A method for sharing hidden information in a virtual meeting is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes sharing, by way of a web-conference server, a source window presented on a source system with a target window presented on a target system. The method detects selection of a specific area on the target window and correlates the specific area on the target window with a corresponding area on the source window. The method determines whether the corresponding area on the source window links to hidden information, such as a hyperlink, on the source window. If the corresponding area links to hidden information, the method communicates one or more of the hidden information and a link to the hidden information to the target system. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Systems of the present disclosure generate database queries for financial information requested in a natural-language form. A natural-language processing (NLP) financial aggregator receives a request for financial information and extracts NLP features of the request, including keywords. The NLP financial aggregator determines a type of the request based on the features and creates a query in a database-query language for the financial information based on the type and on the features. The NLP financial aggregator submits the query to a database where the financial information is stored. The software then receives the financial information from the database and sends the information to the user.

A thermal interface material (TIM) includes a modified release layer having an organosilane-coated surface covalently bound to a TIM formulation layer. The modified release layer may be formed by applying an organosilane (e.g., vinyltriethoxysilane) to the surface of a thermally conductive release layer (e.g., aluminum foil). The organosilane reacts with hydroxyl groups on the surface of the thermally conductive release layer. The TIM formulation layer may be formed by applying a TIM formulation (e.g., a graphite TIM formulation) containing an unsaturated monomer (e.g., methyl acrylate) to the organosilane-coated surface of the modified release layer, and then curing the TIM formulation so that the unsaturated monomer of the TIM formulation reacts with the organosilane-coated surface of the modified release layer.

A dispensing mechanism includes at least two helical augers having threads, and at least two channels configured to hold the items to be dispensed. The items to be dispensed are received at least partially within the threads of the augers. The dispensing mechanism includes a drive mechanism engaged with the at least two augers and configured to rotate the at least two augers to transport the items to be dispensed, driven by the threads of the augers, to dispense the items from the dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism may include a separable dispenser and cassette.

Operation of a multi-slice processor that includes execution slices and a dispatch network of the multi-slice processor implementing a hardware level transfer of an execution thread between execution slices. Operation of such a multi-slice processor includes responsive to a thread switch signal: halting dispatch of one or more instructions retrieved from an instruction cache; generating a plurality of instructions to transfer an execution thread from a first execution slice to a second execution slice; and dispatching the plurality of instructions instead of the one or more instructions retrieved from the instruction cache; and transferring, in dependence upon execution of the plurality of instructions from the thread switching instruction generator, the execution thread from the first execution slice to the second execution slice.

A carbene-coated metal foil is produced by applying an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) compound to one or more surfaces of a metal foil (e.g., an electrodeposited copper foil having a surface that is smooth and non-oxidized). The NHC compound contains a matrix-reactive pendant group that includes at least one of a vinyl-, allyl-, acrylic-, methacrylic-, styrenic-, amine-, amide- and epoxy-containing moiety capable of reacting with a base polymer (e.g., a vinyl-containing resin such as a polyphenylene oxide/triallyl-isocyanurate (PPO/TAIC) composition). The NHC compound may be synthesized by, for example, reacting a halogenated imidazolium salt (e.g., 1,3-bis(4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride) and an organostannane having a vinyl-containing moiety (e.g., tributyl(vinyl)stannane) in the presence of a palladium catalyst. In some embodiments, an enhanced substrate for a printed circuit board (PCB) is produced by laminating the carbene-coated metal foil to a substrate that includes glass fiber impregnated with the base polymer.

Supplemental instruction dispatch may be used in some instances in a parallel slice processor to dispatch additional instructions, referred to as supplemental instructions, to supplemental instruction ports of execution slices and using primary instruction ports of one or more execution slices to supply one or more source operands for such supplemental instructions. In addition, in some instances, in lieu of or in addition to supplemental instruction dispatch, selective slice partitioning may be used to selectively partition groups of execution slices in a parallel slice processor based upon a threading mode within which such execution slices are executing.
