Multiple responses are received and a single collated response is sent back to the client that initiated the request. A request context table is provided which includes an anchor context and dependent contexts corresponding to each of the servers, and a session count for tracking receipt of all responses for each server. An internal cache of server addresses is also maintained.

Abstract: An electrical connector pair has a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector which can be connected thereto. The first electrical connector has a multiplicity of contacting elements which can be brought into contact with contacting elements of the second electrical connector through relative movement of the two connectors in a contacting direction. The contacting elements are arranged in one or more rows extending in a row-alignment direction. The contacting elements of the electrical connectors of the pair can be brought into contact with a given amount of play in a transverse direction orthogonal to the contacting direction and to the row-alignment direction. The play is effective on either one or both sides and permits a mutual offset of the electrical connectors and is greater by a multiple than a play provided in the row-alignment direction.

Abstract: A method for growing of oriented whisker arrays on a single-crystalline substrate consists in vapor-phase transport of the material to be crystallized form a solid-state source body of the same composition as the whiskers to the substrate coated with liquid-phase particles that serve as nucleation/catalyzing centers for the whisker growth. The source body has a plane surface that is faced to the substrate and parallel to it so that a vectorly-uniform temperature field, whose gradient is perpendicular to both the substrate and the source, is created. The vectorly-uniform temperature field is realized by an apparatus with high-frequency heating of specially designed bodies that are arranged in a special position in respect to the high-frequency inductor. Laser and/or lamp heat sources can be also used either separately or in combinations with the high-frequency heater. In the apparatus, the material source is heated, while the substrate takes heat from the material source. In another case, the substrate is heated, while the material source takes heat from the substrate.

Title: Process and device for transmitting sound
Inventor: ROCK MICHAEL
IPC: H04R1/02
Filed: 1997-03-06
Granted: 1999-09-22
Abstract: The aim is to improve a process and device for transmitting sound with the aid of at least one sound-transmission element which emits sound signals that can be perceived by a person, so as to ensure that low-frequency sound signals, as well as medium- and higher-frequency sound signals, can be transmitted very effectively in a technically simple and therefore inexpensive manner. To that end it is proposed that at least one sound-transmission element should be so arranged on the listener's body as to create a direct sound-transmission pathway from the sound transmission element via the Eustachian tubes to the auditory ossicles.

Abstract: A folding hanger apparatus particularly useful in luggage has two central portions which are hinged together a pivot between an open position and a closed position, and a hook portion having a hinged connection to one of the central portions. Clothing placed upon the hanger can be hung in an unfolded condition when the hanger is in the open position, and the hanger can be folded to the closed position while clothing is hanging thereon so that the clothing can be hung in a vertically folded position within a confined container such as luggage. The hook pivots to a position pressed against the clothing to prevent the clothing from sliding off the folded hanger. When the hanger is in the unfolded position, the hook portion can be pivoted to an extended position to be used to hang the hanger from a conventional closet rod. A pant loop is provided to permit pants and other garments to be suspended from the bottom of the hanger. The pant loop is movable from side to side to permit the loaded hanger to balance when in the unfolded position, and to permit the hanger to pivot to the folded position. A useful trolley system within a luggage case permits the hanger to be temporarily secured in the folded position within the luggage case. <IMAGE>

Second, the pressure on the liquid is increased in a first pressurization stage. Next, the liquid is increased in pressure in a second pressurization stage. Fourth, the liquid is held at an elevated pressure for a predetermined period of time to kill off microorganisms within the liquid. The liquid is then rapidly depressurized to fracture microorganisms within the liquid. The apparatus for producing this process includes a continuous liquid treatment system with a pump, a first stage intensifier, a surge drum, a second stage intensifier, a pressure receiver and a pressure reducer. A particulate treatment system may also be included which comprises a pressure receiver, an intensifier, and a recoverer for blending a particulate component with the liquid component. <IMAGE>
