Abstract: A filter assembly that includes a filter housing with a housing interlocking feature, a filter cover with a filter cover interlocking feature, and a filter element with a filter element interlocking feature is disclosed. The filter element is positionable within the filter housing, and the filter cover is attachable to a top portion of at least one of the filter element and the filter housing. The housing interlocking feature, the filter cover interlocking feature, and the filter element interlocking feature are interlockable with each other and extend in a nonplanar configuration along at least one side of the filter element when the filter housing, the filter cover, and the filter element are assembled together.

Abstract: Systems and method for providing remote access to service applications created within an application framework. For each of the controls in the application framework, a wrapper is provided to enable remote-access to the control. An integration component includes proxies that communicate to each the rapper, a proxy manager that communicates to the service application, and a state manager that registers views and event handlers to communicate application state information. A remote access server application receives a connection from a client remote access application executing on the client device, and state information is communicated between the service application and the client remote access application to provide a view of the service application at the client device.

Abstract: A method of chemical processing includes passing a substrate material from a first transfer conveyor device to a second transfer conveyor device across a fluid reservoir so that a first surface of the substrate contacts a fluid within the reservoir and a second surface of the substrate is substantially untouched by the fluid within the reservoir and the first and second transfer conveyor devices are placed substantially outside of the reservoir.

Abstract: A computer implemented management domain for controlling the production of low volume advanced technology articles of manufacture is provided. The management domain includes an information library, an integrated manufacturing intelligence, and an interrogation network which includes a plurality of analyzers. The information library includes a plurality of databases, each of which include objects of an object schema. Objects of the object schema of any one database are linked or linkable to dependent objects of objects of an object schema of another of the databases. The integrated manufacturing intelligence includes a plurality of processors for processing data of the databases. Each analyzer of the plurality of analyzers executable with regard to an advanced technology article of manufacture and/or any object of the objects of said object schema of the databases.

Abstract: Novel storage area networks (SANs) and methods of operation thereof utilize a plurality of hosts coupled via an interconnect with one or more storage units. A manager device, process or other functionality in communication with a plurality of agent processes, devices or other functionality, each of which is associated with a host. The agents identify attributes of (i) their associated hosts, (ii) interconnect to which that host is coupled, and/or (iii) storage units to which that host is coupled via the interconnect. The manager responds to these attributes identified by the agents to manage the SAN. The manager can be implemented on a first digital data processor and the hosts on further digital data processors. These digital data processors can be coupled via a first network, e.g., an IP or other network, to support communications between the manager and the agents. A second network, e.g.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a compact optically side-pumped solid-state laser with an optimized overlap between the mode of the laser beam propagating in the laser material and the pump beam. Using a common pump volume, the compact solid-state laser can simultaneously emit laser beams at different wavelengths. The laser can be combined with nonlinear optical elements to provide a RGB three color laser architecture suitable for color projection display applications.

Abstract: The invention provides moldable, biodegradable composition for use with bone and other tissues. The composition comprises a poly(caprolactone) thermoplastic polymer processed alone or compounded with a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that controls crystallization of the polymer and functions to soften the composition. The composition may further include a biologically-active agent such as an antibiotic for sustained delivery in an animal, a coloring agent for tinting the composition, and other additives as desired.
