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.
A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.n the case of a binary CPU, this is measured by the number of bits (significant digits of a binary encoded integer) that the CPU can process in one operation, which is commonly called  word size , bit width, data path width, integer precision, or integer size.
