  • Patent number: 8644473
    Abstract: A method is provided for directing calls placed to a telephone number associated with a user according to a reservation identifying the user, a workspace, and a start time. The method includes acts of receiving a first message from a telephone device located at the workspace in response to a first input at the telephone device on or after the start time, retrieving the reservation from a reservation database in response to receiving the first message, sending a second message to the telephone device based at least in part on a portion of the reservation identifying the user, receiving a third message sent in response to a second input at the telephone device, the third message including an identifier of the telephone device, retrieving the telephone number associated with the user from a user database, and directing calls placed to the telephone number associated with the user to the telephone device.

  • Publication number: 20120238428
    Abstract: A method for providing a wound up fiber reinforced tube includes the steps of: manufacturing a fiber reinforced tube by: providing a plastic inner liner (1), subsequently providing a reinforcement layer (2) around the liner, subsequently providing a coating layer (3) around the reinforcement layer, winding the manufactured fiber reinforced tube onto a reel, characterized by providing a shear connection element (4) between the liner (1) and the reinforcement layer (2).

  • Patent number: 5194870
    Abstract: FMCW radar return signals are converted to i.f. in a front end section, digitised in an A-D converter, and reduced to in-phase and quadrature base band components at a lower sampling rate in a filter section. Returns are compared with a separate reference waveform signal from a generator for each range cell by a multiplier and an accumulate and dump function. The reference waveforms for subsequent range cells are delayed by one sample period. The provision of separate correlation of de-ramping for each range cell enables non-linear sweep wave forms to be employed, whereas the conventional method using a single Fourier Transform for all range cells simultaneously restricts operation to a linear sweep waveform.
