Abstract: The polymerization of cycloalkenamer is stopped by adding an alkyl vinyl derivative. Subsequently compound A is added, wherein compound A has at least one of the features i) or ii): i) at least one functional group or ii) at least one saturated or unsaturated aliphatic or aromatic heterocyclic ring having 3 to 14 ring atoms, wherein the ring atoms contain at least one carbon atom and at least one atom selected from oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. A membrane filtration is subsequently carried out. This type of production produces polyalkenamers which are temperature-stable at 180° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing cycloalkenamer-containing compositions. The polymerization of cycloalkenamer is stopped by addition of alkyl vinyl ethers. This is followed by a membrane filtration. This type of production affords polyalkenamers that are thermally stable at 180° C.

Abstract: A statistic tool is provided for use in relation with a group of nodes in which each node has a statistic server configured to maintain application-related statistical data on local execution in the node. The statistic tool comprises a statistic manager for storing centralized statistical data obtained from the nodes and an intermediary server for processing a request from another computer system concerning the execution of an application by gathering statistical data received from those of the nodes that intervene in the execution of the application.

Abstract: A method for configuration of a program with a plurality of configuration variables to operate on a computer system that includes obtaining a plurality of priority semantics for the plurality of configuration variables, wherein the plurality of priority semantics are heterogeneous, assigning a value for each of the plurality of configuration variables based on the plurality of priority semantics, and configuring the program using the value to operate on the computer system.

Abstract: A method for providing strong security in an insecure network, involving creating a payload associated with a data packet for transmission by a sending node, determining whether the payload is associated with a unicast data packet, if the payload is associated with the unicast data packet encrypting the payload using a private key associated with the sending node to obtain a unicast encrypted payload, encrypting the unicast encrypted payload using a public key associated with a receiving node to obtain a double-encrypted payload, and transmitting the data packet including the double-encrypted payload to the receiving node over the insecure network.

Abstract: A method for creating a histogram from a plurality of data elements that includes specifying a plurality of internal buckets, wherein each internal bucket of the plurality of internal buckets represent values between an internal minimum value and an internal maximum value, wherein a plurality of differences of the internal minimum value and the internal maximum value of each internal bucket are heterogeneous, populating the plurality of internal buckets with the plurality of data elements based on the internal minimum value and the internal maximum value of each internal bucket to obtain a plurality of populated internal buckets, and outputting the histogram from the plurality of populated internal buckets.

Abstract: A method for configuring a switch with a switch controller that includes obtaining a switch program, wherein the switch program comprises a plurality of instructions written using a switch control language, and executing the switch program on the switch controller, wherein executing the switch program includes for each instruction in the plurality of instructions determining a switch specified by the instruction, sending the instruction to the switch, and configuring the switch based on the instruction.

Abstract: A method for creating a histogram that includes identifying a lower extreme range counter and an upper extreme range counter for a plurality of data elements. The method further includes incrementing a value counter when the value counter corresponds to a value of a first data element in the plurality of data elements and incrementing the lower extreme range counter when a value of a second data element in the plurality of data elements is less than a pre-defined lower boundary. The method further includes incrementing the upper extreme range counter when a value of a third data element in the plurality of data elements is greater than a pre-defined upper boundary. The method further includes creating the histogram from the value counter, the lower extreme range counter, and the upper extreme range counter.
