  • Patent number: 10669714
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a prefabricated module for a pitched roof element comprising a frame made of at least two first beams being arranged in a distance and running parallel to each other and two second beams running rectangular to the first beams and being connected to the ends of the first beams forming a compartment into which a first layer of an insulation is inserted and a pitched roof element for a building roof made of at least two modules, each comprising a frame made of at least first beams being arranged in a distance and running parallel to each other and two second beams running rectangular to the first beams and being connected to the ends of the first beams forming a compartment into which a first layer of an insulation is inserted.

  • Patent number: 7979225
    Abstract: Method and system that test device sensitivity according to whether the device passes or fails when subjected to a test signal. The device may be repeatedly subjected to test signal at varying operating parameters in order to assess pass-fail threshold at which the device transitions from operating properly/improperly to operating improperly/properly.

  • Patent number: 7627028
    Abstract: A method for making measurements using a vector network analyzer, and for multi-port S-parameter and T-parameter conversion includes a generalized T-matrix definition that facilitates the conversion between the S-parameters and the T-parameters for multi-port networks based on the well understood and mathematically simple 2-port relations. One contemplated approach generalizes all multi-port networks into two cases: balanced and unbalanced. Through careful selection of the T-matrix, the contemplated method extends 2-port symmetry to multi-port networks and provides an engineering implementable relationship between the S- and T-parameters for multi-port networks. This symmetry extension allows a practical means to cascade and de-embed such networks.

  • Publication number: 20080104205
    Abstract: A method and system to provide a media file appropriate for playback. The system identifies an ability of a computer system to playback media content locally by querying a computer system over a network to assess a local playback capability of the computer system. Next, the system creates the media file in response to the identification of the ability and based on the ability. Finally, the system provides the computer system with the media file based on the ability of the computer system to playback the media content locally.

  • Publication number: 20050256941
    Abstract: The invention presented here is a method and system for providing rich media content over a computer network. In accordance with the invention, a server on a physical or wireless computer network polls the software, hardware, or appliance of an end user on the network, for the availability of software and/or hardware necessary for the display of rich media content. This polling is transparent to the end user and requires no action on the part of the end user. Based on the client's response, the server sends an appropriately formatted version of the rich media file. The user is not necessarily aware that this transfer is taking place, as it is taking place in the background, while the user is performing other tasks or viewing content other than that which is being transferred. Once the rich media has been transferred in its entirety and stored, or cached, in the local memory of the client, the rich media content is displayed automatically in a designated display area.
