A method and composition for chip sealing a roadway utilizing a coating containing a parent binding material. Stone chips are then spread onto the parent binding material to form a composite having an upper surface. A liquid composition is then applied over the upper surface of the composite. The liquid composition includes an emulsion of liquid asphalt, a lignosulfonic acid salt, and water.

Diagnostic data of a multimodal enhanced communication system is processed at a central diagnostic service by normalizing detected errors based on modalities, traffic volumes, and/or individual user patterns such that failures can be efficiently and accurately analyzed across the communication system. Configurable thresholds may be used for modality-specific logs, traffic volume normalized errors, and persistent user adjusted results to optimize alerts issued to administrators.
摘要:
When implemented on a single access point, the system autonomously adjusts the operating channel of an 802.11h compliant network so the network operates on the channel with the least interference. When deployed on the access nodes in a campus or urban setting, the system rapidly converges to a stable interference-minimizing frequency re-use pattern with the average reduction in interference realized by each 802.11 cluster in the range of 19 dB (as device density increases, the expected reduction in interference increases with the exact gain in interference reduction a function of the specific propagation environment and network topology). Significant, though smaller, expected reductions in interference are also realized by legacy systems which are not implementing the algorithm but operating in the presence of the enhanced access points. When new access points are added to the network, the network automatically converges to a near optimal frequency reuse pattern. This is accomplished without any message passing between access nodes, without any adjustments to the existing 802.11 protocol, without user guidance, without prior or externally generated knowledge of the environment or network, and with minimal additional computational complexity at the access node.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for separating the functionality of middleware (320) in a device with embedded resources (341,342) so that data transfer between embedded resources used by an object (330) resident in a general purpose processor (310) of the device takes place directly, thereby minimizing bandwidth overhead at the general purpose processor. The control interface (371,372) for an embedded resource resides in the general purpose processor and uses the device driver of the embedded resource, whereas the data interface (381,382) is outside the general purpose processor and provides direct communication with a switch matrix (360) serving each embedded resource.
摘要:
The matching algorithm of the layout synthesis method and apparatus disclosed locates transistor pattern matches in a design, links a parameterized tile to each identified match, and adjusts certain variable parameters of the linked parameterized tile to meet the physical design requirements of each located match. Each transistor pattern corresponds to a parameterized tile, which is an actual physical representation of the corresponding pattern and includes variable parameters, which may include transistor size. The matching algorithm locates matches in the design for an ordered list of patterns, names each located match, links the proper parameterized tile to each named match, and adjusts the tile's variable parameters as required. Transistors in the design are included in one and only one named located match.
摘要:
A unit for evaluating various properties of a paper envelope. The unit is capable of examining an envelope and determining key features of the envelope, such as the amount of front seal adhesive present, the tear strength of the side seams and the presence of properly printed graphics. The unit comprises a) a housing having either a touch screen video display unit or another source of data entry; b) a front seal control portion that contains linear encoders to determine the amount of adhesive on the seal; c) a side strength control portion that contains blades used to measure the force needed to burst the sides of the envelope: and d) a print design quality feature that is utilized to confirm the quality and location of any printing on the envelope.
摘要:
An interface system for a television receiver includes an interface connector having a plurality of contacts connected to various component circuits in the television receiver. In order to provide various functions for the television receiver, the interface system includes various circuit boards each having a plug connectable with the interface connector. The plug includes a number of contacts equal to or less than the plurality of contacts in the interface connector. A particular embodiment of one of the circuit boards includes circuitry for connecting the television receiver to an interconnecting network and for enabling a user to send and receive electronic mail messages using a remote control transmitter for the television receiver.

Liquid composition for controlling dust migration which comprises an emulsion of liquid asphalt, a lignosulfonic acid salt solution and water. The emulsion is spread on a dusty surface to penetrate the same before the emulsion breaks.
摘要:
Apparatus is described for implementing rebound circuitry in a video game simulating hockey or the like. Means are provided to detect presence of a game object at an upper or lower boundary. Further means are provided to act in response of said detection for moving the game object marker away from the boundary. The rebounding game object diminishes in velocity for a predetermined time after incidence with a boundary.
