Abstract: A method and system determine a location of a signal emitter. A plurality of sensors each receives a signal transmitted by the signal emitter. One of the received signals is processed to produce a template describing an estimate of the signal transmitted by the signal emitter. The template is cross-correlated with at least some of the signals received at the sensors. At least one cross-correlation feature is identified from each cross-correlation and the cross-correlation features are used to determine the location of the signal emitter.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a laminated composite paperboard packaging for containing ice cream and a method of manufacturing the same. In one embodiment of the present invention, a laminated packaging material comprises a layer of paperboard, a layer of an aqueous coating disposed on a first surface of the layer of paperboard, and a layer of a thermoplastic resin disposed on a second surface of the layer of paperboard, wherein the laminated packaging material has a water vapor transmission rate of less than 20 grams per square meter per twenty-four hours in an environment of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit and 90% humidity.

Abstract: Location of an emitter using leaky cables. A two-channel receiver determines the location of an emitter by measuring the phase and/or amplitude difference between emitter signals received by leaky cables. In one embodiment, two leaky cables having different propagation velocities are used. In a second embodiment also suitable for use with fiber optic cables, two cables having the same propagation velocity are used, but have different lengths, the extra length being taken up by serpentine patterns or loops. A single cable in a loop may also be used. The leak points on the cables may be passive, or may be controlled RF switches.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a method for making a non-wicking liquid container material comprising providing container stock material having a first side and a second side, applying a first layer of thermoplastic material to the first side of the container stock material, compressing the container stock material such that the first layer of thermoplastic material is pressed substantially through a portion of the container stock material, applying a second layer of thermoplastic material to the first side of the container stock material, and applying a layer of foam material to the first side of the container stock material.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a non-slip roofing underlayment made using an extrusion lamination process with a desirable minimum substrate-to-substrate static coefficient of friction of at least 0.400, made using an extrusion lamination process. In one embodiment, a roofing underlayment is manufactured from the steps comprising providing a first layer of a woven thermoplastic material, extruding a second layer of thermoplastic material on the first layer, at a temperature between about 470 degrees and about 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and laminating a third layer of non-woven thermoplastic material on the second layer through a nip at a pressure between about 50 pounds per square inch and about 90 pounds per square inch.

Abstract: A condensate pan insert for an evaporator assembly is configured to snap onto a condensate pan to prevent condensation blow-off in a down flow application. The condensate pan insert comprises a cover member, a snap member, a first wing member, and a second wing member. The snap member is coupled to the cover member and configured to engage with the condensate pan. The first wing member is insertable between a first surface of the condensate pan and a bottom of a first evaporator coil slab. The second wing member is insertable between a second surface of the condensate pan and a bottom of a second evaporator coil slab.

Abstract: A laminated substrate and method of making same using an infrared activated thermoplastic adhesive material coated on one side of a linerboard substrate and a plastic material extruded to the other side of the linerboard substrate. The thermoplastic material having a mineral additive to act as a heat sink when the substrate is exposed to infrared radiation.
