Abstract: Precursor solutions for radiation patternable coatings are formed with an organic solvent and monoalkyl tin trialkoxides in which the water content of the solvent is adjusted to be within 10 percent of a selected value. Generally, the water content of the solvent is adjusted through water addition, although water removal can also be used. In some embodiments, the adjusted water content of the solvent can be from about 250 ppm by weight to about 10,000 ppm by weight. With the appropriate selection of ligands, the adjusted precursor solutions can be stable for at least about 42 days, and in some cases at least 8 months.

Abstract: A method includes, based on a request from a payor to initiate a remittance payment, determining a start time for processing the remittance payment and calculating an initial processing duration attributable to a remittance provider computer system and associated with the remittance payment. The method also includes determining availability of a partner associated with the remittance provider computer system to process the remittance payment, wherein the availability of the partner is determined according to the start time and the initial processing duration and based on calendar information received from the partner. The method also includes calculating a partner processing duration for the partner to process the remittance payment, and calculating a date of availability for a payee to access the remittance payment, wherein the date of availability is calculated based on the availability of the partner to process the remittance payment and the partner processing duration.

Abstract: An approach is provided to present station location information to one or more mobile devices. A request is received to provide station location information to a mobile device. Station location information is generated, in response to the request, the station location information including station location information of one or more radio stations that correspond to the location of the mobile device. The station location information is transmitted to the mobile device.

Abstract: An apparatus for fiber optic testing is presented. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus may comprise a plurality of fiber optic connectors for coupling to one or more fiber optic cables, one or more photodetectors operatively connected to the plurality of fiber optic connectors, an optical power measurement module operatively connected to the one or more photodetectors, a display for displaying information received from the optical power measurement module, and one or more user controls for accepting user input.

Abstract: A computer network environment (10) allowing connection of a client system (36) to a legacy host system (18,19) using a server (26) is provided. The computer network environment (10) includes a legacy host system (18,19) having TCP/IP connectivity. The legacy host system (18,19) is operable to support a terminal session for access to the legacy host system (18,19). The computer network environment (10) also includes a server system (24) executing a client thread (28) under a server (26). The client thread (28) is operable to communicate with the legacy host system (18,19) across a persistent TCP/IP socket connection (30). The computer network environment (10) further includes a client system (36) executing an applet process (42) under a web browser (38). The applet process (42) is operable to communicate with the client thread (28) across another persistent TCP/IP socket connection (44) and is operable to provide a terminal session to a user of the client system (36).

Abstract: An information system (10) including a plurality of computer systems is provided. The information system (10) includes a first computer system (16) having an IBM System/360/370 I/O interface channel (18). The first computer system (16) is operable to communicate SNA and non-SNA protocol information via the IBM System/360/370 I/O interface channel (18). The information system (10) includes a second computer system (40) having a SCSI bus (38). The second computer system (40) is operable to communicate SCSI protocol information via the SCSI bus (38). An adapter (36) is coupled to the IBM System/360/370 I/O interface channel (18) of the first computer system (16) and the SCSI bus (38) of the second computer system (40). The adapter (36) is operable to interface the SCSI bus (38) with the IBM System/360/370 I/O interface channel (18) to allow bi-directional communication between the first computer system (16) and the second computer system (40).
