Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the determination of an outdoor electronic unit (ODU)-type based upon a signal analysis. A device may perform an analysis of a signal received from an ODU, wherein the analysis identifies one or more properties of the signal, the properties including a peak frequency of the signal. The device may then compare the identified signal properties to one or more properties of one or more predetermined spectral configurations, each spectral configuration being associated with an ODU-type. The device may identify an ODU-type associated with a spectral configuration that includes at least one property overlapping a property of the analyzed signal, and the device may determine that the ODU is of the identified ODU-type. In embodiments, the device may determine whether the ODU is using a passive or active configuration.

Abstract: A rubber latex composition is disclosed having reduced allergenicity. Methods for producing a rubber latex composition having reduced allergenicity are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of modifying natural rubber latex and products manufactured from same. In an embodiment, an inflatable latex balloon comprises an aluminum hydroxide-modified natural rubber latex envelope. In an embodiment, the aluminum hydroxide-modified natural rubber latex envelope is substantially free of non-rubber impurities. In an embodiment, the aluminum hydroxide-modified natural rubber latex envelope of the balloon, being substantially free of non-rubber impurities, results in tighter rubber particle integration and improved gas retention capabilities. In an embodiment, the aluminum hydroxide-modified natural rubber latex envelope, being substantially free of non-rubber impurities, results in a more stable, cleaner latex requiring less compounding additives for production. In addition, the present disclosure relates to an extruded rubber thread comprising an aluminum hydroxide-modified natural rubber latex.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) tuner includes a housing, a cantilever snap formed in the housing, the cantilever snap being configured to securely couple the housing to a consumer premise component, and a handle formed on an edge of the housing.
