Abstract: Provided is a method for making a mold of a gap between components, the method comprising: a step for preparing a curable composition by mixing a resin material with a curing agent that promotes curing of the resin material; a step for cooling the curable composition (M) to a predetermined temperature at which curing of the curable composition is not initiated, so as to manufacture a mold-making kit; a step for placing the mold-making kit in a gap between a first member and a second member so as to fill the gap; a step for curing the mold-making kit between the first member and the second member to mold the mold-making kit into the shape of the gap; and a step for removing the cured mold-making kit from the gap.

Abstract: A digital ticket is procured by a client ticket consumer upon, preferably, the Internet from and by staged interaction with a ticket provider server. The digital ticket becomes embodied in a tangible transportable data storage medium, normally a 2-D bar code printed on paper by the consumer, or on the consumer's flexible disk or smart card, containing Sign(s,I||hash(R))||R where (1) R is a number having its origin in the computer of the ticket consumer, which number R is appended to (2) a number Sign(s,I||hash(R)). This number Sign(s,I||hash(R)) was earlier computed in the computer of the ticket provider as a digital signature using signature key s of a number hash(R) combined with event information I, and was subsequently communicated across the communications network to the computer of the ticket consumer.

Abstract: A delay network of logic circuit delay data composed of a first set of vertices containing first to fourth vertices, and a first set of weighted directional edges containing a first directional edge extending from the first vertex to the fourth vertex, a second directional edge extending from the second vertex to the third vertex, a third directional edge extending from the first vertex to the third vertex, and a fourth directional edge extending from the second vertex to the fourth vertex, is converted into a delay network composed of a second set of vertices containing the first to fourth vertices and an added fifth vertex, and a second set of weighted directional edges containing a fifth directional edge extending from the first vertex to the fifth vertex, a sixth directional edge extending from the second vertex to the fifth vertex, a seventh directional edge extending from the fifth vertex to the third vertex, and an eighth directional edge extending from the fifth vertex to the fourth vertex.
