Abstract: A complex event query specification may be constructed that a complex event processing engine uses to analyze an event stream for an occurrence of a complex event. Event data stored in a distributed file system are mapped to respective instances of the complex event processing engine in respective distributed event streams. The distributed event streams are analyzed by the independently executing complex event processing engines in accordance with the complex event query specification. The occurrence of the complex event in any of the distributed event streams is indicated at the output of the complex event processing engines.

Abstract: A device and method of its production for a micro-channel thermal absorber to be used as a solar thermal collector, heat collector, or heat dissipater, extruded or continuously cast in one piece or in modular segments from a metal, plastic, or glass and assembled into panels of different structures seamlessly integrated into the envelope of a building as covering layers or structural elements. The micro-channel thermal absorber comprises an active plate, a back plate adjacent to the active plate, and a plurality of micro-channel walls arranged substantially perpendicular to the active plate and the back plate to define a plurality of fluid transport micro-channels configured to allow fluid flow there-along, wherein the micro-channel walls constitute supporting elements between the active plate and the back plate to provide structure.

Abstract: A dpi formulation comprises a solvate of beclomethasone with a non-cyclic, straight or branched C5-C7 hydrocarbon. The solvate particles are of size 0.5 to 10 microns and are obtained by crystallization of the steroid in the presence of ultrasound.

Abstract: A dpi formulation comprises a solvate of beclomethasone and is substantially free of excipient and free of carrier. The solvate particles are of size 0.5 to 10 microns and are obtained by crystallization of the steroid in the presence of ultrasound.

Abstract: A nebulizer formulation comprises particles of size 0.5-3 microns obtained by crystallization of beclomethasone diproprionate monohydrate in the presence of ultrasound.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method of and machine for stitching a thong to an upper in a machine for the manufacture of footwear in which the vamp is sewn to the upper by leather thongs, in which a barbed needle on a ram reciprocating in a fluid operated cylinder is passed through preformed pairs of shaped holes in the material to be thonged, applying a thonging thread to the needle and applying fluid to one end of the cylinder to draw the needle and the thonging thread through the vamp and the upper, withdrawing the needle and moving the material to receive the needle through a succeeding pair of holes on the material and applying fluid to the opposite end side of the ram and re-passing the needle and thonging thread through the vamp and upper for succeeding stitches, an air line being connected to each end of the cylinder with a control valve to regulate the air flow.

Abstract: An automatic self-regulating water control arrangement in a unique structural planter configuration that is suited to an economical and yet fool-proof method of manufacturing. A vacuum control in combination with capillary action is necessary to properly dispense the moisture required, and the final sealing of the water reservoir provides the secure vacuum means needed and permits conclusive testing of the vacuum before putting into use.
