Abstract: The description relates to ensuring redundancy of computer rack power supplies. One example can include a rack holding multiple computers and first and second leads associated with the rack. The example can also include a status component positioned in the rack and receiving power from the first and second leads to power the multiple computers. The status component configured to compare power received from the first lead and power received from the second lead to determine whether the first lead and the second lead are supplying power from two different power sources or from a single power source.

Abstract: A method to prevent formation of unfavorable sequelae includes initiating delivering a neural inhibiting therapy to a nerve associated with an extracardiac sympathetic nervous system of a patient within 40 days of an onset of symptoms associated with acute coronary syndrome. The neural inhibiting therapy includes delivering an electrical therapeutic signal to the nerve sufficient to substantially prevent neural activity of the nerve from occurring. The method also includes continuing delivery of the neural inhibiting therapy to the nerve associated with the extracardiac sympathetic nervous system for a desired treatment period and discontinuing delivery of the neural inhibiting therapy to the nerve after the desired treatment period and enabling neural activity of the nerve to resume.

Abstract: A turbine for a turbo-machine is proposed in which, at a gas inlet for a turbine wheel, vanes extend from a nozzle ring though slots in a shroud. The nozzle ring and shroud are relatively rotatable about a rotational axis of the turbine by at least 0.1 degrees. In use, the nozzle ring and shroud are relatively rotated to bring one side of the vane into close contact with one surface of the slot, to inhibit leakage of gas between the vane and the slot surface. For this purpose the respective surfaces of the nozzle and slot can be configured to closely conform to each other. If there is differential thermal expansion of the shroud and nozzle ring, the nozzle ring and shroud can relatively rotate, to withdraw the vane from the edge of the slot to relieve the pressure between them.

Abstract: A resilient connector for a negative pressure wound therapy system. The connector includes a first lumen having an entrance dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a projection of a canister adapter to provide fluid communication of the first lumen to a first portion of reduced pressure tubing and an exit dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a first projection of a dressing adapter to provide fluid communication of the first lumen to a second portion of reduced pressure tubing. The connector further a second lumen having an entrance dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a second projection of the canister adapter to provide fluid communication of the second lumen to a first portion of secondary pressure tubing and an exit dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a second projection of the dressing adapter to provide fluid communication of the second lumen to a second portion of the secondary pressure tubing.

Abstract: An advisor system includes a computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon a program of instructions. Execution of the instructions causes a processor to determine a current state of a first aircraft operating on a movement area of an airport including determining a path vector for the first aircraft. The path vector includes a speed and direction of travel of the first aircraft and identification of a runway intersection the first aircraft is projected to enter. The processor processes a surveillance signal transmitted from a second aircraft operating on the movement area, including determining a quality of the surveillance signal. The processor further determines a movement vector of the second aircraft, and compares the path vector and the movement vector to identify possible interference. Finally, the processor provides an advisory at the first aircraft based on the compared path vector and the movement vector.

Abstract: Techniques to manage retention policy tags are described. A system may comprise a tagging component operative to tag a message with an expiration tag to form an expiration tagged message, the expiration tag having expiration information used to expire the expiration tagged message in accordance with a retention policy. The system may further comprise a presentation component communicatively coupled to the tagging component, the presentation component operative to present a view of the expiration tagged message with an expiration field having the expiration information for the expiration tagged message. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A digital calendar sharing control and visibility system and method for providing a user with control and visibility of digital calendar sharing. The system and method enhance and improve the sharing capabilities of current digital calendar applications. The system and method include a time-based (or expiration) sharing feature that gives a user control over the expiration date of the calendar sharing. The user can expire the sharing after a certain duration or date. The user also can specify a date range or a time range that a person can view in the user's digital calendar. A sharing audits and history feature allows a user to view who has looked at their calendar and what calendar information has been viewed. A private notes section allows a user to enter information that will not be seen by another person, even if that person has sharing permission to view the user's calendar.

Abstract: A laminate structure for both packaging and non-packaging applications, including a five layer coextrusion composite containing an EVOH/polyolefin composite barrier layer coated or applied to a paper or paperboard substrate. The laminated structure may contain a layer of linear low density polyethylene or other layers, as needed for the application. The EVOH/polyolefin blend layer is preferably a blend of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer having 44% ethylene moiety and a low density polyethylene polymer. The blend barrier, which is part of a five layer coextrusion composite layer provides improved oxygen and moisture barrier characteristics to a package, prepared from such a laminated structure, as well as improved rigidity and heat resistance, thereby providing longer shelf life and excellent flavor retention to the stored contents as well as improved dimensional stability to the cartons, package or containers, at a reduced cost.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for generating three-dimensional objects to represent files in a three-dimensional environment. A primary classifier classifies stored files into groups based on a first set of properties and generates three-dimensional mesh objects to represent each file. The mesh objects are the same within each group and distinguish the files from group to group. A secondary classifier further classifies each group of files into sub-groups based on a second set of properties and deforms the mesh objects in each sub-group in a particular manner to distinguish files from sub-group to sub-group. Additional classifiers modify the deformed mesh objects to further distinguish files within each sub-group (e.g., by varying the shape, texture, animation, etc.). Each three-dimensional object can then be embedded into a three-dimensional graphical user interface as a selection tool that provides visual cues regarding the contents of a particular file.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for forming a circumferential skin surrounding a central cellular structure of an extruded honeycomb article. The method and apparatus may be used to produce defect-free skins and/or skins having large thickness and a high degree of particle alignment thereby preferably exhibiting CTE comparable to the extruded webs. These benefits are achieved by providing a die and method wherein a flow, Q, exiting any two active ones of a plurality of peripheral slots forming the skin is substantially equal. Also disclosed is a thick-skinned ceramic article having a thick extruded skin (ts?>5 tw?) with an I-value comparable to the webs.
