Abstract:
A magnetic valve includes a collar surrounding and defining a port and a plug. The plug is movable from a first position within the port, in which the port is wholly closed by the plug, to a second position out of the port, in which the port is not wholly closed. The plug and collar are magnetically attracted such that in the first position the plug is magnetically retained within the port.
Abstract:
Methods for forming an apparatus containing a nanofluidic device with a pattern having nanoscopic features includes producing a regular interference pattern in a substrate using two coherent light beams. In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a nanofluidic device having nanoscopic features in at least two dimensions. In an embodiment, a nanofludic device having nanoscopic features is formed using an ultraviolet source to generate a regular interference pattern.

Abstract:
Described is a method for generating a parametric search statement for finding a target document. The parametric search statement is generated in the text boxes of a search bar. A user action is performed in the text box. An in-place context menu having menu items responsive to the user action are displayed near the location of the user action. Each menu item includes at least one of an attribute of the target document, a comparison operator and a value. One of the menu items is selected from the in-place context menu based on a known characteristic of the target document. Parametric search statements are easily generated using the method without the need to access numerous dialogs boxes or to enter significant text.
Abstract:
A curable composition includes an olefinically unsaturated monomer and a poly(arylene ether) having two polymerizable groups and an intrinsic viscosity of about 0.05 to about 0.30 deciliters per gram. The composition exhibits an improved combination of high flow during molding and high post-cure stiffness and impact strength. The composition is particularly useful for fabricating plastic-packaged electronic devices.
Abstract:
A method, system and apparatus for the offline securing of messages through selective security data replication. A method for selectively replicating security data for offline processing of electronic messages can include identifying a messaging partner associated with the electronic message responsive to processing an electronic message. Subsequently, it can be determined whether electronic messages previously had been received from or transmitted to the identified messaging partner. If it is determined that electronic messages previously had been received from or transmitted to the identified messaging partner, identifying information for the identified messaging partner can be added to a batch listing. Consequently, during a replication process, security data can be selectively replicated from an external repository to a local repository only for security data associated with messaging partners corresponding to identifying information in the batch listing.
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for optimizing a SyncML slow sync between a proprietary client and server. When a slow sync is detected, the client and server can depart from the normal SyncML protocol and process summary data without having to compare all items on a field-by-field basis.
Abstract:
This computer implemented software invention supervises networked system resources with the goal of maximizing service availability, providing on-demand and uninterrupted access to service, and minimizing the down time due to failures. It is a cluster-wide solution that co-ordinates the states and activities of resources, assigns availability roles, implements recovery from failures, and implements overall system policy. To do this, it maintains a system model of the system's physical and logical configuration and models the resources using managed objects that provides an extensive representation of the states, roles, and relationships of the systems resources.
Abstract:
A mechanical test method prescribes compressing brittle balls in spherical conforming opposing platens producing equatorial bulging, tensile stresses, and resulting indentation crack growth that is imaged for providing direct measurement of the fracture toughness of brittle balls, such as, silicon-nitride balls used in hybrid bearings as well as conventional steel ball bearings, with measurement errors being immune to characterizing the dimensions and positioning of the precrack indentations, so that, the test method is accurate, repeatable, and robust.
Abstract:
In a communication receiver circuit, an amplifier circuit can include an adjustable gain. A signal corresponding to a portion of a transmitted frame can be received, and a gain of the receiver circuit can be adjusted such as automatically, and such adjustment can be referred to as automatic gain control (AGC). An offset correction can be performed to adjust for an error in a received representation of a transmitted carrier, and such offset correction can be referred to as carrier frequency offset (CFO) correction. A portion of the received signal can be dynamically allocated between AGC and CFO correction, such as allocating a longer duration to CFO correction when AGC results in a relatively higher receiver gain, and allocating a shorter duration to CFO correction when AGC results in a relatively lower receiver gain.
