Title: Stitch-bonded fabrics utilizing stretchable substrates
Inventor: TSIARKEZOS STEPHEN H
IPC: B32B7/08
Filed: 2004-10-21
Abstract: A stretchable stitch-bonded nonwoven fabric is disclosed herein. The fabric includes a nonwoven substrate having basis weight in the range from about 15 to about 150 g/m2, and density in the range from about 0.02 to about 0.12 g/cm3.

Title: Track assembly
Inventor: LOEGERING GEORGE A
IPC: B62D55/14
Filed: 2004-12-31
Abstract: A track assembly having first and second hub assemblies that are operatively connected to a support frame by first and second attachment members, respectively. The first and second attachment members include resilient or movable mounts that are configured so that the track assembly can be attached to vehicles whose axles or wheel flanges are misaligned or have irregular rotational movement such as runout or wobble. The attachment members may be adjustably positioned relative to the support frame to accommodate vehicles having different wheelbase lengths and axle lengths. An endless track encircles the first and second hub assemblies, and the support frame, and is drivingly engaged by one of the hub assemblies. First and second rollers, which define the longitudinal extent of the endless track, are positioned at either end of the support frame. A tensioning member, with at least one upper idler roller, positions the endless track so that it is spaced from one of the hub assemblies in a spaced relation. The track assembly increases traction and stability by providing a vehicle with an independent front suspension, a larger footprint, and a longer wheelbase. In use, each track assembly is bolted onto wheel flanges of a vehicle using existing wheel lugs and nuts.

Title: Measurement and signature intelligence analysis and reduction technique
Inventor: CIRILLO FRANCIS ROBERT
IPC: G01S7/295
Filed: 2005-02-08
Abstract: Methods and apparatus compress data, comprising an In-phase (I) component and a Quadrature (Q) component. Statistical characteristics of the data are utilized to convert the data into a form that requires fewer bits in accordance with the statistical characteristics.  The data may be further compressed by transforming the data and by modifying the transformed data in accordance with a quantization conversion table that is associated with the processed data.  Additionally, redundancy may be removed from the processed data with an encoder. Subsequent processing of the compressed data may decompress the compressed data in order to approximate the original data by reversing the process for compressing the data with corresponding inverse operations. Interleaved I and Q components can be processed rather than separating the components before processing the data. The processed data type. may be determined by providing metadata to retrieve the appropriate quantization table from a knowledge database.

Inventor: HE XIAOFEI
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2005-04-26
Abstract: A method and system for determining relatedness of images of pages based on link and page layout analysis. A link analysis system determines relatedness between images by first identifying blocks within web pages, and then analyzing the importance of the blocks to web pages, web pages to blocks, and images to blocks. Based on this analysis, the link analysis system determines the degree to which each image is related to each other image. The link analysis system may also use the relatedness of images to generate a ranking of the images. The link analysis system may also generate a vector representation of the images based on their relatedness and apply a clustering algorithm to the vector representations to identify clusters of related images.
