Abstract: A pharmaceutical product. The pharmaceutical product includes a container constructed from a material containing one or more of polypropylene, polyethylene, and ionomeric resins. The container defines an interior space. A volume of a fluoroether-containing inhalation anesthetic is contained in the interior space defined by the container.

Abstract: A flexible non-PVC, non-DEHP polyolefin container or bag for medical fluids has an elongated container body formed of polyolefin film. The container has one or more ports equipped with a polyolefin fill tube and port closure assembly. The container includes a concave seam on at least one of its longitudinal sides.

Abstract: Drag reduction of hydrocarbon fluids flowing through pipelines of various lengths is improved by polyolefin drag reducer dispersions or dispersions using bi- or multi-modal particle size distributions. Drag reducers having larger particle sizes dissolve more slowly than drag reducers having smaller particle sizes. By using at least bi-modal particle size distributions drag reduction can be distributed more uniformly over the length of the pipeline where smaller sized particles dissolve sooner or earlier in the pipeline and larger sized particles dissolve later or further along the pipeline.

Abstract: Rendering images on a video graphics adapter, the method including receiving in the video graphics adapter a video graphics command including a window identification (‘WID’) value and simultaneously, in accordance with the video graphics command and in dependence upon the WID value, rendering video frame data to a frame buffer and WID data to a WID buffer. Typical embodiments include configuring the video graphics command to include the WID value. In typical embodiments, the WID value represents an index to a pixel type in a window attribute table.

Abstract: A hand held electrical appliance operable from an AC mains supply. The appliance having a first switch connected in series with the mains supply, and a second switch operatively associated with the first switch and connected in series therewith. The appliance is only operable when both the switches are operated. The appliance includes a low voltage transformer, and a relay connected to the output of the transformer via the second switch and energisable thereby. The switchable contacts of the relay being in series with the first switch.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are provided for peer-to-peer computer software installation. Embodiments include receiving, by an observing install agent running on an observing host from a test install agent running on a test host, performance information describing the performance of software installed on the test host; determining, by the observing install agent, whether the performance information meets performance criteria for the observing host; and if the performance information meets the performance criteria for the observing host, installing the software on the observing host. In some embodiments, determining, by the observing install agent, whether the performance information meets performance criteria for the observing host is carried out by determining, whether the performance information meets performance criteria for the observing host in dependence upon a rule.

Abstract: A method of communicating with a remote site on a network by establishing different user personas respectively associated with different remote sites on the network, each user persona containing one or more attributes used in accessing the remote sites, and then accessing a specific one of the remote sites using the attributes in a specific one of the user personas that is associated with the specific remote site. The specific remote site can be associated with the specific user persona by a universal resource locator (URL), e.g., for web sites on the Internet, and the accessing is automatically performed in response to matching of the URL of the specific remote site to the URL associated with the specific user persona. A default persona can be used for any remote site having no specifically associated user persona.

Abstract: An electrical plug (1) comprising a prong (4) extending from a body (3), said prong having a tip segment (5) at its free end, a base segment (7) at its other end, and an intermediate segment (6) therebetween, each segment being insulated from each other, said tip segment and said intermediate segment adapted for carrying current, said plug having wire connection means extending into said prong, said plug adapted to be inserted into a socket (2) and then subsequently rotated such that at least a portion of said intermediate segment engages with a first current carrying contact member housed within the socket, and wherein said intermediate segment comprises at least two equally spaced apart wings (8) each of which is adapted to carry current and at least one of the wings is adapted to contact the first current carrying contact member.

Abstract: A method of preparing a polymer under predetermined temperature conditions comprises conducting the polymerization within a closed reaction chamber configured such that most or all of an inner surface has heat exchange capability. The chamber's dimensions are such that the polymerization mixture contacts the effective heat exchange surface sufficiently to ensure that the temperature throughout the polymerization mixture does not vary more than a few degrees from a desired temperature. In one embodiment the chamber is formed of two adjacent, parallel heat exchange plates, wherein at least one plate has a peripheral lip which, in contact with the opposing plate, forms the closed chamber. Multiple plates can be arrayed to form multiple chambers, and each chamber's polymerization temperature, as well as resident polymerization mixture, can be individually predetermined.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions in a data processing system for managing window identifiers for different layers. A request is received to create or change a window, wherein the received request includes a set of attributes. A determination is made in response to this request as to whether a shareable window identifier is present in the layer, wherein the sharable window identifier has correct attributes matching the set of attributes for the window. This determination is made if the request is made to create a window. If a shareable window identifier is absent, a determination is made as to whether a free window identifier is present in the first layer. A determination is made as to whether a free window identifier plane is present in another layer if a free window identifier is absent in the first layer. If a free window identifier plane is present, the free window identifier plane is assigned to the layer for use to create the window.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing colors in a color table used in displaying graphics. A request is received for a color map. A color map location is set in the color table, wherein the color map location has a starting point. An identification of the starting point for the color map is placed in an entry in a window attribute table. The colors for the color map are loaded into the color table. The starting point of the color map at the color map location is identified using the window attribute table.

Abstract: A closure for use closing the fin panel of an associated gable top carton includes a pair of opposing side walls each defining a free end and being connected to one another at an opposing end by a bridge wall. The closure is pivotally mountable to the upstanding fin and extending along at least a portion of the fin panel. The closure is pivotal between a closed position wherein the side walls are urged over the fin panel to engage and compress separable portions of the fin panel together when the dispensing opening is closed, and an open position in which the side walls are pivoted away from the fin panel to disengage the separable portions of the fin panel to open the dispensing opening.
