  • Publication number: 20150289133
    Abstract: Methods and systems of transmitting a beacon message. Implementations of the present disclosure include determining, by a computing device based on a predetermined algorithm, an encryption method using a current time as a parameter. The computing device may encrypt a beacon message using the determined encryption method to obtain an encrypted beacon message. The computing device may further generate a radio frame including the encrypted beacon message and information associated with a decryption computing device, and transmit the radio frame to a mobile device. Implementations of this present disclosure avoid leaking users' sensitive information, and therefore protect users' privacy as well as improve safe uses of beacon transmission.

  • Patent number: 9099268
    Abstract: A mechanical switch in the form of a bypass switch assembly is arranged between two electrical conductors (busbars) and stays open during normal operation. When a cell fault happens, the fault and bypass information is transmitted to an actuator (acting as a trigger circuit) which activates inter alia a gas generator producing huge volume of gas in a very short time. The gas pressure pushes a movable member to bridge the two electrical conductors with ultrafast speed.

  • Publication number: 20150176222
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a multilayered tissue web comprising treated cellulosic fibers selectively disposed in one or more layers, wherein the tissue layer comprising treated fibers is adjacent to a layer comprising untreated fiber and which is substantially free from untreated fiber. Generally the treated fibers have a rate of substitution of about 0.02 to 0.07. In this manner, the disclosure provides a multi-layered tissue web having treated fiber selectively incorporated therein, where the tissue web has basis weight greater than about 10 grams per square meter (gsm), such as from about 10 to about 50 gsm, a sheet bulk greater than about 8 cc/g, such as from about 8 to about 15 cc/g and Stiffness Index less than about 15, such as from about 8 to about 12.
