  • Patent number: 11454327
    Abstract: A plug that contacts both an upstream seat and a downstream seat based on a upstream spring creating first forces on the upstream seat and a downstream spring creating second forces on the downstream seat.

  • Publication number: 20200036230
    Abstract: A system for harvesting energy for a vehicle includes an antenna, a DC bus, a receiver circuit, and an electrical load. The antenna is located on the vehicle and is configured to receive a plurality of signals in at least one of a 2.4 gigahertz band and a 5.9 gigahertz band. The receiver circuit is coupled to the antenna and the DC bus. The receiver circuit is configured to convert the plurality of signals to a DC signal that is transmitted onto the DC bus. The electrical load is coupled to the DC bus and is configured to operate at least when the vehicle is not running using the DC signal supplied by the receiver circuit.

  • Patent number: 8731235
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and a system for fingerprinting a data object at a server system and a method and a system for extracting the fingerprint from the data object at a client system. Sections of a data object are watermarked with known watermark data to create a first and a second variant of the data object, whereby the section boundaries are optionally saved as metadata. Using the metadata, the first and second variant are combined by taking sections from the variants to create a fingerprinted data object. From the fingerprinted data object, the watermark data can be extracted again.

  • Publication number: 20110125849
    Abstract: A method is described for distributing content using a P2P distribution system. The distribution system comprises a P2P network connected to a server system, wherein the server system is configured to divide the content in pieces and to provide the P2P network with piece variants of one or more pieces. The method comprises the steps of: providing a communication session between a client and the server system; the client sending a content request to the server system; the client receiving in response to the content request one more piece variant identifiers and distribution information comprising integrity information of all piece variants provided by the server system.

  • Patent number: 7716408
    Abstract: A first docking interface includes a substrate. A first power receiver is formed in the substrate. The first power receiver is operable to be automatically docked to a power provider, such as a burn rack, and to receive power from the power provider. A first power transmitter formed in the substrate and coupled to the first power receiver. The first power transmitter is operable to receive power from the first power receiver and transmit power to an information handling system (IHS).

  • Patent number: 7295927
    Abstract: A method to estimate water saturation (Sw) of a thin-bedded formation is provided including (a) developing a model of anisotropy of resistivity (Rv/Rh) a function of water saturation (Swt) for one or more volume fractions (either Fshale or Fsand); (b) measuring the anisotropy of resistivity of the formation; (c) measuring the volume fraction of the formation; (d) correlating anisotropy of resistivity to the measured volume fraction of the formation using the model to estimate the water saturation (total water saturation or sand water saturation) of the formation.

  • Publication number: 20060000348
    Abstract: The present invention is a method of interception. When a missile is launched and detected by a satellite, an anti-missile rocket is launched to intercept it. When the anti-missile rocket nears the point of interception, it goes into a turn of about 180 degrees, to reverse its course, and comes in behind the enemy missile, at a speed almost equal to that of the ICBM. In this maneuver, coming in behind the ICBM, it reduces the relative speed of the two rockets from about 13,000 mph to about 50 mph, and allows the interceptor missile to approach the ICBM at a slow speed and easily destroy it.
