Abstract: This disclosure includes various uses of extensible papers, for example to improve products typically made with conventional papers or as an alternative to plastic in products typically made with plastic. Examples of such products include bags such as retail shopping bags; primary product packaging; product bundle wraps; shipping products such as envelopes, pallet wrap, blocking, bracing, and cushioning; personal protection equipment (PPE) and medical products; food service products such takeaway wrappers for food; construction and landscape materials; and industrial and agricultural bags. In at least some of the present embodiments and configurations, the extensible paper has a machine direction (MD) extensibility of 10% or greater, and a cross-direction (CD) extensibility of 6% or greater.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides aerosol generating substrates and aerosol source members comprising aerosol generating substrates, as well as methods of manufacturing thereof. In an example implementation, an aerosol generating substrate may comprise a fibrous filler material, an aerosol forming material, and a plurality of heat conducting constituents, wherein the substrate is formed as a sheet, and wherein the heat conducting constituents are part of the sheet. The heat conducting constituents may be incorporated within the sheet, or may be formed on a surface of the sheet. In another example implementation, an aerosol source member may comprise a substrate portion formed of a collection of intermingled pieces cut from an aerosol substrate sheet. In addition, or alternatively, a substrate portion may be formed of a series of overlapping layers of an aerosol substrate sheet.

Abstract: A method for a responsive learning program in which a skills and knowledge base of an employee to successfully perform at his/her employment are utilized to determine various criteria of steps by which to manage, and improve the quality and efficiency of the employee's skill set and knowledge is presented. Utilizing commonalities of the skill and knowledge set and reusable components of the criteria steps throughout the methodology allows for linkages as between the criteria steps to be identified and utilized. Course programs containing varying modules, each having an independent number of lessons therein, are based upon the skill and knowledge set and the criteria steps, can be created for any business. Identification of the common elements and linkages between the employee skill sets and employment criteria allows for creation of a responsive learning program to be implemented in any business.

Abstract: Using local change bit to direct the install state of the data line. A multi-processor system that having a plurality of individual processors where each of the processors has an associated L1 cache, and the multi-processor system has at least one shared main memory, and at least one shared L2 cache. The method described herein involves writing a data line into an L2 cache comprising and a local change bit to direct the install state of the data line.

Abstract: Caching where portions of data are stored in slower main memory and are transferred to faster memory between one or more processors and the main memory. The cache is such that an individual cache system must communicate to other associated cache systems, or check with such cache systems, to determine if they contain a copy of a given cached location prior to or upon modification or appropriation of data at a given cached location. The cache further includes provisions for determining when the data stored in a particular memory location may be replaced.

Abstract: The system and method described herein is a dual system directory structure that performs the role of system cache, i.e., data, and system control, i.e., coherency. The system includes two system cache directories. These two cache directories are equal in size and collectively large enough to contain all of the processor cache directory entries, but with only one of these cache directories hosting system-cache data to back the most recent fraction of data accessed by the processors, and the other cache directory retains only addreses, including addresses of lines LRUed out and the processor using the data. By this expedient, only the directory known to be backed by system cached data will be evaluated for system cache data hits.

Abstract: A pet accessory for a toilet for mounting in the toilet bowl of a toilet to permit a cat to use the toilet as a litter box. The pet accessory includes a platform with a spaced apart pair of mounting arms upwardly extending from each of the side edges of the platform. Each mounting arm has a lower portion and a upper portion outwardly extending in a direction away from the platform. The upper portions of the mounting arms are designed for resting on a rim of a toilet bowl. The lower portions of the mounting arms are designed for downwardly extending into the toilet bowl such that the platform is positioned in the toilet bowl.

Abstract: A swimsuit with a built-in bra further including a lower pants portion having an enlarged upper waist opening, two smaller lower leg openings, the lower pants portion being fabricated of a flexible elastomeric material with a built-in elastic waistband sewn into the circumference of the upper waist opening; a bra having a front and a back and having straps positionable over the shoulders of a wearer with oppositely disposed arm openings and an enlarged lower opening positionable about a wearer beneath the arm openings and above the waist opening, the bra being fabricated with two adjacent cups in the front for supporting the breast of a full-figured woman, the bra also having a back strap with centrally disposed fasteners for the putting on and taking off of the bra; and a lower stitching secured to the lower edge of the bra to couple it with a central extent of the upper portion beneath the breasts of a woman and above the waist opening of the upper portion, and upper stitching securing the upper periphery o
