the formulation chemistry, the tube dimensions and wall morphology can be manipulated.

Abstract: A multiple pole bushbutton rotary switch has axial as well as rotary travel. A first dimple in the back of the rotor of a stem and rotor assembly is rotatable over a desired number of position indicating detents for selective positioning of the rotor. The stem is then pushable on its axis to make a second dimple located on the opposite surface of the rotor travel into a second detent on a substrate and make electrical contact between the rotor and contact within the second detent which is preferably coupled to circuit conductors on the substrate. An embodiment of the pushbutton rotary switch is particularly useful for controlling a plurality of different time-date setting functions of electronic watches with a single switch mechanism.

Abstract: A diaphragm type pushbutton actuator switch with self-contained contacts includes a pop-in head. The main switch body is mountable in a substrate or housing with an opening provided for the head. The head is then press-fittable into the main switch body for retention therein. With the head retained in the main switch body, it is movable therein to make or break electrical contact upon actuation.
