  • Patent number: 12065762
    Abstract: A quad-polymer composition includes monomers of (a) acrylonitrile, (a) vinylimidazole, (c) methyl acrylate and (d) either acrylic acid or itaconic acid. Such quad-polymer compositions may be used to form fibers (such as by melt spinning) that may then be annealed, stabilized, and/or carbonized to produce carbon fibers. The quad-polymer composition may be used for supercapacitors, lithium battery electrodes once carbonized, and as synthesized, it may be used for wound healing fibers, fabrics, coatings, and films, and anti-bacterial/anti-microbial fibers, fabrics, coatings and films. The carbon fibers formed from the quad-polymer composition may be used for the fiber composites for automobile, aerospace structures, marine structures, military equipment/parts, sporting goods, robotics, furniture, and electronic parts.

  • Publication number: 20110040483
    Abstract: Described are methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for detecting lightning activity. Waveform data indicative of lightning activity is received by a waveform sensor from one or more signal converters. The waveform data comprises a group of electromagnetic waveforms. The waveform data is filtered by a processor to remove noise frequencies. One or more uncompressed portions of the waveform data are transmitted to a processing server. Digital filter data based on the one or more uncompressed portions of waveform data are received from the processing server. One or more frequencies are removed from the waveform data based on the digital filter data. The waveform data is compressed. The compressing includes selecting one or more points on a waveform, wherein the one or more points are above a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 7653708
    Abstract: A method, system and program product for streaming of dynamic information content over an interactive media such as the Internet. The dynamic content, such as dynamic weather data, is collected from a plurality of collection sources such as geographically distributed local weather reporting stations. The data information can be relatively static or dynamic, constantly changing data. The dynamic content is stored in databases maintained on a direct access storage device at the dynamic content server. The selection of dynamic content to be transmitted to the end user client is based on a demographic profile that is completed at the time of end user client registration and which precedes delivery of any selected content in response to end user client requests. An application resident on the dynamic content server streams selected content simultaneously to a plurality of end user client devices for each end user client request.

  • Patent number: 6252514
    Abstract: An assembly that engages a component to a computer system includes a cover adapted to retain the component and to be inserted within a chassis of the computer system. A slide movably coupled to the cover has a proximal position associated with inserting the cover into the chassis and a distal position associated with withdrawing the cover from the chassis. A detector coupled to a lock and to the slide detects movement of the slide to actuate the lock. The lock is coupled to the slide and to the detector, and blocks movement of the slide towards the distal point when the lock is in an engaged state.

  • Patent number: 5148389
    Abstract: A technique for assigning addresses to modular units connected to a computer system expansion bus. A unique address is initially generated in a controller module attached to the expansion bus and is transferred to the first one of several serially coupled expansion modules. The first modules receives the unique address which now identifies that module and generates a new unique address from the received unique address. The new unique address is transferred to the next expansion module which uses the received address to identify itself. The steps are repeated until each expansion module has received a unique address to identify itself. In each module, a Read Only Memory (ROM) is used to receive the unique address from the previous module and to generate a new address for the next module.
