  • Publication number: 20160307415
    Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method monitor a device within a zone. A head may wirelessly communicate with an emitter and a hub. The device may be secured to the head. The emitter may transmit a signal to define the zone, and the head may receive the signal to detect the presence of the device and the head within the zone. A first alarm may be triggered upon removal of the head and the device from the zone. A second alarm may be triggered upon removal of the head and the device from the zone for a time that exceeds a threshold of time. A key may insert into the hub to deactivate the second alarm.

  • Publication number: 20160305587
    Abstract: A seal assembly is for a hammer union. The seal assembly comprises: a metal gasket and a pipe comprising a receiving portion arranged to receive the metal gasket internally in the pipe. The receiving portion and the metal gasket are shaped such that a relative rotation between the metal gasket and the pipe results in the metal gasket engaging with the receiving portion, thereby ensuring that the metal gasket is held in the receiving portion independently of the orientation of the pipe. A receiving portion and a metal gasket for use in said seal assembly are described as well. Further, a hammer union including said seal assembly is described.

  • Patent number: 9473661
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a receiving section, a distance acquiring section, an arrival time calculating section, an execution order determining section, and a printing section. The distance acquiring section acquires a distance between a user and the image forming apparatus. The arrival time calculating section calculates a travel speed of the user based on variation per unit time in the distance acquired by the distance acquiring section and calculates an arrival time indicating an amount of time it will take for the user to arrive at the image forming apparatus based on the calculated travel speed and the acquired distance. The execution order determining section determines, an order of execution of print jobs based on the arrival times calculated by the arrival time calculation section. The printing section then executes the print jobs in the execution order determined by the execution order determining section.

  • Patent number: 9473261
    Abstract: A method of enabling transport of symmetric latency-sensitive constant-bit-rate (CBR) client data streams over an optical transport network (OTN) is provided. The method performs, utilizing an OTN wrapping device, an OTN wrapping operation on a received first constant-bit-rate (CBR) client data stream to form a first framed OTN data stream. The method determines a static wrapping delay induced on the first CBR client data stream by the OTN wrapping operation, performs, utilizing the OTN wrapping device, an OTN unwrapping operation on a received second framed OTN data stream to extract a second CBR client data stream from the second framed OTN data stream, determines a static unwrapping delay induced on the second framed OTN data stream by the OTN unwrapping operation, and equalizes the static wrapping and unwrapping delays by adjusting, at the OTN wrapping device, at least one of the static wrapping and unwrapping delays.

  • Patent number: 9473289
    Abstract: A base station determines a first set of PUCCH resources to use for a first set of UEs to send acknowledgment information to the base station for a first group of DL subframes. The first set of PUCCH resources starts at a first index. The base station determines a second set of PUCCH resources to use for a second set of UEs to send acknowledgment information to the base station for a second group of DL subframes. The second set of PUCCH resources starts at a second index. The UEs in the first set only use the first set of PUCCH resources. The UEs in the second set use the first and second sets of PUCCH resources. For an UL reception, acknowledgement information is received from the first UEs using the first set of PUCCH resources and from the second UEs using the first and second sets of PUCCH resources.

  • Patent number: 9473658
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a main system that can operate in a normal state and an energy-saving state, a data retaining unit that stores data, and a subsystem that may execute transmission and reception of data to and from an external apparatus. While the main system is in the energy-saving state, if the subsystem receives main dedicated specific data of pieces of main dedicated data required to be processed by the main system, the subsystem may store the main dedicated specific data. While the main system is in the energy-saving state, if the subsystem receives main dedicated data other than the main dedicated specific data from an external apparatus, the subsystem may transition the main system to the normal state and cause the main system to process the main dedicated specific data stored and the main dedicated data other than the main dedicated specific data.
