Abstract: The power management system tracks the total amount of power
drawn from a bus by devices connected to the bus and to the bus itself, based
on the individual operational status of each device. The power manager
system also tracks the total amount of power supplied to the bus. From this
information the power manager system determines whether a power surplus
exists sufficient to allow an additional device to operate or to allow a currently
operating device to draw more power. Power usage requests received from
devices connected to the bus are granted or denied by the power
management system based on the determination of available power. The
power management system additionally is capable of sequencing the use of
several devices to allow the devices to each operate while maintaining the
total power draw within an acceptable range. The system provides for
efficient use of a limited amount of power to allow operation of more devices
than conventionally allowed with a bus. The system also can activate power
supply devices which are off-line via soft-power-on commands to increase to
total amount of power available. The system is advantageously implemented
with any bus system having devices drawing power from the bus from power
supplies providing limited power.

Inventor: WHITE BARTON J
IPC: B65H45/24
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: A system for forming a discontinuity or interruption in a stack of
interfolded sheets, which are formed by a pair of folding rolls acting on a stream of
overlapping sheets supplied to a nip area defined between the folding rolls. The stream
of overlapping sheets is supplied to the folding rolls from a pair of feed rolls located
upstream of the folding rolls. Normally, the feed rolls are operated at a surface speed
substantially the same as the surface speed of the folding rolls, to feed the overlapping
sheets to the folding rolls. When a desired sheet count has been attained, the feed rolls
and the folding rolls are operated so as to eliminate the overlapping relationship between
a downstream sheet and an upstream sheet in the stream of overlapping sheets. To
accomplish this, the feed rolls and the folding rolls are operated at a differential rate of
speed, which results in advancement of the downstream sheet relative to the upstream
sheet in a manner sufficient to eliminate the overlapping relationship of the downstream
sheet with the upstream sheet. Such elimination of the overlap between the downstream
and upstream sheets separates one group of sheets in the stack from the next adjacent
group of sheets, which facilitates separation of the groups of sheets for subsequent
processing such as packaging. The folding rolls are operated at a substantially constant
rate of speed, and the feed rolls are selectively slowed upon discharge of the
downstream sheet therefrom, to slow advancement of the upstream sheet while the
downstream sheet is moved downstream by the folding rolls. The slow operation of the
feed rolls is maintained until the trailing edge of the downstream sheet is moved
forwardly out of overlapping relationship with the upstream sheet, which occurs prior to
the point at which the trailing edge of the downstream sheet and the leading edge of the
upstream sheet reach the nip between the folding rolls. The folding rolls function to
place the downstream panel of the upstream sheet onto the upstream panel of the
downstream sheet in the stack of sheets, and separation between the downstream and
upstream sheets functions to form a discontinuity or interruption in the stack of
interfolded sheets, to divide the stack into groups of sheets according to a desired sheet
count and to facilitate separation for processing.

Abstract: In order to reduce the heat transfer coefficient of coated building panels, the coating and
the building panel have a high voidage. This high voidage can be obtained by using a
fiber mat and a porous coating applied to the fiber mat. The porous coating includes
porous glass particles and a low amount of a binder. The porous glass particles are held
together by binder bridges, including a silicate binder and a low amount of an organic
dispersion binder, for example an polymeric styrol acrylate. The partial volume filled by
the binder bridges is small and therefore there is a remarkable first empty partial volume
in between the porous particles. A second empty partial volume is located within the
glass particles. The total volume of all pores of the glass particles is a relevant part of the
total coating volume. This second empty partial volume is a very good thermal isolation
because the individual pores are small and to a high percentage closed chambers not
connected to the ambient. The silica binder and the high voidage in the coating provide a
high fire-resistance.
