  • Method, system and program product for managing a file system that includes an archive
    Patent number: 7730035
    Abstract: An improved solution for managing a file system that includes an archive is provided. In particular, a request for a file system operation can be received and performed on an object that is stored in an archive. The file system operation can be received from a first computer and performed on the object on a second computer. Further, an archive manager can be included that manages an extensible set of archive handlers. In this case, each archive handler can implement a set of file system operations for archives of a particular archive type.

  • Abrasion resistant coatings for unsaturated polymeric substrates
    Patent number: 4225631
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for applying an adherent, optically clear, abrasion resistant coating to polymeric substrates formed from unsaturated monomers. Typical substrates are lenses formed from either acrylic or allylic polymers, such as CR-39 lenses.This process includes (a) forming a solution of a partially hydrolyzed vinyltri (lower alkoxy) silane, such as vinyltriethoxysilane, in a water-miscible, volatile, organic solvent, the silane being present from 25-75% by weight; (b) applying this solution to a clean surface of the substrate; (c) dehydrating the coated substrate under low humidity conditions at an elevated temperature below the temperature at which the substrate degrades; and, (d) then submitting the dehydrated coated substrate to irradiation with ultraviolet light or other high energy radiation until an adherent, abrasion resistant coating is formed.
