Abstract: A barrier spout having a base flange and an upstand portion. The base flange has a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer surface. The upstand portion has a proximal end extending from the base flange terminating at a distal end. An upper opening is defined at the distal end, and a lower opening is defined at the proximal end. The base flange and the upstand portion each comprise a three layer co-molded configuration including an outer layer, an inner layer and a central layer. The central layer has an oxygen transmission rate that is less than an oxygen transmission rate of either of the outer layer and the inner layer.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement for a pole assembly having a tubular base, a tubular upper mast of smaller diameter, and a cladding. An end of the upper mast is inserted within an end of the base and a portion of the base overlaps the upper mast and is fastened thereto, with the cladding surrounding the base. The sealing arrangement comprises a transition ring and a seal assembly. The transition ring surrounds a portion of the base, upper mast and cladding. The transition ring having an internal downwardly facing surface, and the seal assembly is disposed within said transition ring to seal between the external surface of the upper mast and the transition ring. The seal assembly comprising a sealing plate and a seal disposed between the downwardly facing surface and the sealing plate, and the sealing action of the seal assembly is actuated by the sealing plate squeezing said seal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention is directed to a data structure in conformance with a database schema for accessing and managing content managed data and to a system, a method and a computer program product for creating the database schema. According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for creating a database schema for accessing and managing content managed data comprising the steps of: creating a base schema; creating a write schema; and creating a read schema; the database schema used by a business logic application to access and manipulate the content managed data in the database. Embodiment of the present invention manages changes to the data using the write schema and the read schema rather than by using a modified base schema.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a computer system, method and apparatus for making intelligent recommendations for dynamic content caching. In one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a computer implemented method for generating intelligent caching recommendations related to dynamic web content for use on a caching system. The method comprising extracting data associated with the dynamic content of interest in accordance with a predetermined data model. Next analyzing the extracted data in accordance with a plurality of certainty factors and a rule based expert system. Completing the analysis and generating a set of caching recommendations from the analyzed data suitable for use by the caching system. Implementing the recommendations in the caching system are repeated iteratively, as in a loop, automatically generating intelligent caching recommendations related to the dynamic web content for use on the caching system.

Abstract: The invention reduces the system processing and user response time spikes normally associated with cache flushes and adds to the effectiveness of the cache returned to service through pre-loading of cache data on a staging server. Statistical data is captured representative of application data usage and analyzed in accordance with customizable rules. Candidate data for caching is determined from the statistical data and pre-loaded onto the staging server. This pre-loaded, staged data is then pushed into the production data cache, thereby reducing downtime of the cache.
