Systems and methods for coupling a topside to a fixed or floating substructure during float-over installation of the topside are disclosed. A physical processor is shared among the logical partitions. Results indicate that filled compositions produced by this process contain exfoliated clay.

Modified polytetrafluoroethylene powder of a sinterable copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene containing about 0. The receiver circuit can be implemented using a simple tunnel diode or using an op-amp to provide dynamic characteristics. The solid block of solder and the layer of solder paste are concurrently reflowed to form a solder joint. A shaft is mounted to the link for rotation therewith. The external cross section of the insert is adapted to fit snuggly inside the first piece of hollow tube and said second piece of hollow tube and the insert is adapted to minimize the peak stress transfer loading between the insert and the first and second piece of hollow tube. When the determination is affirmative, the request is allowed to pass through the intermediary security device and to be delivered to the server.

A method of ringcasting with improved reliability, in which a participant who is the source of content saves the signal in which the content is found, and compares received signals with the signal in which the content is found to ensure that the content has made it completely around the ring. The method provides a mechanism by which a host channel adapter, in response to receiving a marker message, places selected channel of the host channel adapter in a remote access redirect mode of operation. The discovered IP addresses for each device is thus constantly updated, allowing group members to remain in constant contact.

Embodiments of an arm-worn rangefinder device includes a rangefinder body and a switch. A display module that connects to the bi-stable liquid crystal display, connects to the communications cable with one or more pins, and receives the signal associated with one or more messages about the communications cable. A hash table is generated for each fingerprint segment, and an identifier for each candidate image is stored in each hash table based on the candidate image fingerprint value for the fingerprint segment associated with the hash table. All the sensors are interlinked by means of microprocessors which compare and correlate said data to automatically verify and deliver a desired wellbore diameter without the need to unnecessarily stop drilling or trip out of the hole. In order to optimise the synchronisation of the mobile terminal with the plurality of base stations, the method comprises a step of transmission of an item of information representative of a first temporal offset intended for the mobile terminal, the first offset being according to at least one reception time of the first signal by at least one base station. The invention is useful as identifying markers on articles.

An electron gun comprises an electron emitter, an electrode surrounding the electron emitter, an extraction electrode, and a double condenser lens assembly, the double condenser lens assembly comprising a magnetic immersion pre-condenser lens and a condenser lens. Tunable ferro-electric capacitors are used to tune the resonant frequencies of several resonators used in a multiplexer and to tune the frequency response shape of the multiplexer. The CPRU provides the voice access unit over-the-air, i. In another embodiment, the groups of display elements are configured to have different actuation voltages and are driven by pulses of varying voltage indicative of those actuation voltages.

An ambient condition detector can provide verbal feedback to a user or consumer indicative of an alarm condition being sensed beyond the existence of a predetermined alarm condition andor location. The present invention also includes a method of smoking the substance to be smoked using this device. The second portion is movably coupled to the first portion by a cable that facilitates the relative movement of the first portion and the second portion.

An aquarium to be housed within a vertical wall as a window having a dual support mounting frame with transparent viewing panels held in sealing relation there against. The feature data compression device comprises a mirror unit and a transposition unit. The mat is hot pressed with steam injection to effect curing of the resin. Each cambered wall and the magnetic member contact the circular margin of the hub for positioning the drain pan onto the circular margin by magnetic force.

A spout for use with a container for dispensing a substance from the container such that any remaining substance exterior to the container adjacent the spout may be allowed to drain back into the container. An arbor of the movable component includes a main protruding portion which forms the largest radius of the movable component about this axis. The locking tabslots facilitate assembly with a locking tab cartoner. Opposite sides of the frame respectively define two through holes therein. Sealing gap is closed by a thixotropic medium in the region of groove bounding the spiral stage. In another aspect of the present invention, the shared memory is partitioned for use from among a plurality of groups of agents, each agent group comprising one or more agents.

According to one embodiment, a method for role determination includes detecting access to sensitive data and determining user information related to the access to sensitive data in response to detecting the access to sensitive data. A tray-tag of the present invention includes a face plate having front and back surfaces. The antenna assembly can also include a first connection point coupled to the opposite end of the first arm from the RF connection feed point, the first connection point being selectively coupled to an impedance. The registration posture guide includes a catalogue for each registration hand posture, where the catalogue includes a contact silhouette showing a model touch-contact interface between the display surface and that registration hand posture. The right edge of the third panel is secured to the right edge of the first panel and the left edge of the third panel is secured to the left edge of the first panel. The VCSEL comprises a substrate, a first distributed Bragg reflector, an active region, a second DBR having a non-conductive ion implantation region and a laser barrel region with a first diameter, the heavily doped semiconductor layer, and a conductive electrical contact.

A method by which a DTV receiver that receives a terrestrial broadcast DTV signal may automatically determine the local time for the local terrestrial broadcast region, as well as DTV receivers that implements such a method, is described. The controller is configured to detect a pointer ID corresponding to a selected key of a first index node, translate the detected pointer ID to an index address by using a pointer table, and access a second index node corresponding to the selected key by using the index address. The upper dome includes an upper brow portion having a first maximum width and that has a concave recess defined therein. A microprocessor receives the output signal or output signals from the light sensor or light sensors and determines whether precipitation is present between the light sensor or light sensors and the light source or light sources.
