Abstract: An oxidation intensifier device for a continuous dyeing system for dyeing a warp thread, the device arranged for being mounted in the oxidation assembly of the dyeing system and comprises two blowing assemblies having a substantially identical shape and opposed one another, each blowing assembly is provided with at least one respective fan and, downstream of such a fan, with a respective plurality of convergent conduits arranged along development directions that are parallel and transversal to the feeding direction of the warp thread, the convergent conduits of a first blowing assembly converge in a opposite direction with respect to the convergence direction of the convergent conduits of the opposite blowing assembly, each convergent conduit is configured to face parallel to a single lap of the warp thread moving inside the dyeing system and is provided with a plurality of longitudinal slots oriented along the same development direction of the respective convergent conduit, where each fan is hydraulically co

Abstract: Systems and methods for differential altitude estimation utilizing spatial interpolation of pressure sensor data are provided. In one embodiment, a method for mobile navigation comprises: measuring a horizontal location of a mobile navigation unit to generate two-dimensional horizontal coordinate data; measuring a barometric pressure at the mobile navigation unit with a sensor to obtain local pressure data; processing information representative of pressure data derived from a network of a plurality reference stations to obtain a correction factor; performing a calculation using the two-dimensional horizontal coordinate data, the local pressure data, and the correction factor to calculate an altitude coordinate; and determining an altitude of the mobile navigation unit from the altitude coordinate.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed at allowing a vehicle to idle for a predetermined amount of time before shutdown. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that accepts input from the vehicle operator to initiate a countdown to vehicle shutdown. When the input is received, a countdown is initiated that is regularly updated to reflect the passage of time. During the countdown, a vehicle ignition bus is maintained in an active state and a countdown value that reflects the time remaining before shutdown is presented on a graphical display. Then, in response to expiration of the countdown, the method allows the vehicle ignition bus to transition into an inactive state.

Abstract: An endless transport belt made of thermoresistant synthetic filaments for transporting yarn is described, which yarn is wound around a plurality of transport belts in the form of loops, said transport belts being arranged polygonal in cross section. In order to reduce stretching of the transport belt, at least one reinforced thread is included among the synthetic filaments, which reinforced thread is preferably a steel wire or cord.

Abstract: A web finishing section in a paper machine including a dryer section having one or more dryer groups, a calender and a reel-up. The calender is placed at least partly underneath the reel spool storage space of the reel-up so that the reel-up is placed substantially directly after the calender, in which case, the web is passed directly from a calendering nip in the calender onto the reel cylinder or to a substantially short distance from the calender, the web being passed over one guide member that supports and/or spreads the web onto the reel cylinder. The calender includes one or more calendering belts for carrying the web through the calendering nip(s). A method for finishing a web is also described.
