20120132380 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PAPER AND PRODUCTS OBTAINED BY THE METHOD - The invention relates to a method for manufacturing nanostructured paper or board and a novel paper or board. The method comprises providing a liquid suspension of nanocellulose-containing material, forming a web from the suspension, and drying the web in order to form paper or board. According to the invention the water content of the suspension from which the web is formed is 50% or less by weight of liquids. By means of the invention, energy consumption of paper manufacturing can be significantly reduced. | 05-31-2012 |
20120132381 | NOVEL PAPER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF - The invention relates to a method for manufacturing nanostructured paper or board and a novel paper or board. The method comprises providing a liquid suspension of nanocellulose-containing material, forming a web from the suspension and drying the web in order to form paper or board. According to the invention, the water content of the suspension at the time of beginning of the drying is 50% or less by weight of liquids so as to form a paper or board having an average pore size between 200 and 400 nm. By means of the invention, very opaque paper, for example for printing applications, can be manufactured with low energy consumption. | 05-31-2012 |

20120072425 | CUSTOMER FOCUSED KEYWORD SEARCH IN AN ENTERPRISE - A method, system, and computer readable storage medium are provided for performing a centralized search to locate information having a common context in an enterprise. Such search can be provided by defining a logical object that groups customer profile and related objects such as contacts, leads, opportunities, notes, interactions, and the like for a search in a customer context. A customer identifier can serve as a key to link the related objects. A keyword search of a logical group is also provided that allows for a single unified search across customers and related objects, or to search within a single customer and related objects. One aspect of the logical group keyword search provides for refining the search to show a subset of objects and to use filtering of object attributes. Search results indicate the customer context by highlighting the customer name in the result. | 03-22-2012 |

20140375993 | Bicycle Alignment Device - An alignment device for bicycle handlebars that enables them to be accurately aligned relative to the front wheel. The device may include a unitary body and a laser beam emitter. The laser beam emitted may create a visible point of light wherever the beam makes contact with the front wheel, or the bicycle frame, or another component attached to the bicycle frame. The laser beam can be perpendicular to the handlebars. The laser beam emitter is preferably able to be changed by the user. Using the laser beam, and by adjusting the beam's angle of declination or inclination, the user can preferably make fine adjustments to the alignment of the handlebars, relative to the front wheel, and/or another component that is mounted on the bicycle frame, relative to the bicycle frame. | 12-25-2014 |

20080219112 | Software programmable timing architecture - An apparatus for generating a digital signal pattern may comprises a memory, a program sequencer, first and second circuits, and an event execution unit. The memory may have stored therein a plurality of instructions that, when executed, cause a digital signal pattern to be generated on a plurality of nodes. The program sequencer may be configured to control a sequence in which the plurality of instructions are retrieved from the memory and executed. The first circuit may sequentially step through a plurality of different output states in response to a clock signal. The second circuit may identify an output event when an output state of the first circuit corresponds to an output state identified by retrieved instructions of a particular type. The event execution unit may control states of signals on the plurality of nodes in a manner specified by the retrieved instructions of the particular type in response to the second circuit identifying an output event. | 09-11-2008 |
20080222444 | Variable instruction width software programmable data pattern generator - A method for generating a digital signal pattern at M outputs involves retrieving an instruction from memory comprising a first set of bits identifying a first group of N outputs that includes fewer than all of the M outputs, and a second set of N bits each corresponding to a respective output included in the identified first group of N outputs. For each of the M outputs that is included in the identified first group of N outputs, the signal at the output is toggled if the one of the N bits corresponding to that output is in a first state and is kept in the same state if the one of the N bits corresponding to that output is in a second state. For each of the M outputs that is not included in the identified first group of N outputs, the signal at that output is kept in the same state. | 09-11-2008 |
