Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining first data pertaining to an outage in a first portion of a communications system, obtaining second data pertaining to a relationship between the first portion of the communications system and a second portion of the communications system, analyzing the first data the second data to identify a risk to communication services facilitated by the second portion of the communications system, determining that the risk is greater than a threshold, and generating, based on the determining, a recommendation for reducing the risk. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method of treating congenital hyperinsulinism in a subject is disclosed. The method can include parenterally administering to the subject a first composition comprising a glucagon, a glucagon analogue, or a salt form of either thereof, and optionally administering to the subject a second composition comprising glucose, a glucose analogue, or a salt form of either thereof, wherein administration of the first composition sufficiently increases blood glucose level in the subject such that the second composition is not administered or the second composition is administered at a glucose infusion rate (GIR) of less than 8 mg/(kg*min).

Abstract: Combustion chamber includes a primary stage fuel burner to supply fuel into a primary combustion zone and secondary stage fuel burner supplies fuel into a secondary combustion zone. A sensor is positioned downstream from combustion chamber measuring concentration of one or more compounds. The sensor sends measurements of the concentration of compounds to a processor. The processor compares the measured concentration of the compound with a first threshold value and a second threshold value. The processor supplies more fuel to the primary stage fuel burner if the measured concentration is higher than the first threshold value, supplies more fuel to the secondary stage fuel burner if the measured concentration is higher than the second threshold value, maintaining fuel supply to the primary and secondary stage fuel burners if the measured concentration is lower than the first threshold value and lower than the second threshold value.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the circumferential distribution of temperature in a fluid, comprising a plurality of sensor ladders, each incorporating a plurality of temperature sensors, wherein a first one of the sensor ladders partially overlaps a second one of the sensor ladders, part of the first sensor ladder not overlapping the second sensor ladder.

Abstract: Porous sintered anode bodies for capacitors formed from valve metals are treated by electrolysis to form a dielectric layer and coated with cathode layers. When standard parallelepiped shapes are used, cathode coverage at the edges and corners is non-uniform and failures occur at those locations. Rectangular prisms, obround prisms and cylindrical prisms are formed with transition surfaces at edges and corners, such as chamfers and curves, to enhance cathode layer uniformity. The transition surface greatly enhances the application of polymer slurries.

Abstract: The invention provides a cartridge for use in dispensing a crease setting composition into a temporary crease of a garment in order to make that crease permanent. The cartridge is connected to a mechanism which by movement of the cartridge and mechanism relative to the crease causes the dispensing of the composition from a nozzle at the end of the cartridge. The end of the cartridge is of reinforced construction in order to support the nozzle in a firm and effective manner. The nozzle is normally in the form of a tube which fits in a bore in end and the bore intersects the end of a cavity inside the cartridge which is conical in shape so as to give a small area of intersection.

Abstract: The invention provides a cartridge for use in dispensing a crease setting composition into a temporary crease of a garment in order to make that crease permanent. The cartridge (17 ) is connected to a mechanism which by movement of the cartridge and mechanism relative to the crease causes the dispensing of the composition from a nozzle (34) at the end of the cartridge. The end (26) of the cartridge (17) is of reinforced construction in order to support the nozzle (34) in a firm and effective manner. The nozzle is normally in the form of a tube (35) which fits in a bore (27) in the end (26) and the bore intersects the end of a cavity inside the cartridge which is conical in shape so as to give a small area (28) of intersection.
