Abstract:
A method of measuring the power of a signal from a transmitter (10) causing interference with a receiver (16) involves geolocating the transmitter (10) via satellites (24) and (28) or aircraft A1and A2. The receiver (16) is part of a satellite-implemented Global Navigation Satellite System. Geolocation involves finding a correlation peak between replicas of the transmitter's signal to determine their differential time and frequency offsets, from which a transmitter's location is calculated. The transmitter's signal power P1 is a solution to a quadratic equation with coefficients involving the transmitter's distances D1 and D2 from the satellites (24) and (28), its transmit wavelength λ, total noise temperature TN of each satellite's receiver system and antenna, correlation peak signal to noise ratio SNRc satellites' receive antenna gain Gs sample bandwidth B at outputs of the satellite receivers' ADCs and correlation integration time T. The method can be used with multiple transmitters, for each of which a correlation peak is observed and power measured.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method for setting an occupant classification system threshold for a vehicle occupant detection system, the method comprising collecting occupant classification system data for a seat, the data being indicative of occupant weight, analyzing the data to determine where a separation exists between an occupant for which a restraint should be suppressed and an occupant for which the restraint should be deployed, and analyzing the data to determine a worst case child suppression weight and shape, which is based at least on where the separation exists. The worst case child suppression weight and shape define the occupant classification system threshold.
Abstract:
A sports board that includes an elongate, water impervious, thermoplastic foam core having an upper surface and an under surface; an upper layer covering at least a portion of the upper surface; and an under layer covering at least a portion of the under surface. The foam core is made of a foamed material having a water absorption (measured according to ASTM C-272) of less than 2 volume percent.

Abstract:
A delivery device includes first and second housing portions that selectively engage and disengage. A reservoir on one housing portion operatively engages a drive device and/or a needle inserting device on the other housing portion. Upon proper engagement of the housing portions, the reservoir operatively couples to the drive device and/or the needle inserting device. A first magnet on the first housing portion and a second magnet (or a magnetically-attractive material) on the second housing portion are positioned to magnetically interact with each other, upon operative engagement of the housing portions. A third magnet on the second housing portion may be opposed to the first magnet to help align the housing portions for connection. A magnet-responsive device may be on one or both housing portions to detect alignment and/or connection of the housing portions.

Abstract:
A digital video editing and playback system and methods of editing and playing back digital video are provided. The system includes a video processor adapted to receive video segments from multiple sources. The video segments include synchronization information. The video processor includes software instructions adapted to be executed by the video processor. The software instructions are adapted to evaluate the synchronization information from various video segments and to form associations between video segments from different sources that correspond to a common event.
Abstract:
A roofing membrane temperature indicator is provided for preventing the installation of a roofing membrane or roofing membranes at a temperature below a minimum recommended installation temperature for the roofing membrane(s) and/or a minimum recommended installation temperature for the roofing membrane(s) for a particular installation procedure. The membrane temperature indicator is visibly associated with the roofing membrane(s) and includes a thermochromic indicator having a first color at temperatures below a designated temperature and a second color visibly different from the first color at and above the designated temperature. The designated temperature at which the color of the membrane indicator changes is at or above a minimum recommended installation temperature for the roofing membrane(s) and/or a minimum recommended installation temperature for the roofing membrane(s) for a particular installation procedure.
Abstract:
A prefabricated cover board has a high-density polymer or predominantly polymer material core layer having a density between 6 lbs/ft3 and 25 lbs/ft3. A prefabricated roofing panel composite includes the cover board and an insulation board that has a low-density polymer or predominantly polymer material foam core layer having a density less than 6 lbs/ft3. The cover board may have a waterproofing membrane forming the top major surface of the cover board. When making the roofing panel composite, the low-density foam core layer of the insulation board may be formed with the high-density core layer of the cover board being currently or subsequently formed over and bonded to a top major surface of the low-density foam core layer in the same operation or preformed insulation boards may be fed into a production line with the high-density core layer of the cover board being formed over and bonded to top major surfaces of the low-density foam core layers of the insulation boards.
