Transaction-based enterprise application integration (EAI) and development system

An architecture for a computing environment wherein transactions preferably model the enterprise and its business processes directly, allowing third-party systems, like ERP, supply chain and Web portals, to be more loosely coupled. Because the system will often be distributed throughout the enterprise, reliance on central critical servers is reduced. The system of the present invention can also fill-in gaps in the functionality of legacy systems, as well as invoke complex applications and direct automated systems. The system offers an architecture where users can model their particular enterprises in business terms so that disparate applications can be linked without custom programming.

Siding panel tab and slot joint

A panel for polypropylene injection molded siding, and for similar materials and / or uses, is mounted in lapped courses with panels attached at butt joints in a direction of elongation. Complementary tabs and slots at the panel ends can be engaged by end-to-end approach of the abutting panels. Additionally, openings for the tabs permit engagement from a position in which the panel ends are already overlapped, which reduces or eliminates the need for endwise assembly space. The slots can be discontinuous on one or both sides, openings permitting lateral insertion of the tabs at gaps, whereupon movement of the tabs along the slots engages the joint. The panels can simulate wood siding and include a step between simulated courses. A gap is provided in the edge of the panel at the step, thus forming an opening for the tab to enter and move along the slot.

Cold atom system with atom chip wall

A compact vacuum chamber gives electric and optical access to a microchip, which is part of the chamber. The main use of the microchip is to confine, cool and manipulate cold atoms (atom chip). The main new feature is that the microchip forms one wall of a vacuum cell. This makes the chamber compact and lightweight, provides large optical access combined with small overall size, eliminates in-vacuum cabling, and makes the back surface of the chip accessible from the outside (e.g., for cooling and / or additional field-producing elements).

Vehicle safety seat

A vehicle safety seat (104, 202, 302, 502, 802) includes a seat bottom (120, 210, 310, 504, 810) that is movable substantially instantly from a substantially horizontal normal orientation for normal traveling to a deployed angled orientation contemporaneously with a vehicle crash. The deployed safety seat shifts a seat occupant (102) into a protective posture to reduce accelerations, loads and moments of force on various parts of the occupant's body. In preferred embodiments, the seat bottom is deployed into its angled orientation by lowering the rear (124, 312, 507, 812) of the seat bottom, causing the seat bottom to pivot about a front pivot (172, 220, 320, 518, 820) at the front of the seat bottom. Typically, a vehicle safety seat includes a backrest (130, 240, 360, 550, 840). In some embodiments, a backrest (130, 240, 360, 550) is movable downwards and / or rearwards simultaneously with movement of the seat bottom.

Method of maintaining traffic services through congestion caused by network failovers

In a method for controlling data traffic in a wireless or other communication network, one or more hardware / software agents are deployed to interface with one or more network entities such as routers, switches, backhaul transmission lines, and wireless base stations. The agents monitor the L1 (physical) and L2 (data link) layers of the network for the presence of indicators associated with network failover operations, such as DS1 alarms and protocol errors, respectively. Based on detected indicators across all monitored network entities, the agents determine if a failover operation has occurred. If so, data congestion associated with the failover operation is controlled according to a failover congestion monitoring and recovery mode (e.g., a data source backoff model), to reduce instances of dropped calls that would otherwise occur if the failover congestion were handled according to a general purpose congestion monitoring and recovery mode of the network.

Eccentric load sensing device used to sense differential pressures

A differential pressure sensor positioned adjacent a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber separated by a nozzle. Flow in a conduit is determined by detecting the pressure on either side of a nozzle. Changes in pressure are proportional to a change in flow. An integrated differential pressure sensor having different pressure detecting portions with strain gauges thereon detects differences in deflection of each pressure sensor portion resulting from change in fluid flow. A bridge circuit detects changes in the signals from the two different pressure sensor portions creating a differential which is proportional to a change in liquid flow. The present invention reduces the need for calibration of pressure sensors and improves the detection of fluid flow. The present invention has many applications and can detect small changes in fluid flow and is particularly applicable to the medical field where in many procedures, small fluid flows must be measured or determined accurately.
