Processor overhead is reduced and processor performance, particularly processing speed and power savings, is improved, allowing real-time processor restarts, by skipping operational codes (opcodes) singly or in groups in accordance with one or more execution bits set during post-processing in opcodes preceding opcodes to be skipped. Thus portions of an application program which consume excessive p...

This inventions discloses a fault or abnormal status detection mechanism applied to distributed networks considering a shared media. A set of programmed routines executing in every node connected to a distributed network establish pairs of inter-monitoring nodes. At system power up, every node searches for another free, unpaired node using random timeout messaging generation to prevent collisions ...

The use of enol ether capped polyether-polysiloxane copolymers as surfactant s in polyurethane foam applications is taught herein. These enol ether capped surfactants exhibit a high capping efficiency and yield good performance. Moreover, they are stable in water/amine premixes.

A biosensor is provided that comprises a plate element with a pre-determined reaction zone and a recess positioned adjacent to the reaction zone. The biosensor also comprises a reagent that is positioned on the reaction zone. In preferred embodiments, the reces s circumscribes at least a portion of the reaction zone.

Aromatic amines of formula (I) where R1 is C1- C10 alkyl or halogen and n is an integer from 0 to 3 are affective in increasing the motor octane number of aviation gasolines to 98 or greater without the presence of lead additives.
