Abstract: A gear oil composition is provided. The composition comprises a sufficient amount of an isomerized base oil in a base oil matrix comprising at least at least a polyalphaolefin for the gear oil composition to have for the gear oil composition to have an average volume change in a rubber seal between ?10 and +10, a change in shore A hardness between ?7 and +10 when tested with SRE NBR28 at 100° C., 168 hours per DIN53521 and DIN53505, a viscosity increase of less than 3% per US Steel S-200 oxidation stability test, a precipitation of less than 1% per US Steel S-200 oxidation stability test, and a Timken OK Load of greater than 60 lb. The isomerized base oil has consecutive numbers of carbon atoms and less than 10 wt % naphthenic carbon by n-d-M. In one embodiment, the sufficient amount of isomerized base oil ranges from 20 to 75 wt. % based on the total weight of the gear oil composition.

Abstract: The present invention employs a master node for each job to be scheduled and in turn the master node distributes job start information and executable tasks to a plurality of nodes configured in a hierarchical node tree of a multinode job scheduling system. The status of the various tasks executing at the leaf nodes and other nodes of the tree report status back up the same hierarchical tree structure used to start the job, not to a scheduling agent but rather to the master node which has been established by the scheduling agent as the focal point, not only for job starting, but also for the reporting of status information from the leaf and other nodes in the tree.

Abstract: Synchronous communications between a public electronic environment (e.g., a browser on a global computer network) and a private electronic environment (e.g., an ERP application on a private computer network) are facilitated by automatically routing a communication from the browser to the ERP application through messaging middleware, obtaining by the messaging middleware a reply from the ERP application in response to the communication while the browser and messaging middleware wait therefor, and automatically returning the reply from the ERP application to the browser. Encryption and firewalls are also used for security.

Abstract: A polarization plate is provided for use between a light source and a display panel, where the light source is configured to emit light having a plurality of planes of polarization and the display panel is configured to have a predetermined polarization axis. The plate includes a repolarization region and a prepolarization region. The repolarization region is configured to diffuse and to depolarize or rotate at least one plane of polarization of the light passing therethrough. The prepolarization region is disposed adjacent to and in contact with the repolarization region. The prepolarization region is configured to be substantially nonabsorbent, to allow passage of light having a plane of polarization that is substantially aligned with the predetermined polarization axis, and to prevent passage of light having a plane of polarization that is not substantially aligned with the predetermined polarization axis. In another embodiment, an interface is provided between the regions.

Abstract: An entitled price in an electronic transaction is provided to a public electronic environment (e.g., a browser on a global computer network) from a private electronic environment (e.g., an ERP application on a private computer network) by electronically sending from a requestor a request for an entitled price via a public electronic environment; automatically routing the request to a private electronic environment; obtaining the entitled price within the private electronic environment while the requestor waits; and automatically returning the entitled price from the private electronic environment to the public electronic environment for providing to the requestor.

Abstract: An electronic order confirmation for a made-to-order or out-of-stock item in an electronic transaction is provided to a public electronic environment (e.g., a browser on a global computer network) from a private electronic environment (e.g., an ERP application on a private computer network) by electronically receiving a sales order in a private electronic environment from a purchaser in a public electronic environment; obtaining an electronic including an entitled price and an estimated date of delivery for the item, within the private electronic environment while the purchaser waits; and automatically returning an electronic order confirmation, including the entitled price and the estimated date of delivery, from the private electronic environment to the public electronic environment for providing to the purchaser.

Abstract: A jack and chassis assembly includes a baluns interface connected directly to the in/out wire wrap pins on the jacks. This helps to convert 75 ohm coaxial signals to 120 ohm twisted pair interface signals for equipment connections. The jack and chassis assembly includes at least one jack, a chassis defining a first frame holding the jack, a circuit board mounted to the first frame and in electrical contact with the jack, and a balun in electrical contact with the jack. Methods for assembling a jack and chassis assembly include mounting a jack onto a frame, providing a second frame holding a balun, and connecting the jack to the balun. A chassis assembly includes a first frame, and a second frame, with the first frame being mounted within the second frame.
