摘要:
A method of making a sign is described which comprises taking a transfer material and a temporary support sheet, the transfer material comprising a transparent or translucent carrier sheet bearing on one side a plurality of transferable indicia, which are either sufficiently adhesive as such to enable their transfer to the support sheet or which bear a layer of adhesive on their face remote from the carrier sheet, or which are non adhesive but transferable by virtue of a coating of adhesive on the temporary support sheet, the adhesive if present being adapted to adhere the indicia to the temporary support sheet more strongly than they adhere to the carrier sheet, and wherein the material of the indicia is adhesive under the application of heat and pressure, transferring indicia from the transfer material to the temporary support sheet in the desired order to build up the desired legend for the sign, and applying the transferred indicia under heat and pressure to the surface of a transparent or translucent sheet, e.g. of acrylic plastics, to form the sign. After such transfer the indicia may be overcoated, e.g. with a contrasting color background. The legend is read through the transparent or translucent sheet which protects it against abrasion or other damage.

Transfer materials are described which are of particular value in sign making applications. The materials consist of a carrier sheet, indicia thereon, usually formed by printing from a printing ink composition and adhesive over the indicia. The dry transfer material may be used in the usual way to assemble a desired legend on a temporary carrier sheet using the pulling power of the adhesive optionally assisted by the "stretch release" technique if the carrier sheet and indicia are appropriately formulated. According to the invention, the indicia are formulated so that following their transfer to build up the desired legend, they may be adhered under the action of heat and pressure without plastic deformation to the surface of a transparent or translucent rigid sign sheet made of polymethylmethacrylate, polyvinylchloride or cellulose triacetate.

A method provides information about stations in an irrigation system which are simultaneously active. An irrigation flow curve image is displayed which summarizes flow information for an irrigation system. The method interacts with a user to receive an indication from a user interface pointing device of a position within a flow curve area of the irrigation flow curve image on the display. The method retrieves detail information for stations in the irrigation system which are simultaneously active at a time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device. Detail information is displayed isolating the stations in the irrigation system which are simultaneously active at the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, wherein the detail information further individually indicates irrigation activity for stations which are simultaneously active at the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device.

A wireless mobile router (140) includes wireless network interfaces (202) and (218) attached to a network controller (142). The wireless network interface (202) communicates with a cellular network (110) to access cellular network services. The wireless network interface (218) and the network controller (142) comprise a WLAN (170) or PAN (180) and a network router hosting a plurality of client devices. Each client device may access a wide area network, WAN over the cellular network. The wireless mobile router (140) is configured to exchange various cellular network signals with various WLAN and PAN networks. The wireless mobile router (140) is particularly suitable for use in a vehicle or at locations where WAN access is not readily available.

A wireless mobile router (300) includes a CPU (222) and one or more network interfaces for hosting locally reachable devices. The router (300) includes one or more cellular network interface devices (316) configured to make a network connection with a cellular network. The router (300) operates to translate data packets received from locally reachable devices and to direct the translated data packets to public IP address over the cellular network. In addition, a stack of mobile routers (400) includes two or more mobile routers (300) interfaced together to make two or more network connections with a cellular network for increasing bandwidth and for load balancing network traffic passing from the router (300) to the cellular network. The wireless mobile router (300) and the stack (400) are suitable for use in a moving vehicle.
摘要:
A noise generator system is provided with each noise generator being pivotally mounted to a mounting surface associated with the air intake of a turbineless jet engine. Each noise generator is positioned so as to convert a laminar or transitional air stream into a turbulent air stream such that a turbulent air-fuel mixture is realized in the combustion section of the engine to achieve more efficient operation.

The present invention is directed at a virtual machine environment operating on portable devices with limited resources. The virtual machine environment includes a method for compiling an intermediate language into native code wherein the native code is stored in a directly addressable and executable storage medium, such as flash memory. A portion of the native code is written to a cache resident in volatile memory during compiling. The cache is written to the directly addressable and executable storage medium. The cache may be sized in relation to a block size associated with the directly addressable and executable storage medium. A metadata map is maintained and associates a physical address at which the native code is stored in the storage medium with the method. The native code is persisted by storing the metadata map in the storage medium and associating the metadata map with the method.
摘要:
A method, computer program product, and system for routing URL data object requests in a proxy server array. A URL data object request is received at one proxy server of the array while the desired URL data object resides in the local cache of another proxy server in the array. The receiving proxy server will deterministically identify the residing proxy server based on information residing thereon without resorting to expensive query-response transactions, such as those that occur in proxy server arrays using ICP. An array membership list containing array membership information is available at each and every proxy server and is used in conjunction with the URL as the information for identifying the correct proxy server where the URL data object resides. First, a deterministic hash value is computed for each proxy server name and the URL. Next, a combined hash value is computed that combines the URL hash value with each proxy server hash value. Finally, the proxy server with the highest “score” or combined hash value is identified as the proxy server where the desired URL data object should reside in local cache storage. Since the array membership list, the URL, and the hashing algorithm are the same at each proxy server, the same proxy server will be identified as having the URL data object regardless of which proxy server originally receives the URL data object request.
