Abstract:
A method of manufacturing at least a portion of a printed circuit board. The method includes: applying a lamination adhesive on a first plural-layer substrate that includes a plurality of circuit layers with at least one first metal pad on a first side of the first plural-layer substrate; applying a protective film on the lamination adhesive; forming at least one via into the lamination adhesive to expose the at least one metal pad on the first side of the first plural-layer substrate; filling at least one conductive paste into the at least one via formed in the lamination adhesive; removing the protective film to expose the lamination adhesive on the first plural-layer substrate; and attaching the first plural-layer substrate with a second plural-layer substrate that includes a plurality of circuit layers with at least one second metal pad on a second side of the second plural-layer substrate.
Abstract:
A method of allocating resources in a grid computing environment is provided. The method includes allocating resources for concurrently executing a batch job and an interactive session.
Abstract:
A method and system for description of synthetic audiovisual content makes it easier for humans, software components or devices to identify, manage, categorize, search, browse and retrieve such content. For instance, a user may wish to search for specific synthetic audiovisual objects in digital libraries, Internet web sites or broadcast media; such a search is enabled by the invention. Key characteristics of synthetic audiovisual content itself such as the underlying 2d or 3d models and parameters for animation of these models are used to describe it. More precisely, to represent features of synthetic audiovisual content, depending on the description scheme to be used, a number of descriptors are selected and assigned values. The description scheme instantiated with descriptor values is used to generate the description, which is then stored for actual use during query/search. Typically, a user, to search for a needed synthetic audiovisual content initiates a query that is passed on to a search engine that then retrieves the candidate content from one or more databases whose description closely matches the query criteria specified by the user.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel temperature promoters and set of expression vectors isolated from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The vectors so developed can be used for regulated expression of proteins, both homologous and heterologous, very efficiently and economically.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to the discovery of a new class of androgen receptor modulators. Other aspects of the invention are directed to the use of these compounds to decrease sebum secretion and to stimulate hair growth.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to improved fermentation processes for the preparation of tacrolimus or a salt or derivative thereof by culturing a microorganism capable of producing tacrolimus or a salt or derivative thereof under submerged aerobic conditions with fed-batch processing at a high aeration rate.
Abstract:
A method of implementing a comparator in a device having programmable logic is described. The method comprises implementing a first comparison function in a first lookup table; implementing a second comparison function in a second lookup table; and using an output associated with the first comparison function to select an output of the comparator. A device having programmable logic comprising a comparator is also described.
Abstract:
A system with multiple processors sharing a single memory module without noticeable performance degradation is described. The memory module is divided into n independently addressable banks, where n is at least 2 and mapped such that sequential addresses are rotated between the banks. A bank may be further divided into a plurality of blocks. A cache is provided to enable a processor to fetch from memory a plurality of data words from different memory banks to reduce memory latency caused by memory contention.
Abstract:
An improved ADSL system with improved data rate is disclosed. In one embodiment, the upstream data bit rate is increased by extending the upstream transmission band. In another embodiment, the downstream data is also increased by extending the downstream transmission band.
