Title: Intelligent grouping transportation - Autonomous dial-a-ride transit system
Inventor: OLMI GIUSEPPE ANTONIO
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2003-08-18
Abstract: A mode of public transportation which uses computer systems, data communication systems, electronic positioning systems, and electronic street navigation systems in order to orchestrate a fleet of driver-controlled multi-passenger transit vehicles on the roads. To ride via this transport system, individual travellers must first submit their itinerary requirements to the computer system. Typically, travellers will do this by entering their itinerary data on their cellular telephone. The computer system scans all the submitted itinerary requirements that it receives, and then intelligently groups travellers with compatible itineraries onto the same, typically minibus-sized, transit vehicle. The computer system creates a customised road route for this transit vehicle so that each traveller thus grouped is picked up and conveyed exactly according to his itinerary, even though journeying simultaneously with other travellers on board. The computer system supplies street navigation instructions to the transit vehicle driver to direct him along this customised road route.

Title: Gripping device with helically or randomly arranged members to avoid excessive grooving
Inventor: ROWLEY JAMES
IPC: F16L37/092
Filed: 2005-04-06
Abstract: A gripping device which may be used as a mooring connector or a pipeline recovery tool comprises an elongate member 10 having a plurality of axially spaced ramped surfaces (15, figure 2). The elongate member 10 is surrounded by a ball cage 11 having balls 12 protruding there from so that relative longitudinal movement of the elongate member 10 and the ball cage 11 causes the balls 12 to ascend the ramped surfaces and protrude further from the ball cage, thereby gripping the pipeline or other member to be gripped. The balls 12 are arranged randomly or helically, as shown in figure 4, so that balls of each row are circumferentially offset with respect to the adjacent rows. This arrangement avoids excessive grooving or deformation of the wall of the receptor into which the gripping device is inserted.
