Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium of an integration platform for bidirectional communication with heterogenous networked systems via an integrated frontend interface, the method including transmitting a frontend interface for display to a user, embedding a second interface within the frontend interface, detecting an event in the second interface of the frontend interface, determining that the event corresponds to the second entity computer system based at least in part on detecting the event in the second interface of the frontend interface, transforming the event into a second entity event that is interpretable by the second entity computer system, and transmitting the second entity event to the second entity computer system over the computer network.

Abstract: An absorber for radiation of frequency of the order of 1 THz is formed of a body of cured silicone-based elastomer containing an inert, powdered siliceous filler. Both the elastomer and the filler are electrically insulating and the surface of the absorber that is exposed to the radiation is preferably profiled to enhance absorption of the radiation. The profiling preferably takes the form of an array of sharp-pointed pyramids having rectangular or triangular bases. A method of moulding such absorbers is also disclosed.
