Abstract: An under door seal for interior doors. The under door seal has a U-shaped base unit and a plurality of sealing fins. The base unit mounts to the bottom of a door. The sealing fins are provided to seal a gap between the bottom of the door and the floor to block drafts, light, and sound from passing under the door. The sealing fins have a coiled shape configuration and flexible nature to allow the fins to extend or compress to fill a gap of varied height beneath the door. The flexible nature of the sealing fins also permits the under door seal to seal gaps between multiple floor levels and a single door bottom.

Abstract: A method for providing real-time information to a first electronic device is described here. The method includes transmitting one or more workflow tasks from a host computer to a first electronic device communicatively coupled to the host computer. Further, the method comprises receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors. The sensor information comprises at least one of a location of the first electronic device or data related to the one or more workflow tasks being performed by a worker. The method further comprises transmitting, to the first electronic device, a real-time information to be communicated to the worker based on the sensor information received from the plurality of sensors. In some examples, the real-time information comprises instructions in form of an assistance to be provided to the worker for performing the one or more workflow tasks.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a rectangular frame having horizontal sides with horizontal lengths, vertical sides with vertical lengths, a hollow area between the horizontal and vertical sides, a first facing side, and a second facing side. The first facing side comprising an English measurement scale. The second facing side comprising a Metric measurement scale. Two vertical members are slidably disposed between the horizontal sides within the hollow area. Two drill guides are configured to be removably joined to the vertical members at desired locations. A horizontal guide wing is removably joinable to a one of the horizontal sides. A vertical guide wing is removably joinable to a one of the vertical sides.

Abstract: Sterilization of medical devices can be performed by stacking packages containing the medical devices. The packages are arranged in a partially-overlapping orientation which is at an oblique angle to the direction of irradiation. The partially-overlapping orientation and oblique angle are predetermined for high sterilization throughput and tight control of irradiation. Instead arranging the packages directly on a sterilization platform at a sterilization facility, the packages can be stacked in the partially-overlapping orientation into a transport container at a location remote from the sterilization facility. The transport container maintains the orientation of the packages. Thereafter, the transport container is placed on the sterilization platform, which results in greater uniformity in radiation exposure while maintaining a high level of sterilization throughput.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method, and related apparatus, for directing network service provider selected embedded objects to an internet user client. In the method, a network service provider maintains a database of internet user clients that includes a particular service-type value for each internet user client. The network service provider analyzes an HTTP transaction involving the internet user client. The network service provider responds to an HTTP transaction requesting an embedded web object by forwarding to the internet user client, an alternative embedded web object selected in accordance with the user client's particular service-type value, wherein the alternative embedded web object arrives to the internet user client before a response to the originally requested embedded web object. The network service provider causes the originally requested embedded web object to be forwarded to the internet user client after the alternative embedded web object is forwarded to the internet user client.

Abstract: A method for spatializing text content for enhanced visual browsing and analysis. The invention is applied to large text document corpora such as digital libraries, regulations and procedures, archived reports, and the like. The text content from these sources may be transformed to a spatial representation that preserves informational characteristics from the documents. The three-dimensional representation may then be visually browsed and analyzed in ways that avoid language processing and that reduce the analysts' effort.

Abstract: An over-voltage protection system including a phase bus connected to a phase conductor of an electrical system and one or more transient-suppressing lines connected to the phase bus. Each of the transient-suppressing lines includes a contactor and a transient-suppressing element. The contactor of each transient-suppressing line is selectively opened and closed by a processor, thereby protecting the transient suppressing element from excessive currents.

Abstract: A mobile wireless device (302) can include a first processor (614) for establishing a first communication link using a first wireless communication protocol, a second processor (615) for establishing a second communication link using a second wireless communication protocol different from the first wireless communication protocol, and an interprocessor communication link (620) between the first processor and the second processor enabling communication between the first communication link and the second communication link. The mobile wireless device can serve as a dispatcher coupling a first mobile radio 112 using the first wireless communication protocol with a second mobile radio 116 using the second wireless communication protocol. The first wireless communication protocol can be a cellular communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol can be a dispatch radio communication protocol.
