  • Software application environment
    Patent number: 7047369
    Abstract: The invention contains an application operating environment in which acceptable and/or suspect activities may be defined for an application so that unacceptable application behavior can be prevented. This is done by providing a definition table identifying the types of access and actions that the application is allowed and preventing it from carrying out other types of access and actions. The definition table may be built up using a learning process during use of the application. The environment also provides a means of checking information output to a network against a list of confidential information.

  • Front panel structure of plasma display panel
    Patent number: 7034459
    Abstract: A front panel structure of Plasma Display Panel (PDP) is disclosed sequentially comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and a third electrode, wherein the second electrode has transparent electrodes located on both top and bottom sides of a bus electrode. A first discharge center is formed between a transparent electrode of the first electrode and one transparent electrode of the second electrode. A second discharge center is formed between the other transparent electrode of the second electrode and a transparent electrode of the third electrode. Therefore, an emitting cell of PDP has two discharge centers. To make the discharge more stable, we choose the first electrode and the third electrode to become the scan electrodes, or to form a thicker dielectric layer or discharge deactivation film below the second bus electrode as a scan electrode.

  • Device for collimating light emanating from a laser light source and beam transformer for said arrangement
    Patent number: 7035014
    Abstract: A device for collimating light emanating from a laser light source, including a laser light source with a plurality of substantially linear emission sources arranged next to each other in at least one row, and collimation means with a plurality of collimation elements which can collimate the light emanating from the emission sources in a direction (X) corresponding to the direction of the row. The device also includes a beam transformer which can respectively transform the light emanating from at least two emission sources in such a way that the light emanating from the at least two emission sources impinges precisely upon a collimation element and is collimated. The invention also relates to a beam transformer for one such device.

  • Aquaculture system
    Patent number: 7029577
    Abstract: A self-contained aquaculture system comprising a modular building defining a first main chamber for containing fish or marine invertebrates, a second swirl chamber comprising a primary filter communicating with the main chamber for removing solids from the main chamber, a drum filter for receiving and filtering water from the swirl chamber, a third biological filter chamber beneath the drum filter for receiving water therefrom and a biological filter tank. Water is pumped from the chamber. The building defines an enclosed space over the chambers, the temperature of which is controlled by an air conditioning unit. A foam fractionator, ultraviolet unit and ozone generator are used for treating the water in the main chamber.

  • High velocity and high dilution exhaust system
    Patent number: 7018287
    Abstract: The high velocity and high dilution exhaust system uses a centrifugal fan provided with a tapered nozzle. The nozzle compresses the airstream exiting the fan to increase back pressure and velocity. The air flow from the fan enters a stack having a venturi further increasing the velocity and decreasing the pressure. The decrease in pressure causes a suction, allowing the introduction of ambient air to mix with and dilute the output of the fan. The total discharge from the exhaust stack has a high velocity resulting in a plume height and effective height of the exhaust before dispersion occurs.

  • Light guiding apparatus for an illumination system
    Patent number: 7014342
    Abstract: The light-guiding apparatus has a light tunnel and an ellipsoidal reflector. Light emitted from the light tunnel is reflected and focused on a DMD chip by the ellipsoidal reflector. The light tunnel and a long axis of the ellipsoidal reflector form an angle. The angle and an eccentricity of the ellipsoidal reflector are used to modify the light emitted from the light tunnel. Thus, the light is made to match an incident angle and an effective dimension of a digital micro-mirror device receiving the light.
