Dissimilarity significance

A number of states afford remedies against encroachments that may exceed those afforded under the federal statutes. One such significant remedy is that against dilution of the mark, where use of a mark that is similar to the mark in question, although not confusingly similar because of a dissimilar or noncompetitive use, nevertheless tarnishes, degrades, or dilutes the distinctiveness of the mark (14). 

Note that in ISO/TS 16949 documented procedures are needed where the product identity is not inherently obvious - the where appropriate condition has been removed. If products are so dissimilar that inadvertent mixing would be unlikely to occur, a means of identifying the products is probably unnecessary. Inherently obvious in this context means that the physical differences are large enough to be visible to the untrained eye. Therefore functional differences, no matter how significant - as well as slight differences in physical characteristics, such as color, size, weight, appearance - would constitute an appropriate situation for documented identification procedures. 

Quinoxalin-2-ones are in tautomeric equilibrium with 2-hydroxy-quinoxalines, but physical measurements indicate that both in solution and in the solid state they exist as cyclic amides rather than as hydroxy compounds. Thus quinoxalin-2-one and its A -methyl derivative show practically identical ultraviolet absorption and are bases of similar strength. In contrast, the ultraviolet spectra of quinoxalin-2-one and its 0-methyl derivative (2-methoxyquinoxaIine) are dissimilar. The methoxy compound is also a significantly stronger base (Table II). Similar relationships also exist between the ultraviolet absorption and ionization properties of 3-methylquinoxalin-2-one and its N- and 0-methyl derivatives. The infrared spectrum of 3- (p-methoxy-benzyl)quinoxalin-2-one (77) in methylene chloride shows bands at 3375 and 1565 cm" which are absent in the spectrum of the deuterated... 

Stainless steels each appear twice in the list. The more active potentials are those which the metal adopts when corroding as in a pit. The more cathodic potential is that adopted by the bare surface around the pit. The potential difference constitutes a significant driving force, analogous to the situation where the coupling of dissimilar metals such as copper and iron promotes the corrosion of the more anodic of the two (see below). 

Titanium in contact with other metals In most environments the potentials of passive titanium. Monel and stainless steel, are similar, so that galvanic effects are not likely to occur when these metals are connected. On the other hand, titanium usually functions as an efficient cathode, and thus while contact with dissimilar metals is not likely to lead to any significant attack upon titanium, there may well be adverse galvanic effects upon the other metal. The extent and degree of such galvanic attack will depend upon the relative areas of the titanium and the other metal where the area of the second metal is small in relation to that of titanium severe corrosion of the former will occur, while less corrosion will be evident where the proportions are reversedMetals such as stainless steel, which, like titanium, polarise easily, are much less affected in these circumstances than copper-base alloys and mild steel. 

The electrochemical examination of fusion joints between nine pairs of dissimilar metal couples in seawater showed that in most cases the HAZ was anodic to the weld metals" . Prasad Rao and Prasanna Kumarundertook electrochemical studies of austenitic stainless steel claddings to find that heat input and 5Fe content significantly affected the anodic polarisation behaviour under active corrosion conditions whilst Herbsleb and Stoffelo found that two-phased weld claddings of the 24Cr-13Ni type were susceptible to inter-granular attack (IGA) as a result of sensitisation after heat treatment at 600°C /pa was unaffected by heat input. 

Both Cayley and Polya were able to enumerate unrooted trees and C-trees, but the methods they used were somewhat involved. A significant improvement in the enumeration of these trees, also known as "free" trees, was made by Otter [OttR48]. Otter s method depends on the concept of a dissimilarity characteristic, and deserves a brief description. 

A comparison of the Rh/S102 and Rh/T102 plots of 3 vs p and the derived rate constants serves to further show the similarity between normal- and SMSI-Rh/TlO, and their dissimilarity with Rh/SlOo. The Rh/S102 6 vs p plots at 48 and 158 C are super-Imposable within our experimental error, while they are significantly different from those for Rh/T102 normal or SMSI. 

Furthermore, while no significant difference in the product distribution, with the exception of the trans-decalin/cis-decalin ratio, is observed for the tested proton-form zeolites, dissimilarity between Pt/H-Y on one hand and both Pt/H-Beta zeolites on the other hand is found (Figure 6). More ROP and CP, accompanied by less Iso, are formed on Pt/H-Y than on Pt/H-Beta zeolites. This implies that the consecutive ring opening and cracking are faster over Y-zeolite than over Beta-zeolites resulting in lower concentration of isomers and higher concentrations of ROP and CP.
