Filed:

Aug 19, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/193826

Inventors:

John M. Weber - Wake Forest NC, US
John Geoffrey Gundlach - Cary NC, US
Karl Klaus Dittus - Durham NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H01R 13/64

US Classification:

439248, 2483165, 248 742

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for securely positioning a cable connector plug for blind docking an electronic device or module with an electrical connector, for example within a rack for a computer system. A bracket includes a chip that is selectively securable to open and close the bracket. A cable connector plug collar is laterally receivable in the bracket when the bracket is open. The bracket retains the collar in a circumferential tongue and groove relationship when the bracket is closed. When the bracket is properly positioned and secured within a rack bay, the bracket positions the connector plug for blind docking without restricting operative access to the connector plug. A preferred bracket is sufficiently flexible to allow lateral movement of the connector plug when the bracket is closed about the collar.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the domain specific normalization of a corpus of text. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for domain specific normalization of a corpus of text is provided, including an industrial, organization, demographic or geographic domain. The method includes loading a corpus of text in memory of a computer and determining a domain for the corpus of text. The method also includes retrieving a lexicon of replacement words for the determined domain. Finally, the method includes text simplifying the corpus of text using the retrieved lexicon. In one aspect of the embodiment, the domain is determined through inference based upon words already presence in the corpus of text. In another aspect of the embodiment, the domain is determined based upon meta-data provided with the corpus of text.

Appl. No.:

6/211815

Inventors:

John W. Weber - Norristown PA

International Classification:

D02G 318
D02G 344

US Classification:

428257

Abstract:

A heat resistant fabric is provided, preferably woven, and with an optional aluminized backing, the fabric being made from yarns having a core of flame and high heat resistant silica fibers covered by a layer of aramid fiber, or other heat resisting fibers, with or without blending with other fibers, the covering layer providing a cushion to increase abrasion resistance of the core while also providing a heat resistant covering for the core.

Appl. No.:

6/589889

Inventors:

John A. Weber - Philadelphia PA
Herbert O. Henze - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

Penn Fishing Tackle Mfg. Co. - Philadelphia PA

International Classification:

A01K 89015

US Classification:

242215

Abstract:

A drive mechanism for fishing reels is disclosed which includes a spool supported on bearings and a shaft, carried in spaced side plates of a reel frame. The reel includes a cam operated brake mechanism which includes a plurality of stops, with an axially slidable spool shaft. One of the bearings carries a shaft supporting a bearing and drive mechanism which includes a handle, positioning pin and gears slidably mounted on shafts, which upon selective manipulation will engage one of two sets of gears, thereby determining the drive ratio available to the handle for varying the speed of spool rotation as desired. The gear ratios are selected to provide that upon backward or counterclockwise handle rotation against the stops, the teeth of the gears of the lower ratio will always be angularly aligned with the internal teeth of the ring gear to provide for gear shifting.

John A. Weber - Rockledge PA

Assignee:

Penn Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Co. - Philadelphia PA

International Classification:

A01K 8900
F16H 308
F16D 1104

US Classification:

242 841R

Abstract:

A fishing reel having shiftable concentrically-mounted gears engageable with each other via respective gear core members, with one core member of one gear having at least one perpendicular projection which is receivable by at least one well disposed in the core member of the other gear to thereby accomplish engagement of the two gears.

Appl. No.:

6/525328

Inventors:

John W. Weber - Norristown PA

International Classification:

B32B 700

US Classification:

428257

Abstract:

A fire retardant which is suitable for use as a protective material in garments, clothing, fire curtains, barriers or screens is disclosed. The fabric employs an amorphous silica core having a minimum of 96% silica by chemical analysis. The core fiber is encapsulated in a wrapping or covering which may be of polybenzimidazole, aramids, blends of aramids with other fibers and/or polyacrylonitrile fibers or blends thereof. The core fiber and wrapping comprise a heat resistant yarn which may be woven into a heat resistant fabric which may then be aluminized on one or both sides thereof.

US Classification:

428252

Abstract:

A heat resistant fabric is provided, preferably woven, and with an optional aluminized backing, the fabric being made from yarns having a core of flame and high heat resistant non-melting heat stabilized polyacrylonitrile fibers covered by a layer of aramid fibers or other heat resisting fibers with or without blending with other fibers, the covering layer providing a cushion to provide increased abrasion resistance of the core while also providing a heat resistant covering for the core.

G06F 21/53

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes executing one or more tests on a computing device. The computing device has Instruction Execution Protection (IEP), and each test of the one or more tests includes selectively setting one or more IEP bits of one or more page tables, where each IEP bit prevents code in a respective storage block from being executed. During the one or more tests, an IEP exception is detected, by a computer processor, each time an attempt is made to execute code in a storage block for which a respective IEP bit is set. Test results of the one or more tests are determined based on the detecting. A remedial action is performed in response to the test results of the one or more tests.
