Abstract: The present invention discloses systems and methods for monitoring, analyzing and reporting additions or changes to network software applications. The invention is achieved through a fully or partially automated system which allows for more accurate reporting and processing of metric data. The invention may link different subsystems that run a component so that any component change is automatically updated throughout the various subsystems. Further, the present invention allows users to view information related to component changes, thereby allowing the user to seek help related to that change. This information may include metrics, statistics, and/or other data associated with the components and component changes.

Abstract: A seek-and-scan probe memory device comprising a patterned capping layer over a phase-change media, where the patterned capping layer defines the bit locations on the phase-change media. The patterned capping layer may be formed from self-assembled structures. In other embodiments, nanostructures are formed on the bottom electrode below the phase-change media to focus an applied electric field from the probe, so as to increase bit density and contrast. The nanostructures may be a regular or random array of nanostructures, formed by using a self-assembling material. The nanostructures may be conductive or non-conductive. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Extended release compositions containing selenium and methods of using such compositions in the treatment of soil deficient in selenium are provided. For example, the composition could comprise sodium selenium and acidulated phosphate.

Abstract: A sectional wood overhead garage doors to withstand very high wind loads such as those created by hurricane force winds typically greater than 90 mph and which can be greater than 140 mph. The door meets design pressures of ?65 psf and +48 psf. The door includes panel sections hingedly connected, each panel section having a frame assembly composed of upper and lower rails and, at least, a pair of end stiles, which form a substantially rectangular border. The frame assembly is fixedly attached to front and back surface protection members, which increase the resistance to wind-induced forces and the impact of objects. The front surface protection member may include a decorative protection assembly that provides an aesthetically pleasing, decorative surface. The decorative protection assembly can be constructed to resemble a flat panel door, a raised panel door, a turn-of-the-century carriage door, and the like.

The kit may optionally contain a number of items used on the beach including suntan lotion, water bottles, frisbees, hair accessories and the like. A beach bucket kit for use by children is also provided which includes a bucket, at least one beach towel, and at least one toy.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a memory device may include a memory layer and a MEMS layer. The memory layer may include an integrated circuit with a multiplexer and optionally a memory controller and a storage medium disposed on the integrated circuit where the storage medium includes chalcogenide islands as storage elements. The MEMS layer may include a movable MEMS platform having probes to connect selected chalcogenide islands via positioning of the MEMS platform. A high voltage source disposed external to the memory layer and the MEMS layer may provide a high voltage to a stator electrode on the memory layer and to a rotor electrode on the MEMS platform to control movement of the MEMS platform with respect to the storage medium. The memory device may be utilized in portable electronic devices such as media players and cellular telephones to provide a nonvolatile storage of information.

Abstract: In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, a first link protocol utilizing a set mode command is sent from one or more transmit terminals to establish a link with one or more receive terminals. The set mode command comprises a frame format including an identifying byte field in accordance with International Telecommunication Union's Q.921 Annex E protocol specification. The one or more transmit terminals wait a predetermined T200 time interval to receive a response from the one or more receive terminals to determine if the link is established. If a response is not received from the one or more receive terminals, the one or more transmit terminals resends the set mode command a predetermined N200 times. If the link is still not established within the predetermined N200 times, a second link protocol utilizing a set asynchronous balanced mode extended command having a different identifying byte field in accordance with International Telecommunication Union's Q.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable routing device is provided for use in a fiber optic connection unit. The fiber optic connection unit may include a pair of longitudinally extending and spaced apart frame members; and a support structure mounted between the pair of frame members and adapted for connection to a plurality of vertically oriented circuit packs. The fiber optic cable routing device is disposed below the plurality of circuit packs and mounted between the pair of frame members.
