One method involves payment of money to a recipient traveling to one or more foreign countries by entering into a remote computer money transfer information from a sender. The money transfer information comprises recipient identification information, at least one country where the money is to be received, and a payment amount in an originating currency. The money transfer information is transmitted to a host computer system. When ready to receive payment in the designated country, recipient identification information along with a request to withdraw a portion of a possible payment amount is entered into a payout computer. The recipient identification information and the request to withdraw is transmitted to a host computer system, and the requested withdrawal is provided to the recipient in the local currency.

An embodiment of a data misalignment correction method for a mass storage drive array subsystem coupled to a computer operating system having input/output data block requests is provided. The data misalignment correction method includes automatically determining an amount of misalignment between a requested data block and a current data block alignment configuration, using the amount of misalignment to determine a preferred data bock alignment and realigning data block requests on the mass storage device according to the preferred data block alignment.

A system adapts power for minimizing the total amount of transmitted power in a wireless communications network. A transmit station transmits a communications signal requesting a response from receiving mobile stations. A plurality of the mobile stations receives the communications signal and each evaluates the signal reception, such as the signal-to-noise ratio or transmitted power. Each mobile station responds by transmitting a communications signal back to the transmit station in a specific time slot as a function of the signal reception to allow the transmit station to adapt its power based on the time slot of the communications signals received from respective mobile stations. This minimizes the total amount of power transmitted by the wireless communications network.

An elevator system (20) includes a cab (22) supported for movement within a hoistway. A tension device (44) remains close to one end (26) of the hoistway. The tension device (44) maintains a desired tension on a load bearing member (30) that supports a weight of the cab (22) and moves to achieve a desired placement of the cab within the hoistway. The load bearing member (30) extends from the first end of the hoistway toward the cab, wraps at least partially around a first sheave (36) supported for movement with the cab, extends from the first sheave (36) toward the first end (24) of the hoistway, wraps at least partially around a second sheave (38) supported near the first end of the hoistway, extends from the second sheave toward a second end (26) of the hoistway, wraps at least partially about a third sheave (40) supported near the second end of the hoistway, extends toward the cab from the third sheave, wraps at least partially around a fourth sheave (42) supported for movement with the cab, and extends from the fourth sheave toward the second end of the hoistway where it is secured to the tension device (44).
摘要:
The invention is reversibly reducible metal complexes and materials and an organic light emitting device, having an anode; a cathode; and at least one organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, made with the complexes of the invention. The reversibly reducible metal complexes are complexes a redox active metal center and at least one ligand; wherein; following a reduction of the complex, adding 1 extra electron to the complex, the extra electron is localized on the metal center. The complexes may function as an ETL or a host material.

A method and apparatus is provided for cutting an elastomeric laminate that may include a layer of reinforcement cords, into a desired length without cutting through the cords. The method includes the step of cutting through the gum portion of the elastomeric composite material at a desired skive angle, and then opening up the skived cut. Next, the cord reinforcement layer is cut without severing the reinforcement cords. An elastomeric composite strip cut to the desired length is produced and has cut ends. One of the cut ends has the gum portion cut at a desired skive angle adjacent an overhang portion of the reinforcement layer. The opposite end of the elastomeric composite segment also has a skived portion to mate with the skived portion of the first cut end, and a gap in the cord ply to mate with the cord overhang of the first end, resulting in a splice. An improved anvil having independently controlled vacuum zones is also provided, as well as improved cutting mechanisms.
摘要:
A method for utilizing interference fringe patterns generated when milling a trench through a semiconductor substrate by a method such as FIB milling, to determine and optimize the thickness uniformity of the trench bottom. The interference fringes may be mapped and the mapping used to direct the FIB milling to those regions which are thicker to correct observed non-uniformities in the trench floor thickness by varying the pixel dwell time across the milled area. The interference fringe mapping may be used to develop computerized contour lines to automate the pixel dwell time variations as described above, for correcting non-uniformities in the trench floor thickness. The method may be applied to applications other than trench formation for backside editing, such as monitoring progress in forming a milled object.
