  • Patent number: 12570077
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an extruded industrial fabric. A method of manufacture of the industrial fabric is crosshead extruding a first layer polymeric matrix material with linear components. The linear components crosshead extruded with the polymeric matrix material may be continuous systems oriented in the machine direction. A nonwoven layer of material is provided on a surface of the first layer of polymeric matrix material and a second layer of polymeric matrix material is extruded onto the nonwoven layer of material. The first layer of polymeric matrix material at least partially encompasses the linear components. A faceside of the industrial fabric may be smooth or may include a texture or pattern. A backside may be smooth (planar), have a variable roughness, or include needled fibers that are incorporated into the structure of the fabric.

  • Publication number: 20260028776
    Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial fabric, such as a texturing belt, used to create three-dimensional structures in a product produced thereon, e.g., in the papermaking field, such as for fiber products, and in nonwoven processes. The invention concerns a texturing belt that can impart an endless variety of complex patterns utilizing discretization, such as, wherein individual subunits that comprise a pattern element are not connected, and therefore do not act as a stressed member of the texturing belt.

  • Publication number: 20240001602
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a nonwoven extruded industrial fabric. A method of manufacture of the industrial fabric is crosshead extruding a polymeric matrix material with linear components. The linear components crosshead extruded with the polymeric matrix material may be continuous systems oriented in the machine direction. The polymeric resin matrix at least partially encompasses one or more of the linear components. The resin matrix may likewise be further reinforced by the inclusion of nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and/or chopped fibers. A faceside of the industrial belt may be smooth or may include a texture or pattern.

  • Publication number: 20180131713
    Abstract: Techniques for monitoring site security are disclosed herein. Sites are scanned for security metric values associated with one or more security metrics. Normalized values for those scanned security metric values are calculated based on previously obtained values associated with one or more other security metrics associated with other scanned sites. Site security metrics are then calculated for the sites based on a subset of the normalized values and based at least in part on a comparison to other scanned sites.

  • Publication number: 20170257394
    Abstract: A clickjacking protector in an electronic system helps prevent unwanted clickjacking. The elements clicked on by the click position are evaluated to determine whether any of the elements clicked on by the click position is obscured (including being transparent or partially transparent). A protective action is generated in response to a determination that an element clicked on by the click position is obscured.

  • Patent number: 9386277
    Abstract: A first video conferencing device determines pane sizes of a plurality of video content to be displayed at a second video conferencing device, where the pane sizes are determined based on a minimum video pane size of the second video conferencing device. The first video conferencing device then transmits, to the second video conferencing device, a video stream including at least a subset of the plurality of the video content with the determined pane sizes. The determined pane sizes are equal to or greater than the minimum video pane size.

  • Patent number: 9305174
    Abstract: A clipboard in an electronic system protects sensitive data by copying data into a clipboard of an electronic system as an entry and selectively blocking access to the sensitive data. An entry protect status is associated with a clipboard entry that is arranged to store copied data that is sensitive. The entry protect status is changed to indicate the entry protect status is set to block access to the copied data. Access to the copied data for which the entry protect status has been changed is selectively blocked.
