IPC: G06F17/24
Filed: 2007-10-17
Abstract: A system and method for packaging electronic messages for delivery to a communication device is provided. Where the electronic message comprises at least one quoted parent message, the quoted parent message is identified by means of delimiters within the body of the electronic message, and the quoted message thus identified is replaced with an identifying instruction referring to an identifier corresponding to a previously received message comprising the quoted parent message.

Inventor: JENKINSON PHILIP
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2006-09-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a nebuliser and method of nebulising a liquid. The nebuliser includes a nebulisation chamber (1) having a well (2) adapted to contain a liquid (3) to be nebulised. An energy source in the form of an ultrasonic transducer (6) has as a curved energy transmission surface (7). This curved energy transmission surface defines a focal point (8) and a focal length (9). The energy source is spaced from the well such that the distance between the focal point and the energy source intrudes into the well not greater than 50% of the focal length. Preferably the well is shaped such that during nebulisation the level of the liquid in the well remains within a predetermined focal length range to thereby provide a substantially constant flowrateut of nebulised liquid. The nebuliser may also include a deflector baffle or fountain diverter (16) which acts to deflect the nebulised liquid fountain rising from the well. In order to reduce large droplets leaving the nebulisation chamber a circuitous or labyrinthine path is also provided between the well and the exit (13) of the nebulisation chamber.

Inventor: JOHNSON ALEXANDER STEVEN
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2008-04-30
Abstract: A method and system for determining a wait time for a transaction queue is disclosed. In the method, video data related to a first transaction queue is received. The video data is processed to determine a number of items presented by a first entity for a transaction in the first transaction queue. A total transaction time is estimated for the first entity based on the number of items presented by the first entity and a transaction time for each of the number of items. A wait time for the first transaction queue is determined based on the estimated total transaction time for the first entity. If the wait time for the first transaction queue is greater than a first threshold, then the availability of a second transaction queue is indicated to a second entity.

Inventor: DOSTER MICHAEL L
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2006-11-08
Abstract: A method for evaluating existing drill bits and drill bit designs includes measuring several desired characteristics of a bit, including the wear experienced in drilling a formation, such as an actual formation or a simulated formation or a laboratory test fixture. A computer model may be used to evaluate the work-force and/or the sliding-wear rates that cutting elements of the bit experience as compared with the rate-of-penetration and/or durability of the bit. This information may be used to design a new drill bit, which may involve modification of the cutting elements {e.g., moving the location, volume (size and shape) or number of cutting elements from areas of the bit that receive lower work-force and sliding-wear rates to those areas that experience relatively greater work-force and sliding wear-rates. This may permit the cutting elements to be oriented more aggressively relative to a formation to be drilled. Other parameters that may be optimized include the bit profile, blade count, hydraulics, or the like.

Abstract: An open hose clamp formed of a band 10 has band end portions 12, 23 which overlap one another in the closed condition of the clamp. For closing the clamp, tabs 19 which are folded out of the inner band end portion 23 extend through two slots 13 provided in the outer band end portion 12, and are folded upon each other on the outside. An ear-like tightening means 15 serves to reduce the circumferential length of the clamp between its closed and tightened conditions.    The tensile forces then acting between the interconnected band end portions 12, 23 are taken up by two mutually engaging cup-shaped embossments 14, 19 of which the embossment 19 which has a smaller cross-section is formed on the inner band end portion 23 and engages into a larger embossment 14 provided on the outer band end portion 12. This force transmitting means has the effect that no tensile forces are exerted on the slots 13 of the closing means.
