Abstract: Methods and apparatuses, including systems, for forming mycelium fabrics, manufacturing and/or production in large-scale mushroom farm facilities (e.g., commercial scale under an agroecological approach). These methods and apparatuses may allow the scaling-up of manufacturing of mycotextiles in a manner that is both cost-effective and respectful of the environment, including minimizing the production of harmful byproducts. These methods and apparatuses include adding a stabilized formulation containing growth inducers and functionalized nanoparticles to allow both fungal mycelium growth and in situ and in vivo nanocrosslinking.

Abstract: Page load time analysis. The analysis may allow a web page designer to determine improvements that could be made to the web page to decrease load time, and perhaps identify the modules or components that are critical paths in decreasing page load time. The analysis is performed based on the monitoring of multiple requests associated with a page request. The user may be notified of the graph or the results of analysis of the graph. The user may then determine whether the page load time can be improved.

Abstract: Ringed staple (1), or staple that when closed takes the approximate form of a ring, that presents a cross-section (3) with a substantially straight part (6) and a non-straight part (5), preferably curved circular. The non-straight part (5) corresponds with the exterior area (14) of the staple (1), whereas the substantially straight part (6) corresponds with the interior area (13) of the staple (1). The staple (1) requires less material and provides certain improved features than conventional staples (8, 10) with a substantially circular cross-section (9) or a substantially rectangular cross section (11).

Abstract: A method and apparatus implements bi-directional communications using the same or different physical media linking any two computing systems, nodes, employing routable protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, etc., connected to a common network, allowing bi-directional communication between them. One of the physical media preferably has a wider bandwidth in one direction than another one of the physical media operating in the other direction. The present invention also provides for optimizing traffic between any two nodes by appropriately selecting communication paths based on either bandwidth or costs. Communication between any two nodes can be split between several different physical or logical paths to either increase the effective transmission bandwidth or to provide communication redundancy.
