Computer-implemented methods for automatically adjusting an opacity of layers in a three-dimensional (3D) object are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request to display data for a 3D object having a plurality of layers, and providing, for display, data for a view of the 3D object. An opacity of each of the layers of the 3D object in the view is adjusted based on a position of the view of the 3D object. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

A method of manufacturing a colored contact lens including the steps of providing a transparent contact lens having a pupil section and an iris section, the iris section surrounding the pupil section and applying a colorant to the surface of the contact lens. The colorant is applied to the contact lens as an amorphous pattern and covers an effective amount of the iris section of the same. The amorphous pattern provides a lens capable of changing the apparent color of the iris of a person wearing the lens while imparting a very natural appearance.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for controlling the presentation of a visual representation of information upon a see-through display. In the context of a method, a visual representation of information is initially caused to be presented on a see-through display. At least a portion of the information at least partially occludes a user's view through the see-through display. The method also determines a context associated with the user. For example, the method may determine the context associated with the user by receiving data based upon an activity of the user and determining the activity performed by the user based upon the data. Regardless of the manner in which the context is determined, the method reduces occlusion of the user's view through the see-through display attributable to the visual representation of the information based at least in part on the context associated with the user.

The invention relates to matt color ink jet printer paper paint and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: adding dispersant into deionized water to be dissolved at the room temperature; adding modified bentonitic clay to the dissolved deionized water and dispersing at the room temperature; adding silicon dioxide to the modified bentonitic clay dispersion liquid for dispersion, and obtaining mixed dispersion liquid; adding an adhesion agent to the mixed dispersion liquid while stirring; adding a silicone antifoaming agent, PDMDAAC and carboxymenthyl cellulose in sequence, and obtaining paint liquid after evenly blending and stirring. Because the modified bentonitic clay is utilized as the pigment to prepare the paint for the matt color ink jet printer paper, good water absorption performance, good color fixation performance, high color density, good color reductibility and no infiltration of the matt color ink jet printer paper can be ensured, and the purpose of reducing the cost of the matt color ink jet printer paper can be achieved.

There is a process for operating a utility boiler. The process has the following steps: a) continuously adding one or more slag control agents, one or more oxygen-generating agents, and a fuel oil to a furnace of the utility boiler; b) providing air to the furnace; c) burning the fuel oil to generate heat and an exhaust gas; d) periodically or continuously varying the dosage rates of the one or more slag control agents and/or the one or more oxygen-generating agents to maintain to substantially maintain one or more emissions variables in the exhaust gas within pre-determined limits. There is also a method for reducing emissions from a utility boiler and a method for reducing slag deposits within a utility boiler.

The rosin sizing agent consists of main components including modified rosin, tall oil, stearic acid, pine gum and paraffin; and supplementary material including polyethenoxy ether sulfo succinate, abietate, polymer dispersant and disinfectant. It is prepared through low pressure process with relatively high controllability and production quality stability. The sizing agent has high compatibility with calcium carbonate stuffing, high sizing effect, low production cost and less mildew produced in storage. The sizing agent is suitable for use in producing high-grade paper and paper card.

A fossil-fuel-fired system, which includes an emissions-control-agent dispenser, a furnace, an emissions monitor and, optionally, a controller, is disclosed. The emissions-control-agent dispenser provides a prescribed amount of organic-emissions-control agent, such as, for example, an opacity-control agent to the fossil-fuel-fired system. The furnace includes an exhaust communicating with the atmosphere. The emissions monitor is capable of measuring at least one property of the flue-gas communicated through the exhaust to the atmosphere. For example, when an organic-emissions-control agent is an opacity-control agent, the emissions monitor has the capability of at least measuring opacity. When included, the controller communicates with at least the emissions-control-agent dispenser and the emissions monitor.

Polymerizable compositions that include: (a) a cationically active functional group; (b) an initiation system capable of initiating cationic polymerization of the cationically active functional group; and (c) a filler composition that includes various radiopacifying fillers in an amount sufficient to render the polymerizable composition radiopaque. Components (a), (b), and (c) are selected such that the polymerizable composition polymerizes to form a polymerized composition having a Barcol hardness, measured using a GYZJ-935 meter, of at least 10 within 30 minutes following initiation of the cationically active functional group at a reaction temperature of 25° C.

A method and an apparatus are provided for extruding filled dough products with improved dough quality. Co-extruder arrangements are provided herein that reduce the occurrence of surface-defects in extensible dough during dough extrusion procedures. In particular, co-extruder arrangements are provided that yield high quality, low opacity dough without requiring costly or complicated equipment modifications.

Disclosed is a recording paper containing pulp fibers and magnetic fibers, in which the fiber orientation ratio is within a range selected from the range from 1.8 to 3.0 and the range from 1.0 to 1.3 as measured by an ultrasonic wave velocity method.

Scanning a subject with an ultrasonic probe and obtaining an ultrasonic image of the subject. Obtaining a cross-sectional image of a cross-section of a three-dimensional image corresponding to the ultrasonic image from the three-dimensional image, the three-dimensional image including a puncture line set for a puncture needle and a superimposed columnar index having a central axis line on the puncture line and opacity which is reduced with the distance from the central axis line. Displaying the ultrasonic image and the cross-sectional image. In this case, the thickness, opacity, and cross-sectional shape of the index displayed on the cross-sectional image vary according to the positional relationship between the scan plane of the ultrasonic probe and the cross-section in which the puncture line is set.
