Abstract: A network device to selectively filter the exception data units based on the type of the exception data units. The network device generates a first threshold value for a first type of exception data units and a second threshold value for a second type of exception data units. The first threshold value and the second threshold value are determined based on the weight factors associated with each the first type and the second type of exception data units and a scratch pad threshold value. The network data unit determines the type of exception data units and a scratch pad fullness value and filters the first type and the second type of exception data units based on the first and the second threshold values.

Abstract: The blood collection set includes an IV needle assembly, a length of flexible plastic tubing extending from the IV needle assembly and a non-patient needle assembly. The set is formed with a venting mechanism that permits an outflow of air, while blocking an outflow of blood or other fluids. Thus, the venting mechanism enables air that had existed in interior portions of the blood collection set to be vented allowing for greater flash visualization on venous entry, and avoids the need to employ a discard tube.

Abstract: Embodiments of guaranteed timeslot usage management in wireless networks are described.

Abstract: A process to deposit metal silicon nitride on a substrate comprising: sorbing a metal amide on a heated substrate, purging away the unsorbed metal amide, contacting a silicon-containing source having one or more Si—H3 fragments with the heated substrate to react with the sorbed metal amide, wherein the silicon-containing source has one or more H3Si—NR02 (R0?SiH3, R, R1 or R2, defined below) groups selected from the group consisting of one or more of: wherein R and R1 in the formulas represent aliphatic groups typically having from 2 to about 10 carbon atoms, e.g., branched alkyl, cycloalkyl with R and R1 in formula A also being combinable into a cyclic group, and R2 representing a single bond, (CH2)n, a ring, or SiH2, and purging away the unreacted silicon-containing source.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a run-time scheduler that schedules tasks for database queries on one or more execution resources in a dataflow fashion. In some embodiments, the run-time scheduler may comprise a task manager, a memory manager, and hardware resource manager. When a query is received by a host database management system, a query plan is created for that query. The query plan splits a query into various fragments. These fragments are further compiled into a directed acyclic graph of tasks. Unlike conventional scheduling, the dependency arc in the directed acyclic graph is based on page resources. Tasks may comprise machine code that may be executed by hardware to perform portions of the query. These tasks may also be performed in software or relate to I/O.

Abstract: Systems and corresponding methods are provided for determining when a content page contains out of date content items as a result of changes made to the content items, which systems comprises a template engine operative to generate a content page comprising content items that are associated with time stamp information to indicate the last time the content item was modified. One or more dependency records are generated to store information regarding the relationship between content items that comprise the content page and the content items stored in the data source, which is compared with time stamp information contained in the data source for each content item, to determine through the comparison those content pages that contain content items that have been modified in the data source, and to instruct the template engine to re-generate the content page.

Abstract: A method for forming a metal silicate as a high k dielectric in an electronic device, comprising the steps of: providing diethylsilane to a reaction zone; concurrently providing a source of oxygen to the reaction zone; concurrently providing a metal precursor to the reaction zone; reacting the diethylsilane, source of oxygen and metal precursor by chemical vapor deposition to form a metal silicate on a substrate comprising the electronic device. The metal is preferably hafnium, zirconium or mixtures thereof. The dielectric constant of the metal silicate film can be tuned based upon the relative atomic concentration of metal, silicon, and oxygen in the film.

Abstract: A method of displaying alphasyllabaries by way of appropriately shaped building blocks that represent individual character components of the scripts, and an apparatus for Total word forming and word building in alphasyllabaries using a minimum number of such building blocks, such that orthographic accuracy of the words formed/built in relation to the script and conformity with the alphabetic-syllabic nature of the scripts are maintained. The method and apparatus include a structured means to house the building blocks in a sequence or grid of spaces, with each space comprising of a closed shape within a closed shape and capable of housing a simple syllable or a complex syllable. The inner closed shape typically houses an independent vowel or consonant, and the area between the inner closed shape and the outer closed shape typically houses the dependent characters (diacritics).

Abstract: The invention is a self-venting blood collection needle assembly for the extraction of at least one fluid sample into an evacuated container for laboratory testing, this blood collection needle assembly providing a clear or translucent flashback chamber for blood to flow into, for visualization by the user to confirm successful vein entry. The self-venting mechanism permits escape of air during use, and which, typically, also prevents an outflow of fluid, such as blood. Thus, air under venous pressure will be allowed to escape from the blood collection needle assembly until blood reaches the venting mechanism.

Abstract: A method for producing a ceramic coating of metallic and/or ceramic surfaces and products in reactors, process plants and combustion plants includes applying a mixture of fine-particle boron nitride, at least one inorganic binding agent of medium particle size in the nanometer range, containing substantially Al2O3, AlO(OH), ZrO2, Y—ZrO2, TiO2, Fe2O3 and/or SnO2 or an associated precursor compound and at least one solvent and/or water onto a metallic and/or ceramic surfaces or product, and burning the applied mixture into a coating through heating.
