20100205164 | Maintaining Data Integrity - Data integrity is maintained in an environment in which multiple instances of a software component each can include multiple processes capable of accessing a shared resource. Each instance of the software component can be either an “active” instance (which is allowed to update data) or a “standby” instance (which is not allowed to update data). At any point in time, the environment does not comprise more than one active instance. There can, however, be more than one standby instance. Preferably, a single standby instance can become a new active instance in the event of a complete failure of the active instance, i.e. a failure associated with every process of the current active instance. | 08-12-2010 |

20090113441 | Registering a resource that delegates commit voting - A computer system and storage medium that, in an embodiment, receive an allocation request for a resource and registers the resource as a non-voting participant if the resource desires to delegate commit voting to another resource. The registered resource is then prohibited from participating in an enclosing transactional context and instead is informed when the transaction completes. The resource is enlisted as a voting participant if the resource does not desire to delegate commit voting. In this way, when multiple resources are used in a transaction, a resource may be registered and receive notifications of transaction completion instead of being enlisted and voting on commit decisions. The result of a transaction in which a single resource takes responsibility for a number of other resources is that transaction completion avoids the two-phase commit protocol and the resulting performance degradation. | 04-30-2009 |

20090286435 | Method for Producing, and a Substrate with, a Surface with Specific Characteristics - The invention relates to a method of rendering the surface of a substrate, or at least part of the substrate, to have increased protein resistance. This is achieved by applying an n-substituted glyconic derivative onto the surface of the substrate, or areas or domains of the substrate surface, to allow the pattern resistance to be changed in those areas where the material is applied. In one embodiment the deposition is performed in or in conjunction with a plasma. | 11-19-2009 |

20140315780 | PRODUCT - A delivery system for an active substance, comprising a substrate on which the substance is loaded for subsequent release, wherein: (i) the substrate has been at least partially coated with a polymer using plasma deposition (preferably pulsed plasma deposition); (ii) the active substance is present as a guest molecule within a cyclodextrin inclusion complex; and (iii) the inclusion complex is bound to the polymer through a chemical linkage formed between a hydroxyl group on the cyclodextrin and a functional group on the polymer. The system may be used to control the release of an active substance such as a perfume. Also provided are methods for preparing (a) the delivery system and (b) a functionalised substrate for use as part of the system, in which the polymer is suitably reacted with a cyclodextrin using an S N 2 nucleophilic substitution reaction, in particular a Williamson ether synthesis reaction. | 10-23-2014 |
20150017399 | METHOD OF PRODUCING A FUNCTIONALIZED SURFACE AND SURFACES MADE THEREBY - A method of photopatterning rewritable reactive groups onto surfaces using typically a plasmachemical deposition of functionalized materials, followed by molecular printing of inks. Subsequent treatment of the reactive groups allows for surface rewriting and also the method allows for the creation of either positive or negative image multifunctional rewritable patterned surfaces. | 01-15-2015 |
20150065659 | POLYMERIC STRUCTURE - The invention features a method of creating a polymer brush bearing covalently bound polymeric side chains, comprising the steps of: (a) deposition, onto a substrate, of a halogen containing initiator film or a precursor which is derivatized into a halogen containing initiator film; (b) surface ATRP growth, from the halogen containing initiator film formed in step (a), of a polymeric brush backbone incorporating side groups; (c) growth, from the polymeric brush backbone formed in step (b), of polymeric side chains on the polymeric brush backbone, to form a polymer brush in which the polymeric side chains constitute the bristles of the brush. | 03-05-2015 |
20150085335 | CHIROPTICAL SWITCHES - A method for fabricating surface tethered chiroptical switches that constitute polymer chains bearing chromophoric functional groups with the ability to undergo geometrical re-alignment upon irradiation with polarized light to yield a measurable chiral anisotropy, by formation of a layer on a substrate by deposition of a compound containing at least one functional group and attachment of chiro-optical molecule to said functional group. | 03-26-2015 |
