Abstract: System and method for performing application server load balancing. Requests may be mapped from a client computer(s) to a set of application servers configured in a cluster. In various embodiments, different load balancing methods and criteria may be used. For example, the client computer(s) may be operable to make the load balancing decisions, e.g., based on the lowest response time seen from the application servers. The system may also be configured so that load balancing decisions are made by load balancing services running on the application server computers. A variety of load balancing criteria may be used, including server load factors such as CPU load, disk input/output rate, number of requests queued, etc. Decisions may also take into account various application component performance criteria, such as the application server that most recently ran a component or whether or not cached results for a component are available on an application server. The application server system may also support "sticky" load balancing, so that requests issued within the context of a particular session that reference an application component are all processed by the application component instance running on the same application server. The client computer(s) may be operable to maintain information regarding sticky requests so that sticky requests can be sent directly to the correct application server. In various embodiments, the application server system may also enforce even distribution of sticky requests. In various embodiments, the system may support "graceful distribution" methods that utilize a winner-take-most rather than a winner-take-all strategy.

Abstract: A method for non-invasively determining functional cardiac output (FCO) and/or venous blood CO2 partial pressure (PvCO2). The amount of CO2 (VCO2<N>) released from the blood and end capillary blood CO2 content (CcCO2<N>) are determined from measurements from exhaled breathing gases. The CO2 content of the breathing gases inhaled by the subject is increased to increase lung CO2 concentration and reduce CO2 gas exchange in the lungs of a subject. Values for VCO2<R> and CcCO2<R> are obtained in a time period less than that required for blood recirculation in the body. A regression analysis is performed using the obtained VCO2<N>, VO2<R>, CcCO2<N>, and CcCO2<R> values. The regression line is extrapolated to obtain a value for CcCO2 when (VCO2) is zero. Under this condition, the CO2 content of venous blood (CvCO2) will be the same as CcCO2, so that CvCO2 becomes known. The CvCO2 thus determined can be inserted in a non-differential form in the Fick equation, along with VCO2 and CcCO2 values from normal breathing, to determine FCO. As the CO2 content of venous blood remains relatively constant, FCO can be determined for subsequent breaths of the subject on a breath-by-breath basis using the determined CvCO2 value and VCO2<N> and CcCO2<N> values from the subsequent breaths. The accuracy of these subsequent determinations can be improved by calibrating CvCO2 based on subsequent CcCO2 values. To determine PvCO2, CvCO2 is altered in accordance with the amount of oxygen in the venous blood, to correctly indicate PvCO2. By using a calibrated CvCO2 value, PvCO2 can be provided on a breath-by-breath basis. The method can also be practiced by reducing lung CO2 concentrations and using values for VCO2 and CcCO2 obtaining before and after the reduction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A card, in particular credit card, identity card, bank card or the like is proposed that includes a plurality of laminated layers between which a security element with a relief structure, in particular holographic diffraction structures, is embedded. The materials are selected so that the softening temperature of the security element layer having the relief structure has a higher softening temperature than the card layers between which the security element is laminated. This permits the multilayer laminated card to be produced by conventional laminating methods without appreciably impairing the relief structure by the pressures and temperatures thereby occurring. Special combinations of materials and in particular suitable materials for the layer having the relief structure are proposed.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated optical device and such a device, comprising a structure including at least one waveguiding element are presented. A basic structure is formed containing a substrate material carrying a buffer material layer coated with a core material layer of a higher refraction index as compared to that of the buffer layer. The at least one waveguiding element is defined in a guiding layer on top of the basic structure. The guiding layer is made of a material with a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the buffer layer and the core layer, and is chosen so as to minimize a height of the at least one waveguiding element and to provide effective guiding of light in the core layer. A cladding layer is formed on top of the so-obtained structure, wherein a height difference between the cladding layer region above the waveguiding element and the cladding layer region outside the waveguiding element is substantially small resulting in a desired flatness of the top cladding layer to allow direct formation of a further waveguide structure thereon and prevent significant perturbations in light propagation within the further waveguide structure.

Abstract: A cigarette inspection device includes four sensors, two for sensing the ends and one for sensing the middle portion of a cigarette to detect loose tobacco and filter presence at the ends, and the presence of a foil band at the middle portion. The fourth sensor provides machine timing information to determine the three conditions of detection. Binary information is then input to a PLC for data reduction and rejection, if the conditions are not present. The program in the PLC allows the end of the cigarette to be scanned multiple times for loose tobacco. Also, foil sensing and filter sensing are done along with the loose tobacco sensing. A shift register is loaded with the resultant detection data, and a reject valve or similar device is operated to remove faulty cigarettes from the product stream.
