20090222354 | ENROLLMENT APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD - An apparatus for enrolling a package is disclosed including: a receiving surface for receiving the package; at least one weight sensor in communication with the receiving surface which generates a weight signal indicative of the weight of the package; at least one video camera which generates a video signal indicative of an image of the package on the receiving surface; and a processor in communication with the at least one weight sensor and the at least one video camera. The processor includes: a weight module which produces, in response to the weight signal, weight data indicative of the weight of the package; and a dimension capture module which produces in response to the video signal, dimension data indicative of the size of the package. In some embodiments the processor further includes a recognition module which produces, in response to the video signal character data indicative of one or more characters present on the package. | 09-03-2009 |

20080318028 | Glazings - An automotive glazing, comprising first and second plies of a glazing material having an interlayer laminated therebetween is provided. The glazing has a thickness suitable for replacing a single ply toughened or tempered side or door glazing, or an existing laminated glazing in an automotive vehicle. The glazing meets at least one of: a) test 9 of ANSI standard Z 26.1 (1996) using a 196 to 201 g steel dart dropped from a height of 9.14 metres; b) test 12 of ANSI standard Z 26.1 (1996) using a 224 to 230 g steel ball dropped from a height of 9.14 metres; and c) the ball-impact test of ECE Regulation number 43 for a 225 to 229 g steel ball dropped from a height of 5 metres. Preferably, the interlayer has a thickness of less than 0.76 mm, and the automotive glazing a thickness of less than 5 mm. | 12-25-2008 |

20130172448 | EPOXY COMPOSITE - The invention relates to a process for making a epoxy composite. In the process an epoxy prepolymer, a curing agent and a particulate filler are combined to form a curable mixture. The mixture is then agitated under a non-air atmosphere to render it substantially homogeneous, and pressure is applied to the mixture to reduce or eliminate gas pockets in the mixture and is maintained until the curable mixture is cured to form the epoxy composite. | 07-04-2013 |

20100127255 | CONTACT AND METHOD OF FABRICATION - The present invention provides Schottky-like and ohmic contacts comprising metal oxides on zinc oxide substrates and a method of forming such contacts. The metal oxide Schottky-like and ohmic contacts may be formed on zinc oxide substrates using various deposition and lift-off photolithographic techniques. The barrier heights of the metal oxide Schottky-like contacts are significantly higher than those for plain metals and their ideality factors are very close to the image force controlled limit. The contacts may have application in diodes, power electronics, FET transistors and related structures, and in various optoelectronic devices, such as UV photodetectors. | 05-27-2010 |
