Abstract: Systems and techniques for performing multicast-reduction operations. In at least one embodiment, a network device receives first network data associated with a multicast operation to be collectively performed by at least a plurality of endpoints. The network device reserves resources to process second network data to be received from the endpoints, and sends the first network data to a plurality of additional network devices. The network device receives the second network data, and processes the second network data using the reserved resources.

Abstract: Filled, curable siloxane encapsulant compositions containing a curable siloxane base resin with functional groups reactive with functional groups of a hardener compound to form a polysiloxane, and filler particles with surface functional groups reactive with the hardener compound functional groups, wherein the filler particles have at least a bi-modal particle packing distribution of first filler particles having a first diameter and second filler particles having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and the first and second filler particles are present in amounts effective to provide a particle packing distribution with a relative bulk volume of at least about 90 percent.
