  • Patent number: 9718299
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and/or a system of a flippable board. In one aspect, the flippable board includes a track capable of attaching to a surface, a first hinge component and a second hinge component attached to the track, and a frame attached to the first and second hinge components along a first vertical end of the frame. The first and second hinge components allow the frame to rotate between an open position and a closed position. The flippable board further includes an adjustable left magnet and adjustable right magnet attached to the first and/or second hinge component, and at least one metal sleeve attached to a second vertical end of the frame capable of connecting to the left magnet and/or right magnet of a secondary flippable board and/or an adjustable surface magnet in order to secure the flippable board in the open and/or closed position.

  • Patent number: 8997795
    Abstract: A flexible hose (1) has at least two textile reinforcement inlays or inserts (5, 6, 7) and an inner layer (2) made of elastomeric material. The flexible hose can assume various curvature geometries and, on the other hand, is still pressure-resistant because a textile reinforcement inlay (5) made of a peripherally closed, tubular knitted or woven fabric is applied to the elastomeric inner layer (2). A textile layer (6), which is rubber-coated on both sides, is wound as a further textile reinforcement inlay onto the tubular knitted or woven fabric (5).

  • Patent number: 7830970
    Abstract: A receiver for a multi-carrier communication system receives training pilot carriers (TRPC) during a training symbol (T1, T2) which precedes data symbols (DS) which have data carriers (DC) and data pilot carriers (PC). The receiver has a correction unit (171) which supplies, under control of a control signal (CEC), a corrected signal (CDC1) which has the data carriers (DC) which are corrected for a common amplitude error and/or common phase error.

  • Patent number: 7551691
    Abstract: A receiver for a multi-carrier communication system has a channel corrector (173) which receives an input signal (CDC2) and a correction control signal (EC) to correct an amplitude and/or phase of the input signal (CDC2) to obtain a corrected signal (ED). A channel estimator (19) has a slicer (190) which performs a hard-decision on the corrected signal (ED) to obtain a decided signal (HDS). The correction control signal (EC) is dependent on a difference between the input signal (CDC2) and the decided signal (HDS) to decrease said difference.

  • Publication number: 20070174109
    Abstract: A system and method are described for using a Component Business Model (CBM) to transform a business. A CBM map is used to identify components that collaborate to provide a specified capability, and a repository supporting the CBM map is filtered to provide a view of the identified components that highlights how they collaborate. The view is used to identify component features contributing to the specified capability. The specified capability is then enhanced by a transformation strategy that includes re-engineering particular components, identifying a pattern characterizing the collaboration between components and adding a component to perform the collaborative pattern, and/or adding an additional feature to the collaboration and adding component to perform the additional feature. The CBM repository provides exemplar best practices that can be adapted for use in a re-engineered component.

  • Publication number: 20070038627
    Abstract: A method and system are described for using the structure and relationships between components in a component business model of an enterprise to assign components providing monitoring data to a management component. In response to the monitoring data, the management component executes a business rule invoking a service that alters a behavior of the enterprise. The management component contains data rules limiting the information provided by the assigned components, analysis rules defining the interaction between components, and report rules for consolidating recommendations for altering behavior of the enterprise, including decisions to invest in certain aspects of the business, to reengineer certain processes of the business, and to alter operation of certain aspects of the business.

  • Publication number: 20070027701
    Abstract: A system and method is described for using a component business model to partition a business into non-overlapping components, and then allocating different components to appropriate organizing strategies, based on attribute values assigned to each component. In the best mode of implementation there are two attributes: whether or not the component differentiates the business within the market place; and whether the component is industry standard or is tailored by the organization. These attributes and their values map the components of the business to a matrix. Based on the combination of attribute values in each cell of the matrix, available organizing strategies are also mapped to the matrix, thereby identifying for each component an appropriate organizing strategy.
