摘要:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for providing content to a user. The method includes using sensor data from multiple sensors associated with the user to determine a trigger event, determining content associated with the trigger event, and causing the content to be presented to the user. A trigger rule is created which defines the trigger event, representing when content is to be presented. A number of different types of event criteria may be defined, such as position event criteria, movement event criteria, timing or duration criteria, time and/or date criteria, heart rate criteria, or the like, allowing each of the event criteria to be associated with a respective type of sensor. Also disclosed is a method and apparatus for charging for providing content to a user.
摘要:
A phased array antenna for a telecommunications satellite, that is deployable from a retracted condition to a deployed condition when the satellite is on-station, comprising a base member of hexagonal form, and a plurality of deployable antenna panels stacked one on top of the other on the base member in the retracted condition, each antenna panel being connected to a respective side edge region of the base by means of a respective back flap hinge, and the hinges having pivot points that are offset relative to one another, such that the antenna panels can be hinged sequentially one after the other from the stick to a position in which each panel is adjacent a respective base side edge region to provide an extended flat two-dimensional area when deployed.
摘要:
An electronic system having a spread spectrum clock. A spread spectrum clock source creates and transmits both a spread spectrum clock signal and a modulation signal. A spread spectrum clock generator uses a modulation waveform on the modulation signal to frequency modulate a reference oscillator frequency. A logic unit comprises a Phase Locked Loop that receives the spread spectrum clock signal and the modulation signal and generates a logic unit clock signal.

A service monitor and a browser monitor determine performance metrics on both a server and a client in connection with a distributed application running on a network. While applicable to other types of distributed application data, an example is described in which a Web page is requested by a user running a browser program on the client computer. In response, the server transmits the requested Web page, along with JavaScript code that defines a browser monitor, to the client. A browser monitoring function controlled by this code determines a plurality of different performance metrics related to the access of Web pages by the client. In addition, the server monitor determines performance metrics specific to its function in providing the Web page to the client. A correlated performance metric is determined by combining a server performance metric with a browser performance metric.
摘要:
A new and improved invention for the truly continuous extraction of oleiferous and carbonaceous content contained in rendered animal tissue and the full range of subject solids material listed in Claim 1, by one or a series of pressured phased agitation chambers using an array of patterned sprays of solvent which is a gas in liquid form under pressure.
摘要:
A method of forming a solution of a solid includes the steps of: (1) forming a dispersion which comprises (a) a liquid, (b) the solid dispersed in powder form and (c) a polymeric binder dissolved in the liquid, and (2) mixing the dispersion with the solvent under conditions such that the powder dissolves in the solvent. If a solution prepared by this method is allowed to dry out, the polymeric binder binds the powder and thus suppresses dust formation. The method has particular application to solids which are reactive textile auxiliaries. A dispersion of a solid in powder form in an aqueous liquid contains a major proportion of a low viscosity, water-soluble cellulose ether and a minor proportion of a natural polysaccharide gum.
摘要:
A coin chute for use with a vending machine for receiving coins and transferring the coins to an electrical coin mechanism and preventing liquid from entering and damaging the electrical coin mechanism. The coin chute includes an upper passage in a first vertical plane for entry of a coin at the upper end thereof, and an intermediate passage extending at an angle away from one side of the upper passage at the lower end of the upper coin passage. The intermediate passage has a side formed by a first grid adapted for passage therethrough of liquid poured into the upper passage. The coin chute further comprises a lower passage extending down from the lower end of the intermediate passage for receiving a coin dropping down through the upper passage and intermediate passage and for delivering it to the electrical coin mechanism. The chute further includes a drain for draining the liquid passing through the first grid. A second grid forms a bottom of the intermediate passage and is adapted for passage of liquid therethrough to the drain in a direction generally perpendicular to the first grid.
