Abstract: An apparatus for on-site manufacturing of lightweight concrete used for insulation in roof decks and roof systems of building structures. The apparatus is supported on a transportable trailer frame and includes a mixer, a concrete pump, and one or more tanks for holding a mixture of water and chemical products, such as foaming agents. The chemical agents/water solution is mixed with pressurized air according to a desired foam density and volume and is pumped through a foam cylinder ejector. The air/solution mixture exiting the ejector is directed into a carburetor which generates a foam product by mechanical impact of the air/ solution mixture with beads contained in the carburetor. Concrete and the foam product are combined in the mixer, in accordance with a predetermined mixture ratio, and released into the concrete pump for forced discharge from the apparatus and application to a roof structure. A programmable logic controller controls the discharge rate and the amount of cement and foam product needed per batch according to the desired mixture ratio.

Abstract: A load control system provides for automatically controlling a position of a motorized window treatment to control the amount of sunlight entering a space of a building through a window located in a facade of the building in order to control a sunlight penetration distance within the space and minimize occupant distractions. The load control system automatically generates a timeclock schedule having a number of timeclock events for controlling the position of the motorized window treatment during the present day. A user is able to select a desired maximum sunlight penetration distance for the space and a minimum time period that may occur between any two consecutive timeclock events. In addition, a maximum number of movements that may occur during the timeclock schedule may also be entered. The load control system uses these inputs to determine event times and corresponding positions of the motorized window treatment for each timeclock event of the timeclock schedule.

Abstract: Techniques for handling inconsistent control information in a wireless communication system are described. In an aspect, inconsistent control information is handled in different manners for the downlink and uplink. In one design, a user equipment (UE) receives a first grant with first control information for a first data transmission and also receives a second grant with second control information for a second data transmission. The UE determines that the second control information is inconsistent with the first control information, e.g., due to the two grants conveying different transport block sizes. The UE  determines whether to retain or discard the second grant based on whether the two grants are for data transmissions on the downlink or uplink. In one design, the UE retains the second grant if the two grants are for data transmissions on the downlink and discards the second grant if the two grants are for data transmissions on the uplink.

Abstract: A method of blasting rock at an underground blast site in which boreholes are drilled in a rock mass from a drive defining face, each borehole is loaded with at least one charge of explosive material, at least one detonator is placed in operative association with each charge, and a sequence of at least two initiation events is conducted to blast the rock mass, in each of which only some of the charges are initiated, by sending firing signals to only the detonators associated with said charges and in which each initiation event is a discrete user-controlled initiation event. In one of the at least two initiation events a stranded portion of the rock mass such as a pillar is created that has already been drilled and charged, and the stranded portion of the rock mass is blasted in a subsequent one or more of the at least two initiation events without personnel accessing said stranded portion. First explosive charges may be blasted in the one initiation event, leaving a pillar of stranded ore with the preloaded borehole extending through it. The detonators may be wireless.

Abstract: The ice making device with tank is arranged on the upper left portion of the door fz, and it has a water tank that can be manually removed and filled with water outside the refrigerator. When mounted, this tank has a system for opening the valve that allows dispensing water into the ice making tray located at the centre of the ice making device; the ice making tray can store 280 g of water and can make 12 ice cubes at a time. The tank also has a fastener and guiding system to keep the tank in position. The ice making tray is arranged inside the main structure and is rotated 150 degrees and an extra 30 degrees of torsion so that the ice cubes formed in the tray can to be removed. The ice making tray is rotated by a pair of gears which are mounted on The main structure, one of them holds the ice making tray in position and transmits the rotation to the tray; this gear has a preload spring which gives return force to the whole system. The other gear is part of the lever giving torsion to the tray and is operated by the user. When rotating the tray, the ice cubes fall directly into the moving ice bucket; this bucket can store about 1 kg of ice cubes and can be removed from the system to serve ice somewhere else. The ice making device with tank has a front cover that, apart from a question of style, can be opened to help maintain the tray in case of obstruction or for cleaning purposes.
