Publication number: 20240092677Abstract: A method of shaping a glass sheet includes providing a glass sheet. The glass sheet is heated to a temperature suitable for shaping. The glass sheet is deposited on a first bending tool. The glass sheet is disposed over a first segment of the first bending tool. The first segment at least partially defines a shaping surface of the first bending tool. The first segment of the first bending tool is moved from a first position to a second position to cause contact with a first portion of the glass sheet. The contact with the first portion of the glass sheet adjusts a position of the glass sheet relative to the shaping surface of the first bending tool. The glass sheet is shaped on the first bending tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: PILKINGTON GROUP LIMITEDInventors: ROBERT J.

Publication number: 20210182392Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing a method for detecting and defeating ransomware on a computing device by monitoring selected “bait” files for suspicious file accessing activity. Whenever a bait file is accessed by any software, embodiments of the invention determine whether the accessing software is potentially ransomware. If ransomware is suspected, embodiments of the invention may halt execution of the suspected ransomware and may also take other remedial measures to issue warning notifications and to limit further damage to unaffected data files of the computing device. Such other remedial measures may include removing executable files associated with the suspected ransomware software, shutting down the computing device, and/or setting the computing device to reboot into a safe mode so that further ransomware removal steps can be taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2020Publication date: June 17, 2021Applicant: Rangone, LLCInventor: Robert Stephan HARGROVE

Patent number: 6882842Abstract: A method wherein an autonomous system that must move off of the current DCCH channel: determines a new DCCH channel; transmits on the current DCCH channel a new PSP/POF list in which the new DCCH replaces the current DCCH, transmitting the new PSP/POF list for a time sufficient for mobile stations camped on the current DCCH to update their PSP/POF lists; and begins broadcasting on the new DCCH channel. Whereby a MS camped on the current DCCH: receives the new PSP/POF list; updates its internal tables; loses communications on the current DCCH; performs the Control Channel Reselection procedure; finds the new DCCH channel; and camps on it.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2001Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Robert Stephan, Pramod S.

Patent number: 6733898Abstract: Polypropylene resin compositions are provided that are useful in the production of biaxially oriented polypropylene films (BOPPs). The resins of the present invention are blends of high crystalline (low solubles) polypropylene homopolymer and an ethylene/propylene random copolymer (RCP). These blends can be used to replace standard high solubles BOPP grade polypropylene homopolymers. In addition, the use of high crystalline polypropylene homopolymers in the blends imparts improved stiffness to the finished films while maintaining good processability of the blends.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Sunoco Inc.Inventors: Sehyun Kim, Michael Robert Stephans
