20110314329SHARED ERROR SEARCHING - Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with shared error searching for web resource requests are described. A web resource request that includes one or more request strings is received and a error detection directive that identifies a first type of error to be located in a specified request string component is accessed. At least a portion of a first request string that corresponds to the specified request string component is searched, in a single pass, for the first type of error and other types of errors. Results with respect to the first error type are returned while occurrences of the first and other types of errors for are recorded for responding to subsequent error detection directives. Thus, a subsequent error detection directive for the other types of errors in the first request string component may be processed without re-searching the portion of the first request string already searched with respect to the first error detection directive.12-22-2011

20100080510FIBER OPTIC FERRULE - Consistent with the present disclosure, a ferrule is provided that includes first and second channels, for example. Multiple fibers of a ribbon cable, for example, are divided into groups and fed into corresponding channels of the ferrule. Since multiple channels are provided, however, each channel can be made relatively narrow. As noted above, thermal stress in a channel increases with increasing channel widths. Thus, by providing smaller channel widths, the fibers in those channels experience less thermal stress. Moreover, the channels are spaced from one another so that the lateral spacing between adjacent fibers in the ribbon cable is maintained in the ferrule. As a result, the fibers are not bent laterally, and thus may experience little bending stress.04-01-2010
20100158436LOW STRESS PACKAGE - Consistent with the present disclosure, a package is provided in which the PLC substrate, for example, is bonded to the underlying carrier though a limited contact area. The rest of the substrate is detached from the carrier so that stresses are applied to a limited portion of the PLC substrate. The PLC itself, however, is provided over that portion of the substrate that is detached from the carrier, and thus experiences reduced stress. Accordingly, high modulus adhesives, as well as solders, may be used to bond the PLC substrate to the carrier, thereby resulting in a more robust mechanical structure.06-24-2010

20110132839SULFATE REMOVAL FROM WATER SOURCES - An integrated process for removing sulfate from water sources, such as pretreated acid mine drainage (AMD). The multivalent cation (MVC) content of a sulfate stream is reduced by strong acid cation (SAC) ion exchange and sulfate is concentrated with a membrane system and separated as precipitate and overflow. Precipitation results from reaction of sulfate with MVC produced by regeneration of SAC with sodium chloride. The overflow is reacted with carbonate to precipitate MVC, generate sodium chloride and give a further overflow stream. This latter stream is concentrated to a level capable of being a regenerant for the SAC and when needed, used to regenerate the SAC and produce MVC for sulfate precipitation. The process minimizes the use of chemicals by treating, reconcentrating and recycling input species. Capital expenditures are minimized by precipitation of only side streams.06-09-2011
