Abstract: A method for preparing a siloxane-(meth)acrylate macromonomer is provided. The method includes hydrosilylation, hydrolysis, and condensation. By-products of the method may be recycled to produce additional siloxane-(meth) acrylate macromonomer. An exemplary siloxane-(meth)acrylate macromonomer prepared by the method is 3-(1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxan-3-yl)propyl methacrylate.

Abstract: An application migration planning manager is provided for scanning and reporting compatibility information of stored application files, followed by conversion of selected files from a first application version format to a target application version format. A scanning module scans selected files to determine whether the scanned files are formatted according to application versions that may be incompatible with target application versions. A reporting module reports the compatibility data for the scanned files. If scanned files include multiple versions of a given document or data, the scanned files may be passed to a version extraction module for stripping the files of all but a single version of the given document or data. Each stripped version may be saved as a separate additional file. The version-stripped files and the saved additional files then may be reported back to the reporting module for further processing.

Abstract: Enabling an organization to control user assignments and assessment results while enabling a proprietary provider to maintain control over both network distribution of proprietary content comprising the assignments and use of proprietary assessment functions that evaluate the user's performance of the assignments. A student uses a browser to submit a request to a learning management system (LMS) that includes a URL to a network node hosting the proprietary learning content and assessment functions. The LMS sends a hidden form to the browser, causing the browser to automatically redirect to the network node. The proprietary provider then controls distribution of the proprietary learning content to the browser and controls the student's interaction with the proprietary learning content to accomplish the assignment. When the student submits responses to the assignment, the proprietary provider performs proprietary assessment functions and redirects only results data to the LMS through the browser.

Abstract: High strength, high conductivity copper alloy wire and a cable therefrom and method for manufacturing same, wherein the copper alloy contains chromium from 0.15-1.30%, zirconium from 0.01-0.15% and the balance essentially copper. The alloy wire is heat treated, cold worked to an intermediate gage, heat treated, cold worked to final gage, and finally heat treated.

Abstract: High strength, high conductivity copper alloy wire and a cable therefrom and method for manufacturing same, wherein the copper alloy contains chromium from 0.15-1.30%, zirconium from 0.01-0.15% and the balance essentially copper. The alloy wire is heat treated, cold worked to an intermediate gage, heat treated, cold worked to final gage, and finally heat treated. A major portion of the chromium and zirconium are present as precipitated, sub-micron sized particles in a copper matrix. In addition, the wire has a gage of 0.010 inch or less and a tensile strength of at least 55% ksi, an electrical conductivity of at least 85% IACS, and a minimum elongation of 6% in 10".
