There is provided a fiber distribution hub with a panel assembly that includes one or more selectively removable parking devices. The parking devices are adapted to selectively receive one or more connectors of fiber optic cables within the fiber distribution hub. The panel assembly includes a parking area that defines a plurality of slots into which the parking devices are inserted. Once a parking device has been removed from the slot, a splitter module can be inserted into the slot previously occupied by the parking device. Therefore, the size of the housing of the fiber distribution hub can be reduced because the parking area can also be used for splitter mounting.

The present invention relates to a casing 10 for a sealed bipolar battery 20, 30, 50, 55, 60 comprising at least one battery cell 21, wherein each cell have electrodes with non-metallic substrates. The casing comprises at least two parts, an upper part 12, 31, 41, 61 and a lower part 11, 51, 62, that are joined together to form the casing of the battery. A mechanically compliant arrangement are built-in to the casing to reduce the forces on the cell stack caused by changes in cell thickness during operation, and a pressure means are built-in to the casing to distribute the pressure across the cell stack.

A method of drilling well bore (20) through and below permeable formation (22) bearing such fluids as gas, oil, water wherein drill cuttings may be evacuated by formation fluid (23) being produced through the drill string (26) either by decreasing well head back pressure or by gas lift. Production rate is kept substantially stable by operating choke valves (140) and (142) placed after separator (52). Formation fluid being produced while drilling may be pumped into well bore (20) through annulus (31) or utilized. The unique injector included in the drill string provides for possibility to pump simultaneously into annulus (31) lifting gas and produced liquid and may be operated from the surface. A method and system (90) comprising a plurality of special 3-way valves included in drill string (26), are provided for making connections without interrupting flushing the well bore.

An electromagnetic machine for extracting power from a turbine engine includes an outer rotor and an inner rotor rotatably supported adjacent to a stator. The stator is disposed between the inner and outer rotors. The stator has an inner set of windings disposed on an inner surface adjacent to the inner rotor, and an outer set of windings on an outer surface of the stator adjacent to the outer rotor. A plurality of permanent magnets are disposed on an inner surface of the outer rotor element and on an outer surface of the inner rotor element. Air gaps are defined between the outer surface of the stator and the outer permanent magnets, and between the inner surface of the stator portion and the inner permanent magnets. The inner stator windings form a set of multiple-phase windings, and the outer stator windings form a set of multiple-phase windings.

An insulated article having a first insulation region comprising a first polymeric material and first hollow ceramic microspheres and a second insulation region comprising a second polymeric material and second hollow ceramic microspheres. The first insulation region has a thermal conductivity that is no greater than the thermal conductivity of the first polymeric material and a volumetric heat capacity in a range of 60% to 90% of the volumetric heat capacity of the first polymeric material. The second insulation region has a thermal conductivity that is no greater than 90% of the thermal conductivity of the second polymeric material and a volumetric heat capacity that is less than 60% of the volumetric heat capacity of the second polymeric material. A method for making a composition for insulating an article is also described.

A firearm bullpup conversion system incorporates a uniquely configured buttstock that conforms to the operator's shoulder or upper arm to reduce the pull length for a given overall stock length. The system also provides for an auxiliary trigger located in front of the action, an integrated cocking and accessory mounting rail, and a trigger safety.

The present invention provides a method and system for sharing a browser wherein it is not necessary to install a controller for sharing on a computer in advance. More particularly, a collaboration server is provided for accumulating pages to be shared from a Web server retaining original pages. A collaboration server comprises a CachinManager that accumulates pages dynamically generated on the original Web server for sharing, a CommunicationManager that controls sessions such as communication and participation / quitting among NodeManager controlling a browser on each user machine, an ordinary Web server for downloading facilities for implementing sharing of a Web server and an Embedder that embeds in each page a PageManager for controlling pages. The plural user machines to be shared comprise and existing Web browser capable of running Java and Script, and PageManager embedded in each page. A PageManager comprises two parts, namely, namely, a PageController and a PageCommunicator. A PageController detects changes in a page element, communicates them to another machine by way of a PageCommunicator, and receives changes in a page of another computer and then reflects the same changes to own page element. A PageCommunicator manages communication between a NodeManager and a PageController. A NodeManager cor controlling a browser is provided for each process and manages communication between each PageManager and a server.

A fire sprinkler of the preferred embodiments includes a frame, a trigger, and a deflector. The frame defines a duct to exhaust the flow of a fire suppressing or extinguishing substance, and includes a fastener to fasten the frame to a supply line. The trigger blocks the flow of the fire suppressing or extinguishing substance through the duct during a first mode, and permits the flow of the fire suppressing or extinguishing substance during a second mode. The deflector redirects the flow of the fire suppressing or extinguishing substance into a coverage area. The deflector also at least partially shields the trigger from the dispersal of a fire suppressing or extinguishing substance from an adjacent fire sprinkler and prevents a failure of the trigger.

Disclosed is a water de-contamination system, methods, and apparatus using alternating aerobic, anaerobic, and aerobic conditions, with carbon and other waste processing treatments, to remove contaminants from water.
