A recharging dehydrating breather for providing dehydrated air to electrical components includes a desiccant chamber configured to hold desiccant and a heating element configured to heat the desiccant held in the desiccant chamber to at least partially eliminate water. The device further includes a housing configured to hold the desiccant chamber and the heating element, an outlet configured to provide an outlet to guide the water away from the housing, and the outlet configured to be heated by the heating element. A process of configuring a recharging dehydrating breather for providing dehydrated air to electrical components is also disclosed.
摘要:
A system for interfacing predetermined services to a user at a fixed location includes a processing platform running an operating system. Also included are a plurality of physical system resource interfaces for interfacing with available physical system resources. The physical system resources allow a user to gain access to the predetermined desired services. The system further includes a data store for storing configuration information for enabling the operating system to interface with the available physical system resources through the physical system resource interface associated therewith. A communication resource for interfacing with the operating system allows communication of the operating system with a central office for downloading configuration information to selectively enable ones of the available physical system resources to interface with the operating system through associated ones of the physical system resource interfaces in accordance with the configuration information and the predetermined service selected by a user. A plurality of configurations are stored in the data store, and each is associated with a predetermined service and one or more of the available physical system resources. Each physical system resource interface is uniquely associated with a defined one of the physical system resources.

A system for providing access to a plurality of services from third party service providers to users at remote locations includes a plurality of resource managers having associated physical system resources for enabling a user to access a user selected service each resource manager including a processing platform with an operating system running thereon, a data store, including configuration information for each of the services available to a user through the resource manager, wherein there are multiple configurations associated with different ones of the predetermined services and one or more of the available physical system resources, and central processing center that communicates with each of the plurality of resource managers to enable or disable selected ones of the services on given ones of the resource managers based upon predetermined criteria and operates in conjunction with the resource managers to execute predetermined sequences of actions for accessing user selected ones of the services from the service providers providing such services.
摘要:
A distributed transaction system for enabling users to conduct transactions using services from third party service providers includes a central processing center with one or more communications interfaces to facilitate transactions initiated by users at a plurality of kiosks wherein each of the kiosks includes a user interface enabling a user to access a user selected service and a data store for storing configurations associated with services provided by the third party service providers, whereby a user interfaces with one or more of physical system resources of the kiosk to open a user identity session such that the kiosk is operative to facilitate at least one first user action with the physical resources to initiate a financial transaction and the central processing center is operative to execute at least a second action to facilitate the transaction and to communicate with a financial institution.
摘要:
A user device for interfacing predetermined external services provided by third party service providers to a user at a fixed location includes a processing platform running an operating system, a plurality of physical system resources associated with the remotely configurable user device, physical system resource interfaces for interfacing the operating system with the available physical system resources, a data store for storing ones of multiple configuration information associated with and identifying the external services that are available to a user with the user device and one or more of the available physical system resources required for ones of the external services and a communication resource for interfacing with the operating system to allow communication of the operating system with a central office for downloading of configuration information to remotely enable a selected one or ones of the predetermined external services provided by third party service providers.

摘要:
A crank assembly for use on a human powered machine, the crank assembly having one or more cranks that can be connected to opposing ends of an axle of the machine. The crank assembly further has a chain ring having teeth for engagement with a drive element, the chain ring being capable of being supported on the axle such that the chain ring can rotate relative to the axle; and a set of two or more leaf springs, each spring has a root that can be rotationally fixed relative to the axle and a tip that bears against the chain ring to impart force to the chain ring. Each spring tapers from the root to the tip in a plane of the chain ring.

A biodegradable material, capable of carrying a bioactive agent, comprising a polymer matrix and an enzyme capable of degrading the polymer matrix to enable the release of the bioactive agent.
摘要:
A mixer for particulate solid material including a hollow casing of polygonal e.g. square or triangular cross-section, the casing having two or more materials fed to it and having disposed therein at least one set of partitions which divide the casing up into a plurality of channels also of polygonal cross-section, the shape of the channels generally being the same as the shape of the casing, some, but not all, of the channels, having a redistributor therein which will allow the material flowing therethrough to be redistributed across the cross-section of that channel. The redistributor disclosed is a generally helical element which is shaped so as to fill the polygonal section of the channel into which it is fitted.
