  • Patent number: 8081122
    Abstract: A slotted monopole wideband antenna, comprising an insulating rectangular chip mounted on a carrier substrate, said carrier substrate including a feeding structure, and said chip comprising a first side adjacent to said feeding structure, a feed point of the antenna is located near said first side. An electrically conducting lamina is folded over four faces of said insulating chip, said lamina being connected to the feed point at one end, and to ground at another end. At least two slots are formed in an upper section of said folded lamina, said slots having the effect of lowering the principal resonance of said antenna, thereby providing a miniaturized antenna suitable for integration in a mobile wireless communications handset.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060294090
    Abstract: A probabilistic process to determine the owner of an electronic file, such as a Personal Store (.pst). A weighted analysis of multiple factors is performed including the operating system file owner, a user running the process, a “top Y most frequently occurring addresses” when analyzing “X number of sent then received messages,” and a number of occurrences of each “top Y most frequently occurring address.” Other factors, such as the ability to resolve against a directory service may be used. Each of the “top Y most frequently occurring addresses” is analyzed to calculate its weight according to a predetermined relationship and the address is compared to the operating system file owner and a logged-on user value. If there is a match, that value is returned as the probable owner of the file.

  • Publication number: 20060088724
    Abstract: Improved adhesion characteristics in a metal-resin composite laminate are provided by the production of enhanced anodized surface characteristics with a separate one-sided etch for metal coil compositions, that can be used for coils of metal substrates that are incorporated into metal composites, particularly for use in exterior applications having enhanced durability and weather-ability, such as traffic signage and fascia display patterns.

  • Patent number: 6420309
    Abstract: A melt transferred imaged coated product and process for decorative simulated wood, metal or stone-like patterns especially useful on treated non-sealed, non-anodized metal-resin composites for interior signage and display, is described. The product exhibits excellent adhesion bonding between the aluminum surface and the transferred-carrier film that contains the dry-ink image that is deposited on the aluminum surface. The aluminum surface is prepared by conventional pre-etching means, coated with a suitable thermosetting resin and then optionally primed with an adhesive prior to melt transfer of the image. The final surface finish coating is protected with an additional transparent adhesive backed polymer film.
