The dielectric slit die is an instrument that is designed to measure electrical, rheological, ultrasonics, optical and other properties of a flowing liquid. In one application, it is connected to the exit of an extruder, pump or mixing machine that passes liquefied material such as molten plastic,...

The phase-sensitive amplifier implementing our chi(3) 4-wave mixing source would be an enabling technology for image processing. A number of efforts in the newly labeled field of "quantum imaging" allow for better detection sensitivity or better image resolution if one is able to apply "squeezed"...

The process and method provides a means of leveraging Next Generation Access Control (NGAC) standard for expression and enforcement of access control policies over SQL queries for accessing tables, records, columns, and fields in existing RDBMS products. By leveraging NGAC the Process and method...

A method that centrally manages Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies and locally computes and enforces decisions over those policies on objects that are locally protected using Access Control Lists (ACLs). The method is based on the expression of an ABAC policy that conforms to the access...

The invention is a method for fabricating millimeter-scale and sub-millimeter calls containing a vapor of alkali atoms in large numbers at the wafer scale. The key element of the method is that the wafer that forms the glass lid of the cell is translated laterally between the alkali deposition step...

The invention describes a novel method for storing a database of usemames and corresponding passwords on software and hardware security modules( such as smart cards and USB security tokens) that do not offer native password database storage capability. External applications can access and use these...

Engineered sortase variants are shown to have promiscuous activity that allow proteinsto be tagged using a diverse array of small, commercially available amines, includingbioorthogonal functional groups. This technique can also be carried out in living microbial cells,enabling simple, inexpensive...

Disclosed is a system, comprising a series of devices, for encapsulating and obtaining high­ resolution imaging and spectroscopic measurements of samples in a fluid (gas or liquid) environment in the transmission electron microscope (TEM). The system comprises a nanofabricated chip which enables...

The invention is a method and apparatus to index collections of documents through a combination of natural language processing tools and the application of a novel rules-and-root-based method for automatically creating phrase-based, structured keywords that encode semantics for facilitating...
