Abstract: A biarticulating headrest having a chair mount adapted for attachment at one end thereof to a back support section of a chair. The headrest includes a base plate on the backside thereof. One or more headrest mounts can be attached to the base plate at a first end thereof. A first axis can be attached to a second end of one or more of the headrest mounts and a second axis can be attached to a second end of the one or more chair mounts. The headrest includes a biarticulating headrest locking mechanism, wherein the positioning assembly is movably engaged to the first axis at a first end and to the second axis at the second end thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a glazing comprising an assembly of thin layers having at least one conductive metal layer and dielectric layers, in which at least one dielectric layer located under a metal layer is deposited by a high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering process (HPPMS).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, system and method for playing interactive distributed gaming. One embodiment of the method comprises transmitting a performance prediction to a scoring database on a game server and determining an actual performance outcome. The actual performance outcome representation is transmitted to a remote terminal. The performance prediction is scored based on the actual performance outcome. In at least one embodiment, a predetermined ruleset is used to score the performance prediction based on the actual performance outcome.

Abstract: The invention relates to a conductor track layer structure precursor stage with conductor tracks, which are disposed on an electrically insulating substrate with an inner region and a lateral peripheral region and which are connected via conductor track current lines to at least one current line which extends in the lateral peripheral region. Per conductor track, there is one conductor track current line. The conductor tracks are electrically insulated from one another within the inner region of the conductor track layer structure precursor stage. The invention also relates to a conductor track layer structure which can be obtained from the conductor track layer structure precursor stage.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an industrial process, including the steps of: providing a knowledge base comprising a two-dimensional representation of operational conditions for the process; obtaining process real time data from the industrial process for a plurality of process variables; selecting relevant features from the real time data; obtaining an operational condition classification from the relevant features; transforming the operational condition classification into a point; and displaying the point on said knowledge base.

Abstract: A method for optimizing production from a rod-pumping system includes the steps of providing a well having a rod-pumping system for pumping a fluid from a downhole location of the well to a surface location of the well; providing a mathematical model for determining a dynagraph relationship for the well from power consumption of the rod pumping system; measuring power consumption per cycle of the rod pumping system; determining a downhole dynagraph relationship from the power consumption per cycle and the model; measuring real time values of wellhead pressure and preferably wellhead temperature; and determining an optimum operating condition for the rod-pumping system from the downhole dynagraph relationship and the real time values.

Abstract: The assembly is used in a reciprocating hermetic compressor of the type comprising a cylinder block (4), presenting a cylinder (11), within which a piston (20) reciprocates, a smaller eye (31) of a connecting rod (30) being introduced into and retained inside said piston (20), through an articulating pin (40), having its end portions supported on respective radial lateral openings of the piston, wherein the portions, which are defined by the peripheral edge of at least one end of the articulating pin and the adjacent internal surface (23a, 24a) of the respective lateral radial opening (23, 24) of the piston (20), are attached to each other by at least one welding spot contained in a respective first welding region, located in a sector of about 90 degrees of said end and symmetric to a diametral line of said end of the articulating pin (40), said line being parallel and coplanar relative the longitudinal axis of the piston (20), at least one welding spot being provided in at least a second welding region oppos
