  • Cationically stabilized aqueous silica dispersion, method for its production and its use
    Patent number: 7938902
    Abstract: Cationically stablished aqueous silica dispersion, method for its production and its use. A method is described for the production of cationically stabilised silica in which silica is cationically stabilised in the form of an aqueous dispersion or a powder by mixing with an acid aminosilane solution. A cationically stabilised silica powder may be obtained by removing the solvent. The cationically stabilised silica dispersion obtained is highly storage stable. Mixing with organic binding agents such as PVA is possible without a significant increase in viscosity. The dispersions are particularly suitable for coating slips for printing media, such as inkjet paper, but also for the surface treatment of substrates, e.g. for the hard coating of plastics, or in parting compounds or abrasives and polishing agents.

  • Service mobility management system using XML security and the method thereof
    Patent number: 7921295
    Abstract: A system for managing service mobility using an extensible Markup Language (XML) electronic signature. A mobility interface stops and stores the operation of a service being currently performed. Before the service is moved, a service serializer serializes service state information and converts it into an XML form which is attachable to an electronic signature. An XML security manager creates an XML electronic signature for the Manifest file of the Java ARchive (JAR) file of a service bundle, attaches the serialized service state information to the XML electronic signature, and records it. A service installer transmits the signed JAR file to an Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) framework that has requested that the service be moved.
