  • Publication number: 20060193250
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for thermal management of a processor associated with a network interface are disclosed. According to one method, message traffic is sent and received using a first processor associated with a first network interface. A temperature associated with the first processor is determined. Message traffic is switched from the first processor to a second processor in response to the temperature associated with the first processor having a predetermined relationship with respect to a threshold value. The threshold value can be less than a thermal shutdown level of the first processor.

  • Publication number: 20050029496
    Abstract: A coating composition comprising a solution of a substituted or unsubstituted thiophene-containing electrically-conductive polymer, a film-forming binder, and an organic solvent media; the media having a water content between ’8 and >37 weight percent. Such a coating composition provides a means to protect an imaging element against the accumulation of static electrical charges before and after image processing while also providing the element with improved manufacturability and physical properties.

  • Publication number: 20050031983
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an imaging element comprising at least one imaging layer and a support wherein the support comprises at least one layer comprising a splayant and a layered material, wherein the layered material has an aspect ratio from 20:1 and 500:1 and wherein the layered material comprises less than 10% by weight of the layer. The present invention also relates to a method of making a dimensionally stable imaging element comprising providing a support wherein said support comprises at least one layer comprising a splayant and a layered material, wherein said layered material comprises an aspect ratio of from 20:1 to 500:1 and wherein said layered material comprises less than 10% by weight of said at least one layer; and applying at least one imaging layer.
