A web-based method and system that facilitates business transactions, including the raising of capital in global financial markets via the Internet is described. Users of the system design, structure, analyze and execute business transactions over the Internet. Users of the system described include issuers, financial institutions, intermediaries, other professional advisors (law firms, accounting firms, translation agencies, etc.) and end investors. A security means controls access to the system and restricts access to the system to only qualified users. Users of the system design and diagram a transaction structure, assign corresponding attributes to the structure design. The structure design and corresponding attributes are stored in a database. The transaction is posted as a notice or interest onto the system, wherein a user maintains the posting. A database of user and transaction information is compiled and maintained. The user profile is compared with the posted transactions to identify transactions of interest to a user. The transaction information is communicated to the user. The transaction is executed, including issuing new securities or buying or selling previously issued securities through an auction or trade process. The system provides users direct access to its community, which includes, but is not limited to, issuers, investors, intermediaries, and advisors such as law firms, consultancy firms, accounting firms, and translation agents.

A Three-phase Power Signal Processor (TPSP) is disclosed for general three-phase power system applications. The TPSP is developed based on the concepts from adaptive filter and dynamical systems theories. The structure of the TPSP is unified as it provides a multiplicity of the signals and pieces of information without the need to change, modify, or enhance the structure or to impose excessive computational time or resource requirements. The presented TPSP receives a set of three-phase measured signals, which can be voltage, current, magnetic flux, etc, and provides (1) the instantaneous and steady-state symmetrical components, (2) the fundamental components, (3) the peak values (magnitudes) of the symmetrical components, (4) the frequency and its rate of change, (5) the synchronization signal(s) and zero-crossing instants, (6) the phase-angles of the symmetrical components, and (7) the disturbance signatures. Two or more TPSP units, when properly augmented, further provide (8) the individual harmonic components, (9) the inter-harmonics, (10) the instantaneous real and reactive current components, (11) the total harmonic distortion, dc-offset, and power factor. The TPSP can serve as the building block for various signal processing requirements encountered in the context of power system applications including power systems control, protection, monitoring, and power quality.

The disclosure relates to a method whereby a user is provided with a gesture for e.g. editing work on a touch sensing device. By using two objects, e.g. two fingers, on a touch surface of the touch sensing device the user may zoom in or zoom out of a graphical element, halt the zooming, and thereafter crop the graphical element to define a new cropped element of the graphical element. The method makes use of a distance between the two objects, which is determined and monitored. The disclosure also relates to a gesture interpretation unit and to a touch sensing device.

A new efficient framework based on a Constant-size Ciphertext Policy Comparative Attribute-Based Encryption (CCP-CABE) approach. CCP-CABE assists lightweight mobile devices and storing privacy-sensitive sensitive data into cloudbased storage by offloading major cryptography-computation overhead into the cloud without exposing data content to the cloud. CCP-CABE extends existing attribute-based data access control solutions by incorporating comparable attributes to incorporate more flexible security access control policies. CCP-CABE generates constant-size ciphertext regardless of the number of involved attributes, which is suitable for mobile devices considering their limited communication and storage capacities.

The present invention claims the addition of vinylene carbonate (VC) and optionally also fluoroethylene carbonate to the electrolyte of lithium ion cells having a structural silicon composite anode, i.e. an anode containing fibres or particles of silicon. The additive significantly improves the cycling performance of the cells. A VC content in the range 3.5-8 wt % based on the weight of the electrolyte has been found to be optimum.

The invention discloses a preparation method for an ordered mesoporous carbon/tungsten carbide composite material and a supported catalyst thereof. In the method, an organic matter and a tungsten salt are separately used as a carbon source and a tungsten source, and the carbon source and the tungsten source are mixed with a surfactant; and a precursor of the ordered mesoporous carbon/tungsten carbide is synthesized by a solvent-evaporation induced self-assembly method, and then the precursor is subject to high-temperature treatment in the inert atmosphere to form the ordered mesoporous carbon/tungsten carbide composite material. The ordered mesoporous carbon/tungsten carbide composite material prepared by the method has the characteristics of high degree of order, narrow aperture distribution, large specific surface area (greater than 500 m<2>/g) and the like. The invention further comprises a supported catalyst prepared by supporting active components on the ordered mesoporous carbon /tungsten carbide composite material which is prepared by the method; and because of the synergistic effect and the structure effect of the ordered mesoporous carbon/tungsten carbide composite material, the catalyst has higher methanol electro-oxidation catalytic activity than a commercial carbon platinum-ruthenium catalyst.

A semiconductor substrate including a single crystal semiconductor layer with a buffer layer interposed therebetween is manufactured. A semiconductor substrate is doped with hydrogen to form a damaged layer containing a large amount of hydrogen. After the single crystal semiconductor substrate and a supporting substrate are bonded, the semiconductor substrate is heated so that the single crystal semiconductor substrate is separated along a separation plane. The single crystal semiconductor layer is irradiated with a laser beam from the single crystal semiconductor layer side to melt a region in the depth direction from the surface of the laser-irradiated region of the single crystal semiconductor layer. Recrystallization progresses based on the plane orientation of the single crystal semiconductor layer which is solid without being melted; therefore, crystallinity of the single crystal semiconductor layer is recovered and the surface of the single crystal semiconductor layer is planarized.
