Abstract: A process for making high aspect ratio metal flakes comprises applying a multi-layer sandwich of vapor deposited metal and release coats in alternating layers to a rotating chilled drum or suitable carrier medium contained in a vapor deposition chamber. The alternating metallized layers are applied by vapor deposition and the intervening release layers are preferably solvent-soluble materials applied by suitable coating or vapor deposition sources contained in the vapor deposition chamber. The release coat materials can be a thermoplastic solvent-soluble polymer. The multi-layer sandwich built up in the vacuum chamber is removed from the drum or carrier and treated with a suitable solvent to dissolve the release coating from the metal in a stripping process that leaves the metal flakes essentially release coat free. The solvent and dissolved release material are then removed by centrifuging to produce a cake of concentrated flakes which can be air milled and let down in a preferred vehicle and further sized and homogenized for final use in inks, paints or coatings. In one embodiment the finished flakes comprise single-layer thin metal flakes and in another embodiment the flakes are coated on both sides with protective polymeric coatings that were applied from vacuum deposition sources contained in the vapor deposition chamber. In an alternative embodiment the release coat can be a thermoset material which is lightly cross-linked in the vacuum chamber and then later treated with a de-polymerizing solvent material that breaks the chemical bonds sufficiently to separate the layers.

Abstract: A process and apparatus is described for recovering from optical transmission degradation due to scintillation effects in optical free space. A payload bit stream is encoded into Reed-Solomon codewords. These are fragmented and distributed as interleaved segments over a cell matrix of a SDRAM buffer store which is made large enough to correct a burst error occurring over 20 million consecutive bits. The rate imbalance between conventional read vs. write operations for SDRAM devices, which would otherwise obviate their use in this application by preventing real time operation, is overcome by an address remapping that avoids having to changing page addresses each time SDRAM memory is referenced. The remapping facilitates a more nearly equal allocation of READ overhead and WRITE overhead. An optical communications system employs at both the transmit and receive ends, substantiallyequivalent SDRAM buffer with address remapping capability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A servo system and method position a head laterally with respect to magnetic tape longitudinal defined servo bands arranged in a longitudinally shifted pattern for identification, and separated by data tracks. A servo controller responds to a loss of lateral position, sensing an estimated longitudinal position of the magnetic tape. If the estimated longitudinal position is within a predetermined distance of an end of the tape, the servo controller operates a drive to continuously move the tape away from the sensed end. The servo controller senses a home lateral position sensor to determine whether a compound actuator is within a predetermined distance of the edge of the magnetic tape. If so, it operates the coarse actuator portion of the compound actuator to move laterally away from the edge of the magnetic tape; else, to move toward the edge. The servo controller senses a dual servo sensor to detect any two of the defined servo bands; and, upon sensing any two of the defined servo bands, detects the longitudinal shift to identify which ones of the two defined servo bands have been detected.

Abstract: An indirectly prestressed concrete roof-ceiling construction is a prefabricated element for constructing large-span industrial buildings. The construction includes a distinctly wide and thin concrete soffit plate and an upper concrete girder of an inverse "V"-shaped cross section, interconnected by slender steel pipe-rods that are used to stabilize the upper girder against lateral buckling and to prevent the plate and the girder from getting closer or further away from each other. Prestressing of the soffit plate causes compression in the upper girder which passively (indirectly) pushes the ends of the construction, acting on some eccentricity over the center of gravity of the cross section, causing rotation of its ends, bending in that way the soffit plate upwards. There are two efficient methods of prestressing these constructions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method to facilitate communications of important messages, communications, or interactions. Policies are introduced that consider a user's current situation, including the cost of interrupting the user, or directly sensed surrogates for such a cost, and decide on a suitable time, within a deadline for delivering the information or establishing a communication. Deadlines for delivery are determined based on the urgency of the information that is inferred or detected from the message sender, type, and content. If a suitable context is not detected within a deadline, the information is delivered at the deadline. If it is determined that a suitable context will not achieved within a deadline, the information is transmitted immediately. Suitable contexts for delivery can be determined via the use of one or more sensors on or near endpoint devices, including accelerometers, microphones, touch sensing, and gaze and head pose detection. Other information, including appointment status as indicated on a user's calendar, the time of day, and previously assessed patterns of availability can be employed in decisions about the deferral of alerts. Endpoint sensors, calendar information, and patterns of availability also may used to identify the likelihood that information will be received at a device. Such information can be passed back directly or in a summary form as the likelihood of transmission success to a central notification manager or used locally in decisions about the salience and repetition of alerting. <IMAGE>
