Abstract: An exterior automotive trim product, and method of making the same. In certain embodiments, a color pigmented thermoplastic layer (75) is provided. A transparent clear coat (77) is calendared to the color pigmented layer (75) to form a composite or laminate. The laminate is subsequently vacuum-formed into a three dimensional shape approximating the desired shape of a final trim product. The vacuum-formed laminate (91) is then inserted into an injection molding device, and semi-molten resin (119) injected into the mold cavity behind the laminate (91). The resin fuses with the vacuum-formed laminate (91) with the result being the final automotive trim product. Thus, no spray painting or spraying of solvents is required, and burdensome dry paint transfer techniques may be avoided.

Title: Method for improving the startup of an ultrasonic system under zero load conditions
Inventor: WIENER EITAN T
IPC: A61B17/3211
Filed: 2001-10-17
Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: The start up performance of an ultrasonic system under zero load conditions is improved by setting a phase set point in a frequency control loop such that, at start up under zero load conditions, the phase set point intersects a point on a phase-frequency response curve which has a low positive slope. This intersection point on the phase-frequency response curve changes as the load is increased and the system Q is decreased. The controller "seeks" a target 0° impedance phase angle. The frequency of the ultrasonic generator is set to an off-resonance frequency which is lower than the resonance of any known hand piece/blade combination. In order for the drive voltage to not exceed the physical limit of the system, the drive current is set to a low level. The drive frequency is then smoothly increased in steps until the target 0° impedance phase delta is located.

Abstract: An approach for performing auto-commissioning over a two-way satellite network is disclosed. A transceiver (109) transmits and receives signals over the two-way satellite network. An antenna (111) is coupled to the transceiver (109). A user terminal (101) is coupled to the transceiver (109) and executes a setup program. The program instructs a user to point the antenna (111) to a beacon satellite (107) using predefined pointing values based upon the location of the antenna (111). The user provides user information over a temporary channel that is established via the beacon satellite (107) to a hub (113). The hub (113) downloads network configuration parameters and antenna (111) pointing parameters to the user terminal (101). The user selectively re-points the antenna (111) based upon the downloaded antenna (111) pointing parameters.  The user terminal (101) is configured based upon the downloaded network configuration parameters, without the need to employ a separate terrestrial link.

Title: Adjustable urging force system for stacker paddle
Inventor: YAP ANTHONY E
IPC: B65H31/06
Filed: 2002-10-23
Granted: 2007-06-26
Abstract: A paddle urging system for use in a stacking bin having a constant force spring to provide an urging force to a paddle for supporting a stack of mailpieces. As mailpieces are accumulated into the stack, they push the stack against the paddle. A brake/clutch system is used to provide an additional drag to the paddle to resist against this movement of the paddle. The brake/clutch system is adjustable so that heavy mailpieces are supported more effectively, whereas lightweight mailpieces encounter less resistant force when they are accumulated into the stack.
