Abstract: An apparatus and method of operating a network traffic policing module includes a data ingress port configured to receive data frames transmitted over the network, a data egress port configured to transmit a set of the data frames to the data egress port and a logic device configured to execute a set of compliance tests on the data frames received at the data ingress port and transmits to the data egress port only a set of data frames that are compliant with the set of compliance tests.

Abstract: This invention relates, in part, to newly identified methods of using quinolone antibiotics, particularly a gemifloxacin compound against certain pathogenic bacteria, particularly quinolone resistant S. pneumoniae and rare H. influenzae strains.

Abstract: A method, structure, and method of design relating an electrical structure that includes a metal voltage plane laminated to a dielectric substrate. A determination is made as to where to place an opening for venting gases generated during fabrication of the dielectric laminate. An identification is made of a problematic opening in the metal voltage plane that is above or below a corresponding metal signal line within the dielectric laminate, such that an image of a portion of the corresponding metal signal line projects across the problematic opening. An electrically conductive strip is positioned across the problematic opening, such that the strip includes the image. In fabrication, the dielectric substrate having the metal signal line therein is provided. The metal voltage plane is laminated to the dielectric substrate. The opening in the metal voltage plane is formed such that the strip is across the opening and includes the image.

Abstract: An apparatus for calcining a granular or powdered mineral, more specifically hydrated calcium sulphate, comprising a vessel the side wall or walls of which slope inwardly toward a bottom of small cross-sectional area, as compared with an upper region of the vessel, and provided with a downwardly extending heating tube connectable in an upper portion to a gas source and an opening in a lower portion into the interior of the vessel adjacent to the bottom thereof, the arrangement being such that, in use, hot gases issuing from the lower portion of the heating tube will mix and heat substantially all the contents of the vessel.
