Abstract: A method of and a system for autonomously identifying which node in a two-node system has failed are described. The system includes two nodes and a fault-tolerant communication fabric. The fabric defines a plurality of communication paths connecting the two nodes, and fault-tolerant loop-back communication in which each node can send a message to itself utilizing at least one switch structure of the fabric. In addition, each of the two nodes includes logic for performing the service; logic for testing the functionality of the respective node; logic for sending test result messages to both nodes; fault-isolation logic for analyzing test result messages from both nodes; and logic for disabling the other node from performing the service only if the fault-isolation logic determines that the respective node is capable of successfully performing the service and also determines that the other node is incapable of successfully performing the service.

Abstract: An antimicrobial composition is provided. The antimicrobial composition has broad antimicrobial efficacy in a format convenient for no-rinse application to the skin. The composition dries quickly, leaves the skin smooth, comfortable and adequately moisturized. A method of making the antimicrobial composition, a method of sanitizing skin using the antimicrobial composition, and a foam dispenser comprising the antimicrobial composition are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are microcapsules and methods for preparing and using them, as well as methods for improving various properties of microcapsules like impermeability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing high purity hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylates. Specifically, the present invention relates to an improved process which can commercially and advantageously yield high purity hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylates from (meth)acrylic acid and alkylene oxides.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for detecting social relationships across multiple networks and/or communication channels. These social relationships may then be utilized in a wide variety of ways to support and enhance a broad range of user services.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing high speed, linear-phase interpolation. Signals from a plurality of differential pairs are weighted to produce an output clock having a selectable linear phase variation. A controller includes a pulse generator for providing a predetermined number of pulses having a predetermined phase shift and a predetermined frequency and an interpolator for processing the predetermined number of pulses having a predetermined phase shift and a predetermined frequency to generate a clock signal that is linearly adjustable between a predetermined number of output phases.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for installing one or more axially ported components on a manifold with lateral space restraints, an installation bore being formed to have a sealing surface and the manifold further modified to include an outer threaded section, the apparatus including a sealing member formed of a compressible material with a central bore sized to receive a tubular port of a component to be installed, a drive sleeve having a slot extending through one side, an interior sized to receive the body of a component to be installed, and a threaded end, a thrust collar being positioned between the drive sleeve and sealing member, the formation of he installation bore, assembly of the sealing member, thrust collar and drive sleeve around the flow component to be installed and the engagement of the drive sleeve screw threads with the installation bore screw threads resulting in the compression of the sealing member causing the securing and sealing of the flow component and its port in the manifold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an offset alignment device that is adjustable in the lateral or medial direction, the anterior or posterior direction and rotatably adjustable at a single interface between the two pieces of the present invention. A first piece is provided having a body with a central axis. A positioner is on the first side of the body. A second piece is provided having a central axis and a flange. A side wall upstands from the flange to define an opening. The positioner can be selectably received within the opening while the central axis of the first piece remains parallel to the central axis of the second piece. The pieces are lockable in place with respect to each other at the selected offset alignment and rotational orientation.

Abstract: This invention provides a pot for frying or boiling, which comprises a pot having at least one side wall. The side wall defines an opening at a level proximate to a top portion of the side wall, and a conduit sealably connected to the opening and extending outward from the side wall. The conduit has a first end defined by the opening and a second end defining an outlet. An interior volume defined by the pot is in fluid communication with the conduit. An apparatus capable of sealably attaching to a pot for frying or boiling is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vertical shock absorbing prosthetic foot that has a forefoot having a toe spring and a toe plate and a heel having a heel spring and a heel strike. The heel spring and toe spring comprise a foot spring. The toe spring can be forward opening and the heel spring can be rearward opening. The toe spring can be located rearward of the heel spring. The foot spring can be generally loop shaped. A connector is used to connect the foot to a residual limb or other prosthetic components. The connector can have a top piece and a bottom piece, and the connector has a shape that is complementary to the foot spring. The connector can be adjustably connected to the foot spring by rotating the connector around the foot spring to adjust the location of the heel strike.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a prosthetic foot comprising a rear foot portion having an attachment platform and a heel strike, and a front foot portion having a momentum interrupter and a toe plate. As the foot approaches toe-off, the toe plate flexibly deflects upwards and the momentum interrupter compresses. The amount of returned energy at toe-off is comprised from stored flexural energy of the toe plate and stored expansive energy of the momentum interrupter. The toe plate of the present invention can have a split toe design. Further, mechanically adjustable stiffeners can be incorporated into the design if desired.
