Abstract: The present invention provides a recessed floor box assembly including a cover and floor box housing designed to be adaptable to the cover. The cover is designed to be removable and repositionable for covering the open face of the box housing in either the closed or open positions. The cover can be selectively positioned to open or close an access opening into the box housing while still retaining a covering on the box housing.

Abstract: A system and method have been provided for prioritizing queued information packets having a variable number of cells. A simultaneous deficit round robin (DRR) analysis occurs in the course of several selection cycles. Each queue has an associated increment value. The packet lengths in each queue are simultaneously compared to an accumulation total in every selection cycle. If all the packets have lengths greater than their corresponding accumulation totals, each accumulation total is incremented and the selection process is repeated. If one of the information packets has a number of cells less than, or equal to its corresponding accumulation total, it is selected. In case multiple information packets are eligible, a variety of selection criteria can be used to break a tie. For example, the eligible information packet with the highest class of service (COS) can be selected. The information packet is completed transferred before another selection process is begun.

Abstract: A system and method have been provided for hierarchically arbitrating in a broadband information switching network. The method promotes the fair and efficient distribution of information packets across the switch fabric that ultimately permits the switch to maximally match information packets to switch output addresses, at faster rates and higher throughput.

Abstract: Blends of a natural wax, such as sunflower wax and glyceride materials, substantially being triglycerides and having an N20>20 display excellent properties when applied in barrier layers for compound food products.

Abstract: Blends of wax-esters with beneficial health properties comprise: .gtoreq. two different wax-esters in amounts of 5-95% and each having m.pt -10.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. blend displaying m.pt: 15 to 45% while >80 wt % of wax-esters in blend have m.pt 20 to 60.degree. C.; wax-esters derived from linear alcohols and linear carboxyl acids either of them having .gtoreq.8 C-atoms.

Abstract: A user interface of simplifying selection of speaker volume level and power conservation level in a computer system. An icon is presented for setting the speaker volume which includes a bar graph of relative speaker volume. By depressing left or right arrow keys the graph moves and the volume level of the speaker is changed. By depressing the down arrow key when setting the volume level, the speaker is beeped to allow for a level check during the setting process. A series of icons are used to indicate and select power conservation level. Each icon includes a battery with a faucet attached to the side of the battery. Different water flow rates indicate the various conservation levels. A human figure is located adjacent the faucet to indicate the user-customerized conservation level.

Abstract: Fat-compositions that display the following characteristics are very suitable fats for healthy margarines or spreads: (I): 5-45 wt % S.sub.2 U triglycerides; 0-60 wt % SU.sub.2 ; 5-95 wt % U.sub.3 ; 0-8 wt % S.sub.3 ; S=saturated fatty acid: C.sub.16 -C.sub.24, U=unsaturated fatty acid C.sub.18 +; (II): (C.sub.18 -C.sub.24):C.sub.16 >0.3; (III): <5% diglycerides; (IV): % SAFA<35 wt %; (V): N.sub.5 =12-30, N.sub.35 <7, (N.sub.5 -N.sub.20)<10.

Abstract: Blends of sugar and a triglyceride component, wherein the triglyceride component comprises.gtoreq.40% SU.sub.2and 3-50% S.sub.2 U while its N.sub.20 >35 and its N.sub.30 <10(S=saturated fatty acid 18-24 C atoms, U=unsaturated fatty acid.gtoreq.18 C atoms)are suitable for the preparation of low-SAFA filling fat compositions or low-SAFA ice-cream coatings.
