Abstract:
A method of managing application service provider product line variations is disclosed. The method includes receiving a client customization request, creating a configuration managed file tailored to the client customization request, binding the configuration managed file to at least one customizable resource, and deploying the customizable resource to a data store. The customizable resource is instantiated after disposition at the data store.
Abstract:
This invention provides methods and apparatus for protecting data transmitted using standard compression techniques such as Huffman coding. After input data is preprocessed (filtered, quantized, etc.), the data is encoded using a Huffman coder based on Huffman codes or code books which have been scrambled to change the order of the code books and/or codes from established standard Huffman code books and/or codes. When the transmitted information is received by a Huffman code receiver, the received data may be decoded using the scrambled Huffman code book/codes to obtain the data that was transmitted by the transmitter.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a modular die unit comprising a plurality of individually shaped plates wherein the shaped plates are stacked in face to face juxtaposition, and when placed into such a juxtaposition exhibit useful polymer forming attributes heretofore unattainable by prior art practices. Single die plates are formed such that the plates exhibit a finite geometric relationship, which in turn provides resistance to flexural deformation of the individually shaped die plates and conversely, improved resistance to variability of the modular die unit and enhanced and predictable formation characteristics of the polymer material formed therewith. Each of said single die plates within the stack forming the modular die unit exhibit an x-direction, a y-direction, and a z-direction, wherein any one of said single die plates exhibit in said x-direction and y-direction to have at least a 50% planar continuity of the total planar continuity.
Abstract:
2-Methallyloxyphenol precursor to 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-hydroxybenzofuran is prepared selectively and in good yield in the etherification of an alkali metal catecholate by methallyl chloride in an improved process using the same solvent medium for both the precursor and the hydroxybenzofuran, the process characterized by a solvent medium comprising an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, the medium also containing an amine selected from alkylamines and N-heterocyclic amines. The amine forms a quaternary salt with the methallyl chloride in situ to catalyze the etherification and the aromatic solvent permits rearrangement of the product and Claisen closure to a benzofuran intermediate without solvent exchange.
Abstract:
Processes for producing 4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone and intermediates for it from known and inexpensive starting materials are described and exemplified.

Abstract:
The invention provides compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use of certain compounds that are antagonists of the chemokine CXCR4 receptor, and in particular to inhibit viral entry of certain viruses. Certain compounds in particular can reduce entry of immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into a cell while not reducing the capacity of stem cells to proliferate, and therefore can be useful for long term treatment regimes. The compounds are useful in particular in the treatment or prevention of HIV infections.
Abstract:
A magnet assembly specifically, but not exclusively, structure to facilitate the placement and mounting of a magnet in a predetermined, preferred orientation within a pocket or like compartment of a support structure, such as a mattress liner overlying a support surface of a mattress. A stabilizing member is dimensioned, configured and structured with the with interior boundary portions of the compartment and is secured to the magnet such that the preferred orientation of the magnet within the compartment is stabilized due to the cooperative structuring between the stabilizing member and the interior of the compartment in which the magnet and stabilizing member are jointly disposed.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for selectively removing catechol from a mixture comprising catechol, 2-methallyloxyphenol, various salts, and by-products by treating the mixture with aqueous base, the aqueous phase being preferably saturated with respect to salts present; the catechol may then be recovered for recycle by acidifying the resulting aqueous phase and extracting the acidified aqueous phase with a suitable organic solvent.
