  • Publication number: 20050255605
    Abstract: Localized catalyst activity in an SCR unit for controlling emissions from a boiler, power plant, or any facility that generates NOx-containing flue gases is monitored by one or more modules that operate on-line without disrupting the normal operation of the facility. Each module is positioned over a designated lateral area of one of the catalyst beds in the SCR unit, and supplies ammonia, urea, or other suitable reductant to the catalyst in the designated area at a rate that produces an excess of the reductant over NOx on a molar basis through the designated area. Sampling probes upstream and downstream of the designated area draw samples of the gas stream for NOx analysis, and the catalyst activity is determined from the difference in NOx levels between the two probes.

  • Publication number: 20050219510
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for ensuring consistency of color and cosmetic appearance of injection molded parts used in the fabrication of enclosures for information handling systems. A sample of polymer material having a texture and color in accordance with a predetermined specification is inspected by a spectrophotometer and the results of the measurements are stored in a cosmetic feature database of a manufacturing system. A plurality of enclosures for the information handling systems are then manufactured using information stored in the cosmetic feature database. Each of the enclosures has a molded feature that can be used to verify surface finish quality and color consistency of the injection molded parts used to fabricate the enclosure. In a production run for fabricating a plurality of enclosures, one of the enclosures can be removed from the production line and a molded feature can be inspected to determine whether the molded parts comply with predetermined standards for color and surface finish.

  • Publication number: 20050211838
    Abstract: Insulation for use in an aircraft fuselage is formed wherein at least one layer made from an open-celled foam that provides acoustic and thermal insulation. The open-celled foam is compression fitted into the airplane fuselage so as to provide effective attachment to the fuselage. The open-celled foam requires minimal attachment treatments. Further, compression fit of the open cell layer is used as an interface around brackets and unrelated hardware to provide superior close-out of gaps that would normally occur using traditional insulation to bracket interfaces. The preferred foam for the open celled compression layer is also relatively moisture resistant (i.e. hydrophobic) in nature and is compressible to between about 0.5 and 10 percent compression, with about 2% compression being ideal for most applications.

  • Patent number: 6941149
    Abstract: An apparatus (20) and methods are provided for providing Instant Messaging (IM) in a wireless communication system. The apparatus (20) comprises an IM data storage device (22) configured to store first IM contact data associated with an IM client and an IM server (24) configured to access the IM data storage device (22) and retrieve the first IM contact data associated with the IM client. The apparatus (20) is further comprised of an IM access portal (26) in operable communication with the IM server (24) and configured to access second IM contact data associated with the IM client and transmitted to a wireless device (29) of the IM client during a prior wireless connection. The IM access portal (26) is further configured to perform a comparison of the first IM contact data and the second IM contact data and transmit difference IM contact data (54) to the wireless device (29) of the IM client that is produced with the comparison of the first IM contact data and the second IM contact data.

  • Publication number: 20050029058
    Abstract: A bicycle brake shoe assembly including multiple brake pads of different braking compounds replaceably inserted sequentially into a truncated pad holder. The pads have an overlap at one end and an under-lap at the other end such that upon assembly within the holder an overlap portion is mated over an under-lap portion. The pads are captured and retained in place in the truncated holder by a removable end cap. The overlap/under-lap pad mating cooperates with the pad holder and end cap to prevent pad pull out because of wheel rim movement forces on the pads. The brake shoe assembly has a transverse curvature substantially in conformance with the radius of curvature of the bicycle wheel rim, thereby improving pad contact with the wheel rim.

  • Publication number: 20040125581
    Abstract: Provided is a module for attachment to an existing backplane in a telecommunications system. In one example, the module provides high speed interconnect paths for transporting large quantities of data flowing through the system, while enabling the existing backplane to carry lower bandwidth power and control functions. The module may be easily added to a unit in the field without disturbing the operation of the system. In another example, the module may be used to provide the existing backplane with additional functionality, alternate connection types, or other modifications.

  • Publication number: 20030182125
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing multimodal communication outputs information, such as retrieved content, in a first modality. An output modality change command (122) is generated, such as via a multimodal user input interface (116), or other suitable mechanism. A multimodal communication apparatus (102) and method then reprovides the previously output information as reprovided information (124) in a different output modality in response to receiving the output modality change command (122). Accordingly, a user or unit may have content delivered in one modality and redelivered in a different preferred modality or modalities. Accordingly, a user or device may request output modalities dynamically so that content can be delivered using a different user preference after the content has already been provided in a first modality.
