Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090158301Multi-function device ID with unique identifier - A computer system that recognizes multi-function devices and associates functions with multi-function devices. Each multi-function device may be represented by a multi-function object, allowing tools, applications or other components within the computer to take actions relating to the entire device or relating to a function based on the association of that function with other functions in the same device. These actions include displaying information about devices, instead of or in addition to information about functions. Actions also include selecting functions based on proximity within a device. Functions may be associated with a multi-function device using a unique device identifier provided by the device or generated for the function based on a connection hierarchy between functions and the computer. Devices may be configured to provide the same identifier regardless of the transport over which the device is accessed.06-18-2009

20090293070DEVICE DISPLAY OBJECT INFRASTRUCTURE - Multi-function devices expose multiple functions to device drivers or other lower-level software. Device function providers can interface with such drivers or lower-level software and can provide information, including device identifiers regarding such functions, to a device display object infrastructure. A device display object can then be created that encompasses one or more functions such that, in one embodiment, the device display object corresponds to a single, physical multi-function device. Alternatively, any combination of functionality from one or more physical devices can be combined into a single device display object representing a virtual multi-function device. Properties of the device display object can be set with reference to user-specified settings, remotely maintained metadata, locally available metadata, and information associated with each function. Functions can be ranked such that, if there is a conflict, information from more highly ranked functions is used to set the properties of the device display object.11-26-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100214748METAL ROOF TRUSS CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - The invention relates to an electronic circuit and to a method for the manufacture of an electronic circuit comprising at least two electronic components on a common flexible substrate, wherein the at least two electronic components in each case have at least one electrical functional layer composed of identical functional layer material. The electrical functional layers are formed from identical functional layer material and from layer regions of a layer formed in strip-type fashion on the substrate.08-26-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080222989Metal Roof Truss Connection - A novel connection means between chord members and stiffening members of a metal roof truss. Each member includes internally pressed circular sections adapted to engage one another and thereby provide for a joint having greater shear strength than conventional joints. Each member includes two parallel side walls adapted to engage one another, this further strengthening the joint in that there are two connecting surfaces, and located between each engaged walls is a cylindrical ferrule adapted to prevent inward deflection of the walls when secured.09-18-2008

20090230024Co-production of hydrocarbons and dimethyl ether - A process for co-producing hydrocarbons and dimethyl ether (DME) includes feeding a gaseous feedstock comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide, into a threephase low temperature catalytic Fischer-Tropsch reaction stage, allowing the hydrogen and carbon monoxide partially to react catalytically in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction stage to form hydrocarbons, and obtaining a tail gas from the Fischer-Tropsch reaction stage which includes unreacted hydrogen and carbon monoxide and also carbon dioxide. The composition of at least a portion of the tail gas is adjusted to provide a DME synthesis feedstock with a syngas number (SN) between 1.8 and 2.2, where formula (I) and where [H09-17-2009
