  • Patent number: 8137783
    Abstract: A pile stripping comprising pile extending from a backing is described whereby the pile is made from pile yarns and the backing is bonded to the pile. A synthetic fiber is interlaced with the pile yarns, and the backing traps at least a part of the synthetic fiber in the backing. The stripping can further comprise a fin, whereby the fin can be located within the pile or alongside the pile. The backing and the fin may be constructed so that the backing is inserted in the fin.

  • Publication number: 20100252168
    Abstract: A new method of making and manufacturing pile weather stripping is described using a non-woven, e.g. a knitted pile that is either cropped or slit to the correct pile height. The pile is then precisely introduced to a singer using guides. After the singing process the knitted pile is guided into the extruder head where the base is extruded around the knitted pile. The density of the knitted pile weather stripping is controlled by adding or removing filling yarns, picks and changing of the yarn denier. The base thickness and configuration is a direct function of the extrusion head. A pile fin or fins can be added as a purchased raw good or extruded as part of the process. The inventive pile weather stripping allows for the fabrication of any pile height, pile density and backing configuration to include throat width, T-slot width, T-slot base depth and varying fin heights.

  • Patent number: 7716527
    Abstract: A repair system is disclosed comprising: a server having a repair manager; a client device having a repair agent; and a network, wherein the server and the client device are connected to the network. The repair agent, in response to a repair signal, is operable to restrict communication of the client device on the network to the repair manager, and the repair manager is operable to provide a repair application. The repair system is enabled to correct actual or potential problems including software viruses and trojans, and spam messages. Diagnosis and repairs can be carried out in response to a deleterious detection system or through user input to the device. The repair agent requires only limited system resources and therefore it particularly applicable to mobile devices where system resources are at a premium.

  • Patent number: 7647379
    Abstract: Method of re-routing mail traffic exchanged with a messaging system in a data transmission system in which at least one user connected to an IP transport network such as the Internet can transmit requests to and receive data from a plurality of servers through a load balancer, wherein at least one of the servers being a mail server in charge of mail exchange with the user through the IP transport network. This method comprises the steps of forwarding a routing context to an external service infrastructure partner (SIP) device when the system is triggered by an event A, reconfiguring the load balancer in order to be able to send a mail protocol to the SIP device when receiving the mail traffic to be re-routed to the SIP device, and forwarding a user context to the SIP device.

  • Patent number: 7571245
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for dynamically externalizing service delivery with a streaming system in a data transmission system. The method comprises the steps of forwarding at least one user context to an external service infrastructure partner (SIP) device when the streaming system is triggered by an event A; reconfiguring a switch layer when the at least one user context is received by the external SIP to allow user reconnection requests to be rerouted to the SIP; stopping the stream delivery for the at least one user; and restarting the stream delivery by the SIP for the at least one user upon receiving a user reconnection request.

  • Publication number: 20060135190
    Abstract: A dynamic remote storage system for storing software objects from a mobile device is disclosed. The dynamic remote storage system includes a remote storage bank server and a wireless communication network. The remote storage bank server is accessible by a user via a terminal. The wireless telecommunication network is capable of providing wireless communication between the remote storage bank server and the mobile device having an object manager. In response to a user's commands, the object manager transfers software objects between the remote storage bank server and the mobile device via the wireless telecommunication network.
