Abstract: Disclosed and claimed herein is a composition for forming a spin-on hard-mask, having a fullerene derivative substituted with an amine and a crosslinking agent. The formulation is drain compatible with other solvents used in the semiconductor industry.

Abstract: An intermediary function receives a reservation request for a desired throughput from the sourcing device, and determines a set of bearers whose aggregate throughput approximates the desired throughput. The intermediary function requests from at least one access network the set of bearers whose aggregate throughput approximates the desired throughput, and receives from the at least one access network an allocated set of bearers, wherein the allocated set of bearers comprises one or more bearers. The intermediary function informs the sourcing device of an aggregate throughput of the allocated set of bearers, receives user plane data from the sourcing device, and associates the user plane data with the allocated set of bearers in order to transport the user plane data to the receiving device. Subsequent modifications to the allocated set of bearers causes the intermediary function to inform the sourcing device of the modified aggregate throughput of the allocated set of bearers.

Abstract: A policy enforcement device performs a method for adjusting video compression parameters for encoding source video based on a viewer's environment. The method includes: receiving, from a video receiving device, a video stream identifier indicating a video stream and a source of the video stream, wherein the video receiving device is remote from the source of the video stream; receiving an indication of environmental conditions of a viewer of the video stream using the video receiving device; determining a set of video compression parameters based on the indication of environmental conditions of the viewer; sending the set of video compression parameters to the identified source of the video stream to enable encoding of the video stream to a different compression level.

Abstract: A communication console station links a plurality of communication resources (101, 103, and 105) for use by an operator. Incoming calls are placed in an incoming-call queue (207), calls on hold are placed in a holding queue (209), and all available communication resources are placed in a resource queue (211) The operator presses a single button (303, 305, or 307) to obtain the top resource from the associated queue (207, 209, or 211), which lists resources according to a predetermined priority.
