Abstract: Application access to locally and remotely exported file systems is coordinated to allow caching data for exported file systems accessed by remote clients. In response to a request or file system access, it is determined whether the request relates to a locally exported file system or a remotely exported file system. If the request relates to a locally exported file system, a local access routine is invoked to obtain access permissions to the locally exported file system. If the request relates to remotely exported file system, a remote access routine is invoked to communicate with a local access routine in a file server responsible for coordinating access to the remotely exported file system to obtain access permissions to the remotely exported file system.

Abstract: A disposable device is provided which accurately and reliably delivers an infusable liquid to a patient. The infusion device includes a housing which defines a bladder chamber. A compressible bladder is disposed in the bladder chamber and is compressed by the housing upon filling the bladder with an infusable liquid to create a pressurized bladder. The infusion devices further includes a delivery system for subcutaneously delivering the infusable liquid to a body. The delivery system includes a collapsible member that supports an injection needle and a cannula. The injection needle is used to insert the cannula into the skin of the body being treated. The cannula is in communication with the bladder during delivery of the infusable liquid. The housing includes microfluidic passageways that allow communication between fluid in the bladder and the cannula.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for distributing Transport Control Protocol (TCP) connections to a specific data processing system in a cluster of data processing systems by establishing a TCP connection between a client and a first data processing system in the cluster of data processing systems. The information is obtained from the client over the TCP connection to the first data processing system. The information obtained over the TCP connection to the first data processing system is evaluated to select a target data processing system in the cluster of data processing systems for the TCP connection. The TCP connection is transferred from the first data processing system to the selected target data processing system. The transfer of the TCP connection is transparent to the client.

Abstract: Carbamate compounds of the formula:R.sub.1 --O.CO.NHO.CO.X.CO.OHN.CO.O--R.sub.1 (1)in which CO.X.CO is the diacyl radical of a polybasic carboxylic acid, and R.sub.1 is an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl radical; more particularly, X is a member of the group consisting of a direct link, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkylene groups, C.sub.2 to C.sub.3 alkenylene, o-phenylene and p-phenylene and R.sub.1 is a member of the group consisting of C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl, phenyl, chlorophenyl, nitrophenyl, cyclohexyl and benzyl.These carbamates are useful as cross-linking agents in natural rubbers or synthetic rubbers based on isoprene or butadiene polymers.

Abstract: A process for the cross-linking or chain extension of hycrocarbon polymers which contain ethylenically unsaturated groups which comprises forming an intimate mixture of the polymer with a carbamate of the formula: ##STR1## WHEREIN R.sub.1 is an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl radical, m is an integer, and A is H or an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl radical of valency m, and subjecting the mixture to heat.Novel compounds of preferred use include those in which m=1 and at least one of R and A is alkyl or 7 or more carbon atoms, or in which m=2 and A is phenylene or alkylene or alkenylene of 2 to 4 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Poly-carbonyloxyurethanes of the formula:A O--CO--NH--O--CO--R!.sub.n (1)wherein A is a linking group to which the oxygen atoms are attached at alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl carbon atoms, n is an integer of value at least 2, and each R which may be the same or different, is the residue of a monobasic carboxylic acid of formula R--COOH, and their salts, especially salts with cations based on teritary amines, are useful cross-linking or chain-extending agents for natural or synthetic polymers, or may be used as adhesives for binding these materials to each other or to metal substrates.
