Abstract: The invention relates to a side flashing member (100) for use with a roof penetrating structure installed in an inclined roof at surface, said flashing member having a substantially U-shaped cross section. The side flashing member comprises a receiving section (110) and a draining section (130), the draining section being inclined at substantially the same angle of slope as the roof and , in the mounted state, being positioned below said receiving section seen in the direction of slope and higher than at least a part of the receiving section seen perpendicular to the roof surface. The invention further relates to a flashing assembly comprising such a side flashing member and to a method of making such a side flashing member, preferably from a single piece of material, where angles between sections are formed by folding the material twice giving it the shape of a Z and subsequently securing at least one part (141, 142, 153) of the Z-shaped fold while pulling on at least one other part (143, 151, 152) to at least partly unfold the Z.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving a differential space-time
block code (STBC) by estimating only channel power in a wireless
communication system using a plurality of transmission antennas. A receiver for
receiving information symbols encoded by a differential STBC before and
decoding the received information symbols collects a signal received at a
reception antenna from a plurality of transmission antennas for one block
duration; calculates a substitution signal by multiplying the received signal by a
signal received for a previous block duration; estimates channel power for a
channel from the plurality of transmission antennas to the reception antenna;
normalizes the estimated channel power with a normalization value determined
as a size of previously received symbols; and calculates information symbols by
dividing the substitution signal by the normalized channel power.

Abstract: An electronic control unit (ECU) (5) of a fuel injection
system of an internal combustion engine stores correspondences
defining each correspondence between an operating state and a
correction value for each progression level of a change in the
engine with time in advance. The ECU (5) determines which
progression level includes a present state of the change in
the engine with time and selects the correspondence based on a
result of the determination. Thus, even if a change in an
error with time, which should be corrected, does not have an
identical tendency corresponding to the operating state, the
error can be suitably corrected by referring to the
correspondence between the operating state and the correction
value in each progression level.

The elastomers can be prepared using a two-step, solvent-less procedure at elevated or ambient temperatures. These predominantly "all-natural" elastomers have physical properties comparable to conventional petroleum-based elastomers and composites and exhibit good flexibility, resiliency, abrasion resistance and inertness to hydrolysis. The resulting elastomers display good mechanical strength and resiliency, are resistant to abrasion and hydrolysis, and can be processed into sheet materials, which makes them attractive as floor covering components.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method for high speed, continuous manufacture of graded refractive index polymer optical fiber. The subject fiber material may be organic or perfluorinated. The subject method can include first forming energy activatable prepolymer compositions containing additives. The prepolymer compositions can be extruded at low temperature through a multi-annular die and surrounded by a co-extruded concentric melt stream which forms a tube with good structural integrity. The prepolymer compositions contained in the tube can be maintained at a temperature for a time sufficient to form the desired graded index profile. Energy can be delivered to the prepolymer compositions which can cause an irreversible chemical transformation and forms a mechanically and thermally stable polymer. A continuous process of thermal annealing of the fiber can be used to minimize residual stress. Multiple fibers may be produced simultaneously in a variety of physical configurations.
