The tool used for machining has a diameter greater than the semi-diameter of the aspheric surface, and contact area between tool and workpiece surface is rings.

Abstract: A laser with a hexagonal semiconductor microdisk to solve the problems of a low quality factor of a hexagonal whispering-gallery mode and light exiting difficulty of a triangular whispering-gallery mode is disclosed. Based on physical characteristics of stimulated radiation of gain materials with a high refractive index, the apparatus uses a distributed Bragg reflection layer to reduce an optical loss of a microcavity laser, and uses a hexagonal semiconductor microdisk as an optical resonator and laser gain material. As an optical pump source, the laser provides an optical gain, and when the gain exceeds a microcavity laser threshold, generates laser light for exiting. By controlling a laser spot of the pump source to be located at a corner of the hexagonal microdisk, the laser light in a double-triangular whispering-gallery optical resonance mode is generated after stimulated radiation for exiting.

Abstract: Under the present invention a definition file and an object file are provided. The definition file includes a defined syntax for managed object descriptions, while the object file contains a description of a particular desired object. When a process is started (or re-started), the files are automatically read and the description in the object file is automatically validated based on the defined syntax in the definition file. Once validated, the description is used to automatically create a managed resource from which a managed object can be created.

Abstract: A meta-data driven method and apparatus to manage configurations of coexisting heterogeneous subsystems. The present invention recognizes that schemas evolve incrementally from version to version. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention employs two stages: an identification specification stage, to identify and/or specify any changes in a heterogeneous distributed system, and a configuration validation stage, to implement and/or validate the changes thus identified or specified. In the first stage, the identification specification stage, the present invention programmably compares the next version of the schema from its previous version. This allows meta-data to be created that describes how a schema component evolves from version to version. In addition, a user may specify what appears in the schema.

Abstract: A system and method for distributing management events to external process is presented. A notification listener registers with a client notification service that resides locally with the notification listener. The registration includes one or more notification types in which the notification listener wishes to be notified. The client notification service configures a remote proxy located on a server to provide notification events to the client notification service that have one of the notification types. The remote proxy receives notification events from a server notification service, and provides the notification events to the client notification service. In turn, the client notification service provides the notification events to the notification listener. The remote proxy may be configured for push processing or pull processing.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media to automatically deploy an, e.g., a JS2EE file between environments are disclosed. Embodiments include hardware and/or software for selecting one or more applications in an original system for export. The applications along with their corresponding application data, configuration data, and descriptor files, are compressed into one or more archive files such as Enterprise Archives (EARs). Variable configuration data associated with the target environment is identified so the values of the variable configuration data can be adapted for the target environment. Then, the target environment is adapted for installation of the application and the application is installed in the target environment. Advantageously, this deployment of the application may reduce the chance of user error, require less J2EE knowledge and script maintenance, and complete faster than deployments effected manually.
