Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for measuring transaction response times. The method and apparatus can identify service request sequences corresponding to a transaction and the start and stop times for the transaction. The invention can be applied non-intrusively/non-invasively to the service packets communicated between a source and destination node.

Abstract: In an embodiment, there is disclosed a product labeling system comprising: a first high energy electromagnetic or particle wave generator, at least one second high energy electromagnetic of particle wave generator; and a controller operatively configured to direct wave produced by said first generator and the wave produced by said second generator onto a portion of the subsurface of the product to mark the product at said subsurface without generating any substantial disruption of the surface of said product.

Abstract: A seaming method for bonding adjacent sheets of solid surfacing veneer. The method is achieved by forming a first tongue in an edge of a first sheet of solid surfacing veneer and forming a second tongue in an edge of a second sheet of solid surfacing veneer. The second tongue is shaped and dimensioned for mating with the first tongue of the first sheet of solid surfacing veneer. The first sheet of the solid surfacing veneer is then bonded to a substrate such that the first tongue is located at a predetermined position adjacent the location of a desired seam area. The second tongue is mated with the first tongue along the desired seam and the second sheet of solid surfacing veneer is bonded to both the first tongue and the substrate. A solid surfacing structure manufactured in accordance with the method is also described.

Abstract: An integrated system and method for fabricating a countertop from a slab is disclosed. The system includes a cutting station where an apron strip of a predetermined size is cut from a slab, a translating station where the apron strip is translated and positioned along the cut edge of the slab, and a press for adhesively bonding the apron to the cut edge of the slab.

Abstract: A universal computer support bracket adapted for use in a vehicle, particularly in a train. The bracket includes a channel to be mounted on a vertical surface. Slidably mounted in the channel is one end of a folding table support bracket. Pivotally mounted to the other end of the folding table support bracket is a folding table which may be pivoted between a substantially horizontal support position and a substantially vertical storage position. Mounted on the folding table is a pivot joint assembly on which is mounted a computer support table. The computer support table may thus be tilted to facilitate use of the computer. The invention is thus designed specifically to provide a reliable, sturdy and steady computer support bracket for use in a variety of situations, while recognizing and addressing important space considerations.
