Abstract: A control system in a communication system comprising a server farm connected by means of Internet Service Provider routers to the Internet or the like. The server farm includes at least a customer WEB server and all server farm resources enabling any user connected to the Internet to access the customer WEB server by using the server farm resources. The server farm includes at least one Service Level Agreement (SLA) server for periodically monitoring the availability of a path to be used by the user to access the customer WEB server.

Abstract: The device for imaging finger prints has a transparent electrically insulating substrate, a thin transparent electrode on the substrate and a sensitive layer on the electrode comprising electroluminescent dielectric material, arranged to receive hand tissues whose print is to be imaged. A source means connected to said electrode applies a voltage between the electrode and tissues. A camera provides a picture taken through the substrate.

Abstract: A technique for permitting continued use of IP (Internet Protocol) routing protocols in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network is implemented in each ATM system having route-computing responsibilities. When a call setup request is received, the routing system determines, from the ATM address of the target system, whether a routing protocol must be implemented. If a routing protocol must be implemented, data in an ACN (ATM Cluster Number) field and an HN (Host Number) field in the target ATM address is read and is imported into an IP-format address. This IP-format address is used in implementing the IP routing protocol.

Abstract: A process for coating a substrate and a coated substrate are disclosed. In a typical embodiment of the invention, a coating composition containing a capped polyisocyanate is first deposited on the substrate followed by applying, before curing the first composition, a second coating composition containing 1,2-epoxy functionality. This method of coating is referred to as wet-on-wet coating. The coated substrate is then heated in one step to cure the multilayered coating.
