Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a standalone application module are disclosed. A configuration database stores information about one or more infrastructure resources. A receiver receives a request to connect to an infrastructure resource. A processor accesses the configuration database to fetch information about the infrastructure resource; accesses one or more external resource databases to fetch infrastructure resources that are required to run an application; dynamically creates the infrastructure resources accessed from the one or more external resource databases: and establishes and maintains a connection to the dynamically created infrastructure resources required by the application to function running in background in a user's system.

Abstract: A self-healing hydraulic seal is provided. The self-healing hydraulic seal is prepared from a water-swellable elastomeric composition comprising a base polymer and a plant-based polysaccharide.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a functional documentation module are disclosed. A repository stores a list of URLs corresponding to one or more applications and a list independently executable programming languages for running an application. A receiver receives a request for creating a new URL. A processor causes a GUI to display selectable URLs from the list of URLs, selectable components from the list of independently executable programing languages, and a functional documentation; creates the new URL by selecting one or more desired URLs from the selectable URLs based on analyzing the functional documentation; independently tests only the created new URL for running the application without testing the selectable URLs and their underlying components; and updates the repository with the new URL based on a positive test result.

Abstract: The present invention provides ballistic resistant armor including a first ballistic resistant layer including non-woven material, a second ballistic resistant layer comprising woven material, the first ballistic resistant layer coupled to the second ballistic resistant layer by stitches, and methods of making the same.

Abstract: An indexed book of information bits has a hierarchal structure of primary headings and secondary headings within each primary heading. Each secondary heading includes a group of information bits associated therewith. The pages of the book are bound at first edges in a spine, include primary markings representing primary headings along second edges, and include secondary markings representing secondary headings along third edges. Indicating portions are provided along each of the second and third edges to associate each page with a respective primary heading and a respective secondary heading.

Abstract: A method is provided for editing an optical disc having a plurality of application-functional-layers. The method comprises the steps of obtaining description information of an edit performed on a program data in one of the layers, and generating a sharing information according to the description information in order to correspondingly edit application files in the other layer (s) of the optical disc. With the method and apparatus, the edit performed on one layer of the optical disc may be identified in other functional layer (s) and be used to edit and update the corresponding application files in those layers, so as to avoid conflict between the program data and application file.

Abstract: The present invention provides a diffusion limiting membrane system for filtering an analyte from a fluid, comprising: a) a first layer comprising an analyte responsive enzyme; and b) a second layer comprising a water-soluble monomer composition, wherein the first layer is in direct contact with one or more sensor electrodes and the second layer is in direct contact with the first layer.

Abstract: A phase-locked-loop (PLL) has a current controlled oscillator (ICO) whose gain varies with its input current. The PLL also contains a charge pump that controls the input current of the ICO and therefore the output frequency of the ICO. The charge pump has a gain that is controlled by the ICO input current in a manner which linearizes the combination of charge pump and ICO. This results in a substantially constant loop gain for a PLL.
