摘要:
This invention relates to a glass melting furnace with downward firing oxygen-fuel burners placed in the breast walls of the combustion space and adjacent to the skew block. The downward firing oxygen-fuel burner may be placed at an angle so that the oxygen-fuel flame from the downward firing oxygen-fuel burner impinges on the upper surface of the glass bath. The placement and angle of the downward firing oxygen-fuel burner may maximize the amount of heat transferred to the batch cover or the molten glass, ensure the formation of high quality glass products, and protect the integrity of the downward firing oxygen-fuel burners and the glass melting furnace.

An edge-covering based greedy method for shared filter ordering includes receiving a plurality of queries, wherein each query is a conjunction of filters, and each filter is shared across multiple queries of the plurality of queries, evaluating a unit price of each filter, evaluating, sequentially, each filter in order of a lowest to a highest unit price, to determine a value for each filter, and changing an ordering of the filters according to the values.An edge-covering based harmonic method for shared filter ordering includes receiving a plurality of queries, wherein each query is a conjunction of filters, and each filter is shared across multiple queries of the plurality of queries, evaluating a weight of each filter, evaluating, randomly, each filter having a probability inversely proportionally to its weight, to determine a value, and changing an ordering of the filters according to the values.

A system and method for packet traceback in a network includes maintaining an identity number (ID) for each node in a network and generating a signature (e.g., a message authentication code (MAC)) using a secret key shared between each node on a forwarding path and a sink. Each forwarding node leaves a mark by appending its ID and a signature in the packet, either in a deterministic manner or with a probability. Upon receiving a packet at the sink, correctness of the signatures included in each packet is verified in the reverse order by which these signatures were appended. A last valid MAC is determined in the forwarding path to determine the locations of compromised nodes that collude in false data injection attacks.

Methods are provided for the preparation of a sample using a digital microfluidic platform and the optional subsequent mass analysis of an extracted analyte. A sample is dried, optionally on a solid phase support, and contacted with digital microfluidic array. An analyte present within the dried sample is extracted into an extraction solvent by electrically addressing the digital microfluidic array to transport a droplet of extraction solvent to the dried sample spot. The extracted sample may be dried and subsequently processed on the digital microfluidic array for derivatization. The digital microfluidic device may further include an integrated microfluidic channel having an output aperture, and the method may further include contacting a droplet containing extracted analyte with the microfluidic channel and applying a suitable electric field for generating nano-electrospray, thereby enabling the device to be directly interfaced with a mass analysis device.

A system may include an overlay network linking a plurality of publishers, a plurality of subscribers, and a plurality of brokers. The overlay network may include a first computer network having a first network protocol carried by a second computer network having a second network protocol. The system may also include an agent carried by each of the publishers, the subscribers, and the brokers that adjust the network's topology based upon collected runtime data of condition of each link within the network and/or broker availability to any publisher and subscriber.

An approach is provided for context-based coupon sharing. A coupon management platform receives a request specifying an exchange of one or more coupons. The request includes, at least in part, one or more attribute-condition pairs associated with the one or more coupons, one or more participants of the exchange, or a combination thereof. The coupon management plat form determines context data associated with a first user, at least one device associated with the first user, at least one second user, at least one other device associated with the at least one second user, or a combination thereof. The coupon management platform then causes, at least in part, processing of the one or more attribute-condition pairs, the context data, or a combination thereof for initiating the exchange between the first user and the at least one second user.

A method for association of a mobile terminal with an access point (AP) includes determining a set of available APs. The AP from among the available APs that has the coverage area that is likely to encompass the mobile terminal for the greatest period of time or distance is selected. The selected AP is associated with the mobile terminal.

Devices and methods are provided for performing droplet-based solid phase processing steps on a digital microfluidic device. A solid phase material, which may be a porous solid phase material such as a porous polymer monolith is formed or located on a digital microfluidic element. The solid phase may be formed by an in-situ method in which the digital microfluidic array is actuated to transport a droplet of solid phase pre-cursor solution to a selected element on the array, and subsequently processed to form a solid phase on the array element. The integration of a solid phase material with a digital microfluidic array enables a wide range of applications including solid phase extraction and sample concentration.
