Abstract: Provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions comprising Ibuprofen using solventless mixing methods. Excess coating material that is not bound to coated Ibuprofen may be removed by a sieving process. Coating and dosing ratios can also be optimized to minimize the amount of excess unbound coating material. Additionally, the compositions can be formulated to preserve the functional coating of coated Ibuprofen and to minimize aeration of Ibuprofen when mixed into suspension.

Abstract: Laminate structures and configurations of fiducials for laminates structures for electronic devices are disclosed. Fiducials are formed in laminate structures to provide increased visibility and contrast, thereby improving detection of the fiducials with optical detection equipment of automated machines commonly used in the electronics industry. Fiducials are disclosed that are defined by openings in laminate structures that extend to depths within the laminate structures to provide sufficient contrast. Openings for fiducials may be arranged to extend through multiple metal layers and dielectric layers of the laminate structures. The fiducials may be formed by laser drilling or other subtractive processing techniques.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides electromagnetic shielding for integrated circuit (IC) modules. First, a precursor package with a number of IC modules is provided. The precursor package is then placed onto a chemical resistant tape. After a sweller process and a desmear process are performed, the chemical resistant tape is removed. Next, the precursor package is singulated to form a number of individual IC modules. The individual IC modules are placed onto a carrier tape, such that a bottom surface of each individual IC module is covered by the carrier tape, and a top surface and side surfaces of each individual IC module are exposed. A shielding structure is applied completely over the top surface and the side surfaces of each individual IC module. Herein, the shielding structure is electrically coupled to a ground plane within each individual IC module.

Abstract: A method for enabling Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing in a transport network. The method comprises defining a network segment template; instantiating a respective network segment template for each node+link segment of the transport network; and connecting the link area of a first template instance to the node area of a second template instance using a remote ABR. The network segment template comprises a node area for enabling OSPF routing between addresses within a node of the transport network; a link area for enabling OSPF routing between the node and an adjacent neighbor node in the transport network; and a host Area Boarder Router (ABR) connected to the node area and the link area. The host ABR is configured to generate summary Link State Advertisement (LSA) messages containing a summary of addresses in the node area, and forward the summary LSA messages through the link area.

Abstract: Techniques for storage lifecycle policy management. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for storage lifecycle policy management comprising creating a version of a storage lifecycle policy, associating a unique version ID with the created version of the storage lifecycle policy, associating the unique version ID with one or more portions of backup data created during a storage management job instantiated under the created version of the storage lifecycle policy, and ensuring that one or more storage management actions performed on the one or more portions of backup data comply with the created version of the storage lifecycle policy associated with unique version ID.

Abstract: A method and network for adapting a network management protocol (e.g., TL-1) for various transmission protocol terminologies (e.g., SDH and SONET). A network element operates in one transmission protocol mode and sends network management messages to a network management device in a managing terminology based on another transmission protocol mode. The network management device then translates the network management messages to be presented in a user interface at the network management device to an operating terminology based on the operating transmission protocol mode used by the network element.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a network element to support protection switching in an optical network are described. The network element can operate according to the SONET, SDH, or both optical transport standards. Each tributary card of the network element has a baseline set of triggering parameters for supporting each protection scheme of both optical transport standards. A baseline parameter set for a given protection scheme has those triggering parameters that are common to SDH and SONET optical transport standards. One or more additional triggering parameters may be needed by a tributary card to complete the implementation of a particular protection scheme. These additional triggering parameters can be sent to the tributary cards, as needed, to supplement the baseline parameter sets.

Abstract: A system and method for routing operations, administration, and maintenance traffic for an optical network are described. A subset of a routing information set is transmitted to tributary cards of a network element. The tributary cards route operations, administration, and management traffic based on the subset of the routing information.

Abstract: Described is a network element for a communications network. Management communications with the network element occur using a single IP address. The network element includes two shelf processors each having a negotiations module. One of the shelf processors has a master status and the other shelf processor has a slave status. A backplane in communication with the shelf processors allows the negotiations modules to exchange data and to determine whether one of the shelf processors has experienced a fault. If a fault is determined in the master shelf processor, the slave shelf processor becomes the master shelf processor and the master shelf processor becomes the slave shelf processor.

Abstract: A method and network for delivering management software from a network element to a client computer so that the client can configure and manage the network element. The network element includes a master software load and a management software load. The master software load includes software instructions for: enabling the client to log into the network element; and, if the client successfully logs into the network element, forming a management connection between the client and the network element and transferring to the client a current version of management software for execution on the client. The client can then host and execute the management software so that a user can direct operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) of the network element.

Abstract: This invention provides a small diameter snare device and device for thrombus removal consisting of a hollow, elongate, thin-walled outer sheath. A single central core wire extends through the entire length of the sheath. The outer diameter of the core wire is sized close to the inner diameter of the sheath while allowing for axial sliding, in order to maximize the support to the body portion of the snare device. A tool tip or “capture segment” at the distal end of the sheath and core wire can be controllably expanded to engage a thrombus and remove the thrombus from the blood vessel.
