Abstract: Users of an Intranet portal can propose new modules to be added to the Intranet portal. To propose a new module a user has to provide a name (102) and description (104) of the new module. After providing the name (102) and description (104) of the new module, the user can then add the new module to a list (108) of proposed new modules (112). Other users of the Intranet portal can then review the list (108) of proposed new modules (112). In reviewing the proposed modules (112) the other users can obtain the description (104) of the module provided by the user who suggested the module. If the other user likes the proposed new module (112), the other user can vote (114) for the proposed new module (112). The total number of votes (116) for each proposed new module (112) is maintained and then used to determine which modules (112) should be added to the Intranet portal.

Abstract: An improved process flow for an atomic resolution storage (ARS) system (200) deposits
conductive electrodes (434(c)) on a media side of a rotor wafer (220) before wafer thinning process,
i.e., grinding and CMP, thus protecting the conductive electrodes (434(c)) on a media surface (460)
from the grinding process. In addition, the CMOS circuitry (232) is formed in a stator wafer (230) at
a relatively later stage. Therefore, the CMOS circuitry (232) is less likely to be damaged by heat
processing. In addition, some ofthe necessary processing may be performed with loosened thermal
budget. Finally, because wafer bonding of the rotor wafer (220) and the stator wafer (230) is
performed at a later stage, there is less probability of degradation of the wafer bonding. Accordingly,
device yield may be enhanced, leading to lower manufacturing cost.

Abstract: A cigarette filter consists of fibres (12), each made up of a core (20) and a sleeve (21) of two different types of fibre e.g. polyethylene and polyester. The length of the fibres is less than that of the length of the filter.  The fibres are 0.5 to 30 mm long pref. 3mm to 6 mm. The sleeve has a lower melting point than the core. At least one part of each fibre (12) has a cruciform contact point with another fibre (12). The fibres (12) adhere or bond to each other at contact points (18). Also claimed is a process to manufacture the cigarette filter in which the bi-component fibre is manufactured and chopped to a length less than that of the filter. The fibres (12) are heated to a temperature above that of the fibre sleeve (21) and then allowed to cool. The fibres are surrendered to a conveyer belt on which a powder additive is admixed prior to final conversion to filter form.

Abstract: A heater burner capable of automatically controlling a
combustion amount is provided that is easy to design and can
reliably stop its operation before room air is contaminated
regardless of ventilating conditions of the room being heated. 
     The combustion-stop temperature decision means (10)
defines a first combustion-stop temperature (Th1) as a
temperature obtained by adding a predetermined first addition
temperature (AT1) to an initial room temperature (To), a
second combustion-stop temperature (Th2) as a temperature
obtained by adding a predetermined second addition
temperature (AT2), lower than the first addition temperature
(AT1), to a set temperature (Ts), and a third combustion-stop
temperature (Th3) as a temperature obtained by adding a
predetermined third addition temperature (AT3), higher than
the first addition temperature (AT1), to the initial room
temperature (To). When the room temperature reaches a
reference value determined by the combustion-stop temperature
decision means (10), the combustion-stop command generation
means (12) outputs a combustion-stop command to the control
unit (5). Upon receipt of the combustion-stop command, the
control unit (5) stops the fuel supply means (2) and the air
supply fan (3) to stop combustion.
