Abstract: A coupling for connecting fuel pipes in an aircraft is provided. At least one of the fuel pipes is capable of movement with respect to the coupling. The coupling comprises a pipe end fitting and a socket arrangement. The pipe end fitting is located within the socket arrangement. At least one resiliently flexible electrical contact is located between the pipe end fitting and the socket arrangement. The coupling may thus form a flexible coupling electrically connecting two pipes to prevent static electricity build-up whilst permitting movement between the pipes.

Abstract: A facility including molds into each of which a latex foam is introduced and a furnace into the vulcanizing chamber of which the molds are introduced with a view to vulcanizing the latex foam for the formation of articles. The facility further includes a mold filling station for filling the molds with latex foams, a stripping station for removing the articles and a washing unit and drying unit for the stripped articles. The vulcanizing chamber is embodies by a shell arranged at a distance from the side walls and above the furnace, which together with the latter delimits an enclosed space which communicates with the vulcanizing chamber by way of passages embodied in the lower part. The invention provides for the upper part to have at least one opening for introducing steam which communicates with the enclosed space and for the lower part to have at least one opening for extracting the steam and evacuating the condensed water.

Abstract: In an enterprise portal server system having a server, a web-based central processing unit (CPU) sizing method and system. The CPU sizing system includes logic for determining primary performance metrics that may affect the performance of a portal server. The CPU sizing system further includes logic for gathering secondary sizing factors that may also impact the performance of the portal server.

Abstract: In an enterprise portal server system having a server, a resource load balancing method and system. The resource load balancing system includes logic for determining threshold load values for optimal performance of the portal server. Current load values in the portal server are intermittently calculated during a load sampling period to determine whether resource overload conditions exist in the portal server during the load sampling period. In one embodiment of the present invention, when resource overload is detected, a load balancing module automatically identifies under utilized resources in the portal server in order to distribute user processes or requests causing the overload conditions from the over utilized resources to the under utilized resources. In one embodiment load balancing conditions are automatically communicated to a system administrator for replicate configuration conditions in the portal server to remote resource connected to the portal server.

Abstract: In an enterprise portal server system having a server, a resource load detection method and system. The resource load detection system includes logic for determining threshold load values for optimal performance of the portal server. Current load values in the portal server are intermittently calculated during a load sampling period to determine whether resource overload conditions exist in the portal server during the load sampling period. In one embodiment of the present invention, resource overload is automatically detected, during a load sampling period, if the current load values exceed the pre-determined threshold load values. In one embodiment of the present invention, a maximum number of concurrent users that may connect to the portal server together with the average session time of user accesses to the portal server defines the optimal threshold load values for the portal server being sampled.

Abstract: A solenoid operated valve with a magnetic can or jacket with a closed end received over the coil and retained by crimping over a tubular flanged pole washer received over the opposite end of the coil. An inlet orifice is formed in the closed end of the jacket and a radial valving passage communicates the inlet orifice with an outlet between the coil and jacket. A moveable magnetic armature is disposed within the coil and has a non-magnetic planar valving member provided in one end for seating around the inlet orifice when the solenoid is energized.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-acoustic transducer using a self-supporting active radiating membrane made from a polymer material. The invention provides a transducer in which a resilient shape restoring member fixed to the case capped by the radiating membrane takes on the shape of the concave parts of the membrane, so as to oppose the definitive staving-in of the membrane by an accidental thrust force acting on the dome shaped protuberance on its outer face and restore the member to its initial shape when the force is removed.
