Abstract: A coating composition which imparts antifog, antireflective, easy-cleaning, and/or antistatic properties to substrates coated therewith. The coating compositions utilize nanoparticles funtionalized with amine groups and/or protected amine groups, and amine-reactive groups.

Abstract: The failure of a first application server instance of a cluster can be detected and transaction recovery service can be automatically migrated from the first application server instance to a second application server instance without requiring rebooting the first application server instance.

Abstract: Disclosed is a magnetic shielding gasket, comprising a conductive foam substrate exhibiting resilience and recoverability and having a first surface, a magnetic layer attached to said first surface of the conductive foam substrate and wherein the magnetic layer exhibits magnetic permeability, wherein the initial magnetic permeability of the magnetic layer is greater than 1000 @ 0.1 A/m and the maximum magnetic permeability of the magnetic layer is greater than 5000 @ 0.1 A/m. Also disclosed is a method of filling a gap in an EMI shielded system.

Abstract: A shielding article including a substantially conductive layer; and a substantially magnetically permeable layer adjacent the conductive layer. Embodiments of the invention can feature the substantially conductive layer and the substantially magnetically permeable layer as collectively providing electromagnetic shielding characteristics.

Abstract: A method and a system for setting a domain name and a network device thereof are provided. In the invention, the network device includes built-in identification information, and the identification information is stored in a back-end database. When the network device receives a domain name, it transmits setting information to a server device. Then, the server device queries the identification information in the back-end database according to the setting information to authenticate the network device. After the network device passes the authentication, the server device maps the domain name to an Internet protocol address. Therefore, a step of registering an account and a password is omitted to simplify a procedure of setting the domain name.

Abstract: The failure of a first application server instance of a cluster can be detected and transaction recovery service can be automatically migrated from the first application server instance to a second application server instance without requiring rebooting the first application server instance.

Abstract: Semi-aromatic copolyamides and copolyester-amides are obtained by placing an aliphatic polyamide into contact with an aromatic hydroxyacid or aminoacid, by operating at high temperature, under melting conditions, possibly in the presence of a catalyst, with a ratio of the monomer units of aliphatic polyamide to the mols of aromatic hydroxyacid or aminoacid comprised within the range of from 20:1 to 1:1.The semiaromatic copolyamides and copolyester-amides so obtained can display a thermotropic liquid-crystal behavior as a function of their content of aromatic units linked inside the molecular chain. Their elastic modulus results to be improved relatively to the alifatic polyamides used as the starting product, and the elongation at break results to be decreased.Such semiaromatic polyamides and copolyester-amides can find application in the production of high-stiffness articles, by means of moulding or extrusion processes.
