摘要:
A gasoline dispensing system and method according to which one end of a dispensing hose is connected to a source of gasoline, and a nozzle is connected to the other end of the hose for dispensing the gasoline. A conductor is connected to a source of energy to cause the energy to be transmitted flow through the conductor. The conductor extends through the length of the hose and the dispensing of the gasoline is terminated when current ceases to flow through the conductor as a result of it breaking in response to a drive-off, or the like.

An inkjet printer is configured to process print media having an ink image differently to alter a gloss level of the ink image on the print media. In one mode of operation, the printer moves print media bearing an ink image on one side only through a transfix nip a second time to reduce a gloss level of the printed image.

A method, apparatus and program product manages application entitlement data by storing entitlement data received from a plurality of application providers. Inventory data associated with a networked computing device or an application executable on the networked computing device is monitored. Delivery of the entitlement data to the networked computing device is enabled according to the inventory data.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for inducing pitch stability in musical strings. A tensioned string is placed in a frictioning channel provided in the apparatus; and the apparatus is then caused to traverse the length of the string repeatedly to maximize the string elongation and tensional stability.
摘要:
An automatic thresholding reference and detection circuit which generates a signal in time which is a replica of the radar return signal's doppler spectrum. The radar signal return is processed by a target signal channel having a narrow bandwidth filter which produces a fine resolution replica of the signal spectrum, and by a reference signal channel having a wider bandwidth filter, which produces a smeared (or average) replica of the signal spectrum. The output of the reference signal channel is a threshold signal which, when compared to the output of the target signal channel, allows only the target signals to be passed for further processing and rejects clutter and thermal noise.

A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a configuration server, requirements data identifying computing requirements of a customer. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, at the configuration server, inventory information descriptive of a computing inventory of the customer. The computer-implemented method also includes accessing compatibility rules that specify hardware and software to enable particular computing requirements. The computer-implemented method further includes determining a plurality of configuration options to implement the computing requirements of the customer based on at least one of the requirements data, the computing inventory, and the compatibility rules. The plurality of configuration options include at least one customer premises equipment (CPE)-based configuration, at least one cloud computing-based configuration, and at least one hybrid CPE-cloud computing-based configuration. The computer-implemented method includes comparing the plurality of configuration options based on customer preferences. The computer-implemented method also includes providing at least one configuration recommendation based on comparing the plurality of configuration options.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for tracking and documenting environmental compliance in a pulp mill, related primarily to the bypassing of liquid hazardous pollutants from a capture and treatment system. The method and system provide continuous information regarding the input materials, the output products, and the operations of equipment in the pulping process. The continuous information is provided to a central processor for determindation of emission levels that exceed certain predetermined levels. The method and system permit personnel to verify compliance with environmental regulations, verify the reliability of pollutant collection and treatment equipment and record the actions taken to correct an inappropriate emission or equipment failure.
