Abstract: Client-server communication in a cached communication environment is described. A server computer executes a server application. The server application requests a server communication application to generate a server object. The server object is independent from a client object that is modified to communicate client data. The server application receives a copy of a client object from the server communication application, and applies a disposition rule to data referenced in the copy of the client object.

Abstract: Sensor stack venting techniques are described. In one or more implementations, one or more vent structures are formed within layers of a pressure sensitive sensor stack for a device. Vent structures including channels, holes, slots, and so forth are designed to provide pathways for gas released by feature elements to escape. The pathways may be arranged to convey outgases through the layers to designated escape points in a controlled manner that prevents deformities typically caused by trapped gases. The escape points in some layers enable at least some other layers to be edge-sealed. Pathways may then be formed to convey gas from the edge-sealed layer(s) to an edge vented layer(s) having one or more escape points, such that feature elements in the edge-sealed layer(s) remain protected from contaminants.

Abstract: An apparatus (1) used for detecting flatness defects of a web (2) comprises a rotatable roller bearing assembly (4) comprising a roller unit (6) mounted on a central arbor (8), a light carrying medium (11) that extends through the roller bearing assembly (4), a light source (10) for transmitting a light signal through the light carrying medium (11), and optical sensing means (12) for measuring strain forces in the roller unit (6) caused by the web (2) passing over the roller unit (6). The optical sensing means (10) is in optical communication with the light carrying medium (11) and is disposed along a portion of the longitudinal length of the roller unit (6). Means are provided for receiving and analysing the light signal that has passed through the light carrying medium (11).
