20100316960 | PATTERNING NANO-SCALE PATTERNS ON A FILM COMPRISING UNZIPPING POLYMER CHAINS - The invention concerns a method for patterning a surface of a material. A substrate having a polymer film thereon is provided. The polymer is a selectively reactive polymer (e.g. thermodynamically unstable): it is able to unzip upon suitable stimulation. A probe is used to create patterns on the film. During the patterning, the film is locally stimulated for unzipping polymer chains. Hence, a basic idea is to provide a stimulus to the polymeric material, which in turn spontaneously decomposes e.g. into volatile constituents. For example, the film is thermally stimulated in order to break a single bond in a polymer chain, which is sufficient to trigger the decomposition of the entire polymer chain. | 12-16-2010 |

Example apparatus and methods may acquire data from the first storage to instantiate the virtual machine, to instantiate an operating system on the virtual machine, or to instantiate an application on the virtual machine from the first storage. Example apparatus and methods may write a snapshot to the second storage and then support random input/output for the virtual machine, for the operating system, or for the application from the second storage. The snapshot may selectively be collapsed or the second storage may selectively be retired and thus example systems may selectively update the first storage from the second storage. Having dual devices facilitates using de-duplication storage for de-duplication-centric I/O while non-de-duplication storage is used for random I/O. | 02-05-2015 |

20150039029 | IMPLANT DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR STABILIZED FIXATION OF BONE AND SOFT TISSUE - A system for syndesmosis repair includes a flat band secured to bone by pulling a metal button through both the tibial and fibula bones, which button is then toggled into position to create tension, along the band, across the two bone segments to be fixated. Once the button is secure against the bone, flat suture tails against the lock at the initial insertion site serves to tension the band and bone segments in place. The system band offers syndesmosis repair with a knotless closure. The system is designed to provide this stabilized fixation for bone fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis, plus soft tissue to bone attachment, if desired. It is designed to apply a restorative fixation force across the tissue segments to stabilize them. The band's rigidity and compliant nature provides consistent and rigid fixation during the healing phase. | 02-05-2015 |

20100173254 | METHOD FOR EXTINGUISHING A CANDLE AT TIMED INTERVALS USING A COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - A method for extinguishing a candle at timed intervals using a combustible material is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes: utilizing a combustible composition adapted for application to a wick segment; utilizing a combustible first wick segment; coupling a combustible second wick segment to the combustible first wick segment; placing the combustible second wick segment adjacent to the first wick segment; and configuring the combustible second wick segment to, as the combustible first wick segment, once ignited, burns down to the combustible second wick segment, interrupt and slowly self-extinguish the burning of the first wick segment. The candle wick is configured to be relit, post extinguishment, without having to physically remove a non-combustible barrier. A combustible composition also is disclosed. A candle further is disclosed. | 07-08-2010 |

20090130640 | N-BACK EXERCISE FOR TRAINING COGNITION - Computer-implemented method for improving cognition. Multiple first and second stimulus elements are provided, where some of the second elements correspond to the first elements. A sequence of first stimulus elements is presented, each element presented for a duration separated by an interval. After a specified delay period, equal to the duration plus the interval, times a non-integer factor N, a sequence of groups of second elements is presented concurrently with the sequence of first elements, where each group includes a matching second element that matches a corresponding first element presented earlier by the specified delay period, i.e., presented N first elements back. For each presented group, the participant indicates the matching second element, or a second element in the group that doesn't match. The delay period is modified based on whether the participant responded correctly. The presenting, presenting, requiring, determining, and modifying are repeated in an iterative manner. | 05-21-2009 |
