Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and network traffic management apparatus includes determining whether at least one existing request should be removed from a request queue. At least one existing request stored in the request queue is identified by applying one or more queue management rules. The identified existing request is removed from the request queue and the current request is added to the request queue when it is determined that at least one existing request should be removed from the request queue.

Abstract: The technology described herein provides a molded trim assembly located externally at the top of a liftgate structure to provide an aerodynamic and stylish overhang above the liftgate glass. Furthermore, the technology also provides a liftgate exterior module including a plug-in module containing a motorized window wiper arm assembly, a central high mounted stop light, and a washer fluid spray nozzle.

Abstract: A flexible package for cutting blades. A flexible first layer has at least one cavity formed therein to form a base for receiving a cutting blade. A flexible second layer is arranged over the base and proximate the base. A seal is formed about the periphery of each cavity to encapsulate a cutting blade placed into the cavity, the seal being formed by applying a predetermined combination of heat and pressure to selected portions of the second layer to cause the adhesive thereon to selectively bond to the base. Movement of each encapsulated cutting blade is deterred during transport and handling by the cavity in cooperation with the seal and the second layer, the blades becoming movable within the cavity when the seal is broken.

Abstract: A flexible package comprises first and second flexible layers having substrates with groups of longitudinal spaced-apart adhesive strips disposed thereupon. The groups of adhesive strips are generally aligned with each other and joined together to form a plurality of generally monolithic longitudinal spaced-apart seal strips. A first transverse heat seal is formed along a first edge defined by the first and second flexible layers. A second transverse heat seal is formed along a second, opposing edge defined by the first and second flexible layers. At least one series of longitudinal perforations bisect at least one seal strip, and at least one series of transverse perforations are oriented generally parallel to and proximate one of the first and second heat seal. One or more objects are detachably and releasably contained by the package, the objects being disposed between the first and second flexible layers and located between the seal strips.

Abstract: An improved raster magnet driver for a linear particle beam is based on an H-bridge technique. Four branches of power HEXFETs form a two-by-two switch. Switching the HEXFETs in a predetermined order and at the right frequency produces a triangular current waveform. An H-bridge controller controls switching sequence and timing. The magnetic field of the coil follows the shape of the waveform and thus steers the beam using a triangular rather than a sinusoidal waveform. The system produces a raster pattern having a highly uniform raster density distribution, eliminates target heating from non-uniform raster density distributions, and produces higher levels of beam current.

Abstract: A memory storage device carrier 10 includes a face 16 and a handle 18 attached to the carrier 10. The handle 18 moves from a first position, where the handle 18 lies flush with the face 16 to a second position where the handle 18 extends from the face 16. A lock 22 mounts between the handle 18 and the carrier 10 to selectively lock the handle 18 in the first position. The lock 22 includes a housing, a spring and a lock surface 24. The lock 22 housing has a threaded exterior and a hollow interior. The spring mounts within the interior of the housing to bias the lock surface 24 against the handle. The threaded exterior of the lock 22 housing enables the depth of the threaded engagement of the lock 22 in the carrier to be adjustable. Adjustment of this depth is achieved by rotating the housing and such adjustment ultimately regulates the amount of force required to unlock the handle in either of the first and second positions, respectively.

Abstract: A cutting blade made of surgical stainless steel with a very small angled back hone, a small grind angle, a small angled front hone, and a reduced size included angle, which has an increased hardness that results in a longer lasting narrow edge geometry blade that has a reasonable cost with increased durability and accuracy, providing greater cutting precision, productivity and net yields, while reducing the compression of the blade and processing downtime.

Abstract: A liquid light guide system for ultraviolet light is disclosed that has a light shaping arrangement for the emitted light, a stable liquid core and sheath and reliable and effective end closures. The end closures include a metal crimping arrangement that utilizes two layers of deformable materials to prevent cracking of endplugs.

Abstract: A termination for a light guide having optical cladding tubing and a liquid core includes a volumetric change device configured to allow fluid flow out of the tubing whenever the liquid core expands and to allow fluid flow into the tubing whenever the liquid core contracts, an end plug fixed to the tubing to retain the liquid in the liquid core within the tubing and the end piece and a crimping piece for holding the end plug in place.
