Abstract: A method and system of casting. The system of casting including a mold, a water inlet, and an outlet valve. The mold including a mold fluid inlet and a mold fluid outlet. The water inlet being selectively fluidly coupled to the mold fluid inlet via a first valve. The mold fluid outlet being fluidly coupled to the outlet valve.

Abstract: This is directed to providing access to content stored on a local cloud. In particular, a device can direct a librarian service overseeing the operation of a local cloud to provide another device with access to content stored on the local cloud. The librarian service can generate credentials for the other device, and provide the credentials to the other device. Using the credentials, the other device can connect directly to the local cloud and access the content. In addition, the local cloud can validate the credentials of the other before providing access to the content. The credentials can include, for example, a key to install or load on the device. The librarian may not require, however, the user to create credentials or register with the librarian before being permitted to access the content on the local cloud.

Abstract: There is provided an electrolyte for the electrodeposition of chromium comprising: (A) water; (B) at least one chromium salt; and (C) at least one complexing agent, wherein the molar ratio of components B:C is in the range of 1:1 to 1:50. There is also provided a method for electrodepositing chromium metal onto a conductive substrate.

Abstract: This is directed to providing access to content stored on a personal cloud. In particular, a personal cloud can be constructed by sharing the resources of several devices owned by a user and by other users trusted by the user. To add a device to a personal cloud, the device can identify its owner to a librarian, which can provide addressing information for other devices forming a cloud on behalf of the owner. The new device can establish a communications path with the other devices, and configure itself based on the services or data required for the personal cloud (e.g., as determined from communications with the other devices). Services operating on individual devices of the personal cloud can migrate dynamically and automatically to ensure that a user can remove a device from the personal cloud at will without adversely affecting the operation of the personal cloud.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing easy access to information and sharing are provided. Embodiments of the present invention enable a host to grant access to published content to one or more users in a manner in which the user(s) can scan small portions of information to decide which information is desired. The embodiments described herein enable, for example, a user to see a library of content that is larger than the storage capacity of the computing unit used by the user. The sharing of information is also secured through the use of auto-lock keys and the creation of abstract identities for the host and each user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for remotely and automatically mounting volumes over a network. The invention uses an interface, such as a web browser, to authenticate a client on a server. The server supplies volume mounting parameters specific to the authenticated client via a plug-in installed on the client. The plug-in then interacts, in one embodiment of the invention, with file system software on the client and automatically mounts the volume(s) in accordance with the supplied parameters.
