A system and method that converts the digital typesetting documents used in publishing to a device-specific format for electronic publishing. A “smart file and device-specific application” approach maintains the “look and feel” (design) of the source document used for print publication while typesetting for a specific device. Although this approach requires considerably more resources to create a smart file for each device-specific format, the smart file retains the unique typesetting characteristics of the printed book, is more aesthetically pleasing, and is easier to read. Furthermore, the device-specific application can render the smart file more quickly thereby eliminating any latency.

Methods and apparatuses for modifying a Gerber-compliant data structure that is representative of an existing printed circuit board (PCB) layout are described. This may include obtaining a Gerber-compliant data structure which includes layout information describing the physical layout of a PCB, obtaining modification information representing a modification to the physical layout of the PCB, and automatically modifying the Gerber-compliant data structure to seamlessly incorporate the modification information to create a new electrical connectivity structure for the Gerber-compliant data structure.

The invention relates to a method and device (100 or 100′) for providing at least one fuel, in particular, for motor vehicle engines. The invention enables fuel to be produced, in particular, in the form of hydrogen, according to needs, and in a simple, economical, clean and safe manner and, furthermore, preferably on-board a means of transportation. According to the invention, at least one mixture consisting of water (H2) and ammonium nitrite (NH4NO2) and / or ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), which serve(s) as a reaction constituent, is introduced as a fuel or fuel mixture into at least one, in particular, second reaction space (40′). In addition, en air (Lu), oxygen (O2) and / or ozone (O3) are supplied to this mixture, which is located in the, in particular, second reaction space (40′) and rendered unstable due to charge transfer.

A shallow mounted fixed vehicle barrier device for prohibiting vehicular access to a facility or area. The shallow mounted fixed vehicle barrier device includes a barrier system having a passive position and a support system adapted to maintain the barrier system in the passive position. In the passive position, the barrier system prevents vehicles from passing by or through to the protected facility or area. The shallow mounted fixed vehicle barrier device always remains in the passive position and, therefore, never allows vehicles access to the secured facility or area, after installation. The barrier system includes a bollard and, optionally, a bollard sleeve. The support system includes a base frame attached to the bollard, such that the base frame is adapted to secure the bollard during vehicular attack. The shallow mounted fixed vehicle barrier device can be installed in a foundation having a depth of less than twelve inches.

An ignition switch device is provided with a switching device 2 having a key hole 2a, and capable of being rotationally operated in a predetermined direction with an ignition key K inserted to start and stop the engine of an industrial machine, a case 3 covering the switching device 2 and formed with an insertion hole 3b allowing the key hole 2a to face the outside, a shutter 4 rotatable between a closed position where the insertion hole 3b of the case 3 is closed, and an open position where the insertion hole 3b is opened to allow the key hole 2a to face outside, and a protruding portion 7 formed within the range of rotation of the shutter 4 while protruding from the surface 3a of the case 3 and whose protruding end contacts the rear surface 4b of the shutter 4 while the shutter 4 rotates.

Systems and methods for generating and physically rendering graphical memorabilia projects are described herein. Generally, the methods comprise providing and organizing photos, selecting a theme-based kit, selecting a dynamic page layout template, selecting a design and color palette, personalizing a memorabilia project comprising the template, and physically rendering the memorabilia project. The page layout template is pre-designed template and configured to be selectively rotated and / or swapped to provide a refreshing theme and / or look, and can be used to more effectively utilize the memorabilia available for mounting and / or storage. The ability to rotate and / or swap the templates enables a user to reuse pre-established templates to create new looks and presentations. In one aspect, the described system is a web-based service that does not require any software to be installed on the user's computer device other than a web browser.

This invention relates to a support or hanger utilizing a conical spring washer or set of conical spring washer displaying variable load characteristics. When installed, both types (support or hanger) allow for small movements in pipe, ductwork or equipment (PDE), thus, allowing for the thermal growth of PDE. Conventionally, helical coil spring supports are chosen to meet the load capacities of PDE but are reluctantly used because of their large size. By using conical spring washer s, the size of the support is substantially reduced making it a more useable device. A smaller, more compact design proves to increase the support / hanger's application making it more stable to place under piping and even under reciprocating motion equipment like generators and pumps. For small displacements, it is found that this invention behaves in the same manor as a conventional helical coil spring support under the same applied loads.
