20140157291 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BINDING OBJECTS IN DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES USING CACHING TECHNIQUES - Disclosed are a method and system for binding a program object in a source code to one of a number of implementations of the program object, using caching techniques. Binding a program object to a particular implementation includes performing the binding process at compile time and runtime of the source code. During compilation phase, the program objects in the source code are identified, and each of the program objects is assigned a slot in a target cache. The slot is configured to store a pointer that points to a particular implementation of a program object to which the slot is assigned. During execution phase, the particular implementation of the program object is determined based on execution flow of the source code. After the particular implementation is determined, the program object is bound to the particular implementation by updating the assigned target cache slot with a pointer pointing to the particular implementation. | 06-05-2014 |

20090194677 | SIMULATED DOSE CALIBRATOR SOURCE STANDARD FOR POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY RADIONUCLIDES - A method for calibration and a calibrator source standard calibrated by the method are provided. The calibration method includes providing mock syringes, or other simulated dose container. A first of the mock syringes is filled with a short half life positron emitter. A second of the mock syringes is filled with a longer half life radionuclide set in a matrix material such as an epoxy. The activities of the two syringes can be determined, ideally in the same ion chamber, for example, against a radioactive source standard having a half life greater than the first and second radionuclides. This allows a conversion factor to be determined which can be used for a calibrator source standard formed as for the second mock syringe (i.e., with the same type of container containing the longer half life radionuclide set in a matrix material), when the calibrator source standard is used as a proxy for calibrating a calibrator for use in determining the activity of a dose container of the same configuration containing a dose of the short lived radionuclide. | 08-06-2009 |
20130075599 | UNIVERSAL MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR CALIBRATION SOURCE FOR USE IN PET SCANNERS - A universal mounting adapter is configured for interchangeably mounting a calibration source to two or more different imaging devices. The two imaging devices have different mounting brackets so they cannot be used with the same conventional calibration source. The present adapter includes mounting mechanisms for both types of bracket, allowing the attached calibration source to be moved from one imaging device to the other, while maintaining the calibration source in a prescribed geometry within the respective imaging device. This can be performed without the need for any tools. | 03-28-2013 |

20110081689 | Process for Thermal-Mechanical Pretreatment of Biomass - Disclosed is a process for the thermal-mechanical pretreatment of biomass. The process includes subjecting a biomass feedstock including fibers containing cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, to thermal reaction under conditions exceeding atmospheric pressure, at a temperature exceeding ambient temperature, at a predetermined moisture content and for a predetermined amount of time. Subsequently, the pressure of said thermal reaction is reduced under conditions resulting in explosive decompression of said biomass. The decompressed biomass is then subjected to axial shear forces to mechanically reduce the size of the fibers of the biomass to obtain treated biomass. The resultant treated biomass has a high level of enzymatic digestability and a low concentration of degradation products. | 04-07-2011 |

20100021693 | Aerofoil sub-assembly, an aerofoil and a method of making an aerofoil - A method of making an aerofoil comprises the steps of providing first and second skin panels and first and second web-forming membranes. The web-forming membranes each have a series of elongate slots formed longitudinally therein so as to define a series of alternating wide and narrow strips. The wide strips of one membrane are arranged against the narrow strips of the other membrane and the skin panels are arranged either side of the two web-forming membranes. Parts of the web-forming membranes and parts of the skin panels are treated with a release layer and the sub-assembly is compressed and heated so as to effect diffusion bonding between those parts of the membranes and skin panels which are not treated with the release layer. The sub-assembly is then heated and inflated so as to draw the first and second skin panels apart and that, in turn, causes the web-forming membranes to form webs internally. | 01-28-2010 |
