Abstract:
Low weight and non-square carpet tile suitable for use in mass transit vehicles, particularly passenger aircraft. The carpet tile preferably weighs less than about 82 ounces per square yard. The carpet tile of this invention may have a carpet pile and at least one backing layer. The backing layer may use a low weight filler material. The carpet tiles satisfy transportation industry standards for flame, smoke and toxicity.
Abstract:
A metal substrate is coated with a layer of ceramic, by spraying droplets of a slurry of a ceramic precursor onto the substrate, the substrate being at a temperature between 500° C. and 750° C. The ceramic comprises alumina, and is made macroporous by spraying a mixture of alumina sol and alumina particles with no more than 35% by weight of dispersible alumina. Spraying onto a red-hot surface in this fashion leads to a very marked improvement in adhesion of the resulting ceramic to the metal substrate. A catalytically active material may then be incorporated in the ceramic layer, so as to form a catalyst structure (16).
Abstract:
A common clock shared by two or more nodes within a network used for time-synchronization. The nodes communicate via a packetized data transmission. Each data packet has a header with a value. The clock includes a first timing portion that includes at least two data packets where the value is constant for each data packet, and a second timing portion that includes at least two data packets where the value is constant for each data packet but different from the value of the data packets in the first timing portion. Alternatively, the clock includes a first timing portion that includes at least two data packets where the value changes with each data packet, and one or more subsequent timing portions each including at least two data packets where the value is constant for each data packet within a subsequent timing portion but changes with each of the subsequent timing portions.
Abstract:
The invention provides an odour-absorbing clothes cover (2) comprising an odour-absorbing sheet material (4), the sheet material defining an enclosure, arranged, in use, to receive an item of clothing (22), the enclosure comprising an opening formed in the front surface of the enclosure. The invention also extends to a method of removing or mitigating odours from an item of clothing.
Abstract:
A communication network (10) utilized for providing communications between a first party and a second party includes a surveillance server (26) within a core network (10) to provide communication surveillance capability. The core network (10) may be a packet data network, and the surveillance server (26) is operable responsive to trigger information to establish communications surveillance. Communication surveillance may be established by creating duplicate bearer packets of those data packets carrying the communicated data between the parties, creating duplicate control packets of those data packets carrying in-band or out-of-band call control information between the parties and within the packet data network, and/or various combinations thereof. The duplicate bearer packets and the duplicate control packets are routed to appropriate authorized law enforcement agencies for providing surveillance.
Abstract:
An Internet Protocol telephone system and method uses a telephone (26) to place and receive voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based telephone calls and public switched telephone network (PSTN)-based telephone calls. An off-hook condition with the telephone (26) is detected and a sequence of signals generated by the telephone (26) is received. At least a first signal generated by the telephone (26) is buffered while the system attempts to detect a predetermined signal that signifies a VoIP-based call. Upon detection of the predetermined signal, the system intercepts subsequent signals in the sequence, absent the at least first signal that was buffered, and places the VoIP-based call via an internet (12). Otherwise, the system places the PSTN-based call via a PSTN (16).
