Abstract:
This invention relates to the synthesis of Al/SiC based functionally gradient materials using a new technique termed here as gradient slurry disintegration and deposition. Gradients of SiC were successfully established using this technique for the starting weight percentages up to 20%. The results were confirmed using microstructural characterization techniques and microhardness measurements. Functionally gradient materials synthesized using this method holds the promise where differential tribological characteristics and the strength/toughness combinations may be required from the opposite surfaces.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for mitigating duplication of multicast data streams to wireless client devices. The method comprises the operations of detecting, by one or more network devices, a multicast message, and controlling, by the one or more network devices, a forwarding of information within the multicast message to a network device handling multicast data transmissions. The forwarding is controlled based on information within the multicast message and the presence of such information in prior established data structure.
Abstract:
Scheduled programmatic multiplayer game content in a console service is provided. A plurality of multiplayer game events is scheduled. Each event has a fixed start time and fixed end time. Requests from users to participate in event are received and a determination is made as to whether users electing to participate in the game are eligible to participate. If the user is eligible to participate in the game, instructions are provided to a console to allow the user to participate in the game. If the user is not eligible to participate in the game, instructions may be provided to a console to allow a user to view activity in the game.
Abstract:
Additional synonym pairs are inferred from a pair of schema elements (of different schemas) mapped by a user, and the inferred pairs are added to a dictionary. According to one aspect of the present invention, a mapped pair is inferred as a synonym pair if the elements of the mapped pair cannot be mapped according to a program logic otherwise. According to one more aspect of the present invention, the parents of the mapped elements are also inferred as synonym pairs if sufficient peer (to the mapped elements) elements are already mapped or considered synonyms.
Abstract:
A method and system for providing value help features to input fields generated for dynamically selected columns is provided. A user interface element is generated for a dynamic key from the metadata. The user interface element has a name field and a value input field. A generic query having an attribute group is provided. The attribute group includes a name attribute, a code value attribute and an identifier value attribute. A sequence number is extracted from the metadata. It is determined from the sequence number that whether the user interface element is to be bound to the attribute group or not. A field type of the dynamic key is determined from the metadata. The name field is bound to the name attribute. The value input field is bound to the code value attribute if the field type is a code type. The value input field is bound to the identifier value attribute if the field type is an identifier type. Determining a query descriptor from the metadata. The query descriptor includes a first input parameter node and a first result node. The first input parameter node has a first attribute. The query descriptor is copied to a dummy query. The dummy query includes a second input parameter node and a second result node. The first input parameter node is identical to the second input parameter node and the first result node is identical to the second result node. The second input parameter node includes a second attribute identical to the first attribute. A screen is generated from the dummy query. The screen has a first input field bound to the second attribute and a result table bound to the second result node. A second input field is populated with a value of the second attribute from the second result node.
Abstract:
A method and system for querying a database are provided. A user interface element for a dynamic field is created wherein the user interface element comprises a name field and a value field. A generic query structure is provided wherein the generic query structure comprises an attribute pair. The attribute pair has a field name attribute and a field value attribute. The name field is bound to the field name attribute and a first entry from the name field is passed to the field name attribute. The value field is then bound to field value attribute and a second entry from the value field is passed to the field value attribute.
Abstract:
A reinforced solder is formed by mixing particles of a solder material capable of forming a metal matrix and a reinforcing particulate to form a particulate mixture; compressing the mixture at room temperature to form a solid compact; and sintering the compact to form a particulate composite in which the reinforcing particulate is embedded in a metal matrix formed from the solder material. The solder material can be a lead-free solder material. There is also provided a reinforced solder which includes a lead-free metal matrix and a reinforcing particulate embedded in the metal matrix. The metal matrix includes a combination of tin, copper, silver, and indium having volume ratios of about 91.4:0.5:4.1:4. The reinforcing particulate has an average diameter less than 100 nm. The reinforced solder has a melting point between 180° C. to 230° C.
