Abstract: Hydrophilic precipitated silicas which combine a particularly low initial moisture content with low moisture absorption over time, a low tapped density and a low silanol group density, have the following physicochemical parameters: equilibrium moisture content (at 70% relative humidity/20° C.) of 0.5%-5.0% by weight, based on the weight of the hydrophilic precipitated silica, BET surface area of 50-250 m2/g, CTAB surface area of 50-250 m2/g, and DBP (anhydrous) of 200-350 g/100 g.

Abstract: The invention utilizes a separate queue per output port as implemented in the traditional simple queuing schemes of the prior art. Further, it also uses the information found in the packet header to determine the output port and the next output port. Based on this information, it utilizes queues dedicated to congested flows, or “Congested Flow” queues. When the switch determines that, based on the first output port and the second subsequent output port, a packet in the output queue is destined for a congested path, it sets the offending packet aside in a Congested Flow queue, thereby allowing other packets destined for the first output port to continue to be transmitted. In this way, the HOL blocking issue is addressed, without the need for a significantly increased number of output queues.

Abstract: A process for milling amorphous solids using a milling apparatus can result in particles having a median particle diameter d50 of <1.5 ?m. The process includes: operating a mill in a milling phase with an operating medium selected from the group consisting of gas, vapor, steam, a gas containing steam and mixtures thereof, and heating a milling chamber in a heat-up phase before the actual operation with the operating medium in such a way that a temperature in the milling chamber, the mill exit or both, is higher than a dew point of the operating medium.

Abstract: An improved architecture for switches and a method for transmitting data with the switching are disclosed. An increased amount of memory is utilized, operating at speeds lower than are required by Input Queued switches, and a simple scheduling algorithm. The architecture divides the input ports into groups, where each input port group has an associated set of memory elements. Incoming packets are routed to the appropriate element in the set of memory elements. The number of groups and the number of ports that are included in each group can be varied, allowing the architecture to be modified based on the system architecture, the semiconductor technology, and other design considerations.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved apparatus and method for the receipt of high-speed sequential data streams. It utilizes the concept of banked memories to reduce the required speed and size of the input buffers used to receive the data streams. This allows the device to employ large, relatively slow memory elements, thereby permitting large amounts of sequential data to be stored by the receiving device. Using control information that was written as the data was being stored in the memory banks, a reordering element is later able to retrieve the data elements from the plurality of memory banks, in an order that is different from that in which the stream was received, and to reassemble the data stream into the original sequence.
