Abstract: A system for storing key information for duplicating a key includes a kiosk comprising a key identification module. After identifying key blank and bitting pattern information for one or more master keys associated with a user, the kiosk receives a user request to store the identified key information on a remote device associated with the user. Upon verification of the user's identity, the kiosk may encrypt the identified key information, and transmit it to the remote device for storage. On a future visit, upon verification of the user's identity, a kiosk comprising a key identification module and a key cutting module may receive and decrypt the previously stored key information from the remote device. The kiosk may cut the key for the user via the key cutting module based on the previously stored key information.

Abstract: A method of continuously processing glass ribbon having a thickness ?0.3 mm. The method includes providing a glass processing apparatus having a first processing zone, a second processing zone and a third processing zone. The glass ribbon is continuously fed from the first processing zone, through the second processing zone to the third processing zone. The feed rate of the glass ribbon is controlled through each processing zone using a global control device. A first buffer zone is provided between the first processing zone and the second processing zone in which the glass substrate is supported in a first catenary between two, spaced-apart, payoff positions. A second buffer zone is provided between the second processing zone and the third processing zone in which the glass substrate is supported in a second catenary between two, spaced-apart, payoff positions.

Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a tape advancing through the manufacturing system and a station of the manufacturing system. The tape includes a first portion having grains of an inorganic material bound by an organic binder. The station of the manufacturing system receives the first portion of the tape and prepares the tape for sintering by chemically changing the organic binder and/or removing the organic binder from the first portion of the tape, leaving the grains of the inorganic material, to form a second portion of the tape and, at least in part, prepare the tape for sintering.

Abstract: Systems and methods for handling fluid discharged from an oilfield drilling operation including cuttings and other waste products are disclosed. An eddy pump is coupled to a tank with a controller for dispensing a predefined quantity of fluid to a truck, dryer, or another suitable receptacle. The controller causes a precise quantity of fluid to be dispensed and can deliver a weight ticket to an operator which reduces the risk of too heavy a load causing a fine or too light a load to cause inefficiencies.

Abstract: Automated control of simulcast ratios based on network traffic data provides efficient network capacity management. In one aspect, a remote switching matrix can be utilized at a venue to couple remote transceiver units (RTUs) with different antenna ports, for example, of one or more multi-beam antennas deployed at the venue. A simulcast ratio that can be utilized to support traffic demand at the venue can be determined and implemented by creating dynamic connections between the RTUs and the antenna ports. In one aspect, the simulcast ratio can be modified based on changes in network traffic at the venue that are monitored via self-organizing network devices. In addition, one or more antenna beams of the multi-beam antennas are remotely steered or rotated based on a location of the traffic.

Abstract: A system and method for making an edge section of a thin, high purity fused silica glass sheet. The method includes a step of directing a laser to melt through the glass sheet with localized heating of a narrow portion of the glass sheet to form an edge section of the glass sheet, and continuing the edge section to form a closed loop defining a perimeter of the glass sheet. The method further includes rapidly cooling the glass sheet through the glass transition temperature as the melted glass of the edge section contracts and/or solidifies to form an unrefined-bullnose shape extending between first and second major surfaces of the glass sheet.
