Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for managing distribution of content to a device, the system comprising a database for storing a number of elements as a hierarchical structure, content identifiers being able to be associated with elements in the hierarchical structure, and one of the elements representing the device, and a server for referencing the hierarchical structure in the database to generate a profile for the device, the profile containing a number of content identifiers indicating content to be provided to the device. A device manager is associated with the device and arranged to receive the profile from the server and to use the content identifiers in the profile to cause the content indicated by the profile to be provided to the device, a record being kept identifying the content provided to the device in accordance with the profile. The device manager is arranged upon receipt of a subsequent profile from the server to compare the content identifiers in the subsequent profile with the record to determine new content not yet provided on the device and old content no longer to be provided on the device, the device manager being arranged to use the relevant content identifiers to cause the new content to be provided to the device, and to cause the old content to be removed. This approach facilitates the efficient management of distribution of content to devices.

Abstract: The punctured pilot channel comprises information symbols of uncertain sign punctured into a sequence of pilot channel symbols of predetermined sign. The apparatus includes an information sign demodulation circuit for determining the sign of the information symbols in response to the pilot channel symbols. A continuous pilot generator generates a non-punctured pilot channel of predetermined sign from the information symbols and the pilot channel symbols. In a first embodiment, the information sign demodulator further comprises a dot product circuit for calculating a dot product of the pilot channel symbols and the punctured information symbols, and a threshold comparator for comparing the dot product to a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for enabling design of a product such as a colored plastic having a visual effect caused by an additive. In one embodiment, a user such as a designer at a first computing unit is able to interact with a second computing unit operable to provide a generally accurate representation of the product having the visual effect. Desirably, the user inputs information relating to the additive such as a flake material or a diffuser material and the system provides a representation displayable on a display or monitor of the first computing unit of the product having the visual effect based on the information relating to the additive. The design of the product having the visual effect is advantageously stored on the second computing unit and accessible by at least one second user such as a marketer or manufacturer for review of the design. Further, the users can order plaques of the designed product having the visual effect so that a comparison of the product having the visual effect to actual samples of the product can be made before a production order is placed.

Abstract: A method of producing a substantially regular cylindrical body that consists of a deformable material, especially a sintered metal blank. The blank is provided with an interior helical recess. The blank is first produced with a substantially linear course of the interior recess, for example by extrusion. The body is cut to a defined length and is subjected to a rolling movement by a friction surface while being supported across its entire length on a support. The speed of the rolling movement changes in a linear and continuous manner across the length of the body, thereby regularly twisting the body.

Abstract: A toy motorcycle body supports a pair of front-to-back extending chassis shafts in a pivotal attachment. A front wheel and a rear wheel are each formed of respective wheel halves and supported by the pivotable chassis shafts. The chassis shafts each support respective lever cams which cooperate with a pivotally supported lever actuated by the user. The chassis shafts also support a pair of spring cams which cooperate with a return spring. The action of the spring upon the spring cams pivots the chassis shafts to place the front and rear wheel halves together configuring the toy motorcycle as a conventional motorcycle. The manipulation of the pivotally supported lever by the user overcomes the spring force and pivots the chassis shafts so as to move the respective wheel halves to a split outwardly extending configuration to mimic a hovering device.

Abstract: A lock for a door comprising a casing, a bolt operable to extend from or retract into the casing and manually operable bolt retention means to retain the bolt in its retracted state even when an automatically operating bolt holding member is released by inwards movement of a bolt release member. The bolt retention means comprises a snib having a part receivable in an opening in the bolt when the bolt is manually moved into the case from its normally retracted position. Once the snib part is in the opening and the inwards force on the bolt removed, the spring acting on the bolt moves the bolt to its normally retracted position, where it is then retained by the snib. To release the retention, the bolt is again moved further into the case, whereupon the snib part is moved clear of the bolt opening under spring bias, and the unretained bolt is moved by its bias to its normally retracted position.

Abstract: In a method and a device for controlling the magnitude of the generated ring signal in a the Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) the voltage of the A and B lines to the subscriber from the SLIC is compared to a reference voltage. The device is arranged to control the magnitude of the generated ring signal voltage in response to the outcome of the comparison. In particular, the device is arranged to control the ring signal voltage so that the ring signal voltage is reduced if the voltage on the A or B line exceeds the reference voltage. Also, the reference voltage is preferably chosen so that there is no risk for saturation of the final stages. The reference voltage is preferably selected to have a value being related to the value of the negative supply voltage.
