Abstract: A foam material element for sound-damping cavities, particularly for light metal extruded profiles used in rail car construction. The foam material element has a foam material sandwich with at least two layers, namely a resilient layer and at least one heavy layer disposed on the resilient layer. The resilient layer is formed of soft foam polyurethane and the heavy layer is formed of a flocculated foam polyurethane compound. Prior to being inserted in a cavity to be sound-proofed, the foam material element is compressed and weld-sealed in an air-tight film. The element is inserted through an opening of the cavity in its compressed condition. After insertion and placement of the foam material element, the film is opened and, as a result of its exposure to air, the foam material element expands to such a degree that at least one heavy layer, biassed by the resilient layer, comes into contact with the walls substantially over a broad surface area.

Abstract: A traction device, preferably formed of an elastomer material, has molded threads and is designed to encapsulate a tire of a vehicle. The traction device has a body with a pair of distal ends. At one of the ends a pair of metal hooks are pivotally mounted to a hinge pin. When the traction device is placed around the tire, the metal hooks engage a locking pin disposed on the other end of the body. A bladder is mounted to an inner surface of the body such that the bladder becomes sandwiched between the body and the tire. Tension and grip is applied to the traction device by inflating the bladder. Air is introduced via an air valve through a communication duct. Once mounted, the traction device essentially becomes an integral member of the vehicle tire, thereby enhancing the traction of the drive wheels.

Abstract: A method of forming an engine airfoil part. The attributes of a final workpiece product are selected. An appropriate substrate composition is determined depending on the selected attributes. A workpiece substrate is formed to near-finished dimensions. An appropriate coating material composition is determined depending on the selected attributes. The workpiece substrate is prepared for a high-density coating process. The high-density coating process, such as HVOF thermal spray, is performed to coat the workpiece substrate with the coating material. The coating material is built-up to a thickness effective to obtain desired finished dimensions after performing a hot isostatic pressing treatment. The appropriate hot isostatic pressing treatment parameters are determined. The hot isostatic pressing treatment is performed on the coated workpiece substrate to obtain a metal product having the desired finished dimensions and diffusion bonding between the coating material and the workpiece substrate.

Abstract: A warmswap operation to replace modules in a mirrored cache system is done by the steps of disabling mirrored write operations in the cache system; testing the replacement memory module in the cache system; and restoring the mirrored data in the cache system. The restoring operation is accomplished by first quiescing write operations to stop writing data in the cache system not backed up in non-volatile data storage. Then data is copied from surviving memory modules to the replacement module, and the cooperative interaction of the surviving memory modules with the replacement memory module is validated. The validating operation verifies the cache modules are ready and the controllers are synchronized. After validation the quiesced write operations are unquiesced, and mirrored-write operations for the cache system are enabled. The cache system may have two cache modules and two controllers, each cache module having two quadrants of storage space so that a mirrored write operation writes the same data to one quadrant in one cache module and a paired quadrant in the other cache module. The failed cache module is replaced with a new cache module while continuing to write to the remaining good cache module. Data copying from a good cache module to the new cache module, releasing of any quiesced write operations and enabling of mirrored-write operations may be performed sequentially for each volume of data in the good module. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An adaptive method for removing fixed pattern noise from focal plane array (FPA) imagery. A set of correction terms is applied to the focused image from the FPA, and a filter is applied to the corrected, focused image. The set of correction terms is also applied to a blurred version of the FPA image, and the filter is applied to the corrected, blurred image. Fixed pattern noise errors are then calculated using the filtered imagery, and employed to update the correction terms. The updated correction terms are then used for processing the next image. In one embodiment, the filter is an anti-median filter. In another embodiment, the filter is an anti-mean filter.
