The invention is a radiation curable coating containing an antimicrobial agent, where upon irradiation with UV light, the radiation curable coating rapidly cures to a polymeric coating. The polymeric coating has durable antimicrobial properties, being especially effective at preventing the growth of Staphylococcus aureaus and Kleibsella pneumoniae on wood flooring and furniture. The major components in the radiation curable coating are a urethane acrylic oligomer, a radiation cure package, an antimicrobial agent, a cross-linking agent, and optionally, an additive package. The radiation curable urethane oligomer is a relatively short chain backbone urethane polymer that is end capped with a radiation curable moiety, where the moiety is an acrylic. The cross-linking agent is one or more monomers used to lower the viscosity and promote cross-linking, and include acrylate esters of mono-, di-, tri-, or tetrafunctional alcohols. The radiation cure package contains at least one photoinitiator.

A MOS field effect transistor. A field relaxation layer of a gate overlap structure is disposed in contact with a drain region for the purpose of relaxation of the electric field by increasing a distance between the field relaxation layer and a high-density layer. The electric field relaxation can further be promoted because the equipotential lines are bent by a gate insulation film. A punch-through stopper layer of a gate overlap structure is disposed in contact with a source region for suppressing spreading of a depletion layer toward the source region. The length of a gate electrode can be realized in a miniaturized size.

A liquid dispensing device includes a storage container having an opening and dome pump assembly attached thereto substantially over the opening for metered dispensing. The dome pump assembly is integrally formed with a dome button, top portion extension and valve to facilitate manufacture and reduce costs of the pump while improving performance thereof. The valve is employed to pull liquid from the storage container into the dome for metering. An exit passageway formed from the extension and container wall serves as an output valve. The user squeezes the dome and the opposite side of the container pouch concurrently to seal the flapper valve to urge liquid out through the exit passageway for actual dispensing.

Systems and methods are disclosed to assist in making decisions. The systems and methods consider situations where the user is determining which of several alternatives is the best choice. The criteria to evaluate the decisions are input into a grid, and the user rates the different alternatives against the different criteria. Given several alternative choices or options, it provides the probability each alternative is the right selection. In one embodiment, the system implements a Bayesian approach. The systems and methods may estimate the chance some important consideration was missed thereby reducing the chance of being surprised or blindsided. The system and method may also examine the inputs to a decision analysis in order to detect entries that might reflect bias, assumptions or unusual reasoning, thereby increasing the chance of obtaining the correct answer. The systems and methods may also identify the factors that were predictive. The systems and methods do not accept information as valid and correct; rather, they allow cross-checking and verification, and further employ sub-systems and sub-methods to reduce mistakes. Systems and methods so disclosed may be employed in financial analyses, intelligence analysis, etc.
