Abstract:
A monitoring tool, including an obstructor portion operatively arranged to impede fluid flow past the monitoring tool when the obstructor is engaged with a corresponding seat member. A disintegrable portion is included formed from a material operatively arranged to disintegrate upon exposure to a selected fluid. A gauge is coupled with the obstructor portion and the disintegrable portion. The gauge is operatively arranged to monitor one or more parameters and released from the obstructor portion when the disintegrable portion is disintegrated by the selected fluid. A method of monitoring one or more parameters is also included.
Abstract:
The present invention is premised upon a through-roof connector assembly comprising one or more photovoltaic building sheathing elements capable of being affixed on a building structure, the photovoltaic building sheathing element including a sheathing element electrical connector along a sheathing element peripheral edge; a through-roof connector edge piece assembly that abuts a portion of the photovoltaic building sheathing element and includes: a body portion, an edge piece electrical connector, one or more wire leads that are connected on one end to the edge piece electrical connector; a wire guiding member with at least one conduit hole, the wire guiding member located under the through-roof connector edge piece assembly when assembled; and an under-roof junction device that is removably connected to the wire guiding member.
Abstract:
Managed code, including applications, runtime, and driver, have a priori knowledge of the client's exact hardware configuration, just as the JIT compiler has a priori knowledge of the microprocessor type on the target computer system. At compile time, the compiler knows the effective version various system drivers, so that the compiler can emit an executable tuned for a particular driver version and target system.
Abstract:
A requirement for a versioned resource is fulfilled, particularly in light of compatibility constraints of the requirement. Versions of the versioned resource are associated with compatibility information, such as a feature version and a service version, for example. In fulfilling the requirement, compatibility logic may be applied to identify versions that are compatible with the requirement, and selection logic may be applied to select a preferred version from the compatible versions.
Abstract:
A method for making a thermoplastic, thermally-conductive interface article is provided. The method used to make the interface article involves injection-molding a moldable composition into molding members. The moldable composition contains a base thermoplastic elastomer matrix, thermally-conductive filler material, and temperature-activated phase change material. The thermally-conductive articles can be used as thermal interfaces to dissipate heat from heat-generating electronic devices.
Abstract:
A high speed packet access (HSPA) protocol architecture includes an HSPA NodeB, an HSPA radio network controller (RNC), and a core network. The HSPA NodeB includes a user plane (UP)/control plane (CP) transmit (Tx) lower radio link controller (RLC) functional layer, a UP/CP receive (Rx) lower RLC functional layer, a medium access control (MAC) functional layer, and a physical layer. The HSPA RNC includes a radio resource controller (RRC) functional layer, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) functional layer, a UP/CP Tx upper RLC functional layer, a UP/CP Rx upper RLC functional layer, and a physical layer. The HSPA NodeB is in communication with the HSPA RNC and the HSPA RNC is in communication with the core network.
Abstract:
A system for transacting business with customers is disclosed. The system includes a dispatch division receiving a complaint from a customer related to a problem the customer is experiencing. The dispatch division then deploys a technician to repair the problem. While the technician is conducting the repair, the system permits the technician to interact with the customer and negotiate and close deals for additional or modified products, services or features that the customer may want. The system also includes provisions for allowing the technician to retrieve information related to the customer and includes features that automatically notify various appropriate business offices for follow-up with the customer.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for facilitating lossless handover in a wireless communication system comprising at least one wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a source evolved Node B (eNB), a target eNB, and a mobility management entity/user plane entity (MME/UPE) where the WTRU is in wireless communication with the source eNB. The source eNB determines to handover the WTRU to the target eNB, requests status reports from the WTRU, and requests handover to the target eNB. The handover request includes context information relating to the WTRU which is sent to the target eNB. The target eNB configures resources for the WTRU and transmits a handover response signal to the source eNB. The source eNB commands the WTRU to perform a handover to the target eNB and forwards data to the target eNB. The WTRU performs the handover to the target eNB.
