Abstract: The present invention relates to a type of wood section material manufacturing method, especially with respect to soft wood section material and its manufacturing method. It belongs to wood processing field. This invention is achieved by the following technical plans: a type of wood section material manufacturing method includes the following steps: (1) wood preparation; (2) drying; (3) Polishing; (4) Hot pressing, which is to use two hot pressing boards with 140-200° C. to firmly press two surfaces of panel blank material; (5) Pre-carbonization, which pre-carbonize the panel blank material under 160° C. and 200° C.; (6) Carbonization, which carbonize the panel blank material between 200° C. and 225° C.; (7) Cooling; and (8) Moisture content control. This invention is particularly suitable to make wooden floor boards and office furniture.
Abstract: A movable boundary detection apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a receiver operable to receive a positioning signal including actual position coordinates of a movable device in a first space and a memory module including a memory to store predefined position coordinates for defining boundaries of a second space being located within the first space. A processor module is communicatively coupled to the receiver and the memory module and operable to compare the actual position coordinates to the predefined position coordinates. An indicator is communicatively coupled to the processor module and operable to indicate when the actual position coordinates are outside the predefined position coordinates for indicating that the device is outside the second space.
Abstract: An apparatus for preventing and detecting tampering of an electronic device is provided. The apparatus may prevent and detect tampering occurring through an aperture in a casing of the electronic device where the aperture is configured for receiving a standoff that couples a communication cable to a communication port of the electronic device. Upon removal of the standoff, visual indicia of tampering may be provided. Additionally, a shield may block entry of the standoff into the aperture if the standoff is removed.

Abstract: A modem that provides efficient use of wireless network bandwidth in the presence of multiuser interference and noise is disclosed. The modem design provides for compatibility with existing network hardware and protocols so that new efficient modems may be added to the network without removing installed hardware and software.
Abstract: A gyratory compactor apparatus adapted to interact with a mold that defines a mold axis is provided. The gyratory compactor apparatus includes a frame defining a frame axis and having a first mounting plate and a pivoted support carried by the frame and capable of rotation in at least a first and a second rotational degree of freedom. A mold-engaging device is carried by the pivoted support and includes a first carriage plate proximal the pivoted support and a spaced-apart second carriage plate that defines a space therebetween for receiving the mold. The second carriage plate has at least one clamping rod in communication with an actuator for translating the second carriage plate about the mold axis to thereby secure the mold in the space between the first and second carriage plates. An associated method is also provided.

Abstract: Display screen shades for mobile devices are provided. According to a representative embodiment, a display screen shade includes a bracket assembly configured for attachment to a mobile device. Further, the display screen shade includes a light valve for covering a display screen of the mobile device. The display screen shade also includes a hinge attached to the bracket assembly and the light valve. The hinge is configured to permit movement of the light valve between a first position and second position when the bracket assembly is attached to the mobile device. In the first position, the light valve substantially covers the display screen in the first position. In the second position, the light valve is positioned further from the display screen than in the first position.

Abstract: A load stabilizer for an automobile is provided. The load stabilizer includes a hitch assembly having an elongate cross member that extends between opposing frame rails of the automobile and that is pivotable about an axis of rotation defined along a length of the cross member in response to a load applied upon the hitch assembly. A first torsion bar is carried on a first end by the cross member and on a second end by the automobile frame for retarding load variations on the hitch assembly.
Abstract: An eyeglasses holder for holding eyeglasses proximal a wearer's cap is provided. The holder includes a longitudinally extending first retaining member and a longitudinally extending second retaining member spaced-apart from the first member and being interconnected on respective first ends thereof by a laterally extending base member. A longitudinally extending intermediate retaining member is positioned between the first and second members and defines a cap engaging void between the first member and an eyeglasses engaging void between the second member.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for adaptively adjusting a registration interval of an endpoint are provided. In an embodiment of the subject matter disclosed herein, a method of adaptively adjusting a registration interval of an endpoint comprises determining a registration interval for an endpoint associated with a binding defined at a network address translation device. The method also comprises determining a stability of the binding based on a message received from the endpoint. Further, the method comprises adjusting the registration interval for the endpoint based on the determined stability of the binding. A message can be sent to the endpoint for indicating the adjusted registration interval.
Abstract: A nuclear density gauge includes a base and at least one gamma radiation detector mounted at a predetermined location relative to an axis extending longitudinally of the base. The gauge further includes a gamma radiation source and a source mount that mounts the gamma radiation source for movement along a path between an active first position located at a first longitudinal distance from the detector and an active second position located at a second longitudinal distance from the detector. In this way, gamma radiation is detected emanating from the source and backscattered from the underlying material sample through a first path of travel when the source mount is at the first active position and through a second path of travel when the source mount is at the second active position. The source mount may also move the source from the active first and second positions to an inactive third position shielded by gamma radiation shielding material.
