Abstract: A method for integrating presence services into a telecommunications system that includes a presence server. The method includes receiving a query, by the presence server from service logic, the query including call parameters and call information, regarding a call from a session initiator to a session terminator. The method also includes comparing, by the presence server, the call parameters and the call information with a stored presence profile established for the session terminator, the stored presence profile including preferred treatment information. The method further includes collecting usage information of the session terminator, and automatically generating the preferred treatment information, when the preferred treatment information has not been established. The method then determines a treatment of the call, by the presence server, based upon the stored presence profile and the preferred treatment information.

Abstract: Capsule shells for use in multi-part dosage forms have generally cylindrical shell members with a snap fit component on an interior surface adjacent an open end, for connection to a linker part of the dosage form. The shell member also has a plurality of spaced apart integrally formed thin (relative to circumferentially adjacent shell member portions) panels located adjacent a closed shell member end, for preferential dissolution and release of pharmaceutical compositions from the shell member interior. The ratio of the thickness of the panels to the thickness of the shell member ranges from about 0.2 to about 0.6. The panels can be integrally formed together with the shell member as reliefs or depressions on the inner surface of the shell member by injection molding, and panel thicknesses as thin as about 0.1 mm can be achieved.

Abstract: A dynamo-electric machine, for example a marine propulsion unit, includes a stator and a rotor in the form of an impeller. The impeller is rim-driven and includes an annular core of ferromagnetic material, on which are provided layers in the form of an environmental enclosure and electrically conductive sleeves. Appropriate selection of the materials and thicknesses of the layers enables the starting and normal running performance of the machine to be optimised.

Abstract: A method of communicating on a single serial line between two devices is disclosed. The method includes combining a data stream and a clock to form a three-voltage level stream such that the third voltage level records the transitions of the clock while the serial data is either high or low. Either the first or the second device can send a combined stream on the line. The method further includes, in some embodiments, the second device driving the same voltage levels as those transmitted by the first device and the first device sensing current on the single serial line to determine that the second device has received data from the first device.

Abstract: System of evaluating security of script content. A processor executes computer-executable instructions for defining a policy for the script content in a web page. The script content provides interactions between a user and other content within the web page. The defined policy indicates an execution boundary of the script content. The processor further evaluates the script content against the execution boundary in the defined policy. At run time, the processor transforms at least a portion of the web page in response to the evaluating. An interface transmits the web page with the transformed portion of the script content to be rendered in an application on a host device.

Abstract: A holster and shade used to protect a light stick as well as act as a support therefor. The holster comprises a hollow tubular sheath dimensioned to protect the entire length of the light stick placed therein when in a stored position. When illumination is desired, the light stick is extracted from the holster sheath, reversed, and inserted into the holster, which then supports the light stick with a lens thereof exposed for providing the required illumination.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a system for an engine. In one example, the system includes an exhaust passage through which exhaust gas is configured to flow from the engine. The system further includes an aftertreatment system disposed in the exhaust passage, the aftertreatment system including an aftertreatment device and a bypass with a bypass control element, the bypass control element adjustable to reduce exhaust gas flow through the aftertreatment device during tunneling operation.

Abstract: A doctor blade assembly for use in combination with apparatus for forming a film on a substrate. The doctor blade assembly includes a doctor blade to be mounted on a programmable robot. The doctor blade has a bottom face and spacers at opposite ends of the body of the doctor blade extending a predetermined distance down below the bottom face of the body for contacting a substrate and spacing the bottom face from the substrate. The spacers are adjustable relative to the doctor blade for adjusting the predetermined distance according to the thickness of film to be formed on the substrate. Other aspects and methods are also disclosed.

The entire mechanism is contained within a forward grip mounted on the firearm, the grip optionally being provided with mounting rails.

Abstract: A tracheostomy dilator is curved along its length having a tapering patient end region (5) at one end and an oppositely curved handle region (7) at its opposite end. A passage (10) extends rearwardly along the dilator from its patient end (4) and opens on a side of the dilator at an opening (12) in the handle region (7). The passage (10) is blocked rearwardly of the opening (12) by an insert (2) with a forward ramp surface (23), which directs a guidewire (30). In use, one end of the guidewire (30) projects from the patient end (4) of the dilator and its opposite end extends along the outside of the handle region (7).

Abstract: A clipper seam for joining the ends of a belt, are connected by interdigitated staples which are looped about a pintle and provide barbs on their remote ends to penetrate into the material of the belt. Each end is covered by an edge strip of vinyl by radio frequency welding, and a flap is attached to one end on the low pressure side of the belt by a portion, and folded over to cover the seam on the low pressure side by means of a flap which extends beyond the seam area of the other end. A central area to each side of the seam is impregnated with polyurethane to resist abrasion which tends to concentrate in this area.
