Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing resource access to a user within a computer network of the automatic contact distribution system. The method includes the steps of providing a permission set that defines a limited set of features within the computer network that the user can access, the user signing into the computer network of the automatic call distribution system, the system retrieving the permission set for the user and the system providing the user with limited access to the computer system based upon the permission set.
Abstract:
A colorizing composition for adding color to a concrete structure comprises a color additive containing a pigment component, a vegetable oil based diluent, and a vegetable oil based sealer component. The combined sealer and color additive, when applied to a pervious concrete, will permit the flow of water through the pervious concrete.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the use of ADNF polypeptides in the treatment of neurotoxicity induced by chemical agents or by disease processes. The ADNF polypeptides include ADNF I and ADNF III (also referred to as ADNP) polypeptides, analogs, subsequences such as NAP and SAL, and D-amino acid versions (either wholly D-amino acid peptides or mixed D- and L-amino acid peptides), and combinations thereof which contain their respective active core sites.
Abstract:
A method for configuring an enhanced Node B (eNB) in a long term evolution (LTE) wireless communication network includes providing information to the eNB, wherein the eNB can perform a self-configuration process based on the provided information. An eNB for use in an LTE wireless communication network includes a universal integrated circuit card and a service control module. The universal integrated circuit card includes information that the eNB can use to perform a self-configuration process. The service control module is configured to receive the circuit card and read the information on the circuit card.
Abstract:
An activated carbon, disclosed as useful in purification and decolorization of hydrocarbon fuel, particularly gasoline, is characterized by inclusion therein of polymerized phosphoric acid or reduced transition metals. Phosphoric acid may be added to a non-phosphoric acid-activated carbon (such as steam activated coal-based) prior to the subsequent heat treatment or one can take advantage of residual phosphoric acid present in, for example, a phosphoric acid-activated wood-based carbon. Similarly, transition metals such as copper may be added to an activated carbon in a salt form in addition to whatever is already present therein as impurities. The conversion of phosphoric acid to a polymerized phosphate content or reduction of transition metals to a reduced form results from the activated carbon having been treated with inert gas or carbon dioxide at from about 1200° F. to about 1800° F. for at least 5 minutes. Alternatively, the conversion of phosphoric acid to a polymerized phosphate content can occur during phosphoric acid activation of carbon at activation temperatures in the range of 1150°-1600° F.
Abstract:
A golf club holder for removably supporting a golf club above a ground surface, the golf club holder comprising a shaft and a handle that are each coupled to a joint. The handle and the shaft may be movable between a first position where they are substantially parallel, and a second position where they are substantially perpendicular. The shaft may include a ground-piercing member. The ground-piercing member of the first shaft can be pushed into the ground and supported thereby. The golf club holder can be folded up to be transported.
Abstract:
A mounting bracket for a covering for architectural openings such as windows, doors, archways, and the like, includes complementary components on the headrail and the mounting bracket to permit the head rail to be inserted into and automatically locked to the mounting bracket. A lock lever is provided with access forwardly of the head rail that automatically locks the head rail in position on the mounting bracket and conditions the mounting bracket for manual release of the headrail.
Abstract:
A thermally conductive grout for geothermal heat pump systems is disclosed. Preferably, the grout includes graphite and/or natural graphite as a thermally conductive additive in a cementitious base to achieve a composition having a thermal conductivity greater than 4 W/mK.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit (300/400) includes first and second power domains and a bank of input/output (I/O) cells (305/405) coupled to the first and second power domains. The bank of I/O cells (305/405) includes a first plurality of active clamps (374/445) for the first power domain and a second plurality of active clamps (384/425) for the second power domain wherein the first (374/445) and second (384/425) pluralities of active clamps overlap along the bank of I/O cells. According to one aspect each of the plurality of input/output cells (420, 440) has a bonding pad (421, 441) for receiving an output signal referenced to a respective first power domain, and at least one ESD protection element (425, 445) for a respective second power domain. According to another aspect, each of the plurality of input/output cells (420, 440) has a bonding pad (421, 441) for receiving a respective output signal and at least one ESD protection element for each of a first power domain and a second power domain.
