One role of the Contraception Advisory Group, formed in 1989, is to coordinate research to develop new contraceptive methods. Because melengestrol acetate (MGA) implants, which have been used by zoos for almost 20 years, recently have been associated with ute...

Captive continuous inkjet (CIJ) is a potentially disruptive inkjet technology recently developed in the Kodak Technology Center. The captive continuous inkjet technology is expected to deliver the best of both drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet and continuous inkjet (CIJ) technologies: high resolution, compact size, and low cost associated with traditional DOD technologies and the high throughput and ...
