  • Patent number: 8572920
    Abstract: A panel for a drop ceiling is made of a semi-rigid but resilient material such as spring steel and includes corner clips adapted to cooperate with the inverted T-shaped stringers of a drop ceiling support system so that the panel is self-centering between opposing stringers and is spring biased into a clamped relationship with horizontal flanges of the inverted T-shape stringers to prevent the panel from moving up and down. The corner clips are also designed to transfer any horizontal compressive shear force in the mounting system to vertical edges of the panel so as not to undesirably bow the flat base of the panel.

  • Publication number: 20120325343
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the extraction of atmospheric moisture and converting it into potable water that is entirely closed and sealed thereby reducing the possibility of bacterial contamination through the system. The water is collected through a compressor and a coil, then filtered through a series of filters and pumped thereafter into a sealed, pressurized bladder that keeps the filtered water unexposed to the atmosphere until it is dispensed for drinking.

  • Publication number: 20100180349
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing a policy driven environment for the development of electronic content is provided. Such a policy driven system and method controlling the introduction of digital content into electronic content under development by monitoring the development environment for file alteration events and analyzing the file alteration event and associated metadata of the electronic content and externally introduced digital content with policy engines that address aspects such as copyright, licensing, source, file type, file length etc according to the policies established by the development organization.

  • Patent number: 7239514
    Abstract: A heat transfer structure for electronic devices comprises at least two electronic devices coupled with corresponding heat adaptors, a high heat conductivity plate and at least two heat pipes spaced between the plate and the heat adaptors. Each of heat pipes comprises an adiabatic section located between evaporating and condensing sections. Each of heat adaptors from one side is in a tight contact with the electronic device while the other side is thermally connected with the evaporating section of at least one of heat pipes. The adiabatic section is made like a bend with at least one curvature radius, thus serves like a displacement compensator. The condensing section of each heat pipes is thermally connected with the plate.
