Abstract: A node includes one or more line cards interconnected to one another via a switching fabric and configured to implement a data plane; and a first router processor and a second router processor communicatively coupled to the one or more line cards, and each configured to implement a separate control plane, such that the node appears in a link-state database as two separate nodes. Responsive to an in-service software upgrade, the first router processor is upgraded and down while the second router processor is active, thereby preserving routing and forwarding. The one or more line cards include a first Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN) for the first router processor and a second VLAN for the second router processor, and the first VLAN and the second VLAN are associated with a same physical interface on the one or more line cards.

Abstract: A method and a system for finding products in an in-store shopping environment using an interactive shopping game is described. In an example, the shopping game is generated based on user input, including a shopping list and user personalization information. For example, the interactive shopping game is presented to a user on a portable electronic device to guide the user to find items in the in-store shopping environment.

Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to generating recommendations based on one or more user inventories, which may be stored in a database. The inventory may include items (e.g., physical goods, electronic goods, and financial assets) owned by a user. A machine may use the database to provide suggestions to the user to buy or sell items. The machine may also use the database to provide suggestions to the user to join a community. The database may be used in conjunction with an electronic commerce site. The machine may be aware of which items in the site are being viewed by the user. The recommendation made by the machine may take into account the item being viewed. The user may be able to view the current market value for each item individually, the total value for a selection of items, or the total value for all items.

Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, a press fit tool assembly may include a press fit tool having a plurality of parallel blades configured such that each row of pins of a male connector may mechanically couple to adjacent blades when the press fit tool is mechanically coupled to the male connector. The press fit tool assembly may also include a press fit tool cap mechanically coupled to the press fit tool, with the press fit tool cap having at least one protrusion configured to be received by a corresponding notch of the male connector when the male connector is mechanically coupled to the press fit tool.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to polyurethanes having resistance to hydrocarbons and articles made therefrom. In one embodiment, a hydrocarbon resistant polycarbonate elastomer containing article is provided. The hydrocarbon resistant polycarbonate elastomer is prepared from a reaction mixture comprising (a) one or more difunctional polycarbonate polyols comprising repeating units from one or more alkane diols having 2 to 20 carbon atoms with a number average molecular weight between 500 and 3,000, and (b) one or more organic polyisocyanate components, wherein the article is selected from filter caps, conduits, containers, seals, mechanical belts, liners, coatings, rollers and machine parts.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for processing transactions between at least one buying company and at least one selling company using a central datastore accessible to users from the buying company and selling company. Purchase order and invoice data are obtained and compared to identify a matched record having purchase order data and corresponding invoice data. A collaborative data set in the central datastore is created, based in part on the matched record and storing in the datastore detailed settlement data regarding settlement of the matched record of purchase order data and corresponding invoice data. A complete settlement transaction history is stored by providing for storage of additional settlement data in the central datastore, wherein credit memos, debit memos regarding the invoice, the purchase order of the matched record, and/or other documents related to the transaction are stored as part of the collaborative data set.
