Abstract:
An Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) distance acceleration device accelerates data transfers between an iSCSI initiator and an iSCSI target over a network, such as the Internet or a wide area network (WAN). The acceleration device resides in a communication path between the iSCSI initiator and the iSCSI target. The acceleration device receives an iSCSI protocol data unit (PDU) targeted to the iSCSI target by the iSCSI initiator. The acceleration device forwards the iSCSI PDU over the network to the iSCSI target and transmits a response to the iSCSI PDU that anticipates a response to be generated by the iSCSI target upon receiving the iSCSI PDU.
Abstract:
Described are portable hangers and methods for constructing same. A portable hanger includes a strap member with a first end shaped into a hook and with a second end shaped into a handhold-sized loop. The first end of the strap has a friction-enhancing surface within an inner arc of the hook. To construct a portable hanger, in one embodiment, a hook is inserted into an open first end of a strap. The open first end of the strap is closed to enclose completely the hook within the first end of the strap. A second end of the strap is attached to an intermediate section of the strap to form a handhold-sized loop.
Abstract:
Described is a heads-up display system for an aircraft having a rotating propeller within view of at least one occupant of the aircraft. The heads-up display system comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed on a side of a propeller blade substantially facing at least one occupant of the aircraft. A graphics generator turns one or more of the light-emitting elements on the side of the propeller blade on and off in accordance with the rotation of the propeller to produce a graphical image that appears to at least one occupant of the aircraft to be superimposed on a background. The graphical image can be produced to conform to an object in the background upon which the graphical image is superimposed.
Abstract:
A fluid-dispensing device comprises substrate (212) and a plurality of nozzles (204) formed in the substrate (212). Each nozzle has (204) has an open-ended tip and a fluid-conducting channel (220) between the tip and a source of fluid. A non-conducting spacer is on the substrate (212) and electrically isolates a gate electrode (208) from the substrate (212). The gate electrode is located adjacent to the tip of at least one of the nozzles (204) to effect dispensing of the fluid in that nozzle (204) in response to a voltage applied between the gate electrode (208) and the nozzle (204) or fluid in the nozzle (204). The gate electrode (208) includes a plurality of individually addressable gate electrodes used for selectively actuating nozzles (204).
Abstract:
The present invention features a system and method for establishing a secure communication channel between a client and an application server. In one embodiment, a ticket service generates a ticket having an identifier and a session key. A communications device obtains the ticket from the ticket service and transmits the ticket to a client over a secure communication channel. The client transmits the identifier of the ticket to an application server over an application communication channel. The application server then obtains a copy of the session key of the ticket from the ticket service. Communications exchanged between the client and the application server over the application communication channel are then encrypted using the session key to establish the application communication channel as a secure communication channel.
Abstract:
Method, electronic device, system, and computer readable medium embodiments are disclosed. Some embodiments include a signal processing workflow (1702) incorporating a graphical user interface (1902) for displaying orbital information for satellites and other spacecraft. In some embodiments, a generative adversarial network (GAN) is employed for evaluating satellite orbital positions, for predicting future orbital movements, for detecting orbital maneuvers of a satellite, and for analyzing such maneuvers for potential nefarious intent.
Abstract:
A passive pre-heater assembly includes a thermally conductive heat-spreading block and a plurality of passive pre-heaters in thermally conductive communication with the heat-spreading block. The plurality of the pre-heaters exchanges heat with the thermally conductive heat-spreading block. Each pre-heater includes a thermally conductive base in thermal communication with the heat-spreading block, and a plurality of thermally conductive fins is in thermal communication with the thermally conductive base. The plurality of fins of each pre-heater exchanges heat convectively with ambient air and conductively with the thermally conductive base of that pre-heater. A given one of the passive pre-heaters further comprises a tube in thermally conductive contact with the thermally conductive base of the given passive pre-heater. The thermally conductive heat-spreading block exchanges heat with a fluid passing through the tube of the given passive pre-heater.
Abstract:
A column-conditioning enclosure includes a column chamber adapted to hold one or more chromatography separation columns. A duct system provides an airflow path around the column chamber such that the one or more chromatography separation columns held within the column chamber are isolated from the airflow path. An air mover disposed in the airflow path generates a flow of air within the duct system. A heat exchanger system disposed in the airflow path near the air to exchange heat with the air as the air flows past the heat exchanger system. The air circulates through the duct system around the column chamber, convectively exchanging heat with the column chamber to produce a thermally conditioned environment for the one or more chromatography separation columns held within the column chamber.
Abstract:
A system and method for communicating with a coverage enhanced user equipment (UE) (116) is provided. A base station (103) transmits system information (SI) to the UE in a MTC framework. The MTC framework comprising intermittent transmission periods of a number of MTC SI transmission blocks. The MTC SI transmission block includes a MTC Master Information Block (MIB) (910) and a number of MTC System Information Blocks (SIBs) (915). Two consecutive transmissions of the MTC SI are separated by N number of frames, and N is an integer number.
Abstract:
A method and a wireless network determining at least part of a PUCCH resource index n (1) PuccH (PUCCH format la/lb) associated with an ePDCCH PRB set. A subscriber station configured to communicate with at least one base station. The subscriber station receives a DL assignment from the at least one base station. The PUCCH resource indexn (1) PuccH is determined depending on whether a localized or distributed ePDCCH is used.
