Abstract: The present invention provides tissue products having a high degree of stretch and low modulus at relatively high tensile strengths, such as geometric mean tensile strengths greater than about 1500 g/3? and more preferably greater than about 2000 g/3?. The combination of a tough, yet relatively supple sheet is preferably achieved by subjecting the embryonic web to a speed differential as it is passed from one fabric in the papermaking process to another, commonly referred to as rush transfer.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of formula (?) as further defined herein and to the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and salts, and to the uses thereof. The compounds and salts of the present invention inhibit anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and/or EML4-ALK and are useful for treating or ameliorating abnormal cell proliferative disorders, such as cancer.

Abstract: The present invention provides tissue products having increased CD stretch, which may be manufactured using a process in which the nascent web is subjected to two distinct rush transfers. The first rush transfer occurs when the web is transferred from the forming fabric to the transfer fabric, i.e., the “first position,” and the second occurs when the web is transferred from the transfer fabric to the through-air drying fabric (TAD) fabric, i.e., the “second position.” The overall speed differential between the forming fabric and the TAD fabric may be, for example, from about 10 to about 50 percent, with the amount of rush transfer being divided between the first and second position in a manner sufficient to achieve the desired CD stretch and other sheet properties.

Abstract: A soft single-ply tissue sheet is produced by making a textured, high bulk, through dried tissue sheet and calendering the sheet with a high level of compression energy to substantially reduce the bulk and impart improved properties to the sheet.

Abstract: A method for automating contract negotiation between a plurality of parties over a communications network. The parties communicate and agree upon a negotiation protocol before commencing the negotiation in a meta contract that is formed to govern or control the negotiation process. The automatic negotiation may include at least one sub negotiation. Machine-executable rules are specified to enable an automatic negotiation to take place between servers over a communications network. A successful negotiation may result in the formation of an electronic commerce contract. Each party may maintain the contract state of the overall negotiation, which may take place among two or more parties, wherein at least one party may be represented by a broker. Thus, complex negotiations may be handled automatically by the inventive method. The negotiation may be conducted semi-automatically to allow for human intervention in the negotiation process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for preparing indazole compounds of formula I, which are useful as modulators and/or inhibitors of protein kinases. The present invention also relates to intermediate compounds useful in the preparation of compounds of formula I.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a polymer composition that includes initiating a polymerization reaction at an initial set of polymerization parameters, determining an instantaneous split of the at least one property of an intermediate polymer composition, and adjusting the initial set of polymerization parameters based on the instantaneous split of the at least one property to obtain a desired distribution of the at least one property in the polymer composition.

Abstract: The present method is directed to techniques for estimating and periodically controlling the reactor split of alpha-olefin polymerizations using multiple catalysts that selectively incorporate monomers and other reactants into polymer compositions. The method provides for the rapid determination of instantaneous reactor split and cumulative split in polymerization reactors by the use of a novel linear relationship between Incorporation and Reactor Split.

Abstract: A computer system and processing method are provided for coupling multiple physical processing nodes together, wherein each physical processing node is characterized as having its own memory, by either at least one channel which is independent of and coupled to the multiple physical processing nodes or by at least one input/output (I/O) processor, again which is independent of and coupled to the multiple physical processing nodes. The at least one channel and/or the at least one I/O processor couple the multiple physical processing nodes to at least one shared input/output device. Sharing of the at least one channel and/or at least one I/O processor is practical by providing "indirect logical addressing" using logical address tables within the channel subsystem. The logical address tables associate an image identifier (Image.sub.-- ID) and processing node identifier (PN.sub.-- ID) concatenation with an indexed logical address for use in communicating I/O operation parameters across the at least one channel.

Abstract: A computer system for using logical channel groups to indirectly address channels. The computer system includes a processor, a memory, and an input/output (IO) system for transferring information between devices and the processor. The IO system includes channels, channel path identifiers for identifying the channels, logical channel groups having lists of the channel path identifiers, and subchannels having pointers to the logical channel groups. The IO system also includes one or more switches for routing information between the channels and devices.
