Abstract:
A method for maintaining filaments in position when manufacturing composite parts through a filament winding process. In its most basic form the method includes a first step of applying resin impregnated filament (16) onto an elongate mandrel (12). A second step is involved of winding yarn (32) onto the elongate mandrel (12) overlying the resin impregnated filament (16), to maintain the resin impregnated filament (16) in position and under tension.
Abstract:
A dual function portable stereo unit including a portable playback mechanism adapted to generate an unamplified audio signal upon the actuation thereof. The playback mechanism comprising a standard output jack for communicating the audio signal therefrom whereby the playback mechanism may be employed portably with a set of standard headphones in a first mode of operation. An amplifier and associated speakers are adapted to allow the amplification of the unamplified audio signal and further transmit the amplified audio signal via free space. A control unit is situated within a glove box of a vehicle and electrically connected to the inputs of the amplifier for manipulating the unamplified audio signal and further allowing the selective transmission thereof to the amplifier. The control unit further includes an input jack adapted to receive the unamplified audio signal and allow the employment of the playback mechanism within the car as a car stereo in a second mode of operation. Finally, a control unit is adapted to releasably couple between the input jack of the control unit and output jack of the playback mechanism for allowing the transmission of the unamplified audio signal from the playback mechanism to the control unit.
Abstract:
A method and system comprising: receiving travel request data; retrieving schedule data associated with the travel request data from the database, the schedule data being further associated with a scheduled travel time; retrieving availability data associated with the travel request data from the cache, the availability data being further associated with an available travel time; and sending the schedule data and the availability data via a computer network.
Abstract:
A system and method for booking and expensing travel products and services utilizing multiple data sources and presenting information pulled from the multiple data sources in one user-friendly format. The following features are included: graphical city selection; policy enforcement; request and approval queues: in-browser agent support; request prioritization; email confirmation and integration; data incorporation into expense reports; and expense report audits. For example, an employee books a ticket, has the booking approved by a manager if needed, receives email confirmation and integrates the booking information into the employee's calendar. The employee also submits, for example, the booking information into an expense report, which can be audited by an employer.
Abstract:
An all-in-one toner cartridge for use in a printing device has toner containers that are operably associated to form a cylindrical toner cartridge designed for insertion into and removal from the printing device as a single unit. The all-in-one toner cartridge rotates within the device to deliver the different toners from the respective toner containers for exposure to a rotating toner transfer drum within the printing device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a programmable data collection and relay circuit for a towed hydrophone array. The circuit is designed to prepare data concerning operation of the array to be interleaved with substantive data produced by the hydrophones to produce a single data stream for transmission to recording equipment. The circuit comprises (1) a plurality of sensor inputs, each of the sensor inputs adapted to be coupled to a sensor capable of sensing a physical characteristic within the towed hydrophone array, (2) a circuit for polling at least a portion of the plurality of sensor inputs to determine values of the inputs, (3) a circuit for storing programmed data concerning which of the plurality of inputs is to be polled and (4) a circuit for serially placing the input values in condition for insertion into a data stream transmitted along the towed hydrophone array.
Abstract:
Fantasy Bingo is a blend of the traditional Bingo game and fantasy sports, whereby the squares of the bingo card are replaced with sports achievements for players to unlock with real-world performance. Embodiments described here within generally relate to systems, methods, and Apparatus for utilizing artificial intelligence and data science to improve probability calculations related to fantasy sports. For example, the NBA 3 pt attempts/game increased from 2.8 to 29 between 1980 to 2018! The AI system can dynamically adjust our probability calculations to best fit with the trends in sports. Fantasy Bingo can also be played over multiple games based on cumulative statistics.

Abstract:
A method for installing poles in rock surface which includes the step of firstly drilling an annular hole in a rock. The annular hole being drilled such that a centrally positioned core of rock remains extending upwardly through the annular hole. Next, a pole is provided that has a first end and a second end; with a socket positioned at the first end. Finally, the first end of the pole is positioned within the annular hole such the central core of rock is received in the socket at the first end of the pole to provide additional stability to the pole.
