The present invention includes systems and methods for implementing a locally connected cloud storage device. The locally connected cloud storage device includes a data storage medium; one or more network adapters capable of connecting the cloud storage device to a network; a file system; and an operating system. The operating system and file system are capable of providing an end user access to at least one storage cloud having at least one volume for data stored in the data storage medium. The cloud storage device also includes a user interface capable of receiving commands reflecting desired settings for the end user and the volume. The user interface, upon receiving a command reflecting desired settings, interacts with the file system and the operating system to effectuate the desired settings.

A mixed text and image layout algorithm capable of supporting Unicode text and arbitrary content definitions for geometric layout with worst case two-pass layout placement procedure. Layout of Unicode text requires a number of distinct processing steps commencing with classification of input characters into contiguous groups of identical directionality, writing system and possibly script (and language) followed by mapping of character groups to glyphs for display purposes followed by a layout taking into account font display characteristics, embedded directionality level and shape of container for layout contents. Layout is best-case achieved in a single layout pass and worst-case in two passes. During layout information is cached to facilitate incremental changes to an existing layout in order to minimize refresh operations for editing display purposes. An optional two-pass operation on the layout result may be used to generate ordered rendering operation to support so-called Z-index display. An optimized Unicode character classification method utilizing reduced memory is also disclosed. Additionally a method to selectively display caret location for mixed font and/or directional text is disclosed.

The addition of thin coatings (less than and approaching monomolecular coatings) of persistent release materials comprising preferred compounds of the formula:

RELEASE-M(X)_n-1—

RELEASE-M(X)_n-m-1Q_m,

Or

RELEASE-M(OR)_n-1—, wherein

• • RELEASE is a molecular chain of from 4 to 20 atoms in length, preferably from 6 to 16 atoms in length, which molecule has either polar or non-polar properties;
  • M is a metal atom, semiconductor atom, or semimetal atom;
  • X is a halogen or cyano, especially Cl, F, or Br;
  • Q is hydrogen or alkyl group;
  • M is the number Q represents
  • R is hydrogen, alkyl or phenyl, preferably hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and
  • N is the valence −1 of M,
  • and n-m-1 is at least 1

provides good release properties. The coated substrates are particularly good for a lithographic method and apparatus for creating ultra-fine (sub-25 nm) patters in a thin film coated on a substrate is provided, in which a mold having at least one protruding feature is pressed into a thin film carried on a substrate. The protruding feature in the mold creates a recess of the thin film. The mold is removed from the film. The thin film then is processed such that the thin film in the recess is removed exposing the underlying substrate. Thus, the patterns in the mold is replaced in the thin film, completing the lithography. The patterns in the thin film will be, in subsequent process, reproduced in the substrate or in another material which is added onto the substrate.

The present invention concerns a support element for the manufacturing of pillows, mattresses, toppers and the like, including at least one base layer having at least one upper, in use, support face, and at least one resting portion; a plurality of gel inserts supported by such at least one support face of such at least one base layer spaced apart from one another; at least one coating layer or film applied on top of such a plurality of gel inserts and such a support face, not affected by such a plurality of gel inserts. At such at least one resting portion, each gel insert of the plurality of gel inserts has a greater average thickness than the average thickness of each gel insert of the plurality of gel inserts arranged outside such at least one resting portion.

In a rotary pump having a rotor and a stator in communication with hydrocarbon production tubing, a submersible pump driver assembly includes a drive motor having an output connected by a drive link to the rotor of the pump. A production housing of the drive assembly includes a production passage receiving the drive link in which the output axis of the drive motor is radially offset from the passage. A control line for providing a drive input to the motor is thus suited to extend alongside the production tubing. The driver assembly thus allows for flushing with only a coiled tubing unit as the coiled tubing can be readily inserted past the offset motor and the motor can be optionally run in reverse to improve flushing.

A method for starting up a wind energy plant after an operation stoppage, wherein the wind energy plant has a gearbox in the drive train and an operation management which can control at least one operational variable significant for the strain of the gearbox B of the wind energy plant to a desired value B_Soll, wherein after the operation stoppage, the desired value B_Soll is limited by a maximum value B_Max, which is preset depending on a measured temperature of a gearbox component and/or of a lubricant for the gearbox.

The present invention relates to a modified yeast strain which is prepared by introducing a vector that expresses HMG-CoA reductase (hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase) and farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, and a method for producing squalene using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y2805 modified yeast strain that is transformed with a vector including the HMG1 gene, and ispA or Erg20 gene, and a method for producing squalene with high efficiency by culturing the modified yeast strain.
