International Classification:

G06F017/00

US Classification:

7071041, 707102, 707 3, 707101, 707103 R

Abstract:

A method for generating application-specific input files for applications that require input files in varying file formats, where data for specifying industrial equipment are stored in a database of a computer system as XML-formatted files, which are based on a class model, and a modular transformation into at least one application-specific input file takes place. One or more of the XML files are loaded into a memory, decoded, interpreted and verified—particularly with regard to semantics and consistency. In the absence of an error specifications of objects of the industrial equipment are generated in XML format based on the verified XML files by using an interface containing descriptions of the functionality of the respective applications. The at least one application-specific file is generated via canonical transformation from the generated object specifications in XML presentation.

Abstract:

A method of tracing data on a network for a Web request that detects events of the Web request as the Web request is serviced. The method provides a unique identifier (ID) for the Web request. The ID is associated with all events for the Web request in a trace log. When such events occur in the servicing of the Web request, each event is recorded with the ID of the Web request in a trace log. The trace log can be accessed via the ID to debug a Web request service failure.

Abstract:

Graphitic nanotubes, which includes tubular fullerenes (commonly called “buckytubes”) and fibrils, which are functionalized by chemical substitution or by adsorption of functional moieties. More specifically the invention relates to graphitic nanotubes which are uniformly or non-uniformly substituted with chemical moieties or upon which certain cyclic compounds are adsorbed and to complex structures comprised of such functionalized nanotubes linked to one another. The invention also relates to methods for introducing functional groups onto the surface of such nanotubes. The invention further relates to uses for functionalized nanotubes.
