  • Patent number: 10597831
    Abstract: A rolling device includes a chassis equipped with a reservoir for holding bulk materials and a smoothing table, the smoothing table having a leading edge arranged transversely to the direction of movement of the device, and the bottom of the reservoir being provided with a discharge opening arranged between the leading edge of the smoothing table and the wheels of the rolling chassis of the device, the wheels of the rolling chassis being driven and the rolling chassis being mounted so as to be able to tip about the axis of rotation of the wheels, the reservoir and the smoothing table forming a movable assembly, and the position of the movable assembly can be adjusted by an adjustment unit so as to be able to adjust the height of the smoothing table and the discharge opening, and the inclination of the smoothing table.

  • Patent number: 9906903
    Abstract: An alert system and method with a web based alert server configured with an alert creation portal allowing a customer to generate and store alert information specific to a location. An alert application for mobile devices is configured to upload to the alert server an anonymous token and mobile device location information. The alert server searches for anonymous tokens for mobile devices located within the alert location and serves stored alert information to the alert applications of the mobile devices located within the alert location.

  • Patent number: 7868067
    Abstract: One aspect of the current invention is a halogen containing epoxy composition and a method of producing the same. A functional halogen group, fluorine in one case, is incorporated into an epoxy coating by using a functionalized amine curing agent in small amounts. Functionalized amine curing agents are cheaper and easier to produce from small amine precursors when compared to the cost and complexity of functionalizing bulky epoxy resins. Amine curing agents are incorporated into a cured epoxy network. However, many functional groups will affect the reactivity of the curing reaction due to electronegativity effects. By using small amounts of functionalized amines with a large amount of non-functionalized agent, the effect is small and in the case of migration, it can be advantageous for tribological, mechanical and other properties of epoxies and epoxy-containing materials.

  • Publication number: 20050257041
    Abstract: A remote reboot device allows unattended computer systems to be rebooted or restarted from a remote location. The remote reboot device uses the reset pins on a logic board of a computer system to effectuate a reboot. The remote reboot device includes a network interface for secure communication over a network. A user performs a login procedure to set up a secure communication with the remote reboot device and then selects one or more server to reboot. The remote reboot device sends appropriate signals to the reset pins to perform the reboot operation. Multiple computer systems can be controlled with a single remote reboot device. Alternatively, the remote reboot device may be attached to the power control pins on the logic board of the computer system and use an appropriate signaling sequence to reboot the system.
