Abstract: A vent for a computer enclosure is envisioned. The vent system has a fan, operable to draw a flow of air from within the enclosure and direct it out through an outlet vent disposed in a wall of the enclosure. The outlet vent is made of an outlet path. The outlet path is defined by a first and a second side member. The first and second side members are attached to the enclosure and form an environmental seal. The outlet vent also has an outlet face oriented at a first angle relative to the wall. A plurality of slats are rotatably coupled to the outlet face. The plurality of slats maintain a first position when the fan is not operating. When the fan goes into an operational mode and produces an airflow, the plurality of slats swing radially outward to a second position. The plurality of slats return to the first position when the airflow is not present. The angle of the slats in the first position is nearer to parallel to the first angle than when in the second position.

Abstract: A new version of a Tavi wheel toy is disclosed with a wheel compatible in being rolled by a shoe mounted on an extended handle. The wheel and the handle both carry LEDs that are energized and connected to motion detectors. In use, the wheel is engageable by a shoe mounted at one end of the handle and the shoe can be used to urge the rolling of the wheel. The shoe also includes a roller bearing that assists in reducing any fiction when the shoe engages the wheel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door module which is equipped with an outer removable lining comprising optimum operation systems and components. According to the invention, the door module is mounted and removed from the outer face of the door, thereby dispensing with the need for complicated access means from the face which is directed towards the upholstery (1).

Abstract: A locking system can include an RFID lock that can include a shackle and a body that can, for example, be steel, or other materials commonly used to produce locks, such as metal alloys, etc. The shackle can be pressed into the body and locked into place by an electronic piston. When the RFID lock is to be unlocked, an electronic piston can release the shackle allowing the lock to be opened. Unlike conventional locks, however, the electronic piston can be controlled by an RFID reader. The electronic piston can be opened when the RFID reader reads an RFID enabled key that is configured to unlock the RFID lock. In other words, specific RFID enabled keys can be configured to open the RFID lock analogously to the way that specific keys can be cut to configure the key to open a specific lock.

Abstract: A method of transferring a multi-variate process control model from one RF-powered plasma processing chamber (the reference chamber) to another nominally identical RF-powered plasma processing chamber (the target chamber) comprises first determining a multi-variate process control model on the reference tool based upon sensor data, 100. Then, a set of sensor data is taken for the reference chamber by running a designed experiment, 102, and a corresponding set of sensor data is taken for the target chamber using the same designed experiment, 104. The relationship between the reference and target chambers is determined by comparing the results of the designed experiments and calculating a transform matrix representing differences between the two chambers, 106. Finally, the process control model is transformed from the reference chamber to the target chamber using the transform matrix thus obtained, 108.

Abstract: A method for selectively removing metal from a metallized substrate (e.g., a metallized polymer film) and the formation of devices thereby are provided. The method involves selectively exposing the metallized surface to a demetallizing (i.e., an oxidizing) chemical solution. The metallized layer can be selectively exposed to the demetallizing solution using a flexographic printing process wherein printing rollers are used to transfer the demetallizing solution to the metallized surface. An identification device including, for example, a holographic, retro-reflective, or other metallized material and a radio-frequency transponder are also provided. The radio-frequency transponder includes an RF chip and an antenna in electrical communication with the chip. The identification device including the holographic image allows both electronic identification through the reading of identification data stored in the chip and optical identification via the holographic image.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for transmitting and receiving information from a radio frequency (RF) transponder. A conductive adhesive connects an antenna in a non-metallized region to a metallized region. This feature transforms the entire metallized region of the radio frequency device (i.e., the remainder of the metallized material outside the non-metallized region) into an antenna.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a radio frequency identification device that utilizes multiple operating frequencies. In one embodiment of the present invention, one frequency (e.g., an ultra-high frequency such as 915 MHz, 800 MHz, 915 MHz, or microwave frequency such as 2.45 GHz) is used for data transmission, and another frequency (e.g., a low or high frequency such as 13.56 MHz) is used for field penetration. In another embodiment, one frequency is used for reading information received from the multi-frequency identification device, and another frequency is used for writing to the multi-frequency identification device. In an additional embodiment, the multi-frequency identification device utilizes one antenna for all frequencies. In another embodiment, the multi-frequency identification device utilizes two or more antennas for different frequencies, and one common memory. In other embodiments, one or two digital parts, analog parts, antennas, and memories can be used.

Abstract: RFID tags can be deployed in such a manner as to deter, or even prevent loss of inventory. For example, by associating an RFID tag with each container of a certain alcoholic beverage, pharmaceutical, etc. each container can be tracked for a variety of purposes over the life of the container; including, e.g., tracking each container in the warehouse to prevent loss of inventory, verifying that containers have been imported properly, and verifying that requisite taxes have been paid. A tag can be associated with a container using various techniques, including, e.g., affixing the tag to the surface of the container, imbedded it in the material of the container, embedding the tag in a label affixed to the container, or affixing or embedding it in a bottle cap. The RFID Tag can be used with metal when a dielectric is selected to isolate the RFID tag from the metal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a supporting module with waterproof seal for vehicle doors mainly comprised of a flexible laminar element (2) that can establish a waterproof seal between the wet and dry sides of the door (1), also meant to facilitate the mounting tasks of each component. The flexible laminar element has a sufficient supporting capacity to allow a preliminary mounting on it of the various door components for a subsequent installation of the entire assembly on the door in a single operation; however, the strength and structural capacities of the door continue to rely on its reinforcements and ribs, and not on the flexible laminar element, thereby allowing a cheaper and simpler laminar element and assembly as a whole.

Abstract: An enclosure for operationally retaining a plurality of electronic modules has a housing comprising front, side, upper, lower, and rear walls, and housing enclosing an inner volume. The enclosure has an inner wall running between the side walls and attached to the lower wall. The inner wall is positioned between the front and back walls, and splits the inner volume into a first inner volume and a second inner volume. The inner wall extends from the bottom wall to a height less than that of the height of said top wall, and defines an opening between the first inner volume and the second inner volume. An exhaust vent is disposed through the rear wall of the housing. Openings exist in the housing into the first inner volume. This allows an airflow into the first inner chamber. An environmental flow mechanism, such as a fan, is coupled in proximity to the exhaust vent.

Each threshold is a predetermined fraction of a running average of the amplitude of the component.
