Experimental Designs and Instrumental Methods Sample Clauses

Experimental Designs and Instrumental Methods. Nanophase will perform experiments that span the range from simple screening experiments, where chemical additives are added to liquid/particle mixtures and evaluated for dispersion efficacy, to elaborate statistical design of experiments (a “DOE”) where many additives and combinations of additives are evaluated for dispersion effectiveness providing the opportunity for optimization via analysis of the DOE response surfaces in the appropriate software. For all experiments and responses will be selected to determine how effective the chemical system(s) are dispersing particles into stable liquid formulations. The compiled data and associated analyses will be made available to Eminess in context of the research effort. The determination of particle dispersion effectiveness may be measured in many ways. The use of particle sizing instrumentation is an effective way to determine the effectiveness of a particle dispersion formulation. Examples of such instrumentation may include ensemble methods such as light scattering (laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering) or sedimentation, and non-ensemble methods such as single particle optical sizing. Another way to measure particle stability is through zeta potential measurements. Nanonphase will perform measurements using the aforementioned techniques and provide relevant data describing the dispersion effectiveness of the systems explored, especially those that provide the clearest path to a stable liquid dispersion of particles suitable for polishing applications. It should be noted that suitable measurements beyond formulation characterization should be investigated and such measurements that will include performance tests via controlled polishing experiments. Measured responses from these tests will include material removal rates, surface roughness measurements, and will also monitor the formulation characteristics as a function of polishing time.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.

  • Supply of Materials The following materials will be supplied by the department Name of Materials Rate. Place of delivery 1.

  • Development Records Each Party shall maintain complete, current and accurate records of all Development activities conducted by it hereunder, and all data and other information resulting from such activities. Such records shall fully and properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of the Development activities in good scientific manner appropriate for regulatory and patent purposes. Each Party shall document all non-clinical studies and Clinical Trials in formal written study reports according to Applicable Laws and national and international guidelines (e.g., ICH, cGCP, cGLP, and cGMP).

  • Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment The contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure nondiscrimination in the administration of this contract. a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and suppliers and lessors of their EEO obligations under this contract. b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations.

  • Solicitations for Subcontracts, Including Procurements of Materials and Equipment In all solicitations either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the Engineer for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials or leases of equipment, each potential subcontractor or supplier shall be notified by the Engineer of the Engineer's obligations under this contract and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin.

  • Inventions and Improvements Executive shall promptly communicate to the Company all ideas, discoveries and inventions which are or may be useful to the Company or its business. Executive acknowledges that all such ideas, discoveries, inventions, and improvements which heretofore have been or are hereafter made, conceived, or reduced to practice by him at any time during his employment with the Company heretofore or hereafter gained by him at any time during his employment with the Company are the property of the Company, and Executive hereby irrevocably assigns all such ideas, discoveries, inventions, and improvements to the Company for its sole use and benefit, without additional compensation. The provisions of this Section 19(b) shall apply whether such ideas, discoveries, inventions, or improvements were or are conceived, made or gained by him alone or with others, whether during or after usual working hours, whether on or off the job, whether applicable to matters directly or indirectly related to the Company’s business interests (including potential business interests), and whether or not within the specific realm of his duties. Executive shall, upon request of the Company, but at no expense to Executive, at any time during or after his employment with the Company, sign all instruments and documents reasonably requested by the Company and otherwise cooperate with the Company to protect its right to such ideas, discoveries, inventions, or improvements including applying for, obtaining, and enforcing patents and copyrights thereon in such countries as Company shall determine.
