Abstract: A node may contain a secure store agent. A process executing on the node may request connection information from the secure store agent. An encryption key phrase may be accessed, responsive to the request for connection information, to decrypt the requested connection information. The requested connection information may be obtained from a secure storage file in a file system.

Abstract: The light-radiating semiconductor component has a radiation-emitting semiconductor body and a luminescence conversion element. The semiconductor body emits radiation in the ultraviolet, blue and/or green spectral region and the luminescence conversion element converts a portion of the radiation into radiation of a longer wavelength. This makes it possible to produce light-emitting diodes which radiate polychromatic light, in particular white light, with only a single light-emitting semiconductor body. A particularly preferred luminescence conversion dye is YAG:Ce.

Abstract: A system and method for enhancing event correlation with exploitation of external data is presented. A correlation engine receives events and selects a correlation rule that corresponds to the events. The correlation rule includes an event selection, a trigger condition, and a correlation conclusion. The correlation engine uses the event selection to access external data and select events based upon the external data. In turn, the correlation engine monitors the selected events and checks whether they meet the correlation rule's trigger condition. When the events meet the correlation rule's trigger condition, the correlation engine performs an action based upon the correlation rule's correlation condition.

Abstract: In a transfer needle (1) having at least one transfer spring (8), this transfer spring (8) is held, on its one end, in a preferably lateral pocket or recess of the needle body, while the tip of the transfer spring is positioned in a longitudinal slit of the needle body. This longitudinal slit (24) has an inlet (25) that is open in longitudinal direction (L) of the needle body (5). The inlet (25) of the longitudinal slit (24) is located at an end of the longitudinal slit (24) away from the hook (6).

Abstract: A gasket has sealing layer(s) with beads which are assigned to passage opening(s), and stopper layer(s) with a stopper which limits the resilience of the bead(s). The stopper is composed of a plurality of directly successive ridge-shaped elevations and groove-shaped depressions, both being trapezoidal in cross section and both being formed in on both sides of the stopper layer, with setting angles of the trapezium flanks. The trapezoidal elevations of the one side are situated opposite the trapezoidal depressions of the other side. A cross section (Q1) which is delimited by opposing trapezium flanks which are adjacent to one another is the same or greater than a cross section (Q2) which is delimited between the opposing depressions of the two sides.

Abstract: A system and procedure for controlling and monitoring programs in a computer network system. An important advantage of the present invention is that a user interface for controlling and monitoring the programs in the computer network system remains unchanged when compared to the user interface of single computers. The computer network simulates a single computer. The system administrator controls and monitors the programs in the computer network system as in a single computer. The user interface is independent of the computer, i.e. the system administrator only needs to call one computer in the computer network system. The selection of the computer in the computer network system is carried out by automatic addressing. This computer is responsible for centralized control and monitoring in the whole computer network. The selection is made dynamically, i.e. other computers or several computers at the same time can take over the these central functions (dynamic centralization).

Abstract: To improve a surgical machine with a sensorless electric motor comprising a rotor and at least two motor windings, and with a motor controller for controlling and/or regulating the electric motor, so that the electric motor is operable with optimum efficiency at low rotational speeds and a starting of the motor in accordance with the purpose, also under load, is enabled, it is proposed that a space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) method for controlling and/or regulating the electric motor, in which all motor windings are able to be simultaneously supplied with electric current, be performable with the motor controller. A method for controlling and/or regulating a surgical machine is also proposed.

Abstract: The invention relates to non-grain oriented magnetic steel sheets which can be produced as final annealed and as a non-final annealed types in such a way that they have improved magnetic polarisation and reduced magnetic reversal losses compared with the previously achieved values. This is achieved in that a suitably composed steel, during its cooling starting from a maximum initial temperature of 1,300° C., passes through a temperature range with substantially complete exclusion of a purely austenitic structure (? phase), in which range it comprises an austenite/ferrite dual phase multi-structure (?, ? multi-phases), so the magnetic steel sheet, after hot rolling, etching, cold rolling and annealing of the hot strip obtained after hot rolling, has a magnetic polarisation J2500?1.74 T, measured in the longitudinal direction of the strip or sheet and at a magnetic field strength of 2,500 A/m and a value P1.5(50) of the magnetic losses of <4.5 W/kg, measured in the longitudinal direction of the strip at J=1.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, a hierarchy of security domains and a method for granting a user access to the security domains are provided. The hierarchy of security domains includes multiple security levels and relationships between particular security domains. When a user is authenticated and/or authorized for access to a first security domain, the user is tagged as having been granted access to that security domain. If the user attempts to access a related security domain with a lower security level, the user is granted access without having to be re-authenticated and/or re-authorized. If the user attempts to access a related security domain with a higher security level, the user must be re-authenticated and/or re-authorized be access is granted to the security domain with the higher security level.

Abstract: A torsional vibration damper in a gearbox housing has an input part connected to a drive and acts on a first damping unit and an intermediate part which acts as the output of the first damping unit and as the input of a second damping unit. The torsional vibration damper further has an output part which is in working connection with the second damping unit and which is designed to accept a takeoff. Takeoff-side drive elements of the intermediate part, the second damping unit, and the takeoff are mounted in a torque-transmitting space of a clutch device, which space is provided with at least one inlet and at least one outlet. A sealing wall separates the torque-transmitting space from a damping space including the first damping unit.

Abstract: An autonomic computing system and method determine policy definitions (404) and a set of available actions (410); monitor resources distributed within the system; determine if the system is at a desired end state; and modify resource states by sending instructions for the resources to perform available actions. The policy definitions (404) specify: start order between resources, prioritization between resources, conditional activation of policies, desired end state of resources, and location limitation of resources. The system and method receive status information from available resources, and monitor and modify the system until it reaches the desired end state. The policy definitions (404) can be determined by specifying a user-defined system end state and resource relationships. The policy definitions (404) can further harvest implicit relationships between resources, via self-discovery, and underlying relationships among resources.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for analyzing a state changing event are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a method for analyzing a state changing event comprises: detecting a state changing event of a first resource; tracing a dependence link beginning at the first resource to a resource that the first resource depends on until finding a second resource having a state changing event that is not dependent on any resource with a state changing event; and identifying the state changing event of the second resource as a root cause incident for analysis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for automatically managing IT-resources in a heterogeneous environment on each level of resource abstraction and resource hierarchy by using the concept of the resource-reference object. The resource-reference object represents the link to a referenced resource on a lower level in the hierarchy and may include a priority value assigned by the respective level of hierarchy as well as all information to build a remote request to that referenced resource which may be a single resource or a resource group. Concurrently each resource-reference object itself is accessible from the higher level of hierarchy as an own resource by additional providing a name and a desired state which can differ from desired state of the referenced resource as well as making it externally visible.
