20090292497 | Real time error determination for inertial instruments - An exemplary inertial measurement apparatus has first and second inertial instruments that are oriented to have parallel sense axes and that produce respective first and second sensed output signals representative of an inertial attribute to be measured. Respective first and second scale factors are used in producing the first and second sensed output signals.

To facilitate measurement of bias errors in the first and second instruments, a substitute scale factor is determined to be an equivalent of the second scale factor and is based on the first scale factor and a difference between the first and second scale factors. Errors in the second scale factor are calculated based on the first scale factor and the substitute scale factor during first and succeeding time intervals where a sign of one of first and second scale factors changes from one state during the first time interval to the other state during the succeeding time intervals. First and second corrected output signals are generated based on the respective first and second sensed output signals and correction of said second scale factor error. | 11-26-2009 |

20110066892 | Visual test automation tool for message-based applications, web applications and SOA systems - In one embodiment, a graphical user interface (“GUI”) enables the efficient composition and execution of a test of a message-based application, Web application, or SOA systems' capacity to receive, process and respond to message traffic. The GUI may be used to generate a test composition by dragging and dropping message clips onto one or more tracks. Each clip includes one or more message, with each track being organized into one or more bands. Each track and each band may run contemporaneously to send messages to a target device or application. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. | 03-17-2011 |
20120017112 | System and method for provisioning and running a cross-cloud test grid - An automated method for provisioning a grid used to run a load test on a target website includes sending one or more requests in a multi-threaded manner to at least one cloud provider, the one or more requests for an allocation of N load server instances and M result server instances which comprise the grid. Requests received back from the cloud provider are also handled in a multi-threaded manner; any errors occurring during the allocation being corrected automatically. The N load server instances and the M result server instances are then verified to be operational and correctly running software deployed to provide defined test services. Errors identified during the verification are automatically corrected either by attempting to restart a failed instance or allocating a different instance. | 01-19-2012 |
20130097307 | Session template packages for automated load testing - A computer-implemented method includes scanning a clip of messages that includes message requests and message responses arranged in a sequence. The scanning is performed based on one or more search parameters and produces a list of one or more name/value pairs. The clip is utilized to perform a load test on a target website. Each name/value pair has a corresponding value. For each name/value pair in the list a message request in the clip is identified where the corresponding value is first used. Then, looking backwards in the sequence from the message request where the corresponding value is first used, prior message responses are located where the corresponding value is found. An extraction point is specified in the clip for the corresponding value as a latest message response in the sequence where the corresponding value was returned from the target website. The corresponding value is then stored as a property. | 04-18-2013 |

20100247860 | Configuration for Increasing the Bond Strength Between a Structural Material and Its Reinforcement - A method of coarse enameling material, such as the surface of conventional rebar, which increases adhesion between the surface and a matrix, such as a cement-based mortar or concrete, in which the material is embedded. In one embodiment, a glass fit is fired onto a surface to achieve an enamel finish, the finish is then cooled and heat softened. A refractory material, such as dry portland cement, is applied to the heat softened enamel, and the resultant coarse coating is then fired and cooled to produce a final hard coarse enameled surface. The reaction of the refractory component in the coarse enameled surface upon insertion in fresh mortar or concrete prevents the formation of soft precipitates at the interface of the cementitious matrix and the coarse-enameled reinforcement. One embodiment involves adding portland cement Type I-II to a softened glass frit as a final coating over an initial base coating that if fired on the steel to prevent corrosion of the underlying steel. The coarse topcoat of enamel produces a strong chemical bond between it and a concrete or mortar matrix and the base coat of enamel eliminates or significantly reduces the potential for corrosion. | 09-30-2010 |
20110100265 | PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR INCREASING DENSITY OF NON-CONDUCTIVE POROUS SOLIDS AND MATERIAL MADE THEREFROM. - A “green process” and system employing a first operation of electrophoresis in a liquid suspending selected solids to introduce the suspended solid particles as micro- or nano-particles, or both, into pore spaces of a porous non-conductive medium. A second operation uses electro-transport to move ions of solids into small pore spaces inaccessible via electrophoresis alone to grow solids in these smaller pore spaces to a size that may fill them, thus increasing the density and strength of the medium. The process yields a material that has improved strength, reduced porosity, high density and, in select applications, resistance to formation of mildew, mold, fungus and the like. Certain applications also enable decorative colors and florescence to be introduced to the media. Materials made from the process include high strength concrete construction panels, “backer boards,” work surfaces, counter tops, complex decorative configurations, strong thin walled items, and the like. | 05-05-2011 |
20110262756 | CONFIGURATION FOR IMPROVING BONDING AND CORROSION RESISTANCE OF REINFORCEMENT MATERIAL - A coating for a reinforcing material, such as metal rebar, that increases the adhesion between the reinforcing material and a matrix, such as a cement-based mortar or concrete, in which the reinforcing material is embedded. The coating may comprise a glass frit mixed with a refractory material, such as dry Type I-II portland cement. The coating is bonded, typically by heat, to the surface of the reinforcing material. The reaction of the refractory component, e.g., portland cement, when the reinforcement, e.g., metal re-bar, is embedded in a matrix, e.g., fresh mortar or concrete, prevents the formation of soft precipitates at the interface of the matrix and its reinforcement. One coating comprises portland cement Type I-II combined with a commercial alkali-resistant glass frit. This coating is applied to a steel rebar and fired to bond to the rebar. The frit-refractory coating produces a strong bond between the metal rebar and concrete and may eliminate or significantly reduce the potential for corrosion of the rebar. | 10-27-2011 |

20090022457 | Fusion-splice fiber optic connectors and related tools - Fiber optic connectors having an optical fiber stub that is fusion-spliced for optical connection and related tools for the fiber optic connectors are disclosed. Specifically, the connector assembly for fusion-splicing includes a fiber optic connector having an optic fiber stub and a boot attachable to the fiber optic connector.
