Title: Spinning and processing of carbon nanotube filaments, ribbons, and yarns
Inventor: LABOVSKY ALEX
IPC: D01F9/127
Filed: 2001-11-01
Granted: 2006-06-28
Abstract: Coagulation spinning produces structures such as fibers, ribbons, and yarns of carbon nanotubes. Stabilization, orientation, and shaping of spun materials are achieved by post-spinning processes. Advantages include the elimination of core-sheath effects due to carbonaceous contaminants, increasing mechanical properties, and eliminating dimensional instabilities in liquid electrolytes that previously prohibited the application of these spun materials in electrochemical devices. These advances enable the application of coagulation-spun carbon nanotube fibers, ribbons, and yarns in actuators, supercapacitors, and in devices for electrical energy harvesting.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to prevent the plate contacts of chip cards from wearing as a result of vibrations that occur during the operation of a vehicle. To achieve this, the spring contacts of the read/write set of contacts in a holding device for chipcards are separated from the plate contacts of a chip card that has been inserted into the holding device, for a period, during which no trip or driver-related data is transmitted and said contacts are closed for only a relatively short time, i.e. during the reading of the chip card data into the relevant data recording device and during the writing of recorded data to the chip card. The holding device is configured in such a way that the relevant chip card remains inaccessible when the contacts are separated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the strength of a signal (18) at the input of a tuner (1a.) In this, the frequency-dependent amplification characteristic for the tuner is measured and stored in a memory assigned to the tuner. With the help of this characteristic the frequency-dependent variation of the amplification can be compensated during tuner operation, in order that the input signal strength can be deduced more precisely. For a tuner with automatic gain control (AGC), the frequency dependence of the AGC can also be recorded and stored in the memory by representative characteristics. The consideration of the AGC characteristics results in a further improvement to the precision of estimation of the input signal strength.

Abstract: A method of batching multiple sets of responses on a server and sending the responses to a client in a single batch (i.e., a "chained" or "packed" batch). The sets of responses may be each be obfuscated and/or compressed. Once the batch is received by the client, each set is processed individually. The client may be configured to communicate the size of an uncompressed set of responses that it can handle. The server may use this information to create sets of responses that are the correct size, and may or may not compress the sets of responses. The server may chain the sets of responses and may continue to chain sets, compressed or not, until the server's buffer is full or close to full. The chained set of responses may then be sent to the client, and may process each of the sets of responses individually.
