摘要:
Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a method, which can comprise controlling illumination of a set of illumination sources. The set of illumination sources can comprise a first subset of illumination sources and a second subset of illumination sources. Light from the set of illumination sources can be adapted to pass through a diffuser comprising a first zone and a second zone. The first zone can be physically and/or optically segregated from the second zone.
摘要:
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide and/or utilize a system comprising a first sheet formed of a light-diffusing material, said first sheet defining a pair of opposing faces and two pairs of opposing edges, said first sheet adapted to provide a substantially uniform illumination from at least one of said faces when light is transmitted into any of said edges; a first reflective layer adapted to reflect light toward a second face of said pair of faces; a second sheet formed of a light diffusing material; and a first light source adapted to transmit light into a first edge of said edges.

The present invention provides a series of new and improved compounds/materials as vehicles to delivery degradative enzymes to remove/remedy environmental pollutants. The inventive material comprises a series of amide-functionalized ordered mesoporous carbon (AFOMC), which utilizes chemical conjugation techniques for the tethering of enzymes to the surface of the synthesized AFOMC. The delivery mechanism may be utilized to express a wide variety of toxin-degrading enzymes for removal/remediation of organic pollutants.

The present disclosure features methods and systems for enforcing parametric constraints in a direct modeling interface in computer-aided design (CAD). A parametric geometry engine of a CAD application may compare an attempted edit to a feature in a direct modeling user interface of the CAD application to an existing constraint created in a parametric modeling user interface, and, in one embodiment, prevent the user from completing the edit. In other embodiments, the parametric geometry engine may present a dialog box to the user and allow them to reject the edit, override or delete the constraint, modify the constraint, or take other actions as appropriate. In still other embodiments, the parametric geometry engine may allow one user to edit the feature, but not another user. Thus, parametric constraints and permissions-based ownership of entities may be enforced in a direct modeling user interface.

Disclosed is a composition and process of manufacture of a stir-in form of pigment with increased dispersing and color properties. Pigment is slurried with acetylenic dispersing agents, wet-milled to a particular particle size, and then dried to powder or granulate form. Also disclosed is a process for producing a pigmented paint composition from the stir-in pigment.

Phthalocyanine pigments having 0-4 chlorine atoms have a narrow particle-size range with 90% of particles between about 0.01-0.10 μm, the average particle size of no more than about 0.5 μm, a D99 of no more than about 0.3 μm, and a polydispersity of about 2.0 or less. Pigment compositions contain the phthalocyanine pigment and water-based dispersing resin. The pigments and the compositions are compatible with waterborne coating systems, exhibit an excellent metallic down travel, and are especially useful for the automotive painting applications.

A single ducted valve assembly provides an integrated cryopump valve having a purge valve port connecting the assembly to a cryopump with a coaxial connection having an inner duct and an outer duct. A pressurized gas interface connects a pressurized gas source to the cryopump through the inner duct. A rough valve port can connect the outer duct of the assembly to a rough vacuum pump; and a relief valve port can connect the outer duct of the assembly to an exhaust stack.

The flag caddy of the present invention is useful for safely storing multiple flags and a flag pole and includes a rectangular housing with a door that allows a user to hang multiple flags on horizontal flag rods rotatably positioned within the housing. The flag rods rotate horizontally to allow the safe placement of a flag while several other flags are hanging on similar flag rods. A flag pole storage sleeve is also included and allows the safe storage of a detached flag pole. A hanger or hook attached to the top portion of the housing allows the flag caddy to be stored in a closet or in the garage to protect multiple flags from damage, destruction, dirt and wrinkles.
