IES bowl St Marys out for 18
Top Stories
In probably the most one-sided contest you will ever see, IES VN Sule Guruji from Dadar took an outrageous 287-run lead after the first day's play in their three-day Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) Harris Shield contest on Tuesday.
The IES bowlers first ran through St Mary's ICSE, bowling them out for just 18, with Atharva Chavan, Shreyas Kemkar and Parab Heramb taking three wickets each. Then IES piled on the misery on their hapless opponents with Yash Bhojane and Kemkar scoring a century each, with the latter finishing unbeaten on 104.
Prithvi Shaw top-scored with 45 for Rizvi Springfield as they were bowled out for 184 against Swami Vivekanand. Ratnadeep Chavan starred with the ball, taking figures of 4/49 while Anish Chaudhary also was among the wickets, finishing with 3/58. Vivekanand in response finished the day on 131/4 with Pranav Bhatia having scored 45.
Maxwell Swaminathan led the charge for Fatima High School from Vidyavihar, though he wasn't provided much support by his teammates. Maxwell scored 45, while Fatima were bowled out for 163 against IES New English from Bandra. Bhavya Thakkar's 5/20 reduced Shardashram Vidyamandir Boys from Dadar to 57/9 after Swami Vivekanand from Kandivili had piled on 252 in their first innings. Umesh Sheth with 84 and Atharva Poojari with 55 were the main contributors with the bat. Shams Mulani was another star bowler, this time for Don Bosco High School as he ran amok through Oxford Public School's batting line-up, getting them all-out for 59 with figures of 6/16.
Brief Scores: Oxford Public School (Kandivali) 59 all out (Shams Mulani 6/16) vs Don Bosco H S (Matunga); Fatima High School (Vidyavihar) 163 all out (Maxwell Swaminathan 56; Atish Nair 3/41, Tejas Shetty 3/46) vs IES New English (Bandra) 47 for 2; IES Modern English (Dadar) 55 all out (Usman Gani 3/24, Shoeb Khan 3/14) vs Anjuman I-Islam Allana English (CST) 145 for 3 (Hashir Dafedar 63, Shaikh Mehoob 46 n.o.); Rizvi Springfield (Bandra) 184 all out (Prithvi Shaw 45; Ratnadeep Chavan 4/49, Anish Chaudhary 3/58) vs Swami Vivekanand 131 for 4 (Pranav Bhatia 45); St Mary's ICSE (Mazagaon) 18 all out (Atharva Chavan 3/6, Shreyas Kemkar 3/2 runs, Parab Heramb 3/0) vs IES VN Sule Guruji (Dadar) 305 for 2 (Yash Bhojane 112, Shreyas Kemkar 104 n.o., Pravin Kela 49 n.o.); Swami Vivekanand (Kandivali) 252 all out (Umash Sheth 84, Atharva Poojari 55; Saurabh Satelkar 4/34, Rohan Bhosle 4/73) vs Shardashram Vidyamandir Boys (Dadar) 57 for 9 (Bhavya Thakkar 5/20).

Estonia denies plan to honour Nazi veteransBreaking News
Estonia rejects accusations that it plans to honour Estonians who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II as "freedom fighters", as reported by various European media, EurActiv has learned.
"Estonian government can guarantee, that nobody would be honoured in Estonia for fighting in nazi uniform or belonging to Waffen-SS", a government spokesperson told Euractiv.
Last December, the Delfi news website in Estonia reported that the Defence Ministry wants Parliament to consider a bill that would recognise World War II fighters against Soviet troops as Estonian freedom fighters. Attempts to pass such legislation failed in 2006 and in 2010....

The slugger's saga speaks directly to matters of justice, ethics, historical memory, the role of media and spectacle at the beginning of the 21st century, and, of course, the priorities of business. As such, this contemporary tragedy reflects a country that seems adrift, morally challenged, in decline and with a profound loss of faith in established institutions.

Disclosed herein are metal-coated polyimide, e.g. metallized circuits on polyimide film, polyamic acid solutions for providing catalytic metal films on polyimide and other high temperature substrates and methods for making and using such solutions and metal-coatings.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,910,072, 4,900,618 and 5,082,734 disclose selective catalytic activation of catalytically inert polymeric films having essentially no metal on the surface. Such selectively activatable films are prepared from solutions of polymer and noble metal compounds. Maintaining adhesion of the catalyst to the surface is of considerable importance since loosely adhered catalytic metal can be washed from the surface in the agitation of the plating bath causing depletion of the metal value of the plating bath as uncontrolled metal deposition occurs, resulting in what is commonly referred to as a "crashed" bath. Adhesion of the catalytic layer to the substrate also affects the ultimate adhesion of the plated metal. Compatibility of a catalytic polymer film with a substrate, e.g. in terms of surface tension, hydrogen bonding or mechanical adhesion, etc., can be important in providing a strongly adherent metal layer. Certain polymer substrates, e.g. parts having sufficient thickness, are commonly etched or swelled at the surface to provide anchoring sites for colloidal palladium catalyst. Due to their chemical and thermal resistant polyimide film are perceived to be desirable substrates for flexible circuitry applied by electroless deposition. Such chemical and thermal resistance provide unique challenges to appropriate surface treatment that will allow adherent metal coatings. Among the inventive solutions to this technical challenge is flame treatment as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,954,570. Alternatively, polyimide films have been treated with caustic solutions to generate amic acid salt groups on the surface followed by application of solubilized or colloidal palladium as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,937,857, 4,992,144, 5,178,914 and 5,183,692. A mechanical means of providing a porous surface is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,847,139 where a copper laminated coating is removed from a polyimide film by etching to provide surface amenable to conventional plating pretreatment.
One difficulty encountered in the use of films of polyamic acid and noble metal catalysts results from the tendency of palladium to catalyze the oxidation of polyamic acid at elevated temperatures typically required to effect imidization, e.g. at about 250° C. and higher in the presence of oxygen.
Despite the adverse effects of palladium on catalytic decomposition of polyamic acid, this invention provides electroless deposition-catalyzing film-forming solutions comprising polyamic acid and noble metal in an aprotic solvent. Such solutions preferably also comprise surfactant and noble metal complexing agent, e.g. ammonia. Such solutions are used to provide articles having a coating or patterned image of a electrolessly-depositable element such as copper, nickel and the like. In the methods of this invention a polyamic acid/noble metal solution is applied as a coating or patterned image to provide a coherent, polyamic acid film which can be imidized, e.g. by heat treatment in the range of 250° to 350° C., providing a catalytic polyimide film. In view of high temperatures required for imidization, this invention advantageously provides electrolessly-deposited metal coatings on substrates having high working temperature; such substrates include metals, ceramics, glass, silicon, high heat polymers and thermoset polymers.
As used herein the term "polyamic acid" means a polymeric, macromolecular compound of the structural formula ##STR1## where n, on average, is greater than 10; where R1 is a carbon-carbon bond, --C(O)--, a C1 -C12 alkyl group, a C1 -C12 alkylene group, a polyakylene oxide, or ##STR2## where R2 is a carbon-carbon bond, --C(O)--, --SO2 --, --CH2 --, --CH(CH3)--, --C(CH3)2 --, --C(CF3)2 --, or --O--; where R3 is a C1 -C12 alkyl group, a C1 -C12 alkylene group, a polyakylene oxide, --phenyl--, --phenyl--R4 -- phenyl-- or --phenyl--O--phenyl--R4 --phenyl--O--phenyl--; where R4 is a carbon-carbon bond, --C(O)--, --SO2 --, --CH2 --, --CH(CH3)--, --C(CH3)2 --, --C(CF3)2 -- or --O--.
As used herein the term "noble metal" means palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, silver or gold.
As used herein the term "aprotic solvent" means acetone, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, ethylene dichloride, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, toluene, xylene, mixtures thereof or mixtures thereof with water, e.g. less than 10 parts water per hundred parts solvent.
This invention provides electroless deposition-catalyzing film-forming solutions comprising:
(A) 0.1 to 15 weight percent, preferably greater than 1.25 weight percent, of a polyamic acid (as defined above),
(B) 0.1 to 15 parts per hundred parts of polyamic acid (pph) of noble metal (as defined above),
(C) 60 to 95 weight percent of an aprotic solvent (as defined above),
(D) 0 to 10 weight percent of an anionic or non-ionic surfactant; and
(E) aqueous ammonium hydroxide in an amount to provide a molar ratio of ammonia to noble metal in the range of 1 to 10.
Preferred polyamic acids prepared by condensation polymerization of an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid and a diamine are commercially available or can be prepared by well known methods, e.g. as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,179,614 and 3,179,634. In practice the number of repeat units of the two monomer compounds, n, will range from 2 to about 100 or more, depending on reaction conditions, e.g. the concentration of reactants. Typically n, on average, will be greater than 10, say about 20, or more. Preferred polyamic acids have a structural formula where R1 is ##STR3## where R2 is --C(O)-- and R3 is --phenyl--O--phenyl--R4 -- phenyl--O--phenyl-- and R4 is --C(CH3)2 --. An especially preferred polyamic acid is the condensation product of aromatic tetracarboxylic acid anhydride and bis(aminophenoxyphenyl)propane, where n is typically about 20.
Typically, the noble metal of choice in the electrolessly plating industry is palladium which is advantageously provided in solution complexed with concentrate (e.g. 30 wt %) aqueous ammonia. A preferred aprotic solvent having high solubility for polyamic acids and minimal environmental impact is N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, which is favorably miscible with the small amounts of water used to provide a soluble noble metal complex.
Catalytic polyimide films formed by imidization of a polyamic acid film tend to be hydrophobic with respect to metal electroless plating solutions. That is, it is often difficult to achieve adequate wetting for desired plating performance. Plating can be enhanced by steps to more closely match the surface tension of the polyimide surface and the plating solution, e.g. by incorporating a surfactant in the polyimide film or in the plating solution. Surfactants can be incorporated in the polyimide film by employing an anionic or non-ionic surfactant in the polyamic acid film-forming solution. Preferred anionic surfactants are alkyl, aryl or alkaryl compounds having carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid or hydroxyl end groups; such anionic surfactants include alkyl sulfates such as the sodium tetradecyl sulfate and sodium 2-ethylhexyl sulfate and Dowfax alkylated disulfonated diphenyl oxides (both available from Dow Chemical Company). Preferred non-ionic surfactants include Triton X-100 non-ionic surfactant of octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (available from Rohm & Haas) and Fluorad fluorinated aliphatic polyester non-ionic surfactant (available from 3M). Alternatively, a useful surfactant for use in a plating solution is any of the aprotic solvents, preferably N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
Preferred electroless deposition-catalyzing film-forming solutions comprise 0.5 to 10 weight percent of polyamic acid, 1 to 10 pph palladium, 85 to 95 weight percent of a solvent mixture of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and water, 0.1 to 1 weight percent non-ionic surfactant wherein said surfactant is a fluorinated aliphatic polyester, and sufficient concentrated aqueous ammonia to provide a molar ratio of ammonia to palladium is in the range of 3 to 7.
The solutions of this invention are useful for providing electrolessly-deposited metal, e.g. as a coating or patterned image, on high heat resistant substrates having a working temperature greater than 300° C., more preferably greater than 350° C., even more preferably greater than 400° C. In the case of thermoplastic polymer substrates, working temperatures are advantageously characterized by heat distortion temperature under load (HDTUL) determined according to ASTM Standard Procedure D 648 measured on 3 mm thick specimen bars stressed at 9.3 Pascals (64 psi). In the case of non-thermoplastic materials, such as metals or thermoset polymers working temperatures are characterized by melt or decomposition temperature. For instance, a preferred embodiment of this invention employs a polyimide film, e.g. as available from DuPont as Kapton™ VN polyimide film which has no measurable HDTUL or melt temperature but has a second order glass transition temperature (Tg) greater than 360° C. In the case of metal plated circuits, such polyimide film is also preferred due to its high dielectric properties. Thus, useful substrates having high working temperature include metal such as aluminum and steel, metal oxides such as aluminum oxide and titanium oxide, ceramics such as carbides and aluminosilicates, glass, silicon, gallium arsenide, and the like. Useful substrates can comprise high heat resistant thermoplastic polymers such as polyimide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyphenylene oxide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether ketone, polyesterether ketone and polyimidazole. Useful substrates can also comprise thermoset polymers, e.g. crosslinked polymers, such as polyepoxide, thermoset polyester, thermoset polyacrylate, thermoset polyurethane. Mixtures of high heat substrates are also useful including mixtures of polymers and mixtures of polymers with inorganic materials such as metal filler.
Such high heat resistant substrates are useful in practicing the methods of this invention where it is desired to electrolessly deposit an element as a coating or patterned image on such substrates. Electrolessly depositable elements include metals such as copper, nickel, cobalt, tin, silver, gold, palladium and platinum, a mixture or alloy of metals and mixtures or alloys of metals with phosphorus. Phosphorus alloys and mixtures are produced when metals are deposited using hypophosphite as a reducing agent.
In the methods of this invention selected areas, e.g. full web or patterns, of a substrate are coated with an electroless deposition-catalyzing film-forming solution comprising 0.1 to 15 weight percent of polyamic acid and 0.1 to 15 pph noble metal in an aprotic solvent. The noble metal is present in said solution as a salt or complex of an element selected from the group consisting of palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, silver and gold; preferably a palladium compound, such as palladium acetate, where solubility of the palladium is effected using ammonia as a complexing agent. The coating or patterned image is formed into a coherent film of polyamic acid and dispersed noble metal salt or complex by evaporating the solvent from the selected areas.
Such coherent films can be heated to a temperature of at least 250° C., preferably at least 300° C. or higher, say up to about 340° C., for sufficient time to convert the polyamic acid to polyimide with the attendant liberation of water. Such heating also effects aggregation of the noble metal salt or complex into clusters of reduced noble metal, noble metal salt, noble metal complex or mixtures thereof. With activation heating such clusters tend to form on and near the exposed surface of the polyimide. Regardless of oxidation state of the metal, the clusters are catalytic to electroless deposition when exposed to the reducing environment of an electroless plating bath. Thus, the heating provides a catalytic, coating or patterned-image layer of polyimide and noble metal clusters.
As illustrated in the following examples there is a minimum and maximum heating time for optimum plating results, e.g. strongly adherent, thick electroless deposits without blisters, i.e. hydrogen bubbles under deposited metal. Activation for optimum plating can be readily determined with a modicum of experimentation with variables such as activation time and temperature, noble metal concentration, width and thickness of the polyamic acid/noble metal film, presence of oxygen and the like. For instance, at any activation temperature there is a time dependent plating effect which ranges from insufficient noble metal clusters for catalyzing plating at short times, to modest plating that is followed by blister formation to optimum plating (strongly adherent, thick metal deposition), to loosely adherent metal at long times. When the noble metal is palladium, these effects are believed to be due in part to the tendency of palladium to catalyze the oxidation of polyimide. When polyimide substrates are used, there is evidence that heating can cause some palladium clusters to penetrate the polyimide substrate providing exceptionally strong adhesion. However, if heating is conducted for too long, the palladium clusters degrade the polyimide matrix binding the clusters leaving clusters to lie loosely adhered to the substrate material, allowing a deposited metal to flake off the substrate with the application of minimal strain. Polyimide degradation has not been observed when activation is effected in an inert atmosphere like nitrogen.
The cause for blister formation is believed to be due to hydrogen that tends to aggregate under large metal areas. In the case of fine line plating, in contrast to full surface plating, it is believed that hydrogen diffuses out from under the deposited metal at a high enough rate to avoid blister formation. It has also been observed that blisters tend to form under copper deposits but not under nickel deposits.
Thus, the catalytic polyimide/noble metal surface can be immersed in an electroless deposition solution to provide an article comprising a high heat resistant substrate having a coating or patterned image of a electrolessly-depositable element selected from the group consisting of: (a) an element selected from the group consisting of copper, nickel, cobalt, tin, silver, gold, palladium and platinum, (b) a mixture or alloy of said elements, and (c) a mixture or alloy of said elements with phosphorus. Such articles are characterized as having an interfacial layer between the substrate and the electrolessly-deposited element, where the interfacial layer comprises a mixture of polyimide and dispersed clusters of noble metal selected from the group consisting of palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, silver and gold. In preferred cases where the noble metal is palladium, the interfacial layer comprises polyimide and palladium in the weight ratio of 10 to 100.
In an especially preferred embodiment this invention provides metal patterned circuits or signal carrying network of copper, nickel or cobalt on a flexible polyimide film, e.g. on one or both sides of a polyimide film. The patterned metal circuit is typically electrolessly deposited to a thickness of 0.1 to 4 micrometer. A thicker metal circuit, e.g. greater than 5 micrometers, for instance up to 35 micrometers thick, can be provided by electrolessly plating for an extended period of time or preferably by building the metal galvanically in an electrolytic plating bath. A thicker metal pattern can be homogeneous or bimetallic with one metal coated above an initial electroless metal deposit.
The invention is now described with reference to the following examples which are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to imply any limitation on the scope of the invention. In these examples the following materials are used:
NMP: N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
NMP-T: a 50:50 mixture of NMP and toluene.
PdAc2 : palladium acetate.
Surfactant FC430: Fluorad™ fluorinated aliphatic polyester surfactant from 3M.

Polyamic Acid Solution: 36% polyamic acid in NMP where the Polyamic Acid is a condensation product of benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid anhydride and bis(aminophenyoxyphenyl)propane, n is about 21.
Copper Bath: an electroless copper plating bath typically comprising 1.5 to 4 g/l soluble cupric ions, about 3 to 6 g/l formaldehyde and EDTA in a molar ratio EDTA/Cu of about 2/1, at pH 11.5-12.5 and typically used at a temperature of 25° to 45° C.
Nickel Bath: an electroless nickel plating bath typically comprising 6 g/l nickel ions chelated with tartrate and 30 g/l sodium hypophosphite monohydrate at pH 6.5 and typically at a temperature of 60° C.
Film-forming solutions of polyamic acid and noble metal were prepared by mixing 3.5 g of Polyamic Acid Solution, 9.65 g of NMP-T and 0.264 g of PdAc2 providing a solution comprising 1.25 wt % polyamic acid and 10 pph palladium. The film-forming solution was coated onto Polyimide Film using a 50 micrometer doctor blade; the solution was dried at 65° C. for 20 minutes providing a polyamic acid/palladium film which was catalytically activated by heating at 250° C. for 20 minutes to effect imidization and formation of palladium clusters. The activated polyimide/palladium cluster-coated film was immersed in a Copper Bath for 6.5 minutes providing a polyimide film coated with copper to a thickness of about 0.4 micrometers.
The procedure of Example 1 was essentially repeated except palladium was at 4 pph and the polyamic acid/palladium film was catalytically activated by heating at 250° C. for 70 minutes. The activated polyimide/palladium cluster-coated film was immersed in a Copper Bath for 3.8 minutes providing a polyimide film coated with copper to a thickness of about 0.2 micrometers.
This example illustrates the effect of activation time on plating quality and thickness. The procedure of Example 1 was essentially repeated using a solution of 1.25% polyamic acid and 10 pph palladium. A polyamic acid/palladium film, catalytically activated by heating at 250° C. for 20 minutes, was highly catalytic, i.e. it could be immersed in a Copper Bath for only 37 seconds before blistering of the copper deposit was observed; copper thickness at blistering was about 0.05 micrometers. A polyamic acid/palladium film, catalytically activated by heating at 250° C. for 55 minutes, was less catalytic, i.e. it could be immersed in a Copper Bath for up to 240 seconds before blistering of the copper deposit was observed; copper thickness at blistering was about 0.2 micrometers.
This example illustrates the effect of palladium concentration on processing parameters, e.g. activation time. The procedure of Example 1 was essentially repeated except that palladium was at 7 pph and 4 pph. The polyamic acid/palladium film at 7 pph palladium was catalytically activated by heating at 250° C. for 60 minutes; when immersed in a Copper Bath for 207 seconds, copper was deposited to a thickness of about 0.2 micrometers. The polyamic acid/palladium film at 4 pph palladium was catalytically inert after heating at 250° C. for 60 minutes; the film became catalytically active when heated at 250° C. for 70 minutes; when immersed in a Copper Bath for 240 seconds, copper was deposited to a thickness of about 0.25 micrometers.
This example illustrates the application of this invention for printed circuits on polyimide film. A polyamic acid/palladium solution was prepared comprising 13.8 wt % Polyamic Acid, 5 pph palladium in NMP, with aqueous ammonium hydroxide to provide a molar ratio of ammonia to palladium of 5:1. A circuit pattern (about 250 micrometer line width) of the solution was printed onto Polyimide Film using a gravure roll. The solution was dried; and, portions of the film were activated at 300° C. for times ranging from 1 to 4 minutes, then immersed for 6 minutes in a 2 g/l Copper Bath (modified to 12.5 vol. % NMP). Films activated for 1 minute provided shinier copper deposits than films activated for 4 minutes. A film activated for 4 minutes was allowed to remain in the modified Copper Bath for 15 hours providing a copper deposit that was about 3.6 micrometers thick.
A solution was prepared comprising 9% Polyamic Acid, 5 pph palladium, 0.25% Surfactant FC430 and aqueous ammonium hydroxide in NMP (molar ratio of ammonia to palladium of 5:1). Using a Meyer-rod coater the solution was applied to both side of a length of Polyimide Film (about 300 meters long by 0.3 meters wide), sequentially by coating each side and drying each side for about 20 seconds in a convection oven at 180° C. Wet polyamic acid/palladium thickness was in the range of 25 to 75 micrometers. A short length (about 1.25 meters long) of the film was activated by heating at 300° C. for 8 minutes, followed by immersion in a Nickel Bath for 5 minutes providing nickel deposits on both sides of the film. Nickel coatings were 0.4 to 0.5 micrometers thick with adhesive peel strength of about 800 newtons/meter.
A solution was prepared essentially according to Example 6 except that the solution comprised 12.5% Polyamic Acid, 10 pph palladium, 0.17% Surfactant FC430 and ammonia (5:1) in NMP. The solution was coated onto Polyimide Film, dried and activated by heating at 250° C. for 20 minutes. The film was divided and immersed for 3 minutes in Copper Bath and for 5 minutes in Nickel Bath. Metal deposits were about 0.05 micrometers thick and strongly adhered to the polyimide exhibiting peel strengths greater than 700 newtons/meter.
A solution was prepared using an emulsion of a vinyl acetate/vinyl chloride copolymer (Geon™ 590X20 49% solids latex from Goodyear) in place of Polyamic Acid; the solution comprised 5 wt % copolymer, 3.5 pph palladium, 4 pph Triton™ X-100 surfactant, aqueous ammonium hydroxide (molar ratio of ammonia/palladium of 5:1) in water. The solution was coated onto Polyimide Film, dried, and activated by heating at 160 ° C. for 5 minutes. The film was divided for immersion in both Copper Bath and Nickel Bath. Copper deposited to about 0.05 micrometers; nickel deposited from about 0.05 to 0.2 micrometers. Both copper and nickel had low adhesion to the polyimide and was readily removed by hand scratching.
This example illustrates the positive effect of higher temperature activation and longer activation time on increasing plating time (and thus raising plating thickness) before the formation of blisters. A solution prepared essentially according to Example 6 was coated onto both sides of a Polyimide Film and dried to provide a polyamic acid/palladium film. The film was divided into a plurality of segments, each of which was activated by heating under time/temperature conditions indicated in Table 1. The activated polyimide/palladium cluster-coated films were immersed in a Copper Bath (4 g/l copper and 44° C.) until there was an indication of blister formation; the plating time and thickness of the deposited copper is indicated in Table 1.

This example illustrates the utility of this invention in the high volume production of antenna patterns on Polyimide Film. A solution according to Example 6 was used as an ink for printing a repetitive patterns on Polyimide Film using a Mark Andy 830 flexographic printing press. The pattern comprised a plurality of 15 millimeter (nun) squares connected by 0.2 mm lines in a 250 mm by 140 mm rectangular area. The printed solution was dried by heating to provide printed pattern of polyamic acid/palladium about 0.2 micrometer thick. The film was divided into sections which were activated by heating at 340° C. at 10, 15, and 20 minutes. The activated catalyst patterns were immersed in a Copper Bath (4 g/l copper and 35° C.) until the onset of blistering (observed in the 15 mm square areas) as indicated in Table 2.

5k is a good interval.
Thanks, that's what I was thinking, then I saw some amsoil filters that were rated for 25k and started wondering what Lexus actually suggested.
For normal service Lexus say oil and cartridge oil filter every 5,000 miles. The filter is a cartridge style filter easy to change a little messy.
Thank you Sir.

White Ferns face tough super six journey
Related Links
Relevant offers
New Zealand enter the Super Six stage of the women's World Cup in India knowing one more slip up will probably be fatal to their aspirations after they lost a crucial pool match against Australia tonight.
White Ferns captain Suzie Bates' fourth one-day international hundred was in vain as Australia made light work of New Zealand's 227-6 in Cuttack, cruising past the total for the loss of three wickets in just the 39th over, courtesy of a Meg Lanning ton.
Both teams, along with South Africa, progress to the next stage but Australia carry through an extra two points than the Kiwis courtesy of their victory.
The top two teams after the Super Six crossover matches go straight through to the final in Mumbai on February 17 and with Australia already a game ahead, New Zealand will probably need to win all three Super Six matches, including one against defending champions England, to feature in the title decider.
Bates, coming off scores of 73 and 65 not out against South Africa and Pakistan in the first two matches, held New Zealand's innings together with another composed knock, the Otago opener scoring 102 and striking 12 fours in the 134-ball stay.
Having been sent into bat after fog delayed the start, New Zealand were in danger of being rolled when they collapsed to 39-4 in the 13th over.
Bates shared two vital partnerships, the first a 103-run stand for the fifth wicket with Auckland middle-order batsman Katie Perkins, who faced 78 balls for 41 before she was run out with New Zealand's total at 142 in the 38th over.
Experienced Northern Districts allrounder Nicola Browne (39 not out from 42 balls) then did exactly what she needed to, scoring at a run-a-ball in a 69-run partnership for the sixth wicket, while Rachel Priest's cameo (14 not out from six balls) pulled New Zealand's run-rate above 4.5.
It was much better than the early outlook as Australian opening bowler Megan Schutt ripped through the top order claiming the scalps of Lucy Doolan (9), Amy Satterthwaite (0) and the key wicket of Sophie Devine (9) in her first spell. She would finish the innings with 3-40 from 10.
Australia made a slow start to be 33-1 after 10 overs but the 20-year-old opener Lanning, who has already thwarted New Zealand several times in her short career and averages close to 50, combined with Jess Cameron to plunder 182 runs from 169 balls for the second wicket.
Cameron made 82 from 87 balls while Lanning, already a star in women's cricket, achieved her fourth ODI century in just her 18th match. She perished with the end in sight, for a 104-ball 112 that included 17 fours and a six.
New Zealand's first Super Six match is on Friday, with their opponent to be confirmed.

'Pretty Little Liars' 3.17 Sneak Peeks: How the Latest Revelation Changes Spencer
When "Pretty Little Liars" returns next week, fans will learn how the revelation of Toby's secret affects Spencer. She is seemingly trying to distance herself from the investigation on Ali's death, ignoring the new clue found by Emily.
When Emily confronts Spencer about her behavior, Spencer responds by questioning why they should care about Ali who wasn't loyal to them. Spencer will still keep the secret about Toby from her friends for some time as she lies to Aria and Hanna about her and Toby's supposed anniversary dinner.
Meanwhile, Emily shows the note written by Ali to Aria and Hannah and they learn more about what Ali may have been hiding the summer before her murder. At one point, the girls think that Ali mentioned Toby.
Spencer is not the only one who is keeping secret. Aria knows that she should tell Ezra about his son, but she isn't ready to face the idea of what it might do to her relationship. Hanna, on the other hand, is sure Caleb is keeping a secret from her and she is determined to find out what it is.
"Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Inferno" will air Tuesday, January 29 at 8 P.M. on ABC Family.

The extended desktop functionality is not available on Mac OS X when using the ClickShare Button. Creating a virtual extended desktop (i.e. an extended desktop without a second physical monitor connected to the computer) is not supported in this Operating System. In case of a CSC-1, the extended desktop function can be used with the integrated AirPlay support on firmware version 1.07 or higher.
Since it is not supported natively, this functionality would require the installation of a driver. The ClickShare client application completely relies on drivers already existing in the operating system, so the user does not need to install anything before using it. Therefore, installing a driver on Mac conflicts with our "ease of use" philosophy. In case of a CSC-1, the extended desktop function can be used with the integrated AirPlay support from 1.07 firmware softversion and higher.

In medical science especially, the fashion for meta-analyses can't help. Aggregating data from different studies results in all sorts of artifacts appearing.
Many if not most published climate-change papers describe some interesting results and then go on to draw broad conclusions that don't follow from the data, that are at best hypothesis the data suggests experimenting with. What percentage of scientists in a field have to get it wrong before the problem is with the methodologies and behavior accepted during peer review rather than the specific individuals?
In other words the "scientists" are sloppy and they produce results that fit their pet theory... Nothing new really, been going on for a long long time.
It's troubling though that it's so widespread but I guess most of them need to produce results so they can justify their need for money/tenure etc. and that usually means taking shortcuts and fudge the data.
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/11/13 -- Photon
- Demand for Mobile Apps fueling growth
- Photon now serves 25% of the Fortune 100 companies
- With 1600 Mobile Engineers, Photon is the largest and fastest growing provider in its class
Photon, leading provider of Cloud-to-Consumer User Experiences today announced record financial results for CY2012. The company achieved a 65 percent year-over-year increase in sales growth during this period.
Highlights of 2012 also include the opening of the Photon Minneapolis office and additional hiring, bringing the total number of trained mobile engineers to over 1600. Total employee count is now 2200 reflecting a 70% year on year hiring growth. Photon now has offices in Netherlands, Silicon valley, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Chennai, Minneapolis, Bangalore, and Jakarta.
Earlier this year, Photon announced the launch of its Microsoft Windows practice alongside its significant Apple iOS and Android practices. Photon scaled up its Windows practice to over 200 trained engineers and has already delivered highly rated apps to the Windows app gallery.
"This has been another strong year in Photon's evolution, with acquisition of many new Fortune 100 customers and strong revenue growth," said Srinivas Balasubramanian, CEO for Photon. "Our performance for 2012 demonstrates the underlying strength of our business and our growth validates the differentiated position of C2C-UX in the market."
Cloud-to-Consumer User Experiences is a unique service offering that combines the design skills of a creative agency with the Cloud IT delivery capability of a global service provider. Photon leverages the skills of 72 Pixels, its award-winning in-house creative agency, with a strong global technological delivery capabilities to build exciting and engaging C2C UX for our customers' customers. With Photon's one stop shop approach, organizations are able to avoid finger pointing between IT/Marketing/multiple vendors and create compelling experiences for their consumers. Photon's understanding of marketing and advertising as well as cloud based IT and new age technologies makes Photon a unique leader in the Post-PC era.
"Leading global brands are recognizing the unique combination of the IT capability and creative skills of Photon and we are betting on huge customer wins in 2013. With over 1600 trained mobile engineers, Photon holds strong expertise in leading technologies and frameworks, and creates more than 60 million digital touch points on a daily basis through its cloud to consumer user experiences," said Mukund Balasubramanian, CTO of Photon Infotech.
Photon's customers include some of the largest healthcare retailers, largest retail banks, the largest electronics retailers and the largest specialty retailers in the country, with Photon being Innovation Partners for most of them.
About Us
Photon is the largest global provider of Cloud-to-Consumer User Experiences (C2C-UX). Cloud-to-Consumer User Experiences (C2C-UX) are cross-platform, multichannel solutions that include mobile, social, web, kiosk, and in-store consumer touchpoints. Innovative global organizations use C2C-UX to create a sustainable competitive advantage that leverages the scale and cost efficiency of a Central IT cloud platform with the long tail of app developer and business channels that drive exponential user and revenue growth.
Photon is the largest provider of C2C-UX in market share with over 25% of the Fortune 100 served, largest in dedicated mobile engineers with over 1600 across US, India and Indonesia, and largest in consumer touchpoints with over 60 million. Photon is growing aggressively with sales growth (from March 2009 to today) of 65% year over year and a Customer Base exceeding 700 customers.
The challenge of C2C-UX is in crossing the deep divide between the IT department's Enterprise Cloud technology and the Marketing department's potentially explosive mix of Global, Mobile, Social, Local, and Viral creative designs. Photon bridges this gap by bringing the creative design capabilities of an agency but with a scalable Global IT services capability. As the leading company in this emerging space, Photon is uniquely able to guide its customers from ideation to deployment and beyond. Photon has offices in the US, India, Indonesia, and the Netherlands. For more information, visit www.photon.in

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions.
