  • Patent number: 8775646
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for WS-Policy based web service controlling. The apparatus includes: a service policy repository for storing a plurality of Web Service policies; a service policy agent for receiving a request for a Web Service policy from a service consumer and for obtaining conditioning information that influences the Web Service policy; and a service policy conditioner for selecting corresponding Web Service policy from the service policy repository in accordance with the conditioning information. The service policy agent sends the Web Service policy to the service consumer.

  • Publication number: 20140138783
    Abstract: A magneto-resistive device having a large output signal as well as a high signal-to-noise ratio is described along with a process for forming it. This improved performance was accomplished by expanding the free layer into a multilayer laminate comprising at least three ferromagnetic layers separated from one another by antiparallel coupling layers. The ferromagnetic layer closest to the transition layer must include CoFeB while the furthermost layer is required to have low Hc as well as a low and negative lambda value. One possibility for the central ferromagnetic layer is NiFe but this is not mandatory.
