  • Publication number: 20050060759
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for creating and distributing programming content carried by a digital streaming media to be a plurality of remote nodes located over a large geographic area to create customized broadcast quality programming at the remote nodes. At the remote nodes, a multi-window screen display simultaneously shows different programming including national programming and local programming content. The remote nodes utilize a remote channel origination device to assemble the customized programming at the remote location that can be controlled from a central location. An encapsulated IP and IP encryption system is used to transport the digital streaming media to the appropriate remote nodes. Also disclosed is a graphical user interface (“GUI”) providing a software control interface for creating and editing shows or programs that can be aired or played on a remote display device having a multi-window display.

  • Patent number: 6639108
    Abstract: A process for the work-up of a reaction mixture formed by ammoximation of a ketone, in particular an alkanone or cycloalkanone, by means of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia in homogeneous solution over a titanium-containing catalyst. It comprises the substeps removal of the catalyst, selective separation of the oxime formed in the ammoximation from the reaction mixture, removal of water of reaction and recirculation of the solvent.

  • Publication number: 20030020598
    Abstract: A method and system for transferring data between at least one read/write device (RWD) and at least one mobile data memory (MDM). The mobile data memory (MDM) is preferably attached to an object for recording object-related status and/or process data, e.g. in a dispatch, transport and/or manufacturing system for the individual objects. According to the method, a difference in transfer time between the received data signals of a mobile data memory (MDM) and transmitted data signals of the read/write device (RWD) is determined in the read/write device (RWD) and the received data signals of the mobile data memory (MDM) are processed further in said read/write device (RWD) only if the difference in transfer time which has been determined lies within a predefined transfer time limit.

  • Publication number: 20030012304
    Abstract: A method and circuit for transmitting a data-modulated high-frequency data signal fC from a transmitter to a receiver, for transmitting data between a read-write device (RWD) and at least one mobile data memory (MDM) in an identification system that has a number of mobile data memories (MDM) which are placed on objects and which are provided for detecting object-specific status data and/or process data. Such an identification system is particularly useful, e.g., in a shipping, transport and/or manufacturing system of the individual objects. In addition to the transmitted high frequency data signal fC, a further high-frequency data signal fS is transmitted, which serves to convert the frequency and/or to modulate the carrier code of the high-frequency data signal fC.

  • Patent number: 6499944
    Abstract: A heat shield of a turbo machine is provided with a microstructure. In a preferred embodiment, the microstructure element comprises a plateau, which is arranged on a rib in such a way that the structure has a “T”-shaped cross section. The ribs are preferably embodied as plates set on edge on the heat shield and are aligned with their surface perpendicular to the circumferential direction (U) of the turbo machine. This results in low bending dimensional rigidity in the circumferential direction. In this way, it is possible to accommodate scraping of a component involved in relative motion in the circumferential direction without plastic deformation. Moreover this arrangement gives the maximum possible resistance to a leakage flow. When used at high temperatures, it is furthermore advantageous to provide ways to enable a coolant to be supplied to the microstructure.

  • Patent number: 6412541
    Abstract: A thermally highly loaded casting is produced. The casting mold is produced from a slurry using a wax model and a polymer foam which is fixed to the wax model or has been introduced into a cavity. In this way, during the casting process the liquid superalloy also penetrates into the open-cell structure of the casting mold, so that an integral cooling structure is formed during the solidification of the casting. A single-crystal or directionally solidified casting is advantageously produced. It is also conceivable to vary the cell size of the polymer foam, to produce a cooling structure and a base material separately, and to coat the cooling structure with a ceramic protective layer (thermal barrier coating).
