Abstract: A method for processing a dual phase steel sheet. The method includes heating the steel sheet to a first temperature (T1), cooling the steel sheet to a second temperature (T2), transitioning the steel sheet to a third temperature (T3), and cooling the steel sheet to room temperature. T1 is at least above the temperature at which the steel sheet transforms to austenite and ferrite. T2 is below the martensite start temperature (Ms). The cooling rate to T2 is sufficiently rapid to transform at least some austenite to martensite.

Abstract: A method for reducing the number of images or the length of a video from a digital image collection using a social network, includes receiving a digital image collection captured by a user to be viewed by a viewer; wherein the viewer and the user are members of the same social network and using a processor to access the social network to determine a relationship between a viewer and the user. The method further includes using the processor to determine a set of summarization parameters based on the relationship between the viewer and the user and using the processor to reduce the number of images or the length of the video from the digital image collection using the determined set of summarization parameters to be viewed by the viewer.

Abstract: A system and method for communicating DisplayPort information is provided. The system includes: a local unit comprising a local controller operable to produce a request packet in response to a DisplayPort request received by the local unit from a DisplayPort source unit and to transmit the request packet to a remote unit of the system via a first simplex channel of a dual simplex communications link; and the remote unit comprising a remote controller operable to produce a reply packet in response to a DisplayPort reply received by the remote unit from a DisplayPort sink unit and to transmit the reply packet to the local unit via a second simplex channel of the communications link. The system allows distances between the source and sink greater than otherwise possible under the DisplayPort specification, and can communicate DisplayPort and non-DisplayPort signals via a variety of types of communications links.

Abstract: The invention is test apparatus and methods for performing loopback tests. The tests involve generating a packet-based test message having a source address and a destination address. When the test message arrives at the destination, the addresses are exchanged and the message is returned to the source. The addresses can be level 2 addresses, such as MAC addresses, and/or level 3 addresses, such as IP addresses. The returned message and the propagation properties observed for the test message can be used to determine information about the network being tested.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for storing and using recovery state information during a data stream transfer, such as a download. During the download of compressed, archived data, the system tracks the position of the last file boundary and the position of the last compression block boundary before the last file boundary, and the system stores this information as a recovery state. If the download is interrupted, the system uses the recovery state information to resume the download at an efficient location in the data stream.
