  • Patent number: 9580954
    Abstract: A system for mounting a secondary panel within a window frame of an existing window. The system includes a rigid panel, an elongated deformable bulb, and an elongated carrier. The bulb has a resilient, rounded portion, a base section, an extension extending from the base section, and a crosspiece coupled to a distal end of the extension. The crosspiece includes a pair of shoulders at opposite ends of the crosspiece. Each shoulder extends laterally away from a centerline of the bulb and protrudes laterally beyond the extension. The elongated carrier has a receiving slot opposite a panel gap configured to receive an edge of the panel. The receiving slot has a neck laterally narrower than an interior cavity of the receiving slot. The receiving slot is configured to securely receive the crosspiece of the bulb and to confine the shoulders of the crosspiece.

  • Patent number: 9535882
    Abstract: A system and method for creating and managing electronic forms is described. The system includes a processor configured to receive an image of a form and receive, via a network interface, form template information specifying at least a first input field. The form template information includes a first input field type selection and first field location information for the first input field. The first input field type is selected from a plurality of input field types and the first field location information is defined relative to the image. The processor stores the form template information within a memory. The electronic form is configured to be rendered by superimposing a representation of the first input field over the image of the form.

  • Publication number: 20160346958
    Abstract: The present invention relates to low or zero-tack composite materials such as pre-pregs and their use in automated manufacturing, particularly robotic pick and place. The present invention further relates to an automated process for preparing an article, particularly a moulded article, from a fibre-reinforced composition material. The moulded articles prepared by the process described herein are particularly suitable as components for transport applications, and particularly the automotive industry. The automotive components prepared by the present invention are particularly suitable as mid- or high-volume automotive parts, in which cost and speed of production are paramount. The present invention provides a process in which the cutting and handling of pre-preg materials is greatly simplified, providing advantages of efficiency and economy.

  • Publication number: 20160217189
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying results of a query that includes a type predicate is provided. A search system maintains a collection of facts that includes a triple for each fact and a type table that maps entities of the facts to their corresponding type. The search system uses the type table to speed up the process of identifying the search results when the query includes a non-type query triple and a type query triple. A type query triple is a triple that has a type predicate, rather than a non-type predicate. To execute a query that contains a non-type query triple and a type query triple, the search system identifies the triples of the collection that match the non-type query triple. The search system then uses the type table to determine which of the identified triples match the type query triple for inclusion in the search results.

  • Patent number: 9341522
    Abstract: A temperature sensor includes a temperature probe, an adapter, a resilient device, and a visual indicator. The temperature probe includes a temperature sensing device disposed at a temperature probe tip. The adapter surrounds a portion of the temperature probe such that the temperature probe is movable within the adapter in a lengthwise direction. The adapter includes a physical reference. The resilient device is adapted to produce a force between the adapter and the temperature probe. The force being variable based on a position of the temperature probe within the adapter. The visual indicator is disposed on a surface of the temperature probe. Alignment of the visual indicator with the physical reference corresponds to a desired force produced by the resilient device.

  • Patent number: 9244822
    Abstract: A target device, such as a storage controller, may host an interface that manages objects, such as storage objects (e.g., logical unit numbers (LUNs), volumes, etc.), maintained by the storage controller. Accordingly, an object on the storage controller may be modeled as an object model, such as an object oriented library, based upon modeling information mined from the storage controller. The object model may be automatically generated, such as by discovering the interface to the object using available information in a command line interface (CLI) and/or an XML file (e.g., an XML help file). In this way, the object model may use hosted/exported interfaces to manage the object.

  • Publication number: 20150202520
    Abstract: A lower leg guard device is disclosed allowing a full range of ankle motion, while at the same time preventing impact injuries to the lower leg, including the Achilles area, the ankle, and the shin. The lower leg guard device includes two substantially rigid exterior shells each with a cushioned interior liner. The lower leg guard device can be securely attached to the lower leg with one or more attachment straps, and with at least one floating attachment pad that attaches to the wearer's footwear. A floating attachment pad can be positioned over both the inner side and outer side of the ankle, preferably attached to footwear that covers the ankle. The floating attachment pads are attached to the footwear using removable fasteners, located on the exterior surface of the footwear worn by the wearer, so that the guard device can be quickly and easily put on and removed.

  • Patent number: 8944872
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lifted fin apparatus comprising one or more lifted fin elements with foiled tin components for a reduction of pressure and drag and an increase in surfboard lift as well as a method of achieving surfboard lift through, the use of said apparatus. Generally, the lifted fin apparatus comprises two or more lifted fin elements exhibiting a foil design on one or more of the fin surfaces. The individual fin elements may comprise a substantially vertical fin attached to a first edge of a base member and oriented at a substantially 90° angle in relation to the bottom surface of the surfboard or to the first edge of the base member. The fin elements may further comprise an angular fin mounted to a second edge of the base member at one end and the lower portion of the first, fin at the other end. In said embodiment, a bend or elbow is formed between a first fin component of angular fin and base member proximate the point of attachment at second edge of base member.
