Abstract: A method for producing high pressure laminates (HPL) with an embossed-in-structure texture on the surface. In the method, a first structure embossed on the surface of the HPL is in perfect alignment with a second identical structure printed on the decor sheet of the HPL.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a distributed scalable hardware independent system that supports multiple functions regarding management and support of communications over a packet-based network. The communications supported by these methods and systems include, but are not limited to, Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VOIP”), voice over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (“ATM”), video conferencing, data transfer, telephony, and downloading video or other data. These methods and systems use a call agent, which is composed of various objects distributed along a CORBA software bus, for exercising call management over two endpoints communicating over a packet-based network.

Abstract: An access point 220 is provided with an access link 212 to a first host 210. The access point 220 has a first link 231 to a wide area network 230 which is the Internet backbone. Packets are communicated on the wide area network 230 using a best effort scheme at an uncontrollable, unpredictable and fluctuating rate. Neither the first host 210 nor the access point 220 are capable of selecting or controlling the rate at which packets are transmitted on the wide area network 230. The access point 220 also has a second link 261 to a guaranteed bandwidth network 260. The access point 220 is able to, on demand, establish a continuous bandwidth channel on the guaranteed bandwidth network 260 with an arbitrary other access point 240, to which another host 250 is connected, at a particular continuous packet transfer rate. The first host 210 can generate a packet requesting that the access point 220 establish a continuous bandwidth session with a second host 250.
