The user manages his or her own multimedia contents in the associated user profile.

Abstract: Military systems in particular face two specific problems: field casualties typically increase as unit visibility decreases and it is often difficult for ground stations and/or headquarters to maintain control and visibility of geographically dispersed assets. The system provides satellite communications such as two-way messaging, Voice over Packet, and global positioning information and reporting for fixed and rotary wing aircrafts where traditional methods of communications are not otherwise practical. The system provides communications between remote users and other remote users as well as between remote users and control stations. In some embodiments there is an in-flight transceiver system that includes an antenna, an aviation box, and a switch. The aviation box conforms to a one-half, ½ short Air Transport Rack (ATR) form factor and includes a transceiver, an interface card, and a global positioning system (GPS) unit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a step stool, and particularly to a folding step stool including legs that fold between an opened, use position and a collapsed, folded position. The present disclosure also relates to a tray assembly that moves relative to the legs and is used for storing or holding articles associated with use of the step stool. The step stool includes a mechanism to coordinate the movement of the tray assembly and a step of the step stool when the step stool is moved between the opened and collapsed positions.

Abstract: An engine includes a housing having a combustion chamber. The engine may also include a fuel injector for supplying fuel directly or indirectly to the combustion chamber. Additionally, the engine may include an engine-lubricant-supply system operable to discharge engine lubricant onto the fuel injector.

Abstract: A method, a system and a computer program product presents multimedia contents in elevator installations. At least one individual user profile with multimedia contents is stored for each elevator user. When a user is identified, the multimedia contents in the associated user profile are presented. Dining a group transport, the individual user profiles associated with the users in the group are linked in a collective travelling profile for presentation of selected multimedia contents.

Abstract: Sunscreen compositions contain the active ingredients avobenzone, zinc oxide and phenylbenzimidazole sutfonic acid. The phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid protects avobenzone against photodegradation.

Abstract: Sunscreen compositions contain the active ingredients avobenzone, zinc oxide and phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid. The phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid protects avobenzone against photodegradation.

Abstract: A substantially aqueous composition comprising one or more particle encapsulated sunscreen active agents, at least one volatile additive, and at least one UV-radiation scattering agent, whereby the composition provides an SPF greater than 30.

Abstract: Photocatalytic materials based on coupling of semiconductor nanocrystalline quantum dots (NQD) and molecular catalysts. These materials have capability to drive or catalyze non-spontaneous chemical reactions in the presence of visible radiation, ultraviolet radiation, or both. The NQD functions in these materials as a light absorber and charge generator. Following light absorption, the NQD activates a molecular catalyst adsorbed on the surface of the NQD via transfer of one or more charges (either electrons or electron-holes) from the NQD to the molecular catalyst. The activated molecular catalyst can then drive a chemical reaction. A photoelectrolytic device that includes such photocatalytic materials is also described.

Abstract: An excavator tooth system having a mounting nose having a projecting spigot and a wear member (12) having at one end a socket (18), the socket (18) being defined by spaced side walls and upper and lower walls converging from a rearwardly facing socket opening to a forward end of the socket. Each of the upper and lower walls comprises a forward bearing face (8a) and a rear bearing face (7a) separated by a forwardly convergent intermediate face. The front and rear bearing faces (8a,7a) are substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis (50) of the wear member and engage corresponding bearing faces (8,7) in said spigot.

Abstract: This invention proposes a new, improved method and apparatus for applying web segments to a traveling web. These web segments, sometimes called ears or wings, may be asymmetrical or otherwise incompatible with the usual slip-and-cut method. The asymmetrical shape may have differing web tensions which can cause the web segments to be improperly engaged with the vacuum holes on an anvil roll. The present invention utilizes both circumferential rows of vacuum holes and an additional pattern of ear retaining vacuum holes. The circumferential rows of vacuum holes are activated consecutively by vacuum commutation, however, the pattern of ear retaining vacuum holes are activated simultaneously to counter the effects of differing web tensions on the ear portions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new set of algorithmic solutions to accommodate track inaccuracy information in track databases. Navigation and measurement aiding processes are defined by a stochastic mode relative to a moving rail frame defined so that it is aligned with the heading of the compensated track database at the current along track-position. Filtering generates long and short wavelength track alignment disturbances commensurate with track grade to compensate for track database errors; a stochastic error model is defined as the difference between the deterministic implementation and the actual stochastic processes Bayesian estimation of the error variables is implemented via a digital Kalman filter with the navigation, database, and measurement errors removed by subtracting the filter estimates.

Abstract: This invention proposes a new, improved method and apparatus for applying web segments to a traveling web. Ears, or wings, are placed on a running web of disposable diapers. Because these webs are often asymmetrical or otherwise incompatible with the principle of slipping over the surface of a moving vacuum roll, the webs may float from side to side or otherwise be drawn out of square by asymmetrical forces. A vacuum groove is provided on a vacuum roll to counter these effects. Alternatively, a ridge with vacuum about the ridge is provided, also to pull a machine direction line of material into the groove or over the ridge, thereby giving the web some degree of cross-directional stability.

Abstract: A novel technique for embedding a reversible watermark into digital media files, and then removing this watermark, in whole or in part, at some later date, without access to the original media file, which may consist of such media types as audio, image, video, 3-D and the like; such watermarks being primarily intended for, though not limited to, the introduction by a reversible mathematical operation of perceptually significant elements, including but not limited to pseudorandom noise, such that the degraded media is suitable merely for demonstration or trial purposes, and with the watermark resistant to removal without proper authorization; but with authorization, can then be removed from the media file to prepare it for its ultimate high-quality use.

Abstract: A digital filter pre-calculates C(1)*S(n?1), C(2)*S(n?2) . . . C(p?1)*S(n?p+1), prior to the arrival of sample S(n). As such y ? ( n ) = ? k = 0 k = p - 1 ? C ? ( k ) * S ? ( n - k ) may be calculated as a result of a single further multiply and accumulate operation, upon arrival of the symbol S(n). This, significantly reduces the latency of the filter.
