Abstract: .sim. An office chair with a chair back is disclosed, the back including a mesh material connected to a two-piece carrier, the carrier being deformable and stretchable. The carrier has a bottom edge including a groove and is engageable by tabs attached to a transverse member of a chair frame assembly. The upper ends of the carrier each includes an opening for receiving a spherical end portion of the upper end of the chair frame assembly. Engagement of the carrier with the chair frame assembly is accomplished by stretching the carrier and mesh between the transverse member and the spherical end portions. The chair back includes a lumbar support which is mounted to slide along the side edges of the carrier and along vertical supports of the chair frame assembly, the lumbar support causing the back to tension forwardly. The chair back is pivotal under the in,fluence of a chair user and is pivotally connected to the chair seat so as to cause the chair seat to also pivot in response.

Abstract: Calculated gastric residual volumes used to monitor gastric emptying are limited by poor sensitivity and do not distinguish the components of the retained enteral formula from the large volume of naturally occurring endogenous secretions. The present invention relates to the methods of measuring the dietary formula concentration, gastric residual volume, and volume of gastric content in the stomach. In particular, the methods enable more accurate values to be calculated for the above mentioned parameters and can be clinically used to determine patient tolerance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a filtering medium comprising a mineral fibre felt which is linked to a web. The inventive method consists of the following steps: fibres are formed using an internal centrifuging device comprising a fibre-forming spinner; a precursor of a binder is sprayed onto the fibres; the fibres are positioned on the web; and, subsequently, the assembly comprising the fibres and the web having a controlled thickness is heat treated such as to transform the binder precursor into a binder. The filtering medium thus obtained can be used to produce particularly effective bag filters.

Abstract: Mechanisms for allowing allow multi-session capability and session-return enabling stateful web applications include providing a start URL of a requested portal page with an "External Session ID" (ESID). The ESID is an argument that is different between the two instances of the application (on the same page), and leads to different / independent sessions in the server. When a user returns to the same page, the ESIDs are passed again with the individual application requests, and the server can then logically reconnect to the proper session and allow the user to continue. The ESID can be used to return to an application after the user has previously left to go to another application and then desires to come back, or even when the user closed the browser and restarts the application later.

IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 2006-05-26
Granted: 2016-01-19
Abstract: A distributed DSLAM, which comprises a head end subsystem located within a switching facility and a remote subsystem located outside of the switching facility. The head end subsystem is operative for routing streams of data from a data network to the remote subsystem over a communication link, while the remote subsystem is operative for transmitting over a set of local loops analog signals comprising digitally modulated versions of the data. Separating the routing and modem functionality between inside and outside plant facilities reduces heat dissipation in the outside plant, leading to increased reliability. Flow control can be performed in the upstream and downstream directions by transmitting portions of individual packets and withholding other portions of individual packets. This is done instead of withholding the transmission of entire packets. As a result, the perceived impact on video quality, for example, is lessened.
