Abstract: A slatwall mounting system includes a rail member and a mounting arrangement. The rail member includes longitudinally extending upper and lower edges, a longitudinally extending upper slot portion including a downward extending undercut a longitudinally extending lower slot portion including an upward extending undercut. The mounting arrangement includes a bracket member having a downward oriented hook portion and a mounting aperture, and a cam assembly having a mounting cam assembled with a user graspable cam driver, the cam and cam driver defining an annular groove for securing the cam assembly to the mounting aperture. The mounting cam is rotatable between a slatwall securing position for mounting engagement with the lower slot of the rail member, and a slatwall releasing position, in response to user manipulation of the cam driver.

Abstract: A one-part, pressure activated chemiluminescent material is disclosed. The free-flowing powder is made by coating microcapsules, filled with a solvent and dye, with a powdered oxalate and a solid source for hydrogen peroxide. The reaction begins when the capsules are crushed, releasing the solvent, which dissolves the oxalate and the source for hydrogen peroxide. The resulting reaction transfers energy to the dye, which produces light.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for implementing flow control coordination in a gateway between a TCP/IP network and a second network. The second network may be any type of network, including another TCP/IP network. In some implementations, the throughput of the TCP/IP network is controlled by modifying the round trip time observed by a TCP connection. In other implementations, the throughput of the TCP/IP network is controlled by modifying the size of the TCP window.

Abstract: This patent covers infrared phosphorescent materials which exhibit extended persistence lifetimes and are composed of mixtures of the elements zinc, antimony, gallium, tellurium, oxygen and nitrogen, and are doped with varying amounts of chromium, neodymium, dysprosium, yttrium or thulium. A typical formula is given by Zn(1-n %-m %-l %)SbxGa2-xTezO4+2z-yNy: n % Cr3+, m % P, l % Q, where Zn is zinc, Sb is antimony, Ga is gallium, Te is tellurium, O is oxygen, N is nitrogen. Additionally, x (0 to 2) y (0 to 0.5) and z (0 to 1) are the molar concentration in the composition. Cr3+ is the doped chromium ion, P is a codopant and Q is a second codopant and n, m, l are the concentration respectively (m,m,l are from 0.1 to 10). An example is the material ZnSbGaTeO5.95N0.05:3% Cr3+, 1% Nd3+, which has an emission peak at 760 nm and a persistent time of over 20 hours (measured with Fluorolog-3 spectrometer with a PMT detector).

Abstract: Bimetallic hybrid nanostructures exhibit enhanced properties beyond a single composition nanoparticle, but present technical challenges for synthesis that includes the ability to process two or more materials while offering control over structural arrangement. Unlike conventional synthetic strategies, biological systems are excellent manufacturers of complex inorganic materials which possess maximal functionality, quality, and structures. Using a bio-mediated approach, Applicants have developed a synthetic method for the controlled synthesis of bimetallic nanostructures using multifunctional peptides.

Abstract: An Algorithmic Reactive Testbench (ART) system is provided for the simulation/verification of an analog integrated circuit design. The ART system is a high level simulation/verification environment with a user program in which one or more analog testbenches are instantiated and operated as prescribed in an algorithmic reactive testbench program, and the properties of the unit testbenches (test objects) can be influenced by prior analysis of themselves or other tests. The test object may also contain various properties including information reflecting the status of the test object. The modification of a property of a test object is an act of communication in the ART system from the algorithmic reactive testbench program to the test object.

Abstract: In packet-drop attacks in ad hoc networks, a malicious network node chooses to selectively drop packets that are supposed to be forwarded, which results in adverse impact on application good-put and network stability. A method and system for detection of packet-drop attacks in ad hoc networks requires network nodes to report statistics on IP flow packets originated, received, or forwarded to neighbors. These statistics are analyzed and correlated to determine nodes suspected of dropping packets.
