Abstract: A system and method for recovering from failures in the disk access path of a clustered computing system. Each node of the clustered computing system is provided with proxy software for handling physical disk access requests from applications executing on the node and for directing the disk access requests to an appropriate server to which the disk is physically attached. The proxy software on each node maintains state information for all pending requests originating from that node. In response to detection of a failure along the disk access path, the proxy software on all of the nodes directs all further requests for disk access to a secondary node physically attached to the same disk.

Abstract: A liquid ℓ-n-menthol composition contains 30 to 80% by weight of (-)-n-isopulegol and is prepared by mixing 20 to 70 parts of liquid menthol at a temperature of not lower than 42°C, as obtained in the production of ℓ-n-menthol, with 30 to 80 parts by weight of (-)-n-isopulegol. 20 - 80% by weight of the (-)-n-isopulegol may be replaced with 3-ℓ-n-menthoxypropane-1,2-diol. The liquid ℓ-n-menthol composition is a cheaper replacement for conventionally-available menthol and yet has an improved feeling of coolness (the bitterness in particular being reduced); moreover, the composition has excellent workability and hygienic properties in use. By replacing part of the (-)-n-isopulegol component with 3-ℓ-n-menthoxypropane-1,2-diol, both the odor of menthol and the irritation of the skin by menthol can be softened, and the feeling of mildness enhanced.

Abstract: A retractable needle syringe of the present invention includes an elongate barrel having an inside surface defining a chamber, an open proximal end and a distal end. An elongate plunger is slidably positioned in fluid-tight engagement with the inside surface of the barrel. The plunger includes a distal end, a proximal end extending outwardly from the open end of the barrel, and a radially directed projection on the distal end of the plunger rod. A movable carrier is positioned in fluid-tight engagement with the inside surface of the barrel, the carrier includes an outside surface, a distal end, a proximal end, and a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber. The proximal end of the carrier includes an open-ended groove which is sized and shaped to receive the plunger projection. The groove includes an axial portion and a circumferential portion. The plunger is movable axially, distally and proximally, so that the plunger projection can enter and exit the axial portion of the groove. Rotation of the plunger with respect to the carrier causes the projection to enter the circumferential portion of the groove containing or trapping said projection so that said plunger rod can apply axially directed force and rotationally directed force to the carrier. A needle cannula projects outwardly from the distal end of the carrier. The cannula includes a distal end, a proximal end and a lumen therethrough in fluid communication with the passageway of the carrier. Control structure is provided to prevent movement of the carrier with respect to the barrel during normal use of the syringe while the control means is in a first locked position, and the allowing the carrier to be moved proximally into the chamber of the barrel through forces applied to the plunger while the control means is in a second unlocked position.

Abstract: A telecommunications carrier other than the carrier of last contact is arranged to a) recognize that the telephone to which a particular call is placed is a disconnected telephone and b) provide different call treatment for the call, e.g., different call handling or different call features or services, as compared to the treatment the telecommunications carrier provides for the same call to the same telephone when it is recognized that the telephone is not disconnected. Advantageously, no effort is wasted in an attempt to complete the telephone call to a disconnected telephone. Such different treatments include 1) simply making no attempt to route the call to the disconnected telephone via the network of last contact, 2) routing the call to a secondary, alternate telephone, and 3) initiating transmission of a page to a pager that is associated with the owner of the disconnected telephone.

Abstract: A drum type drying/washing machine performs drying without the flow of cooling water during a predetermined period of time or a period of time determined in accordance with an amount of clothes, and after the passage of the period of time, the machine starts the flow of the cooling water so as to perform drying with cooling-dehumidication. The drum type drying/washing machine, at the initial stage in the drying operation, also performs not only heating clothing but also rotating a drum at a high speed to dehydrate the clothing. A drum type drying/washing machine rotates a drum at an almost maximum rotational rate at which, in a low speed rotation, materials to be processed can roll over in the drum, or at a rotational rate above which, in the low speed rotation, the materials to be processed as a whole stick to the inner peripheral wall of the drum, and the drum is accelerated to a high speed rotation only when output from an unbalance detecting device is a predetermined level or less.

Abstract: An optical amplifier (e.g., 14) having high overall gain and low gain tilt, useful in an optical transmission system or the like. The amplifier has a doped optical fiber (e.g., 20) as the amplification medium and two pumps (e.g., 25, 26), the shorter wavelength one propagating with the signal being amplified and the longer wavelength one propagating opposite the signal being amplified. A wavelength selective reflective fiber grating (e.g., 30) is disposed along the doped fiber to reflect the second pump signal. The addition of the grating allows the amplifier to have a higher gain with a lower gain tilt than amplifiers without the grating. Positioning the grating along the fiber allows for the control of the overall gain with respect to the gain tilt for a given fiber length.

Abstract: Low temperature separation of a stream of hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4) and hydrocarbons with 3 and/or 4 carbon (C) atoms, previously subjected to dehydrogenation, involves cooling the dehydrogenation stream rich in 3-4 C hydrocarbon to low temperature by mixing it with (part of) the H2 separated and discharging a stream rich in 3-4 C hydrocarbon from the separation process. The novel features are as follows. Cooling and partial condensation of the stream of H2, CH4 and 3-4 C hydrocarbons and warming and vaporisation of the dehydrogenation stream rich in 3-4 C hydrocarbons, mixed with (part of) the H2, is carried out in a single heat exchanger with only one other (process) stream concerned in the heat exchange between these 2 streams. The other (process) stream is a liquid side stream rich in 3-4 C hydrocarbons obtained from low temperature separation.
