Abstract: Using language add-ins with one or more static extensibility points of an application host. The method includes searching for user code in a user code store. Some user code is found in the user code store. A determination is made as to the language of the user code from among a plurality of predefined languages. The user code is provided to a language provider for the determined language. A function invocation is received from an application host. The function invocation is matched to at least a portion of the user code. The at least a portion of user code corresponding to the function invocation is executed via the language provider.

Abstract: A fungi resistant asphalt is combined with a base sheet to form a fungi resistant asphalt containing sheet material. Typically, the base sheet is a fibrous base sheet that, by itself, may or may not be fungi resistant. The fungi resistant asphalt is at least partially absorbed by the base sheet to form the fungi resistant asphalt containing sheet material and typically forms one or both major surfaces of the fungi resistant asphalt containing sheet material.

Abstract: A kraft paper sheet contains and/or is coated with a fungi growth-inhibiting agent that causes the kraft paper sheet to be fungi growth resistant. The kraft paper sheet alone or as part of a layered sheet material is used as a central field portion of facings for various faced building insulation assemblies. The facings, as part of an insulation assembly, are fungi growth resistant; may be perforated to provide the facing with a selected water vapor permeance; and/or may include a bonding layer, such as a heat activated bonding layer, that bonds the facing to an insulation layer of the assembly.

Abstract: An application program interface (API) provides a set of functions for application developers who build Web applications on Microsoft Corporation's .NET™ platform.

Abstract: An automated micro-well plate handling device for removing a micro-well plate from within a vertically stacked plurality of micro-well plates and transferring the removable micro-well plate to a receiving area. A vertical storage device for storing the vertically stacked plurality of micro-well plates creates a vertical clearance space between the vertically stacked micro-well plates. A shovel slides into the vertical clearance space underneath the micro-well plate that is being removed. The shovel then removes the micro-well plate from the vertical storage device and places the micro-well plate at a transfer station. A gripper then grabs the micro-well plate from the transfer station and transfers the micro-well plate to a receiving area. In a preferred embodiment, the automated micro-well plate handling device is controlled via a computer network.

Abstract: A multi-layer reflective insulation system for walls, ceilings, floors, roofs and similar applications includes a sheet of multi-layer reflective insulation from a roll product. The sheet of multi-layer reflective insulation is a laminate that includes first and second pliable sheet layers with reflective major surfaces and a separation media, intermediate opposed major surfaces of the first and second pliable sheet layers, that holds the first and second pliable sheet layers in a spaced apart relationship relative to each other. The separation media creates air space between the opposed major surfaces of the first and second pliable sheet layers for the enhanced reflection of incident radiation and the emission of radiation by a reflective surface of the product.

Abstract: A generic nullable type that is capable of representing null values for reference, value, and other types in a uniform manner is described. The nullable generic type includes at least two portions: a container portion and a Boolean member portion. The container portion can hold other objects of other types, including both reference and value types. The Boolean member portion indicates whether the type held by the container has a value or not. Specifically, when the Boolean member is true, the values of the general type held by the container are valid. When the Boolean member is false, the values of the general type are invalid or undefined to represent an unspecified or null condition. Stack memory usage for the nullable type, a comparison of two objects of the nullable type, and an example database manipulation using the nullable type are also described.

Abstract: An application program interface (API) provides a set of functions, including a set of base classes and types that are used in substantially all applications accessing the API, for application developers who build Web applications on Microsoft Corporation's .NET™ platform.

Abstract: A faced fibrous insulation assembly includes: a fibrous insulation blanket whose fibers, preferably, are bonded together with a formaldehyde free binder; a facing formed by a kraft paper sheet material; and an asphalt coating layer on the inner surface of the facing that bonds the facing to the fibrous insulation blanket. The asphalt coating layer contains an odor-reducing additive in an amount sufficient to substantially eliminate odor that would otherwise be emitted by the asphalt coating layer without adversely affecting the adherent qualities of the asphalt coating layer. Preferably, the facing and the asphalt coating layer are fungi growth resistant.

Abstract: The facing of a faced building insulation assembly includes a central field portion that is or includes a kraft paper sheet. The kraft paper sheet contains a fungi growth-inhibiting agent that causes the kraft paper sheet to be fungi growth resistant. The kraft paper sheet may be perforated to provide the facing with a selected water vapor permeance, and/or may include a heat activated bonding agent that bonds the facing to the insulation layer of the assembly. The field portion of the facing may include a coating to stiffen the facing and/or decrease the flame spread and smoke formation characteristics of the facing.

Abstract: A first exemplary method implementation for designing an application programming interface (API) includes: preparing multiple code samples for a core scenario, each respective code sample of the multiple code samples corresponding to a respective programming language of multiple programming languages; and deriving the API from the core scenario responsive to the multiple code samples. A second exemplary method for designing an API includes: selecting a core scenario for a feature area; writing at least one code sample for the core scenario; and deriving an API for the core scenario responsive to the at least one code sample. A third exemplary method for designing an API includes: deriving an API for a scenario responsive to at least one code sample written with regard to the scenario; performing one or more usability studies on the API utilizing multiple developers; and revising the API based on the one or more usability studies.

Abstract: A load restraint for use in a container is disclosed. The road restraint comprises a support to locate and extend generally vertically within a first locating formation (such as a corrugation in a wall) within a container. A transverse member extends from the support member across the container to engage with a second locating formation (such as another corrugation). A load engaging member is secured to the transverse member to extend from the transverse member to engage a load within the container. The load engaging member is adjustable in position with respect to the transverse member whereby it can contact a load spaced from the transverse member over a range of distances.
