Abstract:
A method for encoding data for transmitting over a telecommunications network comprising: embedding at least one control or pilot data block within a plurality of real data blocks in the frequency domain; transforming real data in the real data blocks with control or pilot data in the control or pilot data blocks; and modulating the real data blocks and control or pilot data block with one or more transmission sub-carrier signals.
Abstract:
A method of making a sheet structure comprising a first polycarbonate layer which comprises a UV-absorbing compound and a second polycarbonate layer comprises: (i) selecting a liquid formulation comprising a vehicle, for example a trimellitate or low molecular weight acrylic and an UV absorbing additive; and (ii) mixing the liquid formulation with polycarbonate when said first polymeric material is in a molten state, for example in an extruder.
Abstract:
Resource constraints for a group of individual application products to be configured for shared resource usage of at least one shared resource within a single operating system instance are analyzed by a resource allocation module. An individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is determined based upon the analyzed resource constraints for the group of individual application products. The determined individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is implemented within the single operating system instance using local inter-product message communication bindings by the single operating system instance.
Abstract:
A novel composition of materials that can be extruded into sheets to form panels to create a sustainable roofing system wherein the panels are formed to interlock with like panels in order to provide a substantially weatherproof covering on a roof. The sheet member has a top layer made of NHFR TPO (Non Halogenated Flame Resistant Thermoplastic Polyolefin) or TPP (thermo-polypropylene) and a bottom layer made of TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)or TPP (thermo-polypropylene). The two layers are co-extruded. Then the materials are thermoformed to resemble more popular types of roof coverings such as shake or shingles or tiles.
Abstract:
Apparatus for delivering a fluid, especially for delivering colourants or the like to a premixer stage of plastics forming equipment, for example an injection moulder of extruder is described. The apparatus includes a fluid supply means (4, 200) connected to a reservoir (8, 208) which is arranged to concertina between minimum and maximum volume conditions. The reservoir (208) is connected via pipeline (24) and peristaltic pump (26) to a delivery means which is arranged to deliver the fluid to a desired location. When the fluid supply means (200) is empty, the level of fluid in the reservoir (208) will fall below the level of a capacitance sensor (32) which will sense the presence of air and cause a signal to be output to alert an operator to change fluid supply means (4). The fluid supply means may be changed before the reservoir is empty of fluid and, accordingly, the process may be operated continuously, even during the replacement of a reservoir (4).
Abstract:
A system for monitoring an unsupervised worker is provided that includes a plurality of sensors and a base station provided at the monitored location, a service provider server located remotely from the monitored location and operated by a third party service provider, and a computing device associated with a subscriber to the system. At least a portion of the sensed data is sent to and stored by the service provider server so that a report based thereon may, at the request of the system subscriber, be selectively generated and provided to the system subscriber. The computing device is also adapted to generate configuration data for one or more of the sensors and transmit the configuration data to the service provider server. The configuration data is then sent to the base station and used to control the operation of the sensors
Abstract:
A space-efficient workroom organization system comprising a slotwall panel and/or slot track storage system with at least one repositionable slotwall or slot track mounted storage cabinet, and a workbench system comprising a workbench having a work surface and defining a storage recess beneath the work surface, with at least one mobile storage cabinet.
Abstract:
An imaging system includes an image sensor, a digital image sensing device and a host system. The digital image sensing device provides image data in a plurality of formats, suitable for the differing requirements of different applications running on a host system.
