Abstract: Systems and/or methods that facilitate controlling access to memory regions in a memory component(s) are presented. A memory component can comprise an access management component that can facilitate controlling access to memory regions that can be respectively associated with authentication credentials. The access control component can facilitate access of a memory region when received authentication information matches authentication information contained in a security record associated with the memory region. The access management component can facilitate a wipe erase of a memory region(s) to facilitate secure removal of information from the memory region when predetermined criteria is satisfied. The access management component can facilitate locking a memory region when a maximum number of attempts to access a memory region are unsuccessful to facilitate security of the memory regions and/or data associated therewith, where a locked memory region remains locked until a reset is performed.

Abstract: Systems and/or methods are presented that can facilitate controlling access to secure memory blocks within a memory module. The subject innovation can employ key components that can contain two or more storage locations for authentication information that can facilitate controlling access to secure memory block components. Secure memory block counter components can be employed to indicate which storage location within the key component contains current authentication information associated with the respective secure memory block components. The disclosed subject matter allows for multiple secure memory block components to have separate authentication information to provide more than one user or entity to store data in their own secure memory block component. Multiple storage locations associated with the key components to substantially alleviated or eliminate the loss of secure areas of a memory module if power is lost during the updating of the authentication information associated with the secure areas.

Abstract: An optical fiber organizer for organizing a plurality of uncut optical fibers of an optical fiber cable, comprising a plurality of optical fiber storage trays, the construction of the organizer being such that: (a) the uncut optical fiber(s) of each single optical fiber circuit; or (b) the uncut optical fibers of each single optical fiber cable element; may be stored separately from the optical fiber(s) of each other circuit or element, on respective individual storage trays.

Abstract: A kit of parts for forming an optical fiber organizer comprises at least two different modules selected from: (i) a storage module comprising a support plate supporting at least one optical fiber storage means; (ii) a breakout module comprising a support plate supporting at least one optical fiber breakout means; and (iii) a guide module comprising a support plate supporting a plurality of projections between which optical fibers may be guided. Each module is attachable either directly or indirectly to each other module such that their support plates are arranged side-by-side and thereby together form a larger support plate. The organizer may be housed in an optical fiber cable splice closure.

Abstract: A cable seal insert for sealing a cable entry in a closure, including:(a) at least two plates, each of which, at least in use, has extending therethrough at least one aperture for a cable; and(b) sealing material located between the plates;wherein a peripheral surface of the seal insert which is substantially parallel to the or each cable aperture is substantially planar, and at least one of the plates is formed from non-elastomeric material.

Abstract: Gels of oil-extended methacrylate-alkylene-methacrylate (M-A-M) triblock copolymers having higher glass transition temperatures than known styrene-alkylene-styrene triblock gels. The preferred M-A-M triblocks for making the new gels have polymethylmethacrylate end blocks and butadiene or ethylene/butylene mid-block, and are synthesised by methods in the public domain (inter alia Shell EP-A-0431706). Includes gels of new triblocks having end blocks of higher alkyl (e.g. isobornyl) methacrylate homopolymer or copolymers. Mixed methyl- and higher alkyl-methacrylate end blocks are preferred to reduce gel-formation problems which may arise from solubility parameter of homo-isobornylmethacrylate end blocks being too close to that of extender oil. Includes gels of new multi- (preferably penta-) block copolymers including styrene (S) blocks, e.g. M-S-A-S-M.

Abstract: The invention provides for a thermoset or thermoplastic gel composition containing a polymer with anhydride groups along the polymer backbone at least at outset of the fabrication process and an extender fluid, optionally including thermally conductive fillers. The gel compositions are useful for sealing wires, vibration dampening, sporting goods, and toys.

Abstract: Gel compositions comprising styrene-(ethylene/propylene)styrene (SEPS) block copolymer having Mw of at least 180,000 and polystyrene content of 25-45 weight percent, and at least 300 parts by weight percent, and at least 300 parts by weight of extender liquid per 100 parts by weight of the block copolymer. The extender softens the ethylene/propylene mid-blocks of the copolymer and the resulting gels have unexpectedly higher tack, temperature resistance, and extender-retaining ability than corresponding gels made with styrene(ethylene/butylene)-styrene block copolymers.

Abstract: Gels made of 100 parts of Styrene-elastomer-styrene triblock copolymers and more than 300 parts of an oil which softens and extends the elastomer mid-block of the copolymer are rendered resistant to oil exudation under pressure by incorporation of a styrene-elastomer diblock copolymer. Preferred triblocks are styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene and preferred diblocks are styrene-ethylene/propylene. Use of the gels as sealants in enclosures for electrical connections designed to hold the gel under compression is disclosed.
