Abstract:

A resource distribution network and method for distributing content in the network. The network comprises a plurality of servers arranged in tiers and partitioned. Each server includes a resource store with a set of resources for distribution a next successive tier. Updates to each successive tier are provided by a pull-forward client on servers in the tier. This forward propagation mechanism maximizes resource availability at edge servers in the network. Resources transmitted to the edge tier servers may be transformed, combined and rendered without taxing lower tier servers. Transformation and pre-rendering of data can be performed by low priority CPU tasks at each layer of the system.

Abstract:

A composite desiccant material is formed by a porous, absorbent substrate of PVA foam or non-woven fibrous sheet is soaked in a solution of a hygroscopic desiccant such as CaCl. The desiccant is held in pores or fibrous entraining areas sized ranging from 50 microns to 1000 microns. Thin sheets are arranged in a stack in a multi-chamber system, while in an absorption state, uses this stack in a main chamber to absorb H0 from atmospheric gas flowing through that chamber. In a regeneration state atmospheric flow is stopped and low-grade energy releases the H0 from the desiccant into that chamber. Fans circulate moist air through the main chamber and into an adjacent chamber for H0 transfer through or past a partially permeable barrier into a cooling/condensing area. Both H0 and dry gas may be produced.

International Classification:

US Classification:

707722

Abstract:

Embodiments are directed towards providing a device and method of identifying media items from a media library maintained by a media server that are similar to a designated media item. The media server stores a controlled vocabulary which is represented as a hierarchically linked set of nodes wherein a plurality of nodes correspond to concepts and a library of media items. Each media item corresponds to a record in the media library and the record includes at least one metadata field with assigned keywords. The media server receives a designation of a media item from a user computer, retrieves the keywords assigned to the media item, obtains all related concepts from the controlled vocabulary, computes a search weight for each related concept, and queries the media library to identify media items that match the designated media item and provides the results to the user computer.

International Classification:

B21D 31/00

Abstract:

A slope-matched stylus (SMS) tool for Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) of a sheet includes a shaft connected to a stylus body and to a multi-axis drive mechanism. The stylus body has a conical or generally frustoconical form which includes a tool surface defining one or more corresponding tool wall angles. The tool wall angle range matches one or more part wall angles of a part formed via the ISF process, such that a flat line of contact exists between the stylus body and sheet. The tool and part wall angles are complementary. A system includes the tool and drive mechanism. A method includes securing the sheet to a fixture, connecting the tool to the drive mechanism, and progressively pressing a tool surface of the stylus body into or against the sheet using the drive mechanism, controlling the latter to ensure a flat line of contact is provided between the stylus body and sheet.

Abstract:

Convertible armrests and seat assemblies that utilize convertible armrests. In one embodiment, a convertible armrest includes an armrest body connected to a seat frame between adjacent seats, a first arm pad coupled to the armrest body, and a second arm pad coupled to the armrest body. In a contracted configuration, the first arm pad and the second arm pad are stacked. In an expanded configuration, the first arm pad and the second arm pad are disposed side-by-side.

Abstract:

Various embodiments of a system and method for tracking service requests are described. Embodiments may include call tree generation logic configured to receive multiple request identifiers associated with a respective one of multiple service requests. Each given request identifier may include an origin identifier, a depth value, and a request stack comprising one or more interaction identifiers. The call tree generation logic may also be configured to, based on multiple request identifiers that each include an origin identifier associated with a particular root request, generating a data structure that specifies a hierarchy of services called to fulfill that particular root request. Based on one or more of the interaction identifiers and one or more of the depth values, the generated data structure may specify for each given service of the hierarchy: a parent service that called the given service, and one or more child services called by the given service.

Abstract:

Embodiments are directed towards providing a device and method of identifying media items from a media library maintained by a media server that are similar to a designated media item. The media server stores an ontology, which is represented as a hierarchically linked set of nodes wherein a node is either a concept or a placeholder, and a library of media items. Each media item corresponds to a record in the media library and the record includes at least one metadata field with assigned keywords. The media server receives a designation of a media item from a user computer, retrieves the corresponding keywords, obtains all related concepts from the ontology, computes node weights for the related concepts, queries the media library using the node weights, to identify similar media items and provides the results to the user computer.
