An ECM apparatus includes a stationary cathode tool having a passage, and a drive mechanism for moving a bar-shaped workpiece through the passage of the cathode tool while simultaneously rotating the workpiece. Electrolyte flows, from a manifold on one end of the cathodic tool to a manifold at the other end, through the passage, between the wall of the passage and the workpiece. An electric current is simultaneously established in the electrolyte, between the wall of the passage and the workpiece. The internal shape of the cathodic tool wall has a gradual transition from a circular entry opening to a lobed exit opening, and lobes formed in the wall of the tool are shaped so that they twist in the direction of workpiece rotation, in order to form helical lobes in the workpiece.

A system and method automatically, in real-time, create and maintain records of customer use of a telecommunication network for diverse types of service and costs. Each customer use of the network is collected and tagged in a record as an event for each switching device in the network. Real-time event correlation based upon all tags is performed and combined into a standard record for each event. Additional information, e.g. pricing, tax, service is incorporated into the standard record as a basis for billing the customer for use of the diverse types of services and costs on the network.

A contact lens comprising a corneal section, a vertical axis, and a shape adapted to maintain the lens at an intended orientation. The improvement comprises either a visible horizontal line segment located in the corneal section perpendicular to the vertical axis and/or three visible radial line segments in the corneal section, the first of the line segments located on the vertical axis, and the second and third segments located on either side of the first segment such that the extension of the segments would pass through a geometric center of the corneal section forming two 20.degree. angles. The lens is useful for measuring the rotation of an assymetric lens. Methods for measuring lens rotation using the invention lenses are also disclosed.

A plurality of devices in a system are identified, each device having an operational context. One of a plurality of agents are identified for each of the plurality of devices, which correspond to the device. Data is received from the plurality of agents that describes security attributes of the plurality of devices. Policy data is sent to each of the plurality of agents to cause a set of security policies to be applied to the plurality of devices through the security management instances. Each of the plurality of agents can be provided in a respective security management instance separate from the operational context.
摘要:
This invention is related to a portable texture-spraying apparatus for uniformly dispersing a viscous material. This apparatus broadly includes a tank assembly having a body with an inner wall that defines a sealed cavity, and a piston assembly slidably disposed within the sealed cavity. The piston assembly divides the sealed cavity into an air-side chamber and a material-side chamber by providing an airtight seal therebetween. Additionally an air-control assembly is provided that broadly includes a pressure-control mechanism configured for receiving compressed air and routing a controlled pneumatic pressure to a directional valve configured for adjusting between a dispensing mode and a loading mode. In dispensing mode, the directional valve routes the controlled pneumatic pressure to the air-side chamber biasing the piston assembly toward the material-side chamber. In loading mode, the directional valve releases the air-side chamber to the atmosphere allowing for filling the material-side chamber with viscous material.

A control system which allows electro-pneumatic control of an equalizing reservoir with the capacity to create penalty applications in a purely pneumatic manner. A controller for the equalizing reservoir includes an electro-pneumatic source of pressure or atmosphere responsive to an electrical equalizing pressure control signal and a pilot valve selectively connecting the electro-pneumatic source or atmosphere to the equalizing reservoir in response to pressure in a pilot port of the first pilot valve. A magnetic valve is provided having a first input connected to a second source of pressure, a second input connected to atmosphere and an output connected to the pilot port of the first pilot valve. At least one penalty valve is connected to the pilot input of the first pilot valve and is responsive to a penalty signal to connect the pilot input to atmosphere. A fourth valve has a first input connected to the second input of the first pilot valve and an output connected to a third source of pressure lower than pressure in the equalizing reservoir prior to a penalty signal. The fourth valve connects its first input to its output in response to a penalty signal. A method of initializing the electro-pneumatic source of pressure or atmosphere responsive to an electrical equalizing pressure control signal

A display system may include a frame, column connection members connected to the frame, and column members positioned adjacent one another and rotatably connected to the column connection members. Each column member may include a connector and elongate display members positioned adjacent one another and pivotally connected to the connector. The display system may also include a drive assembly carried by the frame that engages the column connection members to rotate each column member so that selective display members pivot in a predetermined direction during rotation to change the shape of the column members allowing rotation thereof when positioned adjacent one another.
