Abstract: An improved composite structural member comprising a complex profile structural member, made of a composite comprising a polypropylene polymer and a wood fiber. The material is useful in conventional construction applications. The complex profile, in the form of an extruded thermoplastic composite member can be used in residential and commercial structures as described. Preferably, the structural member is used in the manufacture of the fenestration components such as windows and doors. Such linear members are designed with specifically configured cross sectional shapes to form structural elements in the fenestration units. Structural elements must possess sufficient strength, thermal stability and weatherability to permit the manufacture of a structurally sound window unit that can be easily installed into a rough opening but can maintain its attractive appearance and structural integrity over the life of the window unit often twenty years or more. The structural member comprises a hollow complex cross-section with at least one structural web or one fastener web formed within the component. The exterior of the extruded component has a visible capstock layer and is shaped and adapted for installation in rough openings. The exterior also contains shape and components capable of supporting the elements of the fenestration unit such as a window, sash or movable door unit. The improved polypropylene structural members have unique advantages and can be assembled in thermoplastic weld processes.

Granted: 2011-06-21
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés permettant de régénérer, à l'intention d'un utilisateur, un secret fort à partir de la saisie d'un secret faible, tel qu'un mot de passe, grâce à des échanges de communication avec un groupe de serveurs indépendants. Chaque serveur détient une valeur de secret distincte (par exemple, des données serveur secrètes). Le secret fort est une fonction du secret faible de l'utilisateur et des données serveur secrètes, et un agresseur potentiel ne peut calculer le secret fort sans accéder et au secret faible de l'utilisateur, et aux données serveur secrètes. L'agresseur éventuel n'a qu'une mince possibilité de deviner le secret faible, même s'il a accès à tous les messages transmis au cours des processus de génération et de régénération plus à un sous-groupe (mais pas à tous) des données serveur secrètes. .

Granted: 2006-01-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of analysing a specimen comprising a compound material by X-ray fluorescence analysis wherein a beam of polychromatic primary X-rays is generated in an X-ray tube by conversion of electric current into X-rays, and said beam is directed at the specimen, and wherein the element specific fluorescent X-rays are selectively detected using means for detection and an intensity of said fluorescent X-rays is determined. After the electric current is applied to the X-ray tube and the intensity of element specific fluorescent X-rays is determined, a second intensity of the element specific fluorescent X-rays is determined while applying an electric current with a different value than the previous electric current, and at least the relative abundance of the chemical element present in the compound material is then determined using the values of both intensities. The thickness of the first layer can be determined simultaneously.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une barre de purgeage conçue pour déloger les blocs de pierre en surplomb sur des parois rocheuses. Ladite barre de purgeage est formée d'un arbre tubulaire allongé et d'un premier élément piqueur fixé à l'une de ses extrémités et, optionnellement, d'un deuxième élément piqueur fixé à une deuxième extrémité. Au moins l'un des deux éléments piqueurs comprend un bout conçu pour se loger étroitement dans l'arbre tubulaire, une pointe définissant un bout d'attaque sensiblement aigu pour pénétrer plus facilement dans la structure rocheuse et, enfin, un élément de came. Ce dernier comprend un premier et un deuxième renflements servant de levier grâce auxquels on peut déloger les rochers instables en surplomb avec un minimum d'efforts, le deuxième renflement produisant un effet de levier plus prononcé que le premier sur la pointe, mais le premier, plus petit, permettant de s'attaquer à des fissures plus étroites. Concrètement, un travailleur insère axialement la barre de purgeage dans une fissure adjacente à un rocher instable  en surplomb et applique une force transversale en donnant à la barre un effet de levier au moyen du premier renflement, ce qui élargira la fissure. S'il y a lieu, on répétera l'opération à l'aide du deuxième renflement jusqu'à ce que le rocher se détache de son lit.
