摘要:
A crimping tool for connecting a cable fitting to the end of a cable is made up of an elongated body having a lever arm pivoted at one end of the body to actuate a plunger having a chuck at one end toward and away from axially slidable die portions on the body, and the die portions can be expanded to permit insertion of the connector sleeve and cable into engagement with the end of the chuck and contracted to apply a uniform crimping force to the fitting in response to an axial force applied to the chuck to increase the crimping force causing the die portions to be further contracted into crimping engagement following which the die portions can be expanded to release the fitting and cable from the tool.
摘要:
A system and related techniques generate an update to control programming, such as firmware, to embed in an electronic document and transmit to a printer, facsimile or other output device. Compatible printers or other output devices according to embodiments of the invention may contain an intermediate language interpreter which receives, interprets and executes the embedded update in the electronic document. That update may include for example an update to the printer's firmware, downloaded forms, fonts or other updates or enhancements which may for instance stored into EPROM or other memory in the output device. Because the resource update is encapsulated in an intermediate language object which may be universally interpreted by compatible printers, facsimile machines and other devices, updates may be delivered with a need to generate specialized code or follow specialized procedures for specific manufacturer's products.

A system and related techniques detect and manage the set of rights associated with a componentized electronic document, including to separately protect and manage individual text, graphic, audio, video or other parts of a multimedia presentation. Unlike prior digital asset management platforms which could enforce encryption or other protection simply around the entire object, the invention permits individualized control over separate media components, to permit distribution for example of some parts, such as text passages, while preventing unauthorized access or copying of audio, photographic, video or other files or content. The electronic document may maintain a list of media components and the set of rights associated with each such component, and a content server or other source may apply key encryption or other safeguards to guide the delivery of the overall media object or its parts, for instance to view in a browser, print on a printer or otherwise access, manipulate or output the content.

Use of diketopiperazine derivatives of the formula I, in which the variables have the meanings explained in the description, as photostable UV filters in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations for protecting the human skin or human hair against solar rays, alone or together with compounds which absorb in the UV region known per se for cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.
摘要:
A method of refurbishing a lithium-containing energy storage and/or conversion device is disclosed, wherein the energy storage and/or conversion device includes electrodes and an electrolyte, and wherein the method includes substantially removing the electrolyte from the energy storage and/or conversion device, substantially removing waste products from surfaces of the electrodes, and adding a new quantity of electrolyte to the energy storage and/or conversion device.
摘要:
A disconnect device for use in oil well and gas well servicing operations. The device comprising a mandrel having one or more locking formations, and a hollow, female member in which the mandrel is releasably securable. The female member includes one or more lugs that are moveably retained relative to an inner surface thereof by a first retainer member engaged with at least one retainer formation formed in each lug. Each lug includes one or more locking formations. The disconnect device includes a second locking member that is moveable into and out of engagement with the retainer formation of each lug respectively to lock the lug in the first position and release it therefrom to permit its movement to the said second position.
摘要:
An API (Application Programming Interface) for an adaptive computing system (ACS) may be used to create a system for performing an application on different types of ACS platforms. The API may be used to generate a system object including a host and a number of nodes and channels. A system data structure is created which describes the nodes, which may be FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)-based ACS accelerator boards. The API may enable source-code porting and scaling from small research platforms to larger field-deployable platforms.
摘要:
On-line communications methods and systems are shown that operate between a website operator and a website visitor visiting a website. A visitor list is maintained that includes visitors currently accessing operator contact-enabled web pages. A visitor path record is maintained that corresponds to at least one visitor in the visitor list by recording information about web pages that a visitor accesses. The visitor may be assigned to a group based on the visitor path record. Information is transmitted to a website visitor in the list of visitors based upon information compiled for the visitor path record. Information is received from the website visitor in response to the transmitted information. The information transmitted to the visitor may include an inquiry or a web-page selected from a pre-determined list, or a dialog with an operator.
摘要:
A ported electroacoustical device uses the action of the port to provide cooling airflow across a heat producing device. The device includes a loudspeaker enclosure including a first acoustic port, and an acoustic driver, mounted in the loudspeaker enclosure. The device also includes a heat producing device. The acoustic driver and the acoustic port are constructed and arranged to coact to provide a cooling, substantially unidirectional airflow across the heat producing device, thereby transferring heat from the heat producing device.
