Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for enabling design of a product such as a colored plastic having a visual effect caused by an additive. In one embodiment, a user such as a designer at a first computing unit is able to interact with a second computing unit operable to provide a generally accurate representation of the product having the visual effect. Desirably, the user inputs information relating to the additive such as a flake material or a diffuser material and the system provides a representation displayable on a display or monitor of the first computing unit of the product having the visual effect based on the information relating to the additive. The design of the product having the visual effect is advantageously stored on the second computing unit and accessible by at least one second user such as a marketer or manufacturer for review of the design. Further, the users can order plaques of the designed product having the visual effect so that a comparison of the product having the visual effect to actual samples of the product can be made before a production order is placed.

Abstract: Live virus vaccines comprise attenuated viruses, while other vaccines comprise killed viruses or parts thereof. It has now been found that the immune response induced by oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), which is a live vaccine, is cross-reactive with non-polio enteroviruses. OPV is therefore useful in the prevention of non-polio enterovirus diseases, especially Type 1 diabetes mellitus (IDDM). OPV is also useful in combination with killed/subunit non-polio enterovirus vaccines, whereby it prevents harmful side-effects of the killed/subunit vaccine by shifting the immune response from a harmful Th2- type response to a Th1 type response.

Abstract: The vectored thrust nozzle consists of a ring of convergent flaps pivoted to the outlet end of a fixed annular structure (2), and a ring of divergent shutters pivoted to the outlet end of the convergent ones. The divergent shutters are also connected to a vectoring ring (13) by a series of power cylinders (20) anchored to the fixed structure to permit adjustment of the nozzle's outlet section and deviation of the ejected gas flow relative to the axis of the engine. The power cylinders are connected to the vectoring ring by ball joints (22) and are connected to the fixed structure so they can withstand the tangential forces produced by the gas flow impinging on the divergent shutters. The body (26) of each power cylinder is articulated at its forward end to the fixed structure so it can pivot in a radial plane, and has a sliding sleeve (25) connected to the vectoring ring by the ball joint.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for dynamically discovering and utilizing an optimized network path through overlay routing fort he transmission of data. A determination whether to use a default network path or to instead use an alternate data forwarding path through one or more overlay nodes is based on real-time measurement of costs associated with the alternative paths, in response to a user request for transmission of message data to a destination on the network. Cost metrics include delay, throughput, jitter, loss, and security. The system chooses the best path among the default forwarding path and the multiple alternate forwarding paths, and implements appropriate control actions to force data transmission along the chosen path. No modification of established network communication protocols is required.

Abstract: A method of forming a can end comprises the step of forming a substantially circular metal blank having a periphery and a center panel. An annular recessed panel is subsequently formed in the blank. The recessed panel has a first depth in relation to a substantially annular portion of the blank contiguously formed with the recessed panel. The substantially annular portion of the blank is then coined while the recessed panel is re-formed to a second depth in relation to the substantially annular portion of the blank. The second depth is greater than the first depth. Forming the can end in this manner minimizes warpage of the can end, and thereby allows the can end to be formed from a relatively thin sheet of metal.

Abstract: A first master transceiver (102) of a first wireless network monitors (602) neighboring wireless networks to discover a strongest interfering master transceiver in one of the neighboring wireless networks. The first master transceiver then time-aligns (604) hop intervals of the first master transceiver with the hop intervals of the strongest interfering master transceiver to ensure that a transmission of the strongest interfering master transceiver during each hop interval used by the strongest interfering master transceiver cannot interfere with the transmission of the first master transceiver during more than one hop interval of the first master transceiver, thereby minimizing the probability of self-interference between the first wireless network and the one of the neighboring wireless networks.
