Abstract: Correlating network activity through visualizing network data and with identifying entities associated with targeted activities and correlating therewith other activities from those entities. Network traffic is classified into a number of conceptual views of network traffic, each instantiating view objects that are a representation of network traffic that satisfies a set of conditions. Configuration files define a hierarchy, the structure of the hierarchy; and its makeup. Any point on the hierarchy can be accessed using its Graphical Request Language (GRL) designation. Further GRL designations are used to label views associated with a point. A plurality of view objects are linked to corresponding view object databases. Define new view objects using one or more GRL does correlation and combining using logical operators: Generate a new list of addresses from the GRL address lists and place all current and subsequent traffic for those machines in the new view object.

Inventor: GUNDALE BENJAMIN P
IPC: H01L23/367
Filed: 2003-06-09
Abstract: A method of enhancing the heat dissipating properties of a rigid substrate plate through creation of an array of erect spaced-apart parallelly disposed metallic fins projecting from the heat dissipating surface of the plate. The fins are created by superimposing a sheet of metallic foil upon a metallic plate, with the foil being bonded to the plate by welding utilizing ultrasonic energy. The welds are formed as spaced-apart parallel bands, with the foil being slit adjacent one edge of the band, with the foil thereafter being folded outwardly to form the heat dissipating metallic foil fins. The folding operation is undertaken following the steps of populating the substrate, thereby eliminating the requirement for unusual steps or precautions to protect what otherwise would be outwardly extending metallic fins.

IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2002-01-11
Abstract: A mono-diameter casing formed when a tubular liner and an expansion cone are positioned within a new section of a wellbore and the tubular liner is overlapped with a pre-existing casing. A hardening fluid is injected into the section of the wellbore below the level of the expansion cone and into the annular region between the tubular liner and the wellbore. The inner and outer regions of the tubular liner are isolated. Then a non-hardening fluid is injected into the interior region of the tubular liner to pressurize it below the expansion cone. The overlapping portion of the pre-existing casing and the tubular liner are then expanded using an expansion cone.

Title: Radial byproduct trap and filter assembly for a cooking appliance
Inventor: ARNTZ TIMOTHY J
IPC: A21B1/26
Filed: 2003-06-20
Abstract: A quick-cook type convection cooking appliance includes an oven cavity in communication with an air channel assembly incorporating a radial byproduct trap and filter assembly defining a concentric ring-type baffle filter having two cylindrical sets of opposing air baffles. As recirculating air passes outwardly between deflectors of the baffle, the air is accelerated by a nozzle-type effect prior to impacting a center zone of an outer baffle deflector. This arrangement causes part of liquid and/or solid phases, such as grease, fats, and moisture, of the air flow to be deposited or trapped between the baffles. The air flow is then redirected back towards the inner baffle where, once again, the air impacts an inner baffle deflector that removes additional byproducts from the air. Finally, the air exits with a high uniform air flow pattern between respective deflectors of an outer baffle.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé in vitro destiné à améliorer la complémentarité d'une séquence polynucléotidique hétéroduplex. Ce procédé consiste à hybrider des brins opposés afin de former un polynucléotide duplex avec des mésappariements. Le polynucléotide hétéroduplex est combiné avec une quantité efficace d'enzymes possédant une activité de clivage de brin, une activité exonucléase de 5' en 3', et une activité polymérase, et laissant un temps suffisant pour accroître le pourcentage de complémentarité dans l'hétéroduplex. Tous les polynucléotides hétéroduplex n'auront pas tous leurs mésappariements résolus à la complémentarité. Le polynucleotide qui en résulte est éventuellement ligaturé. Plusieurs polynucleotides différents en résultent. Aux endroits où l'un des brins opposés calibre le recodage dans l'autre brin, la complémentarité de pourcentage résultante de la séquence polynucléotidique hétéroduplex est augmentée. Les polynucleotides parents doivent être clivés en fragments avant l'hybridisation des brins hétérologues. C'est pourquoi le réassemblage n'est pas nécessaire.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a roof flashing assembly for use on a sloped roof surface having an elongate projection extending substantially upwardly therefrom in skewed relation thereto. The roof flashing assembly has a resilient, flexible, sleeve sized to fit over, and surround, the protection. The sleeve has a base portion, a neck portion and a passageway defined therebetween for receiving the projection therethrough. A bellows tube is formed on the neck portion to permit the sleeve to flex adaptively to accommodate for the skewed orientation of the projection relative to the sloped roof surface. The roof flashing assembly also includes a grommet which is positionable in surrounding relation with the projection. The grommet has three beveled lip members, which frictionally sealingly engage the exterior surface of the projection when urged in abutting relation therewith. An annular gasket positionable below the base portion of the sleeve, is also provided. The gasket frictionally sealingly engages the external surface of the projection. When urged in abutting relation with the sloped roof surface, flexible ring seal members formed on the underside of the gasket create a watertight seal with the roof surface.  During installation, anchoring means are used to secure the sleeve and the gasket to the sloped roof surface.
