The translucent or opaque colored glass-ceramic article provides a cooking surface and has an adjustable light transmission in a visible range under 15%, as measured for a 4 mm sample thickness; a flaw-free upper surface with an impact resistance of greater than 18 cm breaking height, as tested with a 200 g steel ball in a falling ball test; a temperature difference resistance of greater than 500° C.; a high crystallinity with keatite mixed crystals as principal crystal phase in an interior of the glass-ceramic article and with a residual glass phase fraction of less than 8% by weight; a glassy upper surface layer of from 0.5 to 2.5 μm thick, which is substantially free of high quartz mixed crystals and which inhibits chemical reactions, and a content of enriched ingredients in the residual glass phase in the interior of the glass-ceramic and in the glassy surface layer of ΣNa₂O+K₂O+CaO+SrO+BaO+F+refining agents of from 0.2 to 1.6% by weight.

The present invention extends the generalized Lloyd algorithm (GLA) for vector quantizer (VQ) codebook improvement and codebook design to a new linearly-constrained generalized Lloyd algorithm (LCGLA). The LCGLA improves the quality of VQ codebooks, by forming the codebooks from linear combinations of a reduced set of base codevectors. The present invention enables a principled approach for compressing texture images in formats compatible with various industry standards. New, more flexible compressed texture image formats are also made possible with the present invention. The present invention enhances signal compression by improving traditional VQ approaches through the integrated application of linear constraints on the multiple pattern and signal prototypes that represent a single pattern or block of signal samples.

A thermal spray material includes granules of an oxyfluoride of yttrium (YOF). The granules may contain a fluoride of yttrium (YF₃). The granules preferably have an oxygen content of 0.3 to 13.1 mass %. The granules preferably have a fracture strength of 0.3 MPa or more and less than 10 MPa. Part of yttrium (Y) of the granules may be displaced with at least one rare earth element (Ln) except yttrium, the molar fraction of Ln relative to the sum of Y and Ln being preferably 0.2 or less.

A data recording system for storing the voice data or other data contents of telephone calls, whereby contents of telephone calls performed using internal telephones which are connected via a switchboard to a public telephone network can be stored as data records by a telephone conversation recording apparatus, while contents of telephone calls performed using a mobile telephone can be stored on a memory card as a data record, which can be transmitted from a computer via a computer network and gateway to be stored by the telephone conversation recording apparatus in an identical way to the contents of a call performed using an internal telephone. A user can thus utilize or process the contents of a recorded telephone call in the same way, irrespective of whether the user has performed the telephone call at a remote location using a mobile telephone or by using an internal telephone.

A lead-free solder alloy is provided which has improved impact resistance to dropping even after thermal aging and which is excellent with respect to solderability, occurrence of voids, and yellowing. A solder alloy according to the present invention consists essentially of, in mass percent, (1) Ag: 0.8-2.0%, (2) Cu: 0.05-0.3%, (3) at least one element selected from In: at least 0.01% and less than 0.1%, Ni; 0.01-0.04%, Co: 0.01-0.05%, and Pt: 0.01-0.1%, optionally (4) at least one element selected from Sb, Bi, Fe, Al, Zn, and P in a total amount of up to 0.1%, and a remainder of Sn and impurities.

The present invention provides a method for preparing a BaX type zeolite granules comprising: adding a carbohydrate-based molding promoter to NaX type zeolite powder and thereto subsequently spraying and blending alumina sol and silica sol to form granules of the mixture; heating the formed granules to convert the alumina and silica component to aluminosilica so as to generate pores inside the formed granules; hydrothermally treating the resulted granules in a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution under the conditions for zeolite synthesis, thereby converting a portion of the aluminosilica to zeolite; and carrying out ion-exchanging by Ba ions. The present invention also provides BaX type zeolite granules which have excellent strength and can be suitably used as an adsorbent in simulated moving bed (SMB) application.

A system and machine-implemented method including receiving a request for a set of content items within a session, identifying, in response to the request, one or more content items, determining if the session is associated with a continuation token, wherein the continuation token provides information regarding the content items provided for display during the session, generating a continuation token for the session when the session is not associated with a continuation token, providing at least one of the one or more content items for display and updating the continuation token with information regarding the at least one of the one or more content items provided for display and a time stamp.

For a leadframe for use with integrated circuit chips, a continuous strip of sheet-like base metal is pre-plated with a layer of nickel fully covering the base metal, further on one surface with a palladium layer in a thickness suitable for bonding wire attachment, and on the opposite surface with a layer of either palladium or lead-free solder in a thickness suitable for parts attachment. The leadframe structure is then stamped from the sheet so that the base metal is exposed at the stamped edges, enhancing adhesion to molding compounds.

The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to apparatus, systems, and/or methods for fractionating a feed mixture comprising, for example, one or more isocyanates, light components, solvents and/or heavier components. In some embodiments, fractionating an isocyanate feed mixture may comprise distilling the feed mixture in a non-adiabatic fractionating apparatus comprising a prefractionating section and/or column and a main section and/or column, which comprises a rectification section, a side section, and a stripping section. For example, isocyanates may be separated from light component(s), solvent(s) and/or heavier component(s). A fractionating apparatus may be configured and arranged, in some embodiments, as a dividing wall column. According to some embodiments of the disclosure, apparatus, systems, and/or methods may be energy efficient and/or may have a broad operating range.

The present invention relates to the field of communication and transmission of signals. In particular, the present invention relates to a new communication and/or modulation method. The present invention also relates to improving channel occupancy. The present specification discloses the adoption of phase transitions/changes in a manner that indicates a code by virtue of their position (timing) in the communication. This is referred to as Phase Position Modulation.
