  • Patent number: 8392617
    Abstract: Configurations for automated synchronization of browser data from a desktop web client (e.g., a desktop web browner) to a web client on a mobile device are provided. In particular, session data including navigation history data of one or more visited web pages on the desktop web client can be synchronized with a mobile device. Initially, session data from the desktop web client can be received over a network. In some configurations, a notification can then be transmitted to a mobile device for indicating session data is available for synchronizing with a mobile web client on the mobile device. The session data is then transmitted to the mobile web client. On the mobile device, the received session data can be displayed in a window of the mobile web client.

  • Patent number: 4989666
    Abstract: In a process for electromagnetic casting of round and hollow ingots, in particular such of aluminum and aluminum alloys, the ingot (7) is rotated about its longitudinal axis (x) during casting. This is achieved by way of a rotatable dummy base (6). With that the metal feed and cooling of the ingot is made symmetrical and, as a result, a more uniform shape is obtained and a more uniform cell structure across the ingot cross-section. In order to promote a stronger stirring effect, a stationary stirrer (8) dipping into the molten part of the ingot (7) can be provided attached to the metal inlet system (3).

  • Patent number: 4801075
    Abstract: A completely openable fluidtight packing wrapper for pasty products and in particular food products such as processed cheese. This wrapper comprises a shell having a bottom (2) of triangular shape bordered by two lateral walls (6, 7) and a wall forming a heel (8). A tearing element (24) comprises two tearing strips (25, 26) each extending in a first portion (27, 32) along one of the lateral edges (22, 23) of the heel (8) and in a direction parallel to this edge and, in a second portion (28, 33) along one of the lateral edges (4, 3) of the bottom (2) and in a direction parallel to this edge, these two strips (25, 26) being at least partly superposed in a third portion (29, 34) in the vicinity of the point (30) of the triangular bottom (2) so as to constitute a single pulling tongue (31) which extends beyond the sheet (1) forming the shell.

  • Patent number: 4796689
    Abstract: An electromagnetic mold for vertical continuous casting of rolling slabs, featuring an inductor and an electromagnetic screen partly covering the induction is such that the vertical distance between the lower edge of the inductor and the lower edge of the screen is greater at the narrow sides of the mold than at the broad sides of the mold. As a result of this arrangement it is possible to prevent metal running out of the ingot head at the narrow sides during the start-up phase. The foregoing is achieved at the expense of an insignificant amount of melt circulation occurring in the molten head of the ingot.
