A device for extending a shaft of an arrow including a hollow arrow sleeve having a forward end and a rearward end. The hollow arrow sleeve supporting at least one auxiliary, expandable, razor-sharp blade for pivoting movement between a stored position lying enclosed within the sleeve and a deployed position extending outwardly through a slot formed in the sleeve. The sleeve having at least one slot allowing passage of the at least one expandable razor-sharp blade from a stored position to a deployed position in response to movement of the at least one blade from the rearward position to the forward position relative to the sleeve. A member acting against the at least one auxiliary, expandable, razor-sharp blade for urging the blade toward the deployed position. A spring for biasing the member against the at least one auxiliary, expandable, razor-sharp blade.
摘要:
A method of representing communications sessions in a virtual environment employs a presentation entity which is provided at a location in the environment where it will be visible and/or audible from the observation point of a user with whom a communications session has been requested. The presentation entity, which can represent a character or an object in the environment, for example, presents information to the user from within the environment. Also disclosed is an automated inhabitant which can operated to interact with other inhabitants of such an environment, obtaining information which is passed to and used by a contact center to queue contacts between such other inhabitants and contact center agents.
摘要:
Web-based telephony applications have recently been developed whereby a user is able to access a web-site and click on links or buttons in order to establish a voice over internet protocol telephone call from for example, his or her PC phone, to another user at another telephone terminal (PC phone or other suitable type of telephone). By enabling a web-based telephony application to receive URIs containing time information it is possible to enable telephone calls (including conference calls) to be initiated automatically at specified times or for feature keys on a user's telephone terminal to be programmed such that when activated at a particular time, a specified telephone call is initiated. In addition, URIs comprising time information may be used to set up “follow-me” functionality whereby all calls to a particular user are directed to different pre-specified directory numbers depending on the time of day. In another example, URIs comprising time information are used to route calls to contact-center agents in order to reduce the burden on contact center routing applications. URIs comprising time information are also advantageously used to communicate information to other entities.

In a water pump for pumping coolant in a low temperature and a high temperature circuit with low temperature and high temperature housings each including a spiral flow guide structure, and a single rotor disposed in the joined housings and having a low temperature rotor part for pumping coolant through the low temperature circuit and a high temperature rotor part for pumping coolant through the high temperature circuit, the housings are joined with a heat isolating structure disposed between the flow guide structures of the high temperature and the low temperature housings to limit heat transfer from the high temperature coolant pumped through the high temperature housing to the low temperature coolant pumped through the low temperature housing.
摘要:
Calls made using the session initiation protocol (SIP) are augmented by exchanging data in the form of messages between terminals where the message content is defined by items of information expressed as uniform resource indicators (URIs). The receiving terminal can extract and process such information based on the semantic information in URI format.
摘要:
Each local node of a network adjusts the priority of messages passing through the node based on locally available information. If network topology is available, priority can be given to those messages which have the most hops to go. If source identity or time is/are known, the priority of a message can be upgraded for those messages which have already taken a long time or have already experienced a large number of hops. If destination address and network topology are additionally known, end-to-end QoS can tend to be equalized for all paths.

The present invention provides a flexible multilayer packaging film and packages formed therefrom wherein the films include a first film layer comprising a first biaxially-oriented polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyester, a polyolefin, a polyamide, and a blend thereof and a surface-roughened portion, a second film layer comprising an adhesive, a third film layer comprising a barrier material, a fourth film layer comprising a second biaxially-oriented polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyester, a polyolefin, a polyamide, and a blend thereof and at least one score-line; wherein the packages comprise a tear-initiation area and a directional tear zone.
摘要:
An Adjustable Hole Cover. One size of hole cover will accommodate a wide variety of hole diameters, and fit snugly. The device is made from a lightweight, yet durable material. A version having a cap with an internal metal core is also available. The cover costs less than prior plugs by incorporating a durable cap element to which a low-cost stem is attached. The stem is selected from a group of different-sized stems made from a low-cost material, such as wood.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a dry powder composition comprising porous carrier particles associated with one, two, three or more micronized drugs or APIs wherein an ordered mixture between the micronized drug or drugs and the carrier particle results, such that the micronized drug or drugs adhere strongly to the carrier particles forming a stable ordered mixture of respirable agglomerates. Embodiments of the present invention further comprise a spray-drying process to create the respirable agglomerates. Embodiments of the present invention further relate to the use of the dry powder formulation comprising respirable agglomerates for the treatment of a patient having a disease or condition which is treatable thereby.
