Abstract: A broadcast system provides support for clients to receive transmissions over a unicast or a multicast channel from a broadcast server. A server administrator configures each of a first server and client systems connected to the server to receive data in one of a multicast or unicast transmission mode. An empirical test determines whether an intervening network can support the configured mode and if not, transmission is performed using a fall back mode. The first server is able to provide access to data streams from other servers to the client systems connected thereto. Upon requesting a data stream from another server, the first server receives the data stream, replicates the data stream, transmits the data stream to the requesting client system and stores the replicated data stream for immediate access by any requesting client server connected thereto.

Abstract: The method of manufacturing a natural ester, oil-based electrical insulation fluid by contacting refined, bleached, optionally winterized, and deodorized natural ester oil, e.g., soy oil, with an absorbent is improved by using as the absorbent a synthetic silicate absorbent comprising an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal, e.g., magnesium.

Abstract: A method for handling a product, in particular a viscous, pasty product, with at least one rotating shaft (3, 11) in a product space (5), a driving spindle (11) of the shaft (3) is mounted and sealed outside the product space (5) in a housing consisting of a plurality of parts (7, 8, 12). The sealing is brought about by at least two seals (2, 4), wherein a dynamic seal (2) follows an eccentric movement of the shaft (3) and takes on dynamic sealing of the rotating shaft (3), while another seal (4) compensates for an eccentric movement of the shaft (3) in relation to the housing by plastic or elastic deformation and therefore prevents a leakage between the housing part (12), which moves eccentrically, and a rigid housing (10).

Abstract: A method for treating a mixture in a single-shaft or multi-shaft mixer (M), especially a kneader-mixer, especially for preparing a spinning solution. A solvent or solvent mixture is added to the product over the length of a product chamber in order to reduce a viscosity of the solvent or of the mixture and to increase an evaporative capacity. The viscosity of the solution or of the mixture is determined and/or modified in predetermined locations in the product chamber.

Abstract: A process for thermal separation of a solution comprised of a thermoplastic polymer and a solvent involves heating a solvent under pressure above a critical point of the solvent; decompressing the heated solvent in a first vessel, such that a polymer-rich and a low-polymer phase form; and supplying the polymer-rich phase to a second vessel. In embodiments, on entry into the second vessel, a pressure jump occurs, the pressure jump leading to a thermal flash in the second vessel such that a polymer part of the polymer-rich phase rises to at least 70%, and a resulting polymer-rich solution is provided.

Abstract: A system and a process for a session layer protocol allows a large number of client machines to receive a reliable data stream over inherently unreliable multicast connections in a highly efficient and scalable manner. More specifically, streaming of high-quality video, audio, stock and news tickers, or any other application specific data that requires a reliable data stream is described. The streaming allows for the source to instruct individuals to drop their connection to the stream to prevent noisy individuals from disrupting the operating efficiency of the stream.
