摘要： A non-destructive, inline, multi-channel fabric conductivity measurement system uses an array of opposing paired transmit/receive microwave horns on opposite sides of a fabric material moving in a production line, each horn pair corresponding to a channel in the system. A processor-based controller can control channel hopping, frequency hopping, and measurement orientation to acquire measurements of material conductivity and anisotropy, which measurements can be analyzed for defects that can be flagged in real time during production. Measurements and/or analyses can be stored to make roll-to-roll, batch-to-batch, day-to-day, or production-phase-to-production-phase comparisons useful in identifying the sources of production problems and/or the causes of corrections.

摘要： The invention is directed to techniques to secure interactions between entities communicating on a computer network. In general, techniques are described in which a first entity provides assurances to a second entity that an agent interacting with the second entity is interacting with the second entity on behalf of the first entity. Specifically, the techniques provide the second entity with information tending to indicate that the first entity authorized the agent to perform the interaction with the second entity pursuant to some prior agreement between the two entities. The techniques employ authentication systems and encryption to ensure the security of the interaction.

摘要： An apparatus and method for measuring spinal instability provides a vertebrae distractor having a pair of distractor arms driven by a motor which separate adjacent vertebrae of a motion segment unit of the spine at a constant rate of distraction up to a predetermined maximum force and measuring the resistance of the adjacent vertebrae to the force. The changes in the resistance to distraction are detected and recorded. The data thus provided is then compared to predetermined standards. A determination concerning further treatment of the subject patient may be based upon the results obtained.

摘要： The invention is directed to techniques of facilitating document transmission from one entity through an electronic communications network. An entity may be a legally recognized person such as a corporation, partnership, organization, government, individual, and the like. As a legally recognized person, an entity may act as a principal with respect to one or more authorized agents. Furthermore, as a legal person, an entity may authorize one or more of its agents to use fax transmission equipment such as the fax certification system described herein. The techniques of this invention assure a second entity that a first entity has indeed authorized its agent to send a document from a fax station under the controls of the first entity.

摘要： A sight mount for a firearm includes a base, a pair of upwardly extending protective ears, and a rearwardly extending platform for supporting an iron sight assembly. The base includes dovetail rails for securing the base to a firearm, and transverse slots for accepting an electronic sight. The protective ears serve to protect the iron sight assembly, particularly when the electronic sight is removed, and also serve to stabilize the iron sight assembly. The sight mount enables a user to either use the electronic sight alone, or the iron sights, by simply shifting the direction of the user's view into the sight. Alternately, the electronic sight may be removed and the iron sights used directly, without requiring any adjustment of the iron sights.

摘要翻译： 用于枪械的瞄准镜包括底座，一对向上延伸的保护耳和用于支撑铁瞄准器组件的向后延伸的平台。 基座包括用于将基座固定到枪支的燕尾轨道，以及用于接收电子瞄准器的横向槽。 保护耳用于保护铁瞄准器组件，特别是当电子瞄准器被移除时，还用于稳定铁瞄准具组件。 瞄准镜使用户可以通过简单地将用户视角的方向移动到视线中来单独使用电子瞄准镜或熨斗瞄准具。 或者，可以去除电子瞄准器并且直接使用铁瞄准镜，而不需要对铁瞄准具进行任何调整。
