Abstract:
A process for the preparation of n-heneicosane is disclosed. The process comprises (a) reacting 2,4-alkaneanedione with 1-bromooctadecane in absolute ethanol in the presence of 18-crown-6 as catalyst to produce 2-heneicosanone; and (b) reducing said 2-heneicosanone using hydrazine hydrate and potassium hydroxide in ethylene glycol to obtain n-heneicosane.
Abstract:
A dynamic multimedia fingerprinting system is provided. A user requests multimedia content from a Web cache server that verifies that the user is authorized to download the content. A custom fingerprint specific to the user is generated and dynamically inserted into the content as the content is delivered to the user. The custom fingerprint can be generated on the Web cache server or at the content provider's server. The system allows a content provider to specify where the custom fingerprint is inserted into the content or where the fingerprint is to replace a placeholder within the content.
Abstract:
A method and system for integrating an external service are provided. A first definition of a service for integration with an application floorplan is generated. A semantic type data having a second definition of a global data type used in the application floorplan is generated. A semantic type mapping having a third definition of an instance of the semantic type data in a data object used in the application floorplan is generated. A map is generated between a service parameter of the service and the semantic type mapping. The service is executed in the application floorplan using the map.
Abstract:
An embodiment of a method for interconnecting tubular sections includes the steps of vertically positioning a second tubular above a first tubular forming a seam defined by a bottom end of the second tubular and a top end of the first tubular; positioning a friction stir welder (FSW) proximate to the seam; aligning the first tubular and the second tubular to form a longitudinal axis; and guiding the FSW along the seam forming a weld joint.
Abstract:
A system and the method for transport of microscopic objects/particles involving the use of laser source operatively connected to a microscope objective which is adapted to generate optical focal spots on said particle(s) with asymmetric intensity profile in transverse plane followed by varying the said asymmetry of the gradient optical forces on the micron sized object/particles to thereby transport the microscopic object(s). The system and the method can be used to transport microscopic objects including i) transportation of cells and intra-cellular organelles, ii) acceleration of microscopic objects along any direction in a plane transverse to the direction of propagation of laser beam, iii) optical channeling of objects through a micro-capillary from one micro-well to another and transfer to another channel after desired processing, iv) sorting of microscopic objects, v) optical control of micro-machines, micro-fluidic devices etc.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for over the air provisioning of soft cards on devices with wireless communications capabilities are disclosed. According to one method, a soft card provisioning application is instantiated on a device with wireless communications capabilities. A card number for a soft card desired to be provisioned on the device is obtained from a user of the device. The card number is communicated to a provisioning configuration server over an air interface. Card-issuer-specific challenges corresponding to the card number and a provisioning issuer server network address are obtained from the provisioning configuration server. The challenges are presented to the user, and the user's responses to the challenges are received. A connection is made to the provisioning issuer server corresponding to the network address. The challenge responses are communicated to the provisioning issuer server. Soft card personalization data for activating the soft card is received from the provisioning issuer server. The soft card is provisioned for use on the device based on the personalization data.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for dynamically controlling a PSTN network element from an IP network element using signaling are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method may include receiving a first SIP message from an IP application server. The first SIP message may identify a call event trigger associated with a subscriber to a circuit switched network. In response to receiving the first SIP message, a first SS7 message identifying the call event trigger and the subscriber may be generated and routed to a circuit switched network node. A second SS7 message may be received that indicates triggering of the call event corresponding to the trigger. A second SIP message indicating the call event may be routed to the IP application server. A third SIP message may be received that specifies a PSTN call control function.
Abstract:
A method and system utilizing a peer mapping system call, called by a first process, to map allocated shared memory into the address space of a second process. Code for implementing the system call can reside in a server which provides services to map allocated shared memory into all the processes having access to shared memory or the code can be located in a library linked to all the processes having access to shared memory.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, system and computer program product for clustering data points and its application to text summarization, customer profiling for web personalization and product cataloging.The method for clustering data points with defined quantified relationships between them comprises the steps of obtaining lead value for each data point either by deriving from said quantified relationships or as given input, ranking each data point in a lead value sequence list in descending order of lead value, assigning the first data point in said lead value sequence list as the leader of the first cluster, and considering each subsequent data point in said lead value sequence list as a leader of a new cluster if its relationship with the leaders of each of the previous clusters is less than a defined threshold value or as a member of one or more clusters where its relationship with the cluster leader is more than or equal to said threshold value. The said relationships between data points are symmetric or asymmetric. Similarly, system and computer program product have also been claimed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an Insulator construct for controlling leaky expression of a lethal gene from enhancing functions of a strong constitutive promoter present in the said Insulator construct following integration into the genome of a plant and a method for development of male sterile lines in crop plants using the said Insulator construct.
