  • Publication number: 20060032624
    Abstract: A self-contained, fully-integrated, energy efficient heating and cooling system or apparatus for conditioning the air on the interior of a building which includes a means for creating airflow through the apparatus, a section for cooling the airflow, a section for heating the airflow, a means for directing the airflow into the cooling section or into the heating section, a reheat device for tempering (i.e., reheating) the airflow exiting the cooling section, a return air section for receiving air returned to the apparatus from the building interior, and a means for pulling the returned air out of the return air section and venting the returned air to the environment outside of the building. The heating section of the present invention also provides a “four-pass” heat exchanger which may be assembled from sections of cast iron or other suitable materials, and a high efficiency combustion burner which may be integrated into the four-pass heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 6849668
    Abstract: A multi-functional photoinitiator of formula (I) R1m—Q—(A1—PI)n??(I) wherein Q is a heteroatom selected from Si, Ti, Zr and Sn or any two independently selected such heteroatoms linked by a covalent bond or a by C1-16 (preferably C1-9) alkylene group, n is at least 2 and n+m=the functionality of Q, each R1 is the same or different and is a non-photoinitiator group; each group PI is the same or different and is a photoinitiator group. Each —A1— is the same or different and is selected from linking groups of formula —(A2)p—Z— wherein p has an average of from 1 to 10, preferably from 3 to 5 and the groups —A2— are either (a) each independently selected from C2-4 alkyleneoxy groups; or (b) each independently selected from groups of formula —O—(CH2)qCO— wherein q is from 3 to 5, and Z is selected from —O—, —S— and —NR6— where R6 is C1-6 alkyl.

  • Patent number: 6839312
    Abstract: The ability of a data reader, such as a CD-ROM drive, to access, extract, or otherwise read the data on a digital audio compact disc provides a problem for the music industry. A user can use his CD-ROM drive to read the data from an audio disc into a computer file, and then that data can be copied. To provide copy protection, errors are deliberately introduced into the data on a CD, but these errors are of a type which are generally transparent to an audio player but which will interfere with the reading of the audio data by a data reader. According to the standards, the data on a CD is encoded into frames by EFM (eight to fourteen modulation). Each frame has sync data, sub-code bits providing control and display symbols, data bits and parity bits, and includes 24 bytes of data, which is audio data for a CD-DA. The standard requires that 98 such frames are grouped into a sector. To provide copy protection, each is provided with a non-standard number of frames, for example, has 99 rather than 98 frames.

  • Patent number: 6764577
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a paper product that is printed with a masking pattern. The masking pattern is such that it is not discernible on the paper product, yet is heavy enough to obscure objects which may appear behind the product to the eye of the consumer. In this manner, the consumer perceives the paper product to have a greater opacity than the product actually has, and thereby the consumer is not misled to assume the absorbency and/or strength of the paper product is less than is actually the case.

  • Patent number: 6751494
    Abstract: The three-dimensional structure of the surface of a cavity is reconstructed. The cavity can be the outer ear canal of a person. A probe with an optical sensor is introduced into the cavity to produce video signals, which are transmitted to a computer device. The computer device transforms the video signals into position data representing the surface of the cavity, thereby defining the three-dimensional structure of the cavity.

  • Patent number: 6608814
    Abstract: In general, the SRM provides a network provider with visibility and control of its broadband network. A SRM connection manager receives setup signals to and from a subscriber and acts on them by analyzing the setup signals and by either comparing the setup signals to predefined rules, which are either static or dynamic, or modifying them. The access server provides intelligence to the SRM by verifying authentication information according to the connection manager's database and continuously updating the connection manager database for further modification of the subscriber's acquired session.
