摘要:
The invention relates to synthetic hybrid rock compositions, articles of manufacture and related processes employing mineral waste starting materials such as mine tailings, mine development rock, ash, slag, quarry fines, and slimes, to produce valuable articles of manufacture and products, which are characterized by superior physical and structural characteristics, including low porosity, low absorption, increased strength and durability, and retained plasticity. The resulting materials are compositionally and chemically distinct from conventional synthetic rock materials as demonstrated by scanning electron microprobe analysis, and are useful in a wide variety of applications, particularly with respect to commercial and residential construction.

A heat exchanger and method for making a heat exchanger including, forming an annular ring of a solid heat conductive mass, the annular ring having a central axis and having axially opposite faces. A plurality of passages are drilled through the annular ring and through the opposite faces to provide passages for the flow of a fluid through the passages and transfer of heat energy between the mass and the fluid. The passages are preferably parallel to the axis and have a circular cross section and are arranged in a plurality of circumferentially spaced sets of passages, each set having a plurality of radially spaced passages.

The present invention is generally directed to a process for hot embossing a base sheet and/or to a process for perforating and bonding multiple plies of a paper product together. The process can be used in order to apply a decorative pattern to a paper product and/or to bond multiple ply products together. In one embodiment, the process of the present invention includes feeding a previously formed single ply or multi-ply base sheet through a heated embossing nip. As the base sheet passes through the heated embossing nip, sufficient heat and pressure is imparted to cause the fibers within the sheet to begin to melt or glassinate. Upon cooling, inter-fiber bonding occurs resulting in a well-defined embossment as well as bonding between plies of a multi-ply product.

An electronic viewing tablet is provided with a uni-body display and touch screen system. The device includes a large display, connectors for USB, flash ROM ports (such as Smart Media, Compact Flash and Secure Digital/Multi-Media Flash) protected behind a waterproof access door, a wireless network interface, a momentary contact switch and a waterproof access panel for servicing the internal battery. An inductive charging system may be provided to recharge an internal battery. A microprocessor based electronic communication and control system controls the electronic components of the device. The electronic tablet allows a user to acquire content and applications on a personal computer or network or purchase data and images on removable flash media. Applications, data and images (electronic books, magazines, newspapers, text files, sheet music and “printed” files) may be downloaded to the tablet through a USB connector, a wireless connection, or through a ROM port. Once loaded onto the tablet, written material may be read wherever the user chooses, independent of the computer or network. A user interface presents simple commands to the user, presented in a graphical fashion on a display, allowing the user to navigate the information stored in the device and execute the applications that are present. Soft buttons on the touch screen allow the user to interact with the tablet.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a mobile device having a controller to present media content provided by an interactive television (iTV) network, select a function during presentation of the media content to store at least a remaining portion of the media content, wherein the function is selected when the presentation of the media content is to be interrupted, store the media content in a memory location of the mobile device, select the function to retrieve the remaining portion of the media content from the memory location, and present the remaining portion of the media content. Other embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
Adaptive failover occurs between a Layer Three (L3) based network tunnel and a Layer Four (L4) based network tunnel. An example of a L4 based network tunnel is a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) tunnel and an example of a L3 based network tunnel is an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) tunnel. SSL tunnels work through most firewalls and proxies, but may introduce latency and other performance problems. IPSec tunnels provide a more efficient performance, but may not work through some firewalls and proxies. The techniques include dynamically selecting a tunneling protocol in order to achieve a more efficient network tunnel performance when possible while maintaining consistent L3 connectivity from a variety of remote network environments.

A solar module includes a photovoltaic device that has an edge seal. The sealant composition of the edge seal includes an unsaturated or reactive polyolefin, an olefinic polymer, a silane modified polyolefin, inert fillers, a water scavenger or desiccant, an antioxidant, and a UV stabilizer. These components are balanced to produce a sealant having desirable sealing characteristics, high weatherability, desired rheology, low conductivity, and good thermal stability.

A virtual private network (VPN) client for cellular mobile devices is described. The VPN network client processes network packets for securely tunneling the network packets between the cellular mobile device and the remote VPN security device. Upon establishing the VPN connection, the VPN network client receives a web-based home page from the secure VPN device via a secure response, dynamically parses bookmark links from the secure response and renders a bookmark window using input controls native to the cellular mobile device without invoking a web browser on the cellular mobile device. Each of the input controls corresponds to a different one of the bookmarks parsed from the secure response. Upon selection of one of the input controls, the VPN network client formulates and outputs an appropriate request to the secure VPN device as if a corresponding one of the bookmark links were selected by the user.
