Abstract: A method for determining mail archive ownership during data migration is described. The method is performed by a Migration Manager that is capable of generating a list of possible owners based on confidence level. The confidence level is obtained by scanning various messages associated with the mail archive and determining a frequency of appearance a particular user name (e.g., e-mail address) appears compared to the total number of messages scanned. The generated list of possible owners can subsequently be used to determine/confirm the owner of the mail archive. Confirmation may be required before the data migration is completed.

Abstract: A carpet cleaning system having a single, hand-held wand and mounted on it, a pre-spray canister, a venturi tee fluidly connected thereto, and valves for directing pressurized hot water into first and/or second flow streams. Downstream of a flow-splitting tee, a single valve regulates the first flow stream; and a pair of valves, sandwiching the venturi tee, regulate the second flow stream. This pair also controls cleaning solution discharging from the pre-spray canister via the venturi tee. Positioned at the operator's fingertips are the single valve's handle and a bar for moving the paired valves' handles simultaneously, thus allowing one to momentarily turn on or off either flow stream or adjust a mix thereof. Importantly, without interrupting any steam cleaning then in progress, one can immediately reapply the cleaning solution to a stain and, as a consequence, substantially upgrade the quality of the finished carpet cleaning job.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a muffler shield includes a shield body extending in a longitudinal direction and defining a middle portion positioned between first and second side portions along a transverse direction, a cross-section of the middle portion and at least one of the first and second side portions respectively defining a middle profile and a side profile shorter than the middle profile.

Abstract: The apparatus and methodologies used herein leverages RoIP to generically transport either conventional modulation (e.g., AM, FM, phase or pulse) or complex modulation (e.g., GMSK, CDMA, TDMA, OFDM, etc.) in real time or near real time across an internet protocol link, such as Gigabit Ethernet (GBE). The purpose of the invention is a method of creating a live, virtual, modulation transcendent link by using an internet protocol (IP) link to extend the natural range of a connection between an RF signal source (e.g. transmitter) and an RF receiving device (e.g. receiver). This methodology is referred to herein as radio frequency over internet protocol (RFoIP).

Abstract: Provided is a laser imageable media that forms both a vesicular bubble image and an infrared image upon exposure to laser radiation. The laser imageable media comprises (1) a substrate, preferably a transparent plastic substrate, (2) an infrared absorbing layer comprising an infrared absorbing compound, preferably an aminium radical cation compound, that exhibits a reduction in infrared absorption when exposed to the laser radiation, and (3) a polymeric layer comprising an organic polymer, preferably nitrocellulose, overlying the infrared absorbing layer. The vesicular image on a transparent plastic substrate is readable with a visible scanner without the use of any reflective background material behind the transparent plastic substrate.

Abstract: A driver circuit for a light source including one or more solid state light sources, a luminaire including the same, and a method of so driving the solid state light sources are provided. The driver circuit includes a rectifier circuit that receives an alternating current (AC) input voltage and provides a rectified AC voltage.

Abstract: An automated pallet checker system for checking the structural integrity of a pallet includes a conveyor arrangement mounted on a framework and operable to convey the pallet to be checked through an in-feed station and a lift station connected to the in-feed station. The in-feed station is configured to check the pallet for a presence or absence of pallet bottom cross boards as the pallet is carried on the conveyor arrangement. The lift station is also configured to check for obstructions depending from the pallet bottom cross boards, and missing material in leading and trailing edges of the pallet top cross boards during a lifting movement of the pallet in the lift station. A controller is operatively connected to the conveyor arrangement, the in-feed station and the lift station, and is responsive to signals generated in the in-feed station and the lift station to determine whether the pallet being checked in the in-feed station and the lift station is acceptable or unacceptable.
