Abstract:
Polyester carpets of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) are disclosed which have excellent stain-resistance, texture retention and resistance to crushing. The bulked continuous filament yarn used to make the carpets and the process for making the yarns are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A system for prequalifying an information handling system which includes a configurator, an after point of sale prequalification module and a prequalification information store module. The configurator configures a system with options selected according to user input. The after point of sale prequalification module obtains prequalification information relating to whether an ordered information handling system corresponds to prequalification criteria. The prequalification information store module stores the prequalification information relating to the ordered information handling system.
Abstract:
A phased array antenna system operative to broadcast multiple beams that each include coded data for specific users located within the coverage area of the corresponding beam. An appropriate receiver then receives and decodes a particular beam to extract the specific data for a corresponding user. Multiple users may be assigned to each beam using frequency division or orthogonal code multiplexing, and the user data may be encoded into the beams using frequency shift key or phase shift key encoding. For each coding technique, the encoded antenna control signals are combined into a total gain and total phase shift control signal, which drives a single phase and gain control device for each antenna element. In addition, a single data modulator generates the coding parameters for the entire communication system.
Abstract:
A method for enabling remote restoration of a purchase verification. The method includes obtaining a value that uniquely identifies an information handling system, obtaining a promotion code value that identifies a benefit, linking the value that uniquely identifies the information handling system with the promotion code value for the information handling system, providing the promotion code value to the information handling system to re-enable the benefit, and during remote restoration, obtaining the promotion code value for the information handling system by providing the value that uniquely identifies the information handling system.
Abstract:
A discoidal brushless DC motor having a stator (507) carrying windings (503) arranged in slots which radiate out from the center of the stator to the periphery. The depth of each slot increases towards the center of the stator. The slot, therefore, is wider (from side to side) and shallower towards the periphery of the stator, and narrower (from side to side) and deeper towards the center of the stator. This arrangement ensures that the windings are contained below the surface (504) of the stator (507). The magnetic circuit includes a backing of a ferromagnetic material (509). This ferromagnetic material (509) can be a watch spring core made from a long strip of soft iron tape.
