Abstract: The present invention provides a method of and apparatus for implementing changes within a data system. The method receiving a request including one or more objects to be imported into a data system, creating a back up request comprising a copy of the objects included within the request, implementing the back up request in the system to generate a modified back up request including a log of the objects modified in the request, storing the modified back up request. This allows a log of changes to objects in the data system to be generated using a copy of a request including a list of changes to the objects. Once the modified back up request has been generated the request may be imported into the system.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a power source in a vehicle that has an engine and an electric machine operable to provide torque to start the engine, includes the step of setting a first discharge power limit for the power source that is at least partly based on the power capability of the power source. A second discharge power limit for the power source is also set. The second discharge power limit is higher than the first discharge power limit, and it is a function of at least the power capability of the power source and the first discharge power limit.

Abstract: A mold-tool system (10), comprising: a first component (12) defining a first passageway (13) configured to convey, in use, a flowable molding material; a second component (14) defining a second passageway (15) configured to: (i) be in fluid communication with the first passageway (13), and (ii) convey, in use, the flowable molding material. A wear-resistant assembly (16) contacts, at least in part, the first component (12) and the second component (14).

Abstract: A mold-tool system (100), comprising: a nozzle tip assembly (200) having a tip-body assembly (206), the tip-body assembly (206) being configured for reduced axial tilting, at least in part.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a laminate substrate includes top layers, bottom layers, and a core layer. The top layers are positioned between the core layer and a top surface metallurgy (TSM) layer and include at least one top conductive layer. The bottom layers are positioned between the core layer and a bottom surface metallurgy (BSM) layer and include at least one bottom conductive layer includes a material void pattern that is based upon the top conductive layer and reduces warpage of the laminate substrate.

Abstract: A mold-tool system (100) comprising a body (102) defining a melt-transfer channel (104). The body (102) has a variable heat transfer property.

Abstract: One or more embodiments may include a trip planning system for planning a trip based on the charge of an electric vehicle battery. The trip planning system may include one or more computers located remotely from an electric vehicle which may have one or more battery packs for powering the electric vehicle. The computer(s) may be configured to receive geographic parameters defining a trip and a battery charge status of the one or more electric vehicle battery packs. The computer(s) may be further configured to determine that the trip cannot be completed based on the battery charge status. The computer(s) may additionally be configured to present a battery charge requirement for completing the trip.

Abstract: A device, method, and system for a piston assembly are disclosed herein. A piston may have an outer circumferential groove. A semi-rigid ring seal may be sized and shaped to fit within the circumferential groove. The semi-rigid ring seal may provide a seal between the piston and a bore of the piston. The semi-rigid ring may be positioned during assembly within the outer circumferential groove without stretching the semi-rigid ring.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product in a logical partitioned data processing system are disclosed for providing a host bridge that implements extended error handling (EEH). If all devices coupled to the host bridge implement EEH, the host bridge is initialized to operate in EEH mode. In EEH mode, the devices handle any error that occurs within the devices without reporting the error to the host bridge. All partitions that share the host bridge continue to operate without being terminated while the devices are handling the error. If at least one device does not implement EEH, the host bridge is initialized to operate in non-EEH mode. In non-EEH mode, a machine check is generated by the host bridge when an error occurs within one of the devices resulting in the termination of all partitions that share the host bridge in response to a receipt of the machine check.

Abstract: The secondary sides of PCI bridges are connected by inverting the normal bridge sense that defines a bridge's transparency window so that memory accessible on the secondary side is implied, as opposed to being implied on the primary side.

Abstract: A flexible web guiding apparatus including; a turnaround roller; a pinch roller positioned in driving engagement with said turnaround roller and defining a nip therebetween; and a web guide for accurately directing an end of the web into the nip defined by the turnaround roller and the pinch roller to cause the web to move between the pinch roller and the turnaround roller without stubbing against either roller. The accuracy of the web guide is achieved by wear plates that are affixed to the web guide and spaced apart to permit the web to move therebetween. The wear plates are maintained in friction contact with the turnaround roller for controllably maintaining the spacing between the web guide and the turnaround roller.

Abstract: Small, closely spaced deposits of solder materials may be formed with high volumetric accuracy and uniformity of shape by depositing a layer of conductive material over surfaces of a dielectric layer having apertures or recesses (e.g. blind apertures) and conductors and/or pads exposed by those apertures or recesses, masking regions of the conductive material with a further patterned dielectric layer, electroplating solder materials onto regions of the conductive material exposed by the mask, removing the mask and portions of the conductive material by selective etching and reflowing solder away from at least a portion of the surfaces of the apertured dielectric layer. Uniformity of electroplating within blind apertures is enhanced by a combination of fluid jet sparging and cathode agitation. Excess conductor material in the resulting solder deposit can be avoided by replacing conductor material with a constituent component of a solder material in an immersion bath prior to electroplating.

Abstract: Phosphate values of high purity and concentration may be efficiently recovered from a wide range of phosphatic-mineral-containing materials including as-mined phosphate ore by leaching such ore with a dilute aqueous mixture of sulfuric and hydrochloric or nitric acid, and precipitating phosphate values as dicalcium phosphate. This product, which is already suitable for use in animal feed and agricultural fertilizer, can also be readily converted to the many other agricultural and industrial phosphate products without costly purification operations or means of control of pollution to the surrounding environment.
