Abstract:
Techniques are provided herein for establishing at a network management server a presence on a network. A presence associated with one or more managed devices on the network is detected. An instant messaging (IM) session is established with the one or more managed devices. The IM session forms a virtual chat room for performing a management function on the one or more managed devices, and IM messages are sent that are configured to perform the management function on the one or more managed devices. Techniques are also provided herein for establishing on a network an enriched presence by a network management server that is configured to perform a management function via a presence function of a messaging and presence protocol.
Abstract:
Methods of manufacturing printed circuit boards using parallel processes to interconnect with subassemblies are provided. In one embodiment, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board including providing a core subassembly including at least one metal layer, providing a plurality of one-metal layer carriers after parallel processing each of the plurality of one-metal layer carriers, and attaching at least two of the plurality of one-metal layer carriers with each other and with the core subassembly.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for sending from a client in a first network device a session initiate message over a first secure network connection that is configured to initiate a communications session with a client in a second network device. The session initiate message is configured to supply connection information for the second network device to establish a second secure network connection with the first network device. A session accept message is received from the client in the second network device over the first secure network connection that is configured to accept the communications session with the client in the first network device. The session accept message is configured to supply connection information for the first network device to establish the second secure network connection with the second network device. The second secure network connection is established between the first network device and the second network device using the connection information.
Abstract:
A modular force sensor apparatus, method, and system are provided to improve force and torque sensing and feedback to the surgeon performing a telerobotic surgery. In one embodiment, a modular force sensor includes a tube portion including a plurality of strain gauges, a proximal tube portion for operably coupling to a shaft of a surgical instrument that may be operably coupled to a manipulator arm of a robotic surgical system, and a distal tube portion for proximally coupling to a wrist joint coupled to an end portion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to new methods of enzymatic synthesis of polymers such as polyorganosilicones and polyesters, and new polymers made by these methods.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a compound represented by Structural Formula I: wherein the variables are described herein. Also included are methods of making the compounds of Structural Formula (I) and methods of using the compounds as antioxidants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of a renin inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, alone or in combination with one or more active ingredient, for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Abstract:
A silicon carbide semiconductor device includes a substrate and a junction field effect transistor. The transistor includes: a first semiconductor layer disposed on the substrate; a first gate layer disposed on a surface of the first semiconductor layer; a first channel layer adjacent to the first gate layer on the substrate; a first source layer connecting to the first channel layer electrically; a second gate layer adjacent to the first channel layer to sandwich the first channel layer; a second channel layer adjacent to the second gate layer to sandwich the second gate layer; a third gate layer adjacent to the second channel layer to sandwich the second channel layer; and a second source layer connecting to the second channel layer electrically.
Abstract:
Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, data structures, computer-readable media, mechanisms, and means for establishing a call across a network. For example, the network may include a first edge switch, a second edge switch, and an ATM core network coupled to the first and the second edge switches and configured to allow the second edge switch to communicate with the first edge switch. The second edge switch, being responsive to a received Q.2630.1 AAL2 message, is configured to send a first Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) setup message to the first edge switch as part of establishing a call between or through one or more of the first and the second edge switches.
Abstract:
Methods for preparing microparticles having reduced residual solvent levels. Microparticles are contacted with a non-aqueous washing system to reduce the level of residual solvent in the microparticles. Preferred non-aqueous washing systems include 100% ethanol and a blend of ethanol and heptane. A solvent blend of a hardening solvent and a washing solvent can be used to harden and wash microparticles in a single step, thereby eliminating the need for a post-hardening wash step.
