Mold having electrical heating film for treating cast material

Electrical heating of a body of curable material (concrete or plastic) the solidification of which can thereby be accelerated, is effected by an electric resistance heating film in extended form in good heat conductive contact with the body and energized according to a predetermined law. The film may be on or near the surface of the body and escape of heat away from the body hindered by thermal insulation or the atmosphere. The body is usually held in a mould which may be pre-hardened plates of the material. For bodies of irregular shape the film may be embedded in skeletal eg. tree-like form. In large structures the film may be in voids between large aggregate and the curable material pumped into the voids.

Method for switching protocols transparently in multi-user applications

An application programming interface implements a method for transparently switching from one communication protocol to another and for restoring the state of a previous connection. The application programming interface executes on a local, client computer, as well as remote computers. It includes functions that multi-user application programs can call to communicate in a device independent manner with other applications executing on remote computers. To support communication on a variety of different computer communication protocols, the application programming interface accesses programs called service providers that implement the communication protocols and support the message passing model of the interface. The application programming interface can transparently switch the protocol on a remote computer by sending a system message to a compatible version of the interface on the remote computer that includes an identifier of the service provider for the new protocol. In response to the message, the application programming interface loads the new service provider and takes steps to set-up a new connection. The application programming interface can also restore the state of previous connection on a remote computer by sending a system message. In response to this message, the application programming interface on the remote computer retrieves the previous connection state from an MRU stack and loads the service provider for the previous connection.

Neutron activation analysis

ABSTRACT Neutron activation is used to analyse the silicon and aluminium content of samples of material, such as bauxite ore and coal. The analysis can be performed on bulk samples, on material on a moving conveyor belt, or on the walls of a borehole. The method involves high energy neutron irradiation of the sample, measurement of the thermal neutron flux in the sample, and monitoring the gamma radiation from the sample at energies of (a) 1.78 MeV and (b) 0.844 MeV and/or 1.015 MeV. Such gamma radiation is produced on decay of (a) 28Al and (b) 27Mg isotopes, produced by the reactions 28Si(n,p)28Al and 27Al(n,p)27Mg. A single gamma ray detector is used. The analysis preferably utilises equations which include terms to compensate for (a) the production of radiation at 1.78 MeV as a result of the production of the isotope 28Al from 27Al by the thermal neutron reaction 27Al(n,y)28Al, and (b) the Compton scattering of 1.78 MeV gamma radiation and background. -oOo-

Providing an administrative path for accessing a writeable master storage volume in a mirrored storage environment

A technique provides an administrative path for accessing a writeable master storage volume in a mirrored storage environment. Illustratively, a writeable master storage volume stores a master set of data addressable by a corresponding pathname, and zero or more read-only (e.g., load-balancing) mirrored storage volumes are configured to store a mirrored set of the master set of data, the mirrored set also addressable by the corresponding pathname. Clients may read data from either the master storage volume or one of the mirrored storage volumes (e.g., according to a configured access location, such as a local mirrored volume if one exists) by issuing read requests having the corresponding pathnames. Also, each client may specifically access the master set of data from the master storage volume by issuing an access (e.g., read/write) request having a specified master storage volume pathname prefix prepended to the corresponding pathname.

1,155,082. Portable containers. P. EISLER. 16 June, 1966 [17 June, 1965], No. 59086/68. Heading B8D. [Also in Division F2] A container material for packaging goods needing heat processing comprises a convolute or spirally wound wall of laminated material, at least one of the laminµ being an electrical heating film consisting of patterned foil. The outer layers of the material may comprise spirally-wound and adhesively-laminated paper 52, 53 with an outermost layer 51 of aluminium foil. These outer layers may include plastic or elastomeric films, cellular material or reinforcing steel strips. The inner layer may be aluminium foil strip.54 with seamed edges 55, or may be a plastics film strip, such as polypropylene, the edges of which are sealed together as at 57 during winding and may be overlapped. Preferably the heating film is located between layers 54 and 53 or 56 and 53. As shown in Fig. 3, a heating film 61 has a wide bus-bar margin 62 which is folded over and is slightly wider than the rest of the heating film and insulated therefrom. The bus-bar 62 may be bare aluminium foil or may be backed by a plastics film 63. Metallic end closures of the finished containers may make electrical contact with the heating films, or alternatively, where insulating end closures are used, the foil pattern of the heating film is bared on at least two terminal areas. An innermost layer may be applied to a cut-off length of the container material provided with a bottom cover, by blow moulding a plastics material into the soformed drum, or by coating, optionally assisted by energizing the heating film. Foam-forming compounds may be applied and expanded in this manner.

System and method for a sidecar authentication mechanism

A system and method for authenticating an unauthenticated file level protocol using a sidecar authentication mechanism. A client transmits an authentication ticket, UID and list of network addresses to an authentication daemon of a storage system. The authentication daemon verifies the user identity and generates a file system credential that is stored in a cache indexed by an authentication tuple. Received data access operations from a client are compared to authentication tuples by UID and network address and the file system utilizes the stored credential for processing the data access operation.

I/O bandwidth reduction using storage-level common page information

I/O bandwidth reduction using storage-level common page information is implemented by a storage server. In response to receiving a request from a client for a page stored at a first virtual address, the storage server determines that the first virtual address maps to a page that is a duplicate of a page stored at a second virtual address. Or the storage server determines that the first and second virtual addresses map to a deduplicated page within a storage system. The storage server then transmits metadata to the client. The metadata maps the first virtual address to a second virtual address that also maps to the deduplicated page.
