A polyamide composition contains a) 88.5-98 wt. % of at least one aliphatic polyamide, wherein at least one monomer unit has 10 to 14 carbon atoms, and wherein the aliphatic polyamide is semi-crystalline; and b) 2-11.5 wt. % of an S glass fiber. The weight percentages of a) and b) are based on a total weight of the polyamide composition. The polyamide composition contains neither a polyolefinic impact modifier nor a core-shell modifier. A moulding material containing the polyamide composition is useful, and a moulded article can be produced from the moulding material. A shoe outsole containing the polyamide composition is also useful.

Polyamide composition

A plastic material is useful as an ink receiver or printing medium in dye diffusion thermal transfer printing, wherein the plastic material has a polyamide component (a), and a (co)-polyamide (b) based on ether units and amide units. This plastic material can be used to make a layered structure. The layered structure can be used in dye diffusion thermal transfer printing. A security and/or valuable document with the layered structure can be obtained. Based on the finding that the (co)-polyamide (h) offers sufficient absorbency for the printing ink, the layer produced from the plastic material can be printed on by means of dye diffusion thermal transfer printing with a good color intensity.

Plastic material for printing by dye diffusion thermal transfer printing

A moulding material contains to an extent of at least 50 wt % of the combination of the following constituents: a) 80 to 95 parts by mass of a polyamide component comprising a1) 70 to 100 parts by wt of PA PACMX and a2) 30 to 0 parts by wt of a linear aliphatic polyamide, b) 4 to 19 parts by mass of a core-shell impact modifier, and c) 1 to 5 parts by mass of a functionalized styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer as an impact modifier, wherein the parts by mass of a), b) and c) sum to 100. The moulding material has a high transparency and a very good notched impact strength.

Tough polyamide moulding material

A polymer composition includes a linear aliphatic polyamide having on average 10 to 14 carbon atoms in the monomer units, an S glass fibre, and a polyolefinic impact modifier. The polymer composition can achieve higher stiffness and impact strength without impairing the ductility. The polymer composition can be used as a moulding material.

Polymer composition based on linear aliphatic polyamide

A polymer composite includes a linear aliphatic semi-crystalline polyamide having on average 10 to 14 carbon atoms in the monomer units, or the compound thereof, an S glass fiber, and a core-shell impact modifier. The polymer composite can achieve higher stiffness and impact strength without impairing the transparency significantly. The polymer composite can be used as molding material.

Semi-transparent polymer composite comprising a linear aliphatic polyamide

A method is provided for determining cellular electrical potentials using a state estimator. The state estimator is generated using at least an electrical source model and an electrical conduction model. One or more parameters or states of the state estimator are adjusted based on a measured electrocardiographic and/or a measured body-surface-potential signal. The electrical potential of one or more cells is determined based on the one or more adjusted parameters or states. In one aspect of the present technique, one or more representations of an organ comprising the one or more cells is generated such that the electrical potential or its deriving characteristic of the one or more cells is visually indicated.

Determination of cellular electrical potentials

In accordance with an implementation of the present technique, a method for processing data is disclosed. The method involves analyzing consistency of sensor readings obtained from a plurality of sensors monitoring a device, where each sensor reading is indicative of at least one operational parameter of the device. The method also involves assigning a confidence value to each of the sensor readings, where the confidence value is indicative of an operational condition of one of the plurality of sensors that provided the sensor reading. The method also includes weighting each sensor reading based on the confidence value assigned to the sensor reading to determine an acceptance or a rejection of the sensor reading and fusing the sensor readings that are accepted to obtain a fused sensor reading corresponding to the operational parameter measured by the sensors on the device.
