  • Publication number: 20230270288
    Abstract: A lock member includes a housing, a movement body, and an elastic member. The housing includes an open groove at an inner wall of the housing. A bottom of the open groove is provided with a movement surface. An end of the movement surface proximal to an opening of the open groove is a locking end, and an end of the movement surface distal to the opening of the open groove is an unlocking end. The movement body is provided in the open groove and moveable along the movement surface. The elastic member is provided in the open groove and configured to maintain the movement body at the locking end or the unlocking end of the movement surface.

  • Patent number: 7353272
    Abstract: A method for Internet performance monitoring and analysis includes, by at least one data collection agent (DCA), a DCA being a computer operating on the Internet and configured with software that is controlled remotely from another location on the Internet, responsive to a request from another location, said request including an indication of a web page, collecting web page object-level data with said at least one DCA; measuring access to web page objects in the web page; and transmitting measured information about the access to the web page back to the location that made the request. The measuring includes one or more of: capturing non-speed based information including errors during download, source of content by IP address, and type of content that an object represents, and parsing and recognizing other objects referenced in a content returned that also need to be retrieved. The measuring utilizes an HTTP protocol to interact with a web server.

  • Publication number: 20070252759
    Abstract: A compact system can use modular components to enhance the isolation or quality of signals that an antenna array produces. The system can comprise an array of input coupler modules and an array of output coupler modules respectively on the input and output sides of a signal routing device. Each input coupler module can receive a signal from a specific element in the antenna array and can divide or split that received signal into a multiple signal components, such as seven. The signal routing device can route each of those signal components to a different output coupler module in the array of output coupler modules. Thus, each output coupler module can receive and combine multiple signal components, such as seven, from different input coupler modules. The signal routing device can include a readily manufacturable phase trimming section to compensate for phase mismatches.

  • Publication number: 20060107604
    Abstract: A flash pan is adapted for collecting and distributing water infiltrating a building at an access opening. The flash pan includes a low-profile base designed to reside beneath the access opening. The base has opposing longitudinal inside and outside edges, opposing lateral end edges, and top and bottom major surfaces. A plurality of feeder channels are formed with the top major surface of the base, and extend from the inside edge towards the outside edge. A longitudinal collection channel is formed between the inside and outside edges of the base. The collection channel communicates with the plurality of feeder channels for receiving water collected by the feeder channels. A drain channel communicates with the collection channel, and extends outwardly towards the outside edge of the base. Water collecting in the feeder channels flows to the collection channel, and is distributed away from the base through the drain channel.

  • Patent number: 6973490
    Abstract: A system for internet performance monitoring and analysis includes at least one agent connected to a computer network and adapted to collect the object-level data and to measure the access parameters while the collection of the object-level data occurs. Appreciably, the system may a plurality of agents located at distributed points throughout a global computer network. Each agent is adapted to collect the object level data and to measure access parameters while the collection of the object-level data occurs. The collective measurements when taken at different points throughout the network provide functional tools to assess the distribution of the remotely readable documents.

  • Publication number: 20050097837
    Abstract: A method is provided for managing water infiltrating a building at a window opening. The method includes, from an inside of the building, accessing a gap formed at a base of the window opening between a window sill and a horizontal window framing member. A flash pan is then installed within the gap to collect water entering the gap.

  • Publication number: 20050021289
    Abstract: A system and method for using information in an auxiliary data system to enhance the capability of automated testing of graphical user interface (GUI) based applications. Embodiments of the invention establish a method to map auxiliary data to automated tests of the GUI in order to map out all tests that need to be created, which tests need to be changed as this auxiliary data changes, and how each automated test needs to be updated to handle these changes.
