Assignee:

BASF SE - Ludwigshafen

International Classification:

B05D 5/00

US Classification:

4274192

Abstract:

A method is provided for preparing on the surface of a substrate a superhydrophilic layer containing at least one metal oxide which method comprises calcining at elevated temperatures a cross-linked precursor film in which film the metal oxide is evenly distributed and immobilized. The precursor film is prepared by sequentially applying to the surface of the substrate a polyamine or other cationic polymer, a suspension of metal oxide and then a suitable cross linking agent. The superhydrophilic layer can be applied as a coating to a variety of substrates including metal, glass and ceramic and provides excellent dirt resistance, scratch resistance and antifogging effect. Multi-layer systems are also available using the inventive process.

Assignee:

Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. - Waltham MA

International Classification:

H01Q 1/36

US Classification:

343899

Abstract:

Aspect of the present disclosure are directed to methods and apparatus producing enhanced radiation characteristics, e.g., wideband behavior, in or for antennas and related components by providing concentric sleeves, with air or dielectric material as a spacer, where the sleeves include one or more conductive layers, at least a portion of which includes fractal resonators closely spaced, in terms of wavelength. A further aspect of the present disclosure is directed to surfaces that include dual-use or multiple-use apertures. Such aperture engine surfaces can include a top (or first) layer of antenna arrays, a middle (or second) layer of a metal-fractal backplane player, and a third (or bottom) layer for solar cell or solar oriented power collection.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

700 92, 709206

Abstract:

The methods and systems described herein provide for effective and efficient completion of tasks by users of a computing device. Specifically, the present invention provides users with a proprietary workflow for timing the completion of a task by a user and scoring a user's ability to complete a task within a predetermined length of time. One exemplary embodiment provides for managing electronic messages by scoring their ability to apply actions to messages. Incentives are provided to users to encourage users to apply actions to messages through positive and negative feedback. Scores determined for any particular user may be determined based on the elapsed time between being provided with a message and applying an action to it, or may be determined based on the contents of a message.

Appl. No.:

8/610090

Inventors:

Michael E. Chin - Cranford NJ
Ann Greene - Cranford NJ
Thomas Russello - Howell NJ

Assignee:

The Genlyte Group Incorporated - Seacucus NJ

International Classification:

F21V 1700

US Classification:

362448

Abstract:

A lighting fixture with a socket base having a closed and cool running back which reduces the amount of heat transferred to the area behind the lamp socket base and allows lower temperature rated wires to be used in the installation of the lamp socket base. The lamp socket base has raised lugs on which the lamp socket rests. A gasket is placed around or between the lamp socket and the lamp socket base and another gasket is placed between the lamp socket base and the wall or ceiling box. The lamp socket base is constructed as one piece such as from a casting. All of these features help to reduce the amount of heat transferred from the lamp socket to the other side of the lamp socket base and also to the wires in the area behind the lamp socket base.

H04L 12/58

Abstract:

Systems and methods for presenting calendar information in electronic messages can include a data processing system receiving a request for calendar information for display in an electronic message responsive to the client device accessing the electronic message. The data processing system can identify, using information in the request, the calendar information of the sender of the electronic message and calendar information of the recipient of the electronic message. The data processing system can retrieve the calendar information of the sender of the electronic message and the calendar information of the recipient of the electronic message. The data processing system can automatically generate an image depicting the calendar information of the sender of the electronic message and the calendar information of the recipient of the electronic message, and send instructions to the client device to cause display of the image within the electronic message accessed by the client device.
