Abstract: A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and fixed chamber sections (28,29). A dam (33) in the fixed section forms a pond (72) for immersion cooling of the extrudate. A truss (35) extends from the dam to the bulkhead supporting shaping and calibration equipment and extends through the telescoping section. Fluid pressurizable seals at each end of the telescoping section are operable after the telescoping section is closed against the bulkhead and the telescoping and fixed sections are locked together. The telescoping section provide a more compact line and easier access to the complex equipment downstream of the die. The extrudate from the die passes down into the pond (72) and then through an orifice (74) in a hood (75) projecting from the chamber into a lower level portion of the pond (78) exposed to atmosphere. The hood also includes a tractor drive (88) to push the extrudate through the underwater orifice. The hood and its contents are accessible through the atmospheric pond. A tractor haul-off and the tractor drive in the hood are the only extrudate drives between the calibration equipment and atmosphere. The higher level of the pond (72) within the chamber downstream of the dam is controlled by a valve in turn controlling the output of a pump. The valve control senses the pond level and operates independently of the vacuum controls. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and fixed chamber sections (28,29).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for achieving perfect forward security for closed user
groups having X nodes is disclosed. A first data processing device node I (22) is coupled
to a private network which is in turn coupled to the Intemet (20). A second data
processing device node J (30) is coupled to the same, or to a different network, which is
also coupled to the Internet (20), such that node I (22) communicates with node J (30)
using the Internet protocol. A unique secret value and a public value to each of the X
nodes is provided. A context variable N i  is also provided to each of the X nodes. Each of
the X nodes obtain a certificate for other (X-1) nodes and obtains the other (X-1) nodes'
public value (µ j  mod p) from the certificate. Each node in a closed user group
precomputes all shared secrets (e.g., µ (2 N )ij  mod p) for each closed group node. Each node
then deletes its secret (i, j, ..., etc.). As the value of N is incremented, each node may
compute [K ij ] N  for any value of N without the need to recalculate the shared secret. Upon
receipt of a data packet in the context N i  (for a datagram transmitted, for example, by node
I), a receiving node J computes [K ij ] N i    and decrypts the data packet using [K ij ] N . Since it is
not necessary to compute the implicit shared secret between the nodes in the closed user
group, perfect forward secrecy is achieved since a cracker's discovery of the value of
[K ij ] N i   , and thereby the value for a particular N of µ (2 N )ij  mod p, will not assist in
decrypting packets encrypted in contexts earlier than N i .

Abstract: A communication jack assembly suitable for high data
rate applications, includes a wire board having conductive
paths that extend between a jackwire terminal region at a
first portion of the board and a wire-connection terminal
region at a second portion of the board. A number of
spring jackwires extend through the jackwire terminal
region, to connect with a communication plug when placed
in the jackwire terminal region. The jackwires connect at
one end to corresponding conductive paths on the wire
board, and the conductive paths form a part of at least
one communications signal path when the plug is connected
to the jackwires. The conductive paths may be configured
to compensate for crosstalk otherwise developed in a
signal path once the plug is mated with the jack. A
dielectric terminal housing is formed to protect the wire-connection
terminal region on top of the wire board, and a
cover is formed to protect the connection terminal region
on the bottom of the board. The wire board is captured
between the housing and the cover when the housing and
cover are joined to one another.

Abstract: A process for dereticulating a cross-linked polymeric material, such as cross-linked
polyethylene from scraps of electric cable coatings or from unused cable
coatings through a mechanical mixing cycle, wherein the cross-linked material
is subjected to a specific power per mass unit such as to induce shear stresses
in the material itself and temperatures higher than pre-established minimum
levels. At the end of this cycle the material goes back to a thermoplastic state
that may be substantially regarded as thermoplastic; then, following granulation,
cooling, drying and sacking, the material will be ready for re-use, either alone or
mixed with virgin polymers, according to usual operating technologies for
thermoplastic materials. 
     Eventually, the mechanical mixing cycle may be preceeded by a preliminary
crushing cycle of the cross-linked polymeric materials to be treated. Preferably,
the mixing cycle is carried out in a twin-screw extruder with special screw and
temperature profiles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preparing heteromultimeric polypeptides such as bispecific antibodies, bispecific immunoadhesins and antibody-immunoadhesin chimeras. The invention also relates to the heteromultimers prepared using the method. Generally, the method provides a multispecific antibody having a common light chain associated with each heteromeric polypeptide having an antibody binding domain. Additionally the method further involves introducing into the multispecific antibody a specific and complementary interaction at the interface of a first polypeptide and the interface of a second polypeptide, so as to promote heteromultimer formation and hinder homomultimer formation; and/or a free thiol-containing residue at the interface of a first polypeptide and a corresponding free thiol-containing residue in the interface of a second polypeptide, such that a non-naturally occurring disulfide bond is formed between the first and second polypeptide. The method allows for the enhanced formation of the desired heteromultimer relative to undesired heteromultimers and homomultimers.

Abstract: A multiple-wound, three-phase, variable speed motor 1 having
N independent winding sets is driven by N inverters, each responding
to 1/N of the torque and excitation current commands, and the
torque current is limited as a function of N times the limiting current
each inverter may tolerate, when all inverters are functioning. When
M inverters fail, they are disconnected from the motor, the torque
current is limited as function of N-M times the limiting current each
inverter may tolerate. The remaining N-M inverters may each
respond to  1/(N-M)  of the torque and excitation commands. The
excitation current may be maximized as (N-M ) times the limiting
current divided by the square root of two. The speed command may
be predetermined by the integration over an acceleration interval, of
the maximum acceleration achievable with torque available from
those of the inverters which have not failed, in view of the inverters'
current limits.

Abstract: An improved system for increasing the effectiveness of magnetorheological finishing of a substrate. An inline flowmeter is close-loop linked to the rotational speed of a pressurizing pump to assure that the flow of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) to the work zone is constant. A simplified capillary viscometer is disposed in the fluid delivery system at the exit thereof onto the wheel surface. Output signals from the flowmeter and the viscometer pressure sensor are sent to a computer which calculates the viscosity of MRF being delivered to the work zone and causes replenishment of carrier fluid to the work-concentrated MRF to return the viscosity to aim to assure that a constant concentration of magnetic solids is being provided to the work zone. Asymmetric pole pieces for the field magnet at the work zone extend the magnetic field along the wheel surface upstream of the work zone to permit full magnetic stiffening of the MRF before it engages the work piece, while minimizing fringing field in the vicinity of the viscometer, and to shorten the magnetic field along the wheel surface downstream of the work zone.
