  • Publication number: 20150309702
    Abstract: A system with a server configured to generate data for display on a first computing device. The server configured to receive a query over a network from a web browser launched on the first computing device and to generate an output with data for transmission over the network to the first computing device. The data generates a user interface on the web browser that configures the web browser to display information about the plurality of valve assemblies. In one example, the user interface is configured to conform to a form factor that defines physical attributes of the display on the first computing device. The user interface is also configured to receive a user selection from an end user that defines the query to change the information on the user interface to relate to an individual valve assembly from among the plurality of valve assemblies.

  • Publication number: 20070011296
    Abstract: The online support system of the present invention provides each user with possible resolutions and operations to eliminate problems and troubles arising in a device of the user in the form of Web pages. The online support system allows the user to gain access to a Web page defined by the URL, which is specified according to user's input information, for example, the model name of the device, the nation, the operating system, and the type of a problem. Possible resolutions and operations against a specific problem, which are prepared in advance, are then displayed for self help on the browser. The operations and resolutions are provided in a stepwise manner in response to user's instructions until the problem is eliminated. When the problem is not eliminated by any of the possible operations and resolutions, the online support system displays an E mail (electronic mail) transmission form. The transmission form allows the user to gain E mail support.

  • Patent number: 5781360
    Abstract: Apparatus for detecting data track misregistration is described. The present invention involves the interaction of a microprocessor with a demodulator. Microcode within the microprocessor initiates a misregistration scan of all data tracks at specific intervals to generate a calibration offset table that is used to direct the heads during the subsequent interval. A demodulator obtains the peak values of calibration servo bursts, displaced one-half of the track width to either side of a track, and outputs a timing pulse proportional to their respective peak voltage values. A timer within the microprocessor extracts the time values, and the misregistration displacement is calculated by the comparison of the inner burst and outer burst time values. The calculated displacement is used in the offset table for subsequent disk references.

  • Patent number: 5535094
    Abstract: A module which has an integral blower that cools an integrated circuit package. The blower is attached to a heat sink that is mounted to the integrated circuit package. Heat generated by the integrated circuit conducts to the heat sink. The blower generates a stream of air that flows across the heat sink and removes heat from the package. The module may have a manifold and duct that direct the airstream across the heat sink.

  • Patent number: 4999091
    Abstract: A process for coating an article simultaneously with a metal and a film-forming polymer which comprises passing an electric current at a current density of 1 to 35 milliamps cm.sup.-2 between the article as a cathode and a counter-electrode immersed in an aqueous coating composition having an inherent pH of 2.5 to 9.5, comprising:(a) a dispersion in an aqueous carrier of film-forming polymer having steric stabilizing units and being free from ionic stabilizing units the dispersion being one which has a critical coalescence value more negative than -0.3 units and(b) at least 0.06% by weight based on the total composition of one or more zinc, cadmium, cobalt, iron, lead or nickel salts such that the dispersion has a critical coalescence temperature of 35.degree. to 90.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 4452945
    Abstract: Coating compositions capable of curing at or near to room temperature comprise 90-50% by weight of a specified hydroxyl group-containing addition polymer, 10-50% by weight of an alkylated melamine-formaldehyde crosslinking agent and an acid catalyst consisting of a blend of a C.sub.1-4 alkylated arylsulphonic acid and a C.sub.8-14 alkylated arylsulphonic acid in amounts such that the --SO.sub.3 H group content is 0.70-2.1% of the total weight of the addition polymer and the crosslinking agent. The compositions are particularly suitable for the refinishing of automobile bodies.
