Abstract: A request is received that includes a primary keyword and a persistent keyword. In response to the request, a root page is found that includes a first term that matches the primary keyword. Descendant pages of the root page are searched for a second term that matches the persistent keyword. The search determines that the descendant pages are at levels on paths from the root page and that the levels are within a depth from the root page. A descendant page is found that is a descendant of the root page and that includes a second term that matches the persistent keyword. A root link that points at the root page and a descendant link that points at the descendant page are sent to the requester. If the number of times that the primary keyword was received is greater than a threshold number, then the primary keyword is added to the persistent keywords.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method for assigning a home node to a file system object and using information associated with file system objects to improve locality of reference during thread execution. Doing so may improve application performance on a computer system configured using a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) architecture. Thus, embodiments of the invention allow a computer system to create a nodal affinity between a given file system object and a given processing node.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector for creating an optical waveguide connector-in connection for an optical waveguide cable containing an optical waveguide, said connector comprising a housing, a ferrule holder arranged in the housing, and a locking device arranged outside the housing, on a narrow side thereof. The inventive connector has a housing that has the outer shape of an RJ-45 connector, is open on the front side and the rear side thereof, and has an inner region surrounded by the narrow sides extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector-in connection, and a catch spring used as a locking device for engaging in a coupling, the catch spring being elastically connected to the housing. Ferrule holders for each of the optical waveguides guided into the inner region through the rear side of the housing are arranged in the inner region, each ferrule holder being respectively provided with a recess for a coupling ferrule on the side thereof facing the front side of the housing.

Abstract: An identifier of a root page, a keyword, and a depth are received from a client. Descendant pages in paths from the root page are searched. The descendant pages exist in the paths at levels within the depth from the root page. A term in a first descendant page is found that matches the keyword. A child link that points to a child page of the root page is found. A path relevancy for the child link is determined by performing a logical-or operation on page relevancies of each of the descendant pages in a path. A copy of the root page, a descendant link that points at the first descendant page, a match score for the first descendant page, and a path relevancy for the path of the child link are sent to the client. In this way, pages that are linked from root pages may be searched.

Abstract: In an embodiment, clients create trade profiles that specify trade criteria. In various embodiments, the trade criteria specify categories of files that are desired, specify files that are desired, or specify files that are available to trade. The clients send the trade profiles to a server, which selects available files that meet the trade criteria of other clients. The server sends a specification of the selected files to the clients. In response, the clients lock their files, which prevents presentation and send the locked files to each other. The clients receive the locked files and unlock them. After expiration of a time period, the clients once again lock the files. In this way, a file may be traded by clients, but only one client may access the file at any one time.

Abstract: A plug for light wave conductors or photo-conductors with a plug housing into a rear end of which a photo-conductor bundle with at least two photo-conductor fibers is introduced, and from an oppositely lying front end of which there emerge ferrules, into which, in each case, one of the photo-conductor fibers is introduced. The ferrules are supported in a ferrule housing which is installed in a plug housing correspondingly formed for the reception of the ferrule housing. The ferrules are movable, spring-loaded in their axial direction, in which the plug is intended for being plugged together with a coupling housing that receives this plug. The ferrule housing comprises a core housing and a core interior housing, which are designed for the reception of two ferrules. The ferrules are supported in the core housing. Front ends of the ferrules extend forward through the core housing and rear ends of the ferrules extend into the core interior housing.

Abstract: The invention provides a transportable reaction chamber for continuous biological and chemical decontamination of articles by means of a mixture of hot air and steam. The reaction chamber has a tunnel shaped reaction section through which the contaminated articles are transported on a conveyor and through which a mixture of decontaminant gases is circulated. An exhaust blower situated at an end of the reaction section, and transverse flow units along its length, provide both transverse and longitudinal gas flow in the reaction section.
