The author wishes to point out that Motorola has recently spun off its semiconductor unit as a new company called Freescale. Readers should note that in the article appearing in Microelectronics Journal 35(6), Freescale should replace Motorola in lines 14 and 948.

A new classiication theorem for links by the authors and Roger Fenn leads to computable link invariants. As an illustration we distinguish the left and right trefoils and recover the result of Carter et al that the 2-twist-spun trefoil is not isotopic to its orientation reverse. We sketch the proof the classiication theorem. Full details will appear elsewhere

Abstract Cu-Al-Mn alloys display martensitic transformation over a wide range of temperatures. In addition to low cost, this alloy is known for its stress with reasonable latent heat favoring elastocaloric applications. However, the ductility can be limited owing ordering and intergranular fracture. Through rapid solidification by melt spinning, we show that ribbon made highly ductile (greater ...
