Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a multilayer data medium having reflecting metallized inscriptions (23) visible from at least one outer surface (11). A basic pattern (24) is imprinted onto a transparent impression layer (21), the pattern being selected so as to be able to receive the inscriptions (23), to be transparent and to have a surface tension of more than 40 dynes/cm and a smooth surface condition with specular reflection of more than 50% measured according to the ISO 2813 standard at an angle of 60°, and no glass-transition temperature in the rolling temperature range; then the inscriptions (23) are imprinted in contact with the basic pattern (24), and then hot rolling under pressure of a stack including the impression layer (21) is carried out.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a cleaning tool, a tool system, and specific tool head designs. The disclosure is useful for cleaning fryers in restaurants.

Abstract: Methods, devices and computer program products for self partitioning a data network are provided. A network device that is using an address of another network device is identified, the network is automatically partitioned to eliminate the potential conflict, and address conflict resolution is initiated. Partitioning the network may include closing a port over which the routing packet was received from the network device that advertised the conflict, or may include closing the logical connection to that network device. A routing database may be cleared of information previously received from the network device that advertised the conflict so that no routes exist through that device any more. Conflict resolution may include assigning a different address to the network device identified as having a conflicting address, and then allowing the identified network device to communicate with other network devices using the newly assigned address.

Abstract: Molding compositions particularly useful in coating electronic devices such as integrated circuits are disclosed. The molding compositions include an epoxy resin; a hardener for the epoxy resin, and a quaternary organophosphonium salt for catalyzing a reaction between the epoxy resin and the hardener, such as ethyl triphenyl phosphonium acid acetate. The molding compositions may further include a flame retardant compound such as melamine cyanurate. In a further embodiment, the molding composition may include an additional catalyst, such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. Integrated circuits encapsulated with such molding compositions exhibit reduced electrothermally induced parasitic gate leakage.

Abstract: Configurations for a cellular user interface are provided. In one embodiment, a client configuration includes a viewer and a content development kit. A content server distributes cellularized content among several client viewers. Connectors in a scheduled configuration regularly acquire updated content from data sources. An integration server interfaces between the connectors and the content server for distributing content. A monitoring agent assists with content updating upon detecting source changes. A registration server enables cell content update in client viewers through the content server. Cells in the cellularized environment include a visual proxy component and a metadata component. The visual proxy component can be configured for displaying different content at various levels of detail. The metadata component enables intelligent organization and display of content through queries, channels, and data updates.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for integrated content presentation via cells arranged geometrically in a cellular environment. Users can navigate various orientations and zoom states of the cellular environment to access information via different applications, different media types, different visual representations and from different underlying content sources. The information can be organized according to various logical relationships. Upon receiving an indication of a zoom state associated with a cell or a group of cells arranged in the cellular environment, a content reference at that zoom state is retrieved. Further, the content reference is resolved to retrieve and output content, including a visual representation associated with the zoom state.

Abstract: A lightweight, low cost solution provides inter process communications (IPC) in a network processing environment. A method of inter process communication (IPC) between General Purpose Processors in a network processing environment uses software based functions (Application Program Interfaces (APIs)) that enable inter process communication between processors in a network processing environment. The software enabled functions open and close inter process communication paths for transmitting and receiving of inter process communication frames and allow the inter process communication frames to be transmitted to one or several processors in said network processing environment. The software has the capability of selecting either data or control path in said network processing environment to transmit or receive said inter process communication frames.
