20120088115 | CORROSION PROTECTION WITH AL / ZN-BASED COATINGS - Red rust staining of Al/Zn coated steel strip in “acid rain” or “polluted” environments can be minimised by forming the coating as an Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloy coating with an OT:SDAS ratio greater than a value of 0.5:1, where OT is the overlay thickness on a surface of the strip and SDAS is the measure of the secondary dendrite arm spacing for the Al-rich alpha phase dendrites in the coating. Red rust staining in “acid rain” or “polluted” environments and corrosion at cut edges in marine environments can be minimised in Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloy coatings on steel strip by selection of the composition (principally Mg and Si) and solidification control (principally by cooling rate) and forming Mg | 04-12-2012 |

20110061766 | HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE HAVING A DISPENSER FOR BEVERAGES AND/OR ICE - A household appliance having a dispenser for beverages and/or ice. The appliance includes a recess with a supporting surface for a container and a rear wall. A dispenser for a product including at least one of a beverage and ice is disposed in the recess. A user control and display unit configured for selection and display of the type of product being dispensed is included on the appliance. A trigger that is operable to dispense the product includes at least one sensor array configured to detect the container. The at least one sensor array has a sensor range and is disposed on the rear wall of the recess. A controller coupled to the user control and display unit is operable to control the dispensing process such that selection of at least one of the product and the amount to be dispensed is determined by movement of the container relative to the dispenser within the sensing range of the at least one sensor array. | 03-17-2011 |

20100122239 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING RUNTIME OF PERSISTENCE APPLICATIONS - A monitoring method and apparatus monitors a runtime application to collect and display static and dynamic data concerning software entities and database operations in a runtime environment. In one embodiment, monitoring classes are used to collect monitoring data from at least one PersistenceUnit (PU) and at least one PersistenceContext (PC) associated with the PU of an application the uses an in implementation of a Java Persistence Application Programming Interface (JPA). A Java Management Extension (JMX) MBean communicates with the monitoring classes to expose monitoring data outside the runtime environment. | 05-13-2010 |
20150120809 | AUTOMATED PROCEDURE FOR KERNEL CHANGE - A kernel provides a mechanism allowing various applications (e.g. CRM, logistics, procurement, etc.) hosted on a plurality of different application servers, to share access to a common underlying system (e.g. database). An automated process for implementing a kernel change (e.g. for upgrade or replacement) may employ a “Stop-the-World” approach involving suspension of application server instances, coordinated by the start service of the last application server whose kernel is to be changed. As used herein, suspending refers to halting any processing prior to calling a central service (CS) as long as a CS instance is unavailable, and then to resuming processing once the CS instance becomes available. This suspension of relevant clients avoids errors from arising during the downtime of the CS instance. Once the application server instances are in a stopped state, the CS instance is restarted. Then, the application server instances are resumed, and their kernels are changed. | 04-30-2015 |

20130237742 | Electromagnetic Field Applicator Array with Integral Sensors for Implicit Correction of Mutual Coupling and Mismatch - The invention concerns a system for producing. specific field distributions in a defined volume or region. The system comprises an array of electromagnetic field generating elements each with an integrated sensor for measuring the phase and amplitude of the current flowing in a metallic element (antenna or coil) or field in a slot based element, a measurement device to enable measurement of both phase and amplitude of the electrical signals from the sensors with sufficient dynamic range for quantification of the signal, a multi channel radio frequency power source with individually controllable amplitude and phase to excite each of the electromagnetic field generating elements, and a feedback controller enabling controlled adjustment of the amplitude and phase of the radio frequency power source based on the signals from the sensors. The system controls the outputs of a multi channel radio frequency power source such that the current in a metallic or the field in a slot based electromagnetic field generating elements provide the desired electromagnetic field values and the superposition of the fields produced by each electromagnetic field generating element produces said specific electromagnetic field distribution in said defined volume or region. As the signal picked up by each sensor is directly related to the phase and amplitude of the current or field in the associated electromagnetic field generating element and hence the electromagnetic field generated by the array elements, where the current or field measured is the sum of both the applied (from the radio frequency power source) and secondary excitations from mutual coupling and reflections hence the measured value represents the ideal excitation in the absence of mutual coupling, reflections and mismatch. The feedback controller modifies the direct excitation such that the total excitation is the ideal array excitation without coupling or mismatch. The invention implicitly corrects for the coupling and mismatch without explicit knowledge of, and calculation based on, the mutual coupling and mismatch, termed the coupling matrix, such that changes in the coupling matrix due to presence of objects or changes thereof are inherently taken into account. Additionally, by sequentially exciting each element in turn the invention can directly determine the exact mutual coupling matrix of the array even in the presence of variations in source impedance and undefined cable lengths such that initial excitation amplitudes and phases can be calculated to allow rapid adjustment to the desired values. A particular application of interest is in radio frequency hyperthermia applicator systems. | 09-12-2013 |
