  • Publication number: 20220093681
    Abstract: Methods and systems for creation of a flexible display panel, useable with a folding palm top or similar device, are disclosed. Embodiments include forming a micro-LED based display panel that uses a transparent flexible electrode. The transparent flexible electrode is fabricated from reduced graphene oxide and a wire mesh, to achieve a flexible electrode that is comparable to known Indium-Tin-Oxide electrodes in transparency and electrical characteristics, but is sufficiently flexible to support folding device usages. Other embodiments are described.

  • Patent number: 8595634
    Abstract: A method for facilitating distributed hosting of web application styles may include storing original style sheets at a first location, where the original style sheets pertain to a user interface (UI) provided by the service provider, and allowing a third party to customize a subset of the original style sheets and to store the customized style sheets at a second location. The method may further include causing the customized style sheets to be combined with the original style sheets when the user interface is presented to a user associated with the third party.

  • Patent number: 8533588
    Abstract: A method for overriding images in user interfaces using web application styling sheets may include creating a first style sheet defining a first image. The first style sheet allows customization of the first image by referencing the first image using a background attribute and a first location. A second style sheet defines a second image using a background attribute and a second location. The method may further include creating a web page with a link to the first style sheet and a link to the second style sheet, and sending the web page to a client for presentation, where the second image overrides the first image when the web page is presented to a user.

  • Publication number: 20060265159
    Abstract: A position sensor monitors relatively fast moving objects with signal conditioning for reduced power and reduced wiring. A transducer and related circuitry generate a dynamic signal proportional to a position of a moving object and also generate one or more low frequency or static (DC or zero frequency) error signals. The low or zero frequency error signals are removed and a position signal is generated using only two connections to a remote sensor monitor, thus allowing ease in multiplexing and reduced wiring. Circuit options allow placing less circuitry on the sensor itself for small size or more circuitry on the sensor for less control requirement.

  • Publication number: 20060174682
    Abstract: A sensor monitoring system and associated methods are provide that preferably include a plurality of sensors connected in parallel across a single pair of wires that include resistances of equal value placed in series between each sensor. This allows each sensor to measure the voltage dropped between itself and the monitoring system to determine its relative placement on the bus to autonomously assign itself a number to delineate to the monitoring system its relative location on the equipment or item being monitored. The sensors modulate their internal resistance to change the current on the bus to transmit their status to the monitoring system.

  • Publication number: 20060151122
    Abstract: A method of operating a vaporization system including a first cylinder, a second cylinder, and an eductor having a suction inlet, a motive inlet, and an outlet is provided. The method includes vaporizing uranium hexaflouride in the first cylinder, channeling the vaporized uranium hexaflouride in the first cylinder to the suction inlet of the eductor, monitoring the pressure of the vaporized uranium hexaflouride channeled to the suction inlet, and channeling the vaporized uranium hexaflouride through the outlet. The method also includes vaporizing uranium hexaflouride in the second cylinder, and channeling the vaporized uranium hexaflouride in the second cylinder to the motive inlet of the eductor when the flow of uranium hexaflouride channeled to the suction inlet is below a predetermined amount.

  • Publication number: 20050116704
    Abstract: A proximity sensor is carried within a small diameter package and includes a magnet for providing a desirable magnetic field for operation of proximity sensing circuitry carried along a central axis to allow for a maximum sensor signal output with no change due to a relative rotation angle between the sensor and a target being monitored. Electrical contact pins include an offset positioned near the central axis for permitting a desirable small gauge insulated wire to be connected the sensor.

  • Patent number: 6697747
    Abstract: A method of performing an operation comprises operation steps and evaluation steps. The evaluation steps comprise: identifying a set of performance shaping factors which influence the outcome of the operation; allocating a probability value to each performance shaping factor, the probability value representing the influence of the respective performance shaping factor on the performance of the operation; allocating a weighting value to each performance shaping factor, the weighting value representing the significance of the respective performance shaping factor relative to at least one other of the performance shaping factors; calculating, from the probability values and the weighting values, an effectiveness value representing the effectiveness of the operation. The operation may be an inspection process, for example on an aircraft or a fleet of aircraft.

  • Patent number: 6460713
    Abstract: An anti-pilfer device for application to a cork of a wine bottle includes a disc. The disc has a recess in at least one surface and is adapted to accommodate an adhesive for securing the disc to the cork. The disc is formed from a material having a relatively wide useful temperature range. The range is from about −5° C. to about 100° C. such that the material has a glass transition temperature below about −5° C. and a softening point in excess of about 100° C.

  • Patent number: 3945077
    Abstract: A motor drives a film strip take-up reel to draw moving picture film from a freely rotating film supply reel through a film cleaner including a pair of oppositely rotating brushes also driven from said motor. The brushes are disposed on aligned and parallel shafts disposed at a level below that of the supply reel and above that of the take-up reel; with the film following a path generally downwardly from the supply reel about the lower portion of the cleaner brush closest to the film supply reel, up between the cleaner brushes and over the upper portion of the film cleaner brush closest to the film take-up reel, and thereafter generally downwardly onto the film take-up reel. The film path so taken by the film provides for an appropriate tension on the film which in turn insures efficient and proper film cleaning.
