Title: Method for producing an adhesive closing element
Inventor: TUMA JAN
IPC: A44B18/00
Filed: 1998-11-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an adhesive closing element comprising a plurality of hook elements that form a single piece with a support. Said hook elements are rod-shaped and have enlargements at the ends thereof. A  thermoplastic synthetic material is fed into the gap between two moveable tools in a plastic or liquid state. The tools are driven in such a way that a support is formed in the gap and displaced in a direction of conveyance. The hook elements are formed by forming elements acting on said gap. The hook elements are formed on both sides of the support by the forming elements that are active on both sides of the gap.

Patent CA-2384187-A1 (CA)
Title: Server and network performance monitoring
Inventor: RAZ DAVID
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: The performance of a client-server network is measured by passively monitoring a TCP packet stream between a client and a server during a communications session. The packet stream may be monitored by a device which is local to the client, by a device which is local to the server, or both. By measuring elapsed times between TCP messages associated with selected events or stages of the session, separate response times and other performance parameters are calculated for the network and for the server, including connect time, network latency, server response times, network bandwidth, and server bandwidth.  Because the message stream is monitored at an application-independent protocol layer and without regard to application-dependent events or messages, the method is not limited to specific applications, and does not require advance knowledge of the type of application data requested by the client.
