  • Patent number: 6895701
    Abstract: Sturdy metal strainer frames for mounting art canvas are assembled in any required size in an easy and cost-effective fabrication approach. Frame members fabricated as aluminum extrusions are joined at mitred corners to form a rectangular strainer frame. The frame extrusion pattern provides a smooth rounded perimeter edge for improved canvas mounting, a rear channel for anchoring the canvas around the edges and a larger channel around the inside of the frame for accepting brace members as required and holding them accurately aligned, typically at two foot intervals for larger frame sizes. The brace members, provided in two types of extrusion pattern, are cut to length and attached together at junctions as required and to the frame at overlapping flanges, preferably by a proprietary TOX (R) joining system utilizing an upsetting-pressing technique that eliminates all separate fastening hardware items such as clips, nuts, bolts, screws and rivets and requires no drilling, welding, or adhesives.

  • Publication number: 20020123335
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for provisioning a mobile station over a wireless network are described. The mobile station contains a browser to allow navigation of hypermedia content. The browser sends a request for provisioning content to a remote provisioning server via the wireless network. The request includes a network resource locator. In response, the provisioning server sends a markup language document via a wireless network to the mobile station, containing a reference to provisioning content. The browser retrieves the provisioning content based on the reference and stores the provisioning content in the mobile station. The provisioning content is used in the mobile station to enhance a capability of the mobile station.
