Abstract:
A table or desk unit includes a worksurface and leg structure, and a wire management arrangement located below the worksurface. The wire management arrangement includes upper and lower wire management members that support wires or cables for providing power and/or communication capability to items or equipment on the worksurface, and front and rear access covers which are movable between open and closed positions for providing access to the upper and lower wire management members. The rear access cover is configured to provide access to the lower wire management member, and engages the upper wire management member when in the closed position. A portion of the upper wire management member above the rear access cover is exposed, to mount power outlets that can be accessed from the rear of the worksurface. The front access cover is engaged with the worksurface when in the closed position, and is configured to provide access to both the upper and lower wire management members when in the open position. A wire cover member is releasably engageable with the leg structure, and includes an internal passage that receives wires or cables. The wire cover member includes a lower end received within an upwardly facing recess formed in a foot member forming a part of the leg structure, and an upper end that extends into an opening in one of the wire management members for supplying power or communication wiring thereto. An adjustable height support assembly is engaged with the foot member, for adjusting the worksurface height. The support assembly includes an upper adjustment member threadedly engaged within a receiver associated with the foot member, and a lower adjustment member threadedly engaged with the upper adjustment member. The upper and lower adjustment members include engagement structure which locks the upper and lower adjustment members together When the lower adjustment member is extended to a predetermined position. Subsequent rotation of the lower adjustment member rotates the upper and lower adjustment members together, to provide a telescoping construction for adjusting the height of the worksurface.
Abstract:
A coated transfer sheet comprising a substrate having a first and second surface; at least one thermosetting and/or UV curable polymeric barrier layer overlaying said first surface, at least one release layer overlaying said at least one barrier layer; and an optional image receiving layer; wherein the coated transfer sheet exhibits cold peel, hot peel, or warm peel properties when transferred. The sheet may be imaged in electrostatic printers and copiers or imaged with other image marking techniques such as Ink Jet, conventional printing inks, thermal wax, and all craft-type markers. The resulting image may be imagewise applied to a receptor.
Abstract:
A keg adapter to alleviate keg valve coupler system incompatibility. The keg adapter has a first end and a second end, the first end being compatible with at least one tap head coupler and having a diameter greater than the second end and the second and being compatible with at least one keg valve system. The keg adapter may be compatible with any combination of tap head coupler and keg valve system. A method of installing the keg adapter onto a keg for dispensing beer is disclosed. Also a method of using a keg adapter to dispense beer from a keg.
Abstract:
A cathode of a magnetron having a radial extension to accommodate the cathode terminals is supported by arms which have a greater diameter over the region in which they are supported in the glass thimble than over the region of the free ends. This shifts any vibrations to a higher frequency band, which is less liable to be excited in the event the magnetron is moved rapidly as in a linac used for radiotherapy purposes.
Abstract:
A method for monitoring an operation of a plurality of devices is provided. The method includes receiving, from each of the plurality of devices, a signal representative of a parameter indicative of a current condition of a respective device, comparing each of the parameters to a computational model, determining, for each of a plurality of time periods, a probability each of the plurality of devices may fail based on the comparing, and scheduling maintenance if a quantity of the plurality of devices likely to fail in one of the plurality of time periods exceeds a quantity threshold level.
Abstract:
This invention allows users to set different alarm conditions and data storage criteria for multiple data points based on the operating modes (states) of their machinery. The users will also be able to selectively view the collected data based on the machinery states.
Abstract:
Provided is an image transfer material, comprising an optional support material, and a non-woven or woven fiber web layer, wherein the fiber web is impregnated or coated with a image receiving formulation. The fiber web layer is optionally attached to the support with an adhesion layer. Also provided is a heat transfer process wherein after imaging, the fiber web and adhesion layer are peeled from the optional support material and placed, preferably image side up (when imaged), on top of a receptor element. Alternatively, the fiber web and adhesion layer are peeled and then optionally imaged prior to being placed on the receptor element. Then, an optional non-stick sheet is placed over the imaged fiber web (if placed imaged side up) and heat is applied to the fiber web or the non-stick sheet, if present. The adhesion layer then melts and adheres the imaged web layer to the receptor element.
Abstract:
Multivariate analysis can be performed to determine whether a computing environment is encountering a business disruption (e.g., relatively long end-user response times) or other problem. Cluster analysis (comparing more recent data with a particular cluster of good operating data), predictive modeling, or other suitable multivariate analysis can be used. A probable cause analysis may be performed in conjunction with the multivariate analysis. A probable cause analysis may be used when one or more abnormal instruments, abnormal components, abnormal load patterns, suspicious actions (such as resource provisioning or deprovisioning activities), software or hardware updates or failures, recent changes to the computing environment (component provisioning, change of a control, etc.), or any combination thereof. The probable cause analysis can include ranking potential causes based on likelihood, and such ranking can include statistical analysis, policy violations, recent changes to the computing environment, or any combination thereof.
Abstract:
An article of seating furniture includes a base, a seat and a back. The back includes a reclining mechanism. The seat is interconnected with the reclining mechanism such that reclining movement of the back moves the seat forwardly and upwardly. When the back is fully reclined and the seat is fully raised, an upper surface of the seat is coplanar with an upper surface of the back. A footrest is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. When extended, the footrest is generally coplanar with the seat. The back includes a spine having a lower end pivotably interconnected with the base. The spine includes a seat mounting extension to which the seat is pivotably mounted. Mounting links between the seat and the base provide movement of the seat when the back is reclined. The base is pivotably mounted to a frame for movement between a horizontal orientation and a Trendelenburg orientation in which the back is lowered relative to the seat, and a latch between the frame and the base maintains the base in the desired orientation.
