20100198133 | MICROCELLULAR INJECTION MOLDING PROCESSES FOR PERSONAL AND CONSUMER CARE PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING - A method of injection molding produces a microcellular material. In this method, a polymer is melted and blended with a supercritical fluid to produce a single-phase polymer-gas solution. This solution is injected through a nozzle and into a mold.

In emerging from the solution, the gas causes the nucleation of cells that result in a microcellular structure. A foam material comprises a polymer having a microcellular structure formed by the nucleation of micro-cells. The micro-cells are formed by the dispersing of a supercritical fluid in a liquid solution of the polymer when the polymer is subjected to a pressure drop.

20150150113 | ISOLATION PROXY SERVER SYSTEM - An isolation proxy server system separates a typical proxy server or reverse proxy server into two physical computing platforms. A first physical platform, a front end proxy server, receives requests from clients on an external network, but is unable to relay requests by originating corresponding requests on an internal network. A second physical platform, a back end proxy client, originates distinct work requests to the front end proxy server. The front end proxy server forward client requests to the back end proxy client in responses to the distinct work requests it receives from the back proxy client. The back end proxy client relays the client requests to a target server. Thus, the front end proxy server may not originate new requests to the server(s) in the protected zone, and the back end proxy client may not receive new requests from clients or from the front end proxy server. | 05-28-2015 |
