Abstract The results of two methodically different experiments dedicated to the effect a break-up fission fragment while it passing through solid-state foil are discussed. hypothesis is confirmed that some part fragments which were born in shape isomer states undergo due inelastic scattering foil.

With the growing demand for mechanically flexible electrical systems and the increasing level of integration of electrical assemblies, hybrid build-ups combining polymer substrates and ultra-thin flexible silicon chips (system-in-foil) are getting more and more important. These systems need thin chips which maintain their functionality even in bent condition as well as reliable handling and ass...

Ferroelectric material supports both pyroand piezoelectric effects that can be used for sensing pressures on large, bended surfaces. We present PyzoFlex, a pressure-sensing input device that is based on a ferroelectric material. It is constructed with a sandwich structure of four layers that can be printed easily on any material. We use this material in combination with a high-resolution Anoto-...

A recent system, FOIL, constructs Horn clause programs from numerous examples. Computational efficiency is achieved by using greedy search guided by an information-based heuris-tic. Greedy search tends to be myopic but de-terminate terms, an adaptation of an idea introduced by another new system (GOLEM), has been found to provide many of the benefits of lookahead without substantial increases i...

To aid fundamental studies on the polarization of electrons in beta decay, measurements were made of the spin dependence in the scattering of 14 MeV electrons from Pb as a function of scattering angle and foil thickness. The experiment made use of a beam of polarized electrons from a strained GaAsP cathode. A simple theoretical model based on plural scattering explains the observed dependence o...

This paper describes a new method for inducing logic programs from examples which attempts to integrate the best aspects of existing ILP methods into a single coherent framework. In particular, it combines a bottom-up method similar to Golem with a top-down method similar to Foil. It also includes a method for predicate invention similar to Champ and an elegant solution to the \noisy oracle" pr...
