Disclosed is a system for, and method of, identifying an entity representation. In some embodiments, search criteria are used to identify an entity representation in a universal database, and this identification is then used to identify a corresponding entity representation in a foreign database. Certain embodiments provide assurance, with a know probability of error, that the entity representatio...

Disclosed is a system for, and method of, searching for and identifying an entity representation. Some embodiments utilize a reflexive, symmetric and transitive function to allow for non-identical matches between field values. The function may be used to generate field value codes, which are associated with a portion of a field value weight for the original field value. In such embodiments, the fi...

Often used to reduce the RC delay in integrated circuits are dielectric films of porous organosilicates which have a silica like backbone with alkyl or aryl groups (to add hydrophobicity to the materials and create free volume) attached directly to the S:L atoms in the network. Si-R bonds rarely survive an exposure to plasmas or chemical treatments commonly used in processing; this is especially t...

The present invention allows a player to easily instruct a character displayed on a monitor to execute a plurality of commands. If an input signal is input from a contact input type monitor, an input position on the contact input type monitor, which corresponds to the input signal, is recognized based on the input signal from the contact input type monitor. Then, it is judged if the input position...

Apparatuses and methodologies are described that facilitate packet aware scheduling are provided. In some embodiments, if all of the information of a packet cannot be scheduled in a single transmission period, additional resources may be assigned to transmission of the contents of the packet based upon latency requirements and/or transmission constraints of the packet.

In a fuel assembly for a pressurized water reactor and a method of designing the fuel assembly, fuel pellets made from a sintered uranium oxide are put into a zirconium metal alloy fuel cladding tube and form a fuel rod. The fuel rods are bundled together in a matrix form to form the fuel assembly. When an outer diameter of the fuel pellet increases, a weight of uranium loaded in the fuel assembly...
