Abstract: A heatable article, e.g. a heatable windshield, having a generally trapezoidal shape has a conductive member, e.g. a conductive coating, between and in contact with a pair of spaced bus bars having different lengths. Selected portions of the coating between the bus bars are segmented to reduce the difference in watt density between the coatings at the bus bars when current moves through the coating. In one non-limiting embodiment, the width of the segments at the longer bus bar is less than the width of the segments at the longer bus bar. With this configuration, the watt density at the bottom of the windshield is increased to more efficiently remove ice and snow. In another non-limiting embodiment, the coating has a communication window to pass frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, e.g. RF frequencies, to obtain information from within the vehicle. The coating surrounding the conductive window has break lines to segment the coating to eliminate hot spot around the periphery of the communication window.

Abstract: A physical random number generator has a bi-stable latch that operates to latch a random number bit in response to a reception of a voltage oscillating signal. When a switching device is in a first operating state, the bi-stable latch is deactivated and an oscillator is activated to generate one or more unpredictable voltage oscillation signals, which may provoke the bi-stable latch into a metastable state upon an activation of the bi-stable latch. When the switching device is in a second operating state, the oscillator is deactivated and the bi-stable latch is activated to latch a random number bit as a function of the unpredictable voltage oscillation signals, the randomness of the random number bit being enhanced by any provoking of the bi-stable latch into the metastable state by the voltage oscillating signal(s).

Abstract: A powder mixture consisting of zinc/titanium mixed oxide particles, titanium dioxide particles and zinc oxide particles, wherein the zinc/titanium mixed oxide particles have a composition according to the formula (ZnO)<SUB>1-x</SUB>(TiO<SUB>2</SUB>)<SUB>x</SUB>, where 0.01<x<0.99, and are obtained from a thermal process and the powder mixture exhibits remission which, in the UV range from 320 to 400 nm, is lower than that of titanium dioxide and, in the UV range below 320 nm, is lower than that of zinc oxide. The powder mixture may be produced by introducing into a flame, as is used for the production of pyrogenic metal oxides by means of flame hydrolysis, an aerosol of a zinc compound, homogeneously mixing said aerosol with the flame hydrolysis gas mixture, allowing the aerosol/gas mixture to react in a flame, separating the solid reaction products from the stream of gas and then performing thermal treatment. The powder mixture may also be produced by dispersing titanium dioxide powder in the presence of a solution of a zinc compound, wherein the ratio of titanium dioxide and zinc salt corresponds to the subsequently desired ratio of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in the final product, then removing the solvent by evaporation and thermally treating the residue. The powder mixture may be used in sunscreen preparations.

Abstract: A transmitter directed, distributed receiver using multi-user diversity provided by the distribution of the receiver. Advantage is taken of the uncorrelated variations over time in the condition of communication links between a common transmitter and several users. The greater the variation in the quality of a particular link over time, the greater the increase in total system throughput provided. An scheduler metric (or scheduler metric) represents the instantaneous quality of the communication link between each user and the transmitter with respect to the average quality of the link. Alternatively, the scheduler metric represents the instantaneous channel condition with respect to the average data throughput over that channel. The common transmitting station uses the scheduler metric to directly compare the desirability of granting each channel access with the desirability of granting each other channel access. The users with links that have the greatest scheduler metric are provided access to the channels.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for sorting a plurality of green wood veneer sheets into a plurality of subsets of sheets, the subsets including a "driest" subset, a "wettest" subset, and one or more "intermediate" subsets. The system has a light source for transmitting light through a sheet of veneer as it passes along a conveyor system, and a light sensor for sensing the light passing through the sheet. The pattern of light is recorded by an image acquisition and processing subsystem as an image, which is fed to an image analysis subsystem programmed to analyse the light pattern and to produce a mathematical representation of the image. An integrated moisture content value (IMCV) is set for the particular veneer sheet. Based on this value, a controller sends signals to the conveyor system to convey the particular sheet to a location storing sheets having similar IMCV values for drying.
