Title: Rock facade panel and methods of manufacturing a rock facade panel
Inventor: MCGRATH JOHN
IPC: B28B1/14
Filed: 2003-06-24
Abstract: The invention provides a building panel having a simulated natural rock face, for use as a rock facade in wall construction applications, and methods of manufacturing same. The wall panel is manufactured in a mold containing a masonry-permeable mesh, preferably flexible. In one embodiment the bottom of the mold is provided with the profile of the natural rock facade and the masonry permeable mesh is positioned spaced from the bottom of the mold, and a settable material is poured into the mold, creating the rock facade and simultaneously embedding the mesh in each simulated rock face to integrate the panel. In a further embodiment the mesh is placed over the bottom of a mold, the settable material is poured over the mesh, and the rock facade pattern is pressed or stamped into the top surface of the settable material to create the desired pattern. Optionally the panel has a backing board having holes, the settable material intruding through the holes to anchor the rock facade (and embedded mesh) to the backing board. In the preferred embodiment the panel is provided with top and bottom edges having complementary profiles containing a repeating pattern so that panels can be laid against one another in either a linear or a staggered (overlapping) fashion, and the side edges of the panel are complementary and fit into the repeating portion of the top and bottom edge profile, so that the building panels can be laid either vertically or horizontally.

Filed: 2002-02-04
Abstract: A system and method for establishing initial synchronization for the link between a UE and a base station in a communication network uses window exclusion logic in order to avoid a deadlock condition upon a detection of the wrong public land mobile network (PLMN). The communication signal is processed in a three step decision process. The first decision step (12) determines a chip offset of the strongest path detected over a frame of samples. In response to the first decision (12), the second step (14) generates a scrambling code group number and slot offset for retrieving the second synchronization code. The third decision step (16) retrieves a primary scrambling code in response to the code group number for synchronizing the UE  to the base station.

Abstract: A system and method for generating sample points that can generate the sample points in parallel. The sample points can be used in processing in parallel, with the results subsequently collected and used as necessary in subsequent rendering operations. Sample points are generated using a coarse Halton sequence, which makes use of coarse radical inverse values Fbi,M (j) as in formula 11. where base "b" is preferably a prime number, but not a divisor of "M" and "i" is an integer. Using this definition, the s-dimensional coarse Halton sequence UsChal,i,M, which may be used to define sample points for use in evaluating integrals, is defined as in formula 12.where b1,...,bs are the first "s" prime numbers that are not divisors of "M". Each value of "i"  defines a subsequence that is a low-discrepancy sequence, and so can be used in connection with processing. Similarly, the union of all subsequences for all values of "i" between "zero" and "M-1" is also a low-discrepancy sequence, so results of processing using the coarse Halton sequences for all such values of "i" can be collected together and used in the same manner as if the results had been generated using a Halton sequence to define the sample points,

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for deep-rolling radii or fillets (2) at the transition between the bearing journals (3) and the adjacent flange (4) of a bearing point of a crankshaft (1) with the aid of deep-rolling cylinders. The deep-rolling cylinders are pressed into the radius or the fillet (2) of the transition with a deep-rolling force until a predetermined roll-down depth (10) is reached while the crankshaft (1) is turned. The transition is initially deep-rolled with a first deep-rolling cylinder, the radius (6) of which has an osculating ratio between 1 and 0.85 referred to the radius of the transition or the fillet (2), namely with a first deep-rolling force that produces a maximum internal compressive stress (7) in the transition at a depth between 1 and 2 mm below the deep-rolled surface (8). The same transition is subsequently rerolled with a second deep-rolling cylinder that has a smaller radius (14) than the first deep-rolling cylinder (5), the magnitude of which is chosen such that the second deep-rolling cylinder causes a further plastic deformation (11) on the deep-rolled surface (8) of the transition in addition to the plastic deformation achieved with the first deep-rolling cylinder.

Abstract: Un appareil et un procédé pour traiter des données de mesure d'audimat permettent de détecter (Fig. 2) et de corriger un ou plusieurs codes horaires de diffusion défectueux. Les codes horaires défectueux sont identifiés par le calcul d'au moins un premier ensemble d'intervalles entre un ensemble de temps de lecture qui ne sont pas obligatoirement consécutifs et dont chacun correspond à un ou plusieurs codes horaires extraits d'un signal de diffusion (30). Le premier ensemble d'intervalles est comparé à un deuxième ensemble d'intervalles entre les codes horaires pour identifier si un ou plusieurs deuxièmes intervalles ne répondent pas à un critère prédéterminé. Au moins un des codes horaires associés à chacun des deuxièmes intervalles qui ne correspondent pas aux critères de code horaire est identifié comme défectueux. Le procédé utilisé pour calculer un code horaire corrigé consiste à utiliser l'amplitude du premier intervalle correspondant pour calculer le code horaire corrigé.
