The pre-preg includes at least one layer of reinforcing fibres impregnated with a curable resin containing one or more curable thermosetting resin(s) and at least one liquid curative, wherein the curable resin exhibits a cure conversion of at least 95% when cured at a cure temperature in the range of from about 100° C. to about 160° C. and the cure cycle has a duration of no more than 10 minutes, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the curable resin when cured is in the range of from about 130° C. to about 165° C.

Abstract: An artificial neural network (ANN) apparatus can include processing component circuitry that receives linear inputs, and removes linearity from the one or more linear inputs based on an S-shaped saturating activation function that generates a continuous non-linear output. The neurons of the ANN comprise digital bit-wise components configured to transform the linear inputs into the continuous non-linear output.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plumbing fixtures, and more particularly to drain stopper assemblies used to control the flow of fluid through a drain opening of a sink or bathtub. More specifically, the present invention is a novel drain stopper device that can be attached or removed from a drain without the use of tools and without requiring a user to access the space underneath the drain. The device is preferably comprised of a drain stopper head portion having a repositionable push button in mechanical communication with a spring, a shaft and a pair of repositionable jaws such that the pair of jaws are repositioned to grip or release a pivot rod when the push button is repositioned between a first and a second position.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and a method of providing access to at least one password protected device (D1-D5) via a password management system (100). The password management system (100) comprises first and second password management servers (200), each comprising a memory for storing an active password and a reserve password. The first and second password management servers (200) communicate the active and reserve passwords via a communication link (220). Either one of the first and second password management servers (200) requests access to the password protected device using the active password stored in the memory, and if the active password does not provide access, requests access using the reserve password.
