Title: Machine and method for treating products with microwaves
Inventor: SALDA LUCIANO
IPC: A61L2/12
Filed: 2004-06-16
Abstract: The machine comprises a plurality of identical containers (1), of suitable shape and suitable capacity, preferably having flared mouths and round cross sections, which, by the action of a carousel (7) or any other suitable conveyor means, are cyclically made to interact with the following operating stations: a first station which shreds the containers with their contents, in such a way as to form a finely shredded product which, by suitable means, is fed into each container in predetermined constant amounts, is compacted and is suitably moistened, the mouth of each container being protected and kept clean by suitable means; a second station in which the mouth of the container (1) is closed to form a seal by a piston (39) which communicates by means of a wave guide with the magnetron (55) which generates the necessary microwaves for the sterilization of the waste in the container. Suitable means control the pressure and temperature within the container, in such a way that the waste is treated at the specified temperature and for the time required to ensure neutralization of any bacterial load present in the waste, while on completion of sterilization, the treatment container is brought to atmospheric pressure and removed from the said piston; a station, if required, for removing any excess liquid contained in the sterilized waste, while the mouth of the container is suitably protected and kept clean; and a station which discharges the treated waste from the container, while the mouth of the said treatment container is protected and kept clean by suitable means, so that it can subsequently interact and form a seal with the piston of the sterilization station.

Title: Production line and method for the continuous production of cast parts from a molten metal, in particular a molten light alloy
Inventor: SMETAN HERBERT
IPC: B22D33/00
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a production line for the continuous production of cast parts (M) from a molten metal, in particular a molten light alloy. Said line comprises several functional units including a core production unit (2) for producing cast cores, a mould assembly unit (3) for mounting casting moulds (G) that are configured as core packets, a casting unit for casting the molten metal into the casting moulds (G), a cooling unit (5a) for cooling the molten metal that is contained in the respective casting moulds (G) and a demoulding unit (5b) for removing the casting mould (G) from the cast part (M), during which process the mould is destroyed. A production line of this type permits the economic and flexible production of heavy-duty cast parts with complex forms, in particular motor blocks. To achieve this, the successive continuous functional units (2 5b) are directly interconnected by a respective transport unit (12,19) and the rate at which the production line (1) ejects the finished cast parts (M) depends on the rate at which the core manufacture unit (2) delivers the cast cores it has produced.

Title: Playground climbing structure
Inventor: GILLETT SHARON
IPC: A63B9/00
Filed: 2005-12-01
Abstract: A climbing structure comprises a plurality of climbing units secured to a pole. The climbing units are made from interengageable members having different climbing elements. Hence, many different climbing units can be formed from a set of a few climbing elements. The climbing elements can be varied along the pole such that, near ground level, the climbing elements comprise foot rests. Further up, the climbing elements can comprise steps or a combination of steps and handgrips.  If the pole is arced, the climbing elements along the upper portion (or generally horizontal portion) of the pole, can comprise primarily handgrips.  Additionally, the climbing units themselves can be assembled together and mounted to the pole using a variety of structures. They can, for example require a hole to be formed in the pole and can be placed at only discrete locations along the pole. Alternatively, they can rely on a clamping mechanism and can be placed at any desired position along the pole.

Patent CA-2533262-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMAS STEVEN ROBERT
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2006-01-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling multiple application programs to control a system's physical resources by way of multiple resource proxies, while still enabling exclusive control of the physical resource by one application program. Control tokens are used to limit control to one proxy. The proxy having the control token is tracked in an access control list. Java API methods that can alter the state of a physical resource are marked with an access control attribute during grinding. A resource management module intercepts API methods attempting to obtain control of the physical resource. If a proxy controlled by the application program invoking the intercepted method has control the method is allowed to use the proxy to control the physical resource.

The system is also operated at 100% throughput, work conserving, fair, and yet deterministically thereby never congesting the output ports. The system performs only one iteration for arbitration, and with mathematical minimum speedup in the subnetwork. The system operates with absolutely no packet reordering issues, no internal buffering of packets in the interconnection network, and hence in a truly cut-through and distributed manner. In one embodiment, the speedup is implemented with only one subnetwork and with double switching rate through the subnetwork. In another embodiment, the system is operated in rearrangeably nonblocking manner with a speedup of at least: (II) in the interconnection network. When the number of input ports r, is equal to the number of output ports r2 , and r, = r2 = r , the interconnection network having a speedup of at least :(III) is operated in strictly nonblocking and deterministic manner in accordance with the invention by scheduling corresponding to the packet rate weight, at most r packets in each switching time to be switched in at most r switching times. And with a speedup of at least :(IV) in the interconnection network, the system is operated in rearrangeably nonblocking and deterministic manner. The system also offers end to end guaranteed bandwidth and latency for multirate packets from input ports to output ports.  In all the embodiments, the interconnection network may be crossbar network, shared memory network, clos network, hypercube network, or any internally nonblocking interconnection network or network of networks.
