Patent number: 7742436Abstract: The present invention relates to an agent for distributed networking and a processor-readable software code. The agent may include, for example, a cosite analyzer, an EMI sniffer, an asset controller module, an asset discovery module, and a link negotiator. The agent may be configured to initiate and optimize network configurations for radio communications systems based on parameters. The software code may receive data associated with a network plan, may determine if any planned links are included in the network plan and may establish connectivity of a confirmed link between at least two nodes in the network. Additionally, the software code may determine if a non-planned link should be added to the network and may establish connectivity for the non-planned link based on a priority associated with the non-planned link.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2005Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: General Dynamics C4 Systems, Inc.Inventors: Steve Carrillo, Paul Bristow, Alan Stewart, Richard Stewart, William Kelley

Patent number: 7255391Abstract: A twin-sheet thermoforming process for the manufacture of vehicle headliners. In the process a first sheet and second sheet of SuperLite material are mounted onto respective frames. The frames transfer the sheets into an oven, where they are heated to a desired temperature using IR. The first sheet is combined with a cover-stock material using compression molding forming a covered first headliner part. The covered first headliner part is then transferred to a second mold station. The second sheet is heated and then transferred from the oven to the second mold station where it is vacuum-formed on the upper half mold, forming a second headliner part. The upper and lower mold halves are pressed together fusing and sealing the first and second headliner parts into a unified part. The unified part is then unloaded and trimmed as necessary forming a headliner.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2004Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Azdel, Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Bristow, Jesse G. Hipwell, Richard D. Hemstreet

Publication number: 20070160822Abstract: A multilayer sheet comprises an outer decorative permeable film layer, an adherent layer of insulating fiberglass, and an open cellular fibrous layer intermediate the outer decorative film layer and the insulating fiberglass. The open cellular fibrous layer comprises fibers bonded together with a thermoplastic resin. The outer decorative layer is adhered to the open cellular fibrous layer through a permeable adhesive web.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: July 12, 2007Inventors: Paul Bristow, Scott Davis, Thomas Ebeling, James Forden, John Brown

Publication number: 20050289620Abstract: The invention relates to a system for generating an application data signal from content signals having embedded application data The content signal may be an MPEG 2 encoded TV signal. A storage device (111) comprises a receiver (115) which receives the content signal from an external source. An extraction processor (117) extracts the application data from the content signal and independently stores both in a data storage (119, 121). An application data generator (127) is operable to generate an application data signal by retrieving the stored application data from the data storage separately from the content signal. Thus the application data signal may be processed or communicated independently of the content signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2003Publication date: December 29, 2005Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Paul Bristow
