Abstract:
Under the present invention a definition file and an object file are provided. The definition file includes a defined syntax for managed object descriptions, while the object file contains a description of a particular desired object. When a process is started (or re-started), the files are automatically read and the description in the object file is automatically validated based on the defined syntax in the definition file. Once validated, the description is used to automatically create a managed resource from which a managed object can be created.
Abstract:
Accessing a digital file from a database that includes the steps of determining a first set of data entry protocols for enabling a user to access, i.e. preview, at least one portion of said digital file, enabling a user to access the one or more portions by entering the first set of protocols, determining a second set of data entry protocols for enabling a user to access the entire digital file from the database and enabling a user to access said entire digital file by entering the second set of data entry protocols in response to the user accessing the one portion or some threshold of a predetermined number of such portions.
Abstract:
A denture adhesive delivery system comprising a primary packaging material which encloses and retains the denture adhesive article and further comprises a means for decreasing the denture adhesive article from sticking to the primary packaging material which can be selected from including a liner, coating one or more of the components of the delivery system with a non-stick coating, and/or minimizing the contact area between the components of the denture adhesive delivery system.
Abstract:
Animal product free (APF) media and processes for the culture and fermentation of botulinum toxin producing Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The botulinum toxin obtained can be used for formulating and compounding botulinum toxin pharmaceutical compositions. The APF media can contain significantly reduced levels of meat or dairy by-products and use non-animal based products instead of the animal-derived products. Preferably, the APF media used are substantially free or free of animal derived products.
Abstract:
Business directory services allow definitions of custom category hierarchies and different search methods, such as, for example, search by location, distance from an addressable location, partial or complete business name, and category. A stepwise refinement search interface provides capability for searching within search results using different search methods or categories. Thus, a user does not have to refine and re-enter search criteria in order to get a progressively selective search. This is particularly useful for mobile phone or hand-held device users who would prefer not to have to re-enter the criteria on each search but rather incrementally refine the search criteria.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving broadcasting data in a DMB system are provided to reduce power consumption and implement smooth and seamless service handover. A frame group is configured so as to include information about services included in the frame group and information indicating the relative start times of the services.
Abstract:
A circuit interrupter comprises a pair of fixed contact strips, a pair of movable contact strips, a reset component, a movable component, and a tripping component that contains a reset contact. Each of the fixed contact strips has a fixed contact. Each of the movable contact strips has a fixed end and a movable end which has a movable contact arranged for contacting one of the corresponding fixed contacts. The movable component is disposed to sustain the movable ends of the movable contact strips and is capable of either being latched with or released from the reset component to move between a first position where the movable contacts are separated from the fixed contacts and the movable contact strips are separated from the reset contact, a second position where either the movable contact strip contacts the reset contact and the movable contacts are separated from the fixed contacts, and a third position where the movable contacts make contact with the respective fixed contacts and the movable contact strips are separated from the reset contact. The tripping component is capable of latching the reset component with the movable component for the movable component to move to the third position upon detection of a reset request and releasing the reset component from the movable component for movable component to move to the first position upon detection of a fault condition.
