An antenna for broadband satellite communication including an array of primary horn antenna elements which are connected to one another by a waveguide feed network.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for automated fault detection in a building management system are shown and described. The systems and methods further involve organizing the data set into bins, each bin containing a plurality of the observed points for the variable of the building management system. The systems and methods further involve calculating, for each bin, a target parameter and an estimator of scale for the observed points. The systems and methods further involve detecting, for each bin, an outlier of the building management system by comparing a data point of the bin to the calculated target parameter and estimator of scale for the bin.
Abstract:
Transport apparatus is provided for heavy duty equipment which allows for the interchangeable connection of the caterpillar power drive units used for transport of a plurality of supporting frames holding different pieces of heavy equipment. A lesser number of expensive drive units is required for moving a lot of equipment. This is achieved by providing separate support bases or feet for each of the supporting frames. Each of the bases include a mechanism for lifting the supporting frames so that the power drive units can move under the supporting frame being transported. Also, each of the caterpillar power drive units include a connector device for connection to the supporting frame to be supported. Each connector device, in turn, includes hydraulically operated arms for relative vertical displacement between the drive unit and the support frame and universal relative horizontal displacement. In addition, electrical, mechanical or other connections are provided between the several power units to coordinate movement direction, steering, and the relative torsional effects of the various units on the supporting frame.

Abstract:
A moveable gate for infants or dogs is used in doorways, hallways, stair landings and other household positions to provide a safe barrier for the child or dog. The gate, formed of a flexible material which pulls out of a housing in the manner of a window shade, has a jamb mounting at the housing end and a latch at the extended end of the curtain-like barrier. Both are releasable from a fixture which attaches to the door jamb, wall or stair rail post, so that the infant gate can be quickly released and moved to another location in the house where additional such jamb mountings are attached or to another house which has similar door jamb pieces installed. Important features are the manner in which the gate latches, a mechanism for tightening the curtain-like barrier into a nearly solid gate after it has been latched, and childproof devices for releasing tension in the gate when it is to be retracted.
Abstract:
A mobile bulk goods delivery system is provided for spacing and evening out the delivery of quantities of bulk goods received so that subsequent operations in a production line are not jammed with intermittent overload quantities of bulk goods to be processed. The delivery system of the disclosure is an equalizer mounted on a mobile support for pivoting around a horizontal axis. The equalizer includes a delivery belt system which has positioned on one end thereof a bulk goods receiving container pivotally mounted, again on a horizontal axis. The equalizer is capable of being moved from one location to another, as desired. The configuration of the container with respect to the support is such that the container, when in its operative position, is recessed below ground level, and when being moved from one location to another, is maintained above ground level. The delivery belt of the invention is arranged to extend into the pivotally mounted container for first receiving the goods and then delivering them in even distribution to subsequent operations.
Abstract:
One exemplary system and method for managing access to data records in a multiprocessor computing environment. The system and method allocates a segmented linear hash table for storing the data records, performs a modification operation on the segmented linear hash table, performs a table restructuring operation on the segmented linear hash table in parallel with the modification operation, and performs at least one lookup operation on the segmented linear hash table in parallel with each other and with the modification operation or the table restructuring operation.

Abstract:
The invention provides a method and system for containing software faults in a computer processing environment. The method for containing software faults comprises allocating memory for a software module instance; allocating memory for at least one object assigned to the software module instance; identifying at least on object assigned to the software module instance in memory; and restricting access to the memory to the software module instance.
Abstract:
A suitably conditioned slurry feed is introduced to a trough from which it is distributed into a slurry layer-flow forming chamber provided with a discharge weir which discharges an evenly spread layer of slurry onto an inclined plate feeding into a mixing passage and then into a vessel. Recirculated slurry from the vessel is also fed into the mixing passage via a recycle gate which forms it into a layer of slurry. An array of clean liquid jets accelerates thin gas envelopes and impinges between layers of slurry and causes intensive mixing of all streams in the mixing passage. A high shear rate produces high intensity turbulence and shears gas into very small bubbles. A multiphase mixture flow is discharged from the mixing passage into the vessel, where it flows past one or more longitudinal stabilizing baffles. Gas bubbles loaded with hydrophobic particles disengage from the stream, rise toward the liquid surface and are diverted by bubble-diverting guides toward a froth discharge end of the vessel. A layer of froth travels toward a froth weir where it is discharged. Residual slurry leaves a discharge launder via a weir to a following flotation cell or process stage.
