Abstract: The present application discloses a grouting consolidation sample containing internal defects and the preparation method thereof. Firstly, plasticine is employed to prepare a wax model with the desired defect shape, then a fixing device is used to fix the wax model onto a specific position in a casting mould of consolidation and thereafter a slurry is poured to form a grouting consolidation sample, after the grouting consolidation sample reaches the predetermined strength, the grouting consolidation sample containing the wax model is put into an oven to heat at a temperature above the melting point of wax to demolish the structure of the wax model to form a grouting consolidation sample with internal defects.

Abstract: A system and a method for bonding a slider to a suspension tongue are disclosed. A set of conductive fibers is embedded in a bonding adhesive binding the slider to the suspension tongue to improve conductivity between the slider and the suspension assembly. The bonding adhesive includes binder resin and silver powder. The slider is composed of aluminum oxide and titanium carbide. The set of conductive fibers is composed of carbon coated potassium titanic acid whisker. The set of conductive fibers range in length from 10 ?m to 20 ?m, and in diameter from 0.3 ?m to 0.6 ?m. The set of conductive fibers range in resistance from 0.01 ohm to 0.1 ohm. The set of conductive fibers is mixed with the bonding adhesive in a 1% to 4% mixing ratio.

Abstract: This application proposes a solution that makes access to the Optical Link State (OLS) information more efficient for use by upper level applications. Applications are independent of underlying routing protocols. This solution applies to all Link State based IGP protocols with the extension to optical networks, including OSPF and IS-IS.

Abstract: A new solvent formulation is invented for removing cured adhesive and coating. It solves the problem that crosslink polymers only can be swelled, and a mechanical force has to be applied to remove the adhesive. The new solvent can dissolve the UV cured crosslink polymers very fast and clean the substrate meanwhile.

Abstract: This application proposes a solution for providing fast auto-recovery of the control plane network against a control link failure in an optical communications network. The described solution applies to both protected and unprotected control channels. If a control channel is protected, the solution is triggered only when the protection control channel cannot resume the connectivity. In a control link failure situation each node in a neighboring pair attempts to find an alternate control route before informing the network manager of the link failure. If an alternate route is established, the control plane is quickly re-established without involving system resources.
