Abstract: Provided is a softening agent for textiles characterized by containing a compound (A) and a crosslinking agent (B). The compound (A) is a non-silicone compound having a polyoxyalkylene chain in the molecule, and has a functional group (R1) capable of producing an ether, an ester, or a nitrogen-containing compound upon reacting with the crosslinking agent (B).

Abstract: A communication device (alternatively, device) includes a processor configured to support communications with other communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. In some examples, the device includes a communication interface and a processor, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. The device receives a non-binary low density parity check (NB-LDPC) coded signal. The device then decodes the NB-LDPC coded signal using a NB-LDPC matrix to generate estimates of information bits encoded therein. The NB-LDPC matrix is characterized by a base proto-matrix having elements that represent sub-matrices, and the elements are selected from a finite Galois field that includes symbols.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for managing various Regulations, Policies and Risks (RPR). These RPR are managed for supporting Governance, Risk and Compliance requirements of an organization. The method includes defining a tree structure for a context. The tree structure is defined for one or more RPR and one or more roles of a plurality of users of the organization. The RPR are intervened across various trees. A plurality of nodes is defined for the tree. Each node includes a plurality of attributes and one or more attribute functions.

Abstract: An N-Tiered enterprise and/or N-Tiered Web-based enterprise system and methods for managing, monitoring, coordinating the procedures of and optionally controlling a fleet of geosynchronous satellites through a distributed network such as the Internet. The system and associated object oriented software architecture seamlessly supports monitoring and analyzing real-time, near real-time, historical/playback, simulated and archived satellite telemetry as well as Tracking, Telemetry and Control (TT&C) ground system generated data products such as real-time alerts, archived alerts and ground system server statuses from a group of legacy distributed TT&C wide area network (WAN) ground station systems located around the world.
