Various medical devices (such as catheters and guide wires) need hydrophilic coatings to reduce friction for maneuvering through blood vessels. They did so by studying hydrophilic, lipophilic, free-soluble and insoluble-bound phenolic extracts, using a lipoxygenase/4-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline (LOX/RNO) technique.
The clock rate typically refers to the frequency at which a chip like a CPU(central processing unit), one core of a multi-core processor, is running and is used as an indicator of the processor's speed. It is measured in the SI unit hertz.
Central Processing Unit. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the part of a computer system that is commonly referred to as the brains of a computer. The CPU is also known as the processor or microprocessor. The CPU is responsible for executing a sequence of stored instructions called a program.
