Abstract: Various techniques and apparatus permit fabrication of superconductive circuits. A superconducting integrated circuit comprising a superconducting stud via, a kinetic inductor, and a capacitor may be formed. Forming a superconducting stud via in a superconducting integrated circuit may include masking with a hard mask and masking with a soft mask. Forming a superconducting stud via in a superconducting integrated circuit may include depositing a dielectric etch stop layer. Interlayer misalignment in the fabrication of a superconducting integrated circuit may be measured by an electrical vernier. Interlayer misalignment in the fabrication of a superconducting integrated circuit may be measured by a chain of electrical verniers and a Wheatstone bridge. A superconducting integrated circuit with three or more metal layers may include an enclosed, matched, on-chip transmission line. A metal wiring layer in a superconducting integrated circuit may be encapsulated.

Abstract: A method, computer-readable medium, and user interface for displaying an inquiry indication related to an inquiring user's inquiry are described. An inquiring user prepares and submits an inquiry in an inquiry application. Upon preparing and submitting an inquiry, a notice of the inquiry is generated and routed to the inquiring user's network contacts. An inquiry indication is generated to notify network contacts that an inquiry has been submitted by the inquiring user. A network contact may select the inquiry indication to display an inquiry feature and may select an inquiry feature to view the inquiry and respond to the inquiry.

Abstract: A computer system having servers and coupled to a network supports a distributed directory and a directory monitor service. The monitor service may include a domain analyzer and domain model at each of several servers; and, a network administrator and network model on an enterprise server of the network. A domain analyzer monitors the network to detect messages associated with directory operations initiated or performed by the same or another server in the network. Methods performed by one or more servers predict system and network failures. One such method includes receiving a first message, receiving a second message, and conditionally raising an alert condition. The first message indicates the beginning of a replication of a portion of a directory and indicates a beginning time. The second message indicates completion of the replication of the portion of the directory and indicates an ending time.

Abstract: A wall-forming panel (10) for insertion into the interior of an aircraft, the panel having a frame (12) with an outer surface (14) defining a cavity. A shroud (42) is dimensioned to fit within the cavity (44) and movable on an axle (84) between an opened position and a closed position, the closed position substantially enclosing the shroud (42) within the walls of the frame (12). A latch means (86) positively but releasably retains the shroud (42) in a closed or an opened position. The latch means (86) is comprised of a cam (144) and a cam release mechanism (172). The shroud (42) is dimensioned to receive a monitor (82) such as a small television screen, therein, and is powered by an electric motor drive (122).
