Federal Appeals Judge To Focus On Computer And Patent Law Issues As Visiting Scholar In Ud’S School Of Law, University Of Dayton

News Releases

Patent laws surrounding software are complex and confusing. Deciding what computer-related inventions can be protected by patent law has been a challenge for the courts. For example, ideas, laws of nature and mathematical formulas are not covered under patent protection, so a patent application for software that embodies an idea or formula would be rejected. However, if the software containing the idea, law or formula is instead applied to a particular machine, it is acceptable for patenting. "Patent protection of computer software is becoming more involved and more important," said Randall Rader, a circuit judge for the U.S. Court of …

Reaction Of Dioxygen With A Cross-Conjugated Carbon-Carbon Double Bond In A Bis-Macrocycle Diiron Compound, D. Brent Macqueen, Christopher Lange, Melvin Calvin, John W. Otvos, Larry O. Spreer, Christian B. Allan, Anna Ganse, Richard B. Frankel

Physics

Dioxygen at atmospheric pressure attacks a cross-conjugated carbon-carbon double bond in a diiron complex to form two, like, keto macrocyclic iron(II) complexes. This reaction occurs with high yield in both solution and in the solid state. A dioxetane intermediate is, therefore, invoked. The rate of the reaction is very dependent on the nature of the axial ligands on the low-spin iron(II) ions in the bimetallic complex. The rate is at least a factor of 10⁴ faster with DMF ligands than with CH₃CN axial ligands. This rate dependence is explained by stabilization of a peroxo biradical transition state …

Vcu Voice (1997-10-13)

VCU Voice, 1988-1998

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

Nonuniversal Scaling And Conformational Crossover Of Polymer Chains In An Electrophoretic Deposition, Grace M. Foo, Ras B. Pandey

Faculty Publications

A computer simulation model of electrodeposition of polymer chains on an impenetrable wall is used to evaluate the power-law scaling exponents (ν_x(y)) for the longitudinal and transverse spread, R_gx(y)∼L_c^ν_x(y); we find that the exponents ν_x(y) depend on the field strength, i.e., they are nonuniversal. A conformational crossover is observed for the transverse spread from the bulk with ν_y≃1/3-2/3 to the wall with ν_y≃2/3-1. A similar crossover also occurs for the longitudinal component of R_g but with an opposite trend, i.e., magnitude of ν_x is larger …

"Quadrupoled" Materials For Second-Order Nonlinear Optics, S. F. Hubbard, Rolfe G. Petschek, Kenneth D. Singer

Faculty Scholarship

We describe a new approach to second-order nonlinear optical materials, namely quadrupoling. This approach is valid in the regime of Kleinman (full permutation) symmetry breaking, and thus requires a two- or three dimensional microscopic nonlinearity at wavelengths away from material resonances. This "quadrupolar" nonlinearity arises from the second rank pseudotensor of the rotationally invariant representation of the second-order nonlinear optical tensor. We have experimentally investigated candidate molecules comprised of chiral camphorquinone derivatives by measuring the scalar invariant associated with the rank two pseudotensor using hyper-Rayleigh scattering. We have found sizable scalar figures of merit for several compounds using light for …

The I Band Tully-Fisher Relation For Cluster Galaxies: Data Presentation., Riccardo Giovanelli, Martha P. Haynes, Terry Herter, Nicole P. Vogt, Gary Wegner, John J. Salzer, Luiz N. Da Costa, Wolfram Freudling

Dartmouth Scholarship

Observational parameters which can be used for redshift-independent distance determination using the Tully-Fisher (TF) technique are given for 782 spiral galaxies in the fields of 24 clusters or groups. I band photometry for the full sample was either obtained by us or compiled from published literature. Rotational velocities are derived either from 21 cm spectra or optical emission line long--slit spectra, and converted to a homogeneous scale. In addition to presenting the data, a discussion of the various sources of error on TF parameters is introduced, and the criteria for the assignment of membership to each cluster are given.

The Impact Of Multimedia Training On Mental Models Of Simple Processes, Johnny L. Washington, Erika Rogers

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The purpose of this paper is to describe work in progress on a project which is designed to study how multimedia training may impact people’s mental models of sample processes. A tutorial is under development which helps people learn how to construct an abstract model of the steps needed to produce a letter on a typewriter, and how to change this model when the task moues to a computerized setting. Subjects have been recruited to participate in this study, and the current status of the project is discussed.

Outbreak Agent: Intelligent Wearable Technology For Hazardous Environments, Erika Rogers, Robin R. Murphy, Chris Thompson

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The topic of this paper is a project to design an intelligent agent which supports humans in the domain of hazardous site investigation. This software agent will be integrated into wearable technology which is embedded in the protective clothing worn by the humans. An overview of some of the design issues is presented, with a particular emphasis on the visual problem solving component.

On The Stability Of Lapart, Chaouki T. Abdallah, G.L. Heileman, M.J. Healy

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

In this paper we show how the stability of a LAPART neural network can be deduced as a result of a general theorem on the input/output stability of nonlinear systems. This result gives conditions on how to choose certain parameters in the LAPART network in order to guarantee stability, which has implications on LAPART's generalization properties and its noise robustness.

Observation Of Laser Satellites In A Plasma Produced By A Femtosecond Laser Pulse, S.A. Pikuz, Anatoly Maksimchuk, Donald Umstadter, M. Nantel, I. Yu. Skobelev, A. Ya. Faenov, A. Osterheld

Donald Umstadter Publications

Laser satellites are detected in the emission spectra of magnesium and aluminum plasmas produced by femtosecond laser pulses. This is made possible by the realization of picosecond time resolution in a highluminosity x-ray spectrograph with a spherically curved mica crystal. The temporal characteristics of these newly recorded spectral lines show unequivocally that they are formed as a result of nonlinear processes.

Determination Of The Preexponential Frequency Factor For Superparamagnetic Maghemite Particles In Magnetoferritin, Bruce M. Moskowitz, Richard B. Frankel, Sarah A. Walton, Dominic P. E. Dickson, K. K. W. Wong, T. Douglas, Stephen Mann

Physics

Magnetization and Mössbauer measurements on maghemite particles with an average particle diameter of 10 nm have been made in the temperature range from 5 K to 353 K spanning the superparamagnetic (SPM) and stable single domain (SD) regimes. The maghemite particles were produced within the iron-storage protein ferritin, resulting in a narrowly-sized, weakly interacting nanocomposite material called magnetoferritin. Experiments combining hysteresis measurements, low temperature remanence, and Mössbauer spectroscopy were used to characterize magnetoferritin and to provide experimental estimates of (1) the pre-exponential frequency factor ƒ₀ in the Néel-Arhennius relaxation equation; (2) the SPM threshold size at room temperature for …
