Smart Templates

Ledford [47] developed a Smart Template for analysis of diesel aromatics in experimental work on a standard analytical method under development for evaluation by the ASTM. (Vogt et al. [45] developed a similar analysis.) Figure 11 shows an example group analysis with Ledford s Smart Template. The Smart Template uses a retention-time polygon with CLIC expression on the GC xGC-MS data for each chemical group, with distinctions for both chemical classes and carbon number. The result is a descriptive group analysis.

In combination with reversible and smart templates, analysis of liquids in a flow cell can be performed.

The number of features in the maximal feature vector, of order of hundreds of thousands, is too big to be useful in practice, due to such issues like data transmission through the net, data storage in databases, templates comparison made in smart card processors or biometric standalone devices, etc. To reduce the number of features, we will look for a feature vector that leads to minimum sample equal error rate determined on available iris images database. 

Through the incorporation of chemically or physically active moieties into the structures of super- and supra-molecular systems, functional or smart self-organizing materials can be created. Such material systems are related to proteins in that they can be designed to have specific structures and properties. For example, Fig. 13 shows a template for a supermolecular system where two functional units A and B are incorporated into its structure. A and B may interact with each other or with other chemical entities introduced to the supermolecular system. The design of such smart func-...

Smart sorbents are a vivid application of one-way cycles such a sorbent was recently developed on a basis of a copper complex.It is the microporosity of the material that arises or disappears as a response to external stimuli. The a-form of the complex is not active as a sorbent with respect to many guest sorbates (e.g., xenon, methane, propane). Consecutive application of a helium flow containing a guest template and then a flow without the guest template (Steps I and 2 in Fig. 2. respectively) transformis the a-form into an empty P-form that acts as a...

In situ IR spectroscopy is interesting for a broad range of technological applications, e.g., in (i) biomedicine and biochemistry, (ii) electrochemistry, (iii) catalyses, and (iv) microfluidic devices. In particular, it is relevant for the design of functional templates for drug release [5], studies of smart films and surfaces [11], characterization...

We have discussed in the previous sections about the physical properties and surfactant-assisted self-assembly formations of metal nanoparticles. These assembling methods are quite beautiful and intelligent, because they are induced by the spontaneous driving force for assembling by smart choice of the conditions. In the cases of practical use, however, the methods described below are rather tend to be required (1) the method to make a desirable size, length, shape, architecture and position, etc., (2) a simple and easy method, and (3) highly stable assemblies. From these viewpoints, as a final section for a preparation of nanoparticle assembly, we introduce here the template assisted self-assemblies of nanoparticles. This section is classified to three stories corresponding to the dimension (such as ID, 2D and 3D) of the template and assembly.
