Title: Grill assembly for a cyclone-type dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner
Inventor: OH JANG-KEUN
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2002-08-07
Abstract: A grill assembly for a cyclone-type dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner has a grill member having an air passage hole extending through a lower portion; a dust blocking member removably mounted on the grill assembly through the air passage hole of the grill member; and a fixing unit for removably fixing the dust blocking member with respect to the grill member. The grill member has a grill supporting portion supported on the air outlet, a conical grill and a cylindrical grill portion, all of which are integrally formed with each other.      The dust blocking member has a connection member inserted and connected through the air passage hole of the cylindrical grill portion, and has a plurality, of holes partitioned by a rib and interconnected with the air passage hole; and a dust blocking plate integrally formed with the connection member at a lower portion of the connection member. The dust blocking plate is spaced from the connection member by a predetermined distance. Since air is discharged through the air passage hole extending through the lower portion of the grill assembly, dust and foreign substances particularly adhere around the air passage hole.  Accordingly, a user can remove the dust and foreign substances from the dust blocking member easily as he/she is simply required to separate the dust blocking member from the grill member. As a result, the cleaner is easy to use.

Title: Call management system responsive to network presence
Inventor: PATIL RAJEEV B
IPC: H04M3/428
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: A call management system responsive to subscriber preferences for handling incoming voice calls of a subscriber having on-line IP network capability.  When the subscriber occupies a line, a controller activates an Internet presence server that determines online status by checking IP activity at the subscriber's IP address. If the subscriber is online and has indicated a preference to accept calls, the controller activates a pop-up screen at the subscriber's terminal to display menu options to handle the call, such as answering via VoIP, text-to-speech synthesis, forwarding the call to a specific number, or sending the call to voicemail. A voicemail message may also be sent to an email account as an audio file or as a pager alert with short message text. The system may be centrally located within a network or integrated with subscriber premises equipment. Certain management features may also be disabled dynamically in response to on-line status.

IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-07-04
Abstract: The application describes a method for predicting chemical or biological properties, e.g. toxicity, mutagenicity, etc., of complex multicomponent mixtures from 2D separation date, e.g. GC-MS. The data are resolved into peaks (C) and spectra (S) for individual components by an automated curve resolution procedure (GENTLE). The resolved peaks are then integrated and the characteristic area, separation parameter and associated spectrum combined to yield a predictor matrix (X), which is used as input to a multivariate regression model. Partial least squares (PLS) are used to correlate the 2D  separation date for a training set to the measured property. The regression model can then be used to predict the property for other samples.

Abstract: The filter device (1) is especially used for mechanical cleansing of waste water and for water treatment. It is rotationally arranged in a container (2) and surrounded by the liquid to be filtered. The filter device (1) comprises several filter elements (4) which are arranged at a distance from each other, form segment-shaped filter modules (3) and are assembled to form a rotary filter. The individual filter elements (4) consist of filter plates which are used to divert the filtrate and which are provided with filters on both sides.  The aim of the invention is to prevent solids from adhering to the filters during the filtering process. This is achieved by providing the rotary filter with a hollow area (14) that is connected to the container (2) via a suction inlet and which is sealed by means of a carrier plate (6) for the filter segments, and also by making the hollow area (14) cooperate with a flow member. A pump blade wheel is used as a flow member. Preferably, the pump blade wheel (15) is driven via the rotary filter.

IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2003-03-14
Abstract: To provide a fairness of distribution, an encrypted event, containing information not intended for release prior to a release time, can be sent to clients prior to the release time. In such a manner the bulk of the information can be transferred to the clients without concern to the duration of the transfer. At the release time, a small decryption key can be sent, either from a central sever, or from multiple server, utilizing multiple network paths to provide for the greatest likelihood that each client will receive the decryption key with a minimum of delay. Each client is thereby provided access to the information at approximately the same time, regardless of the bandwidth available to each client. Additionally, trusted edge servers, that can be trusted not to release information prior to an appropriate time, can send an unencrypted event, or decrypt the encrypted event and send the decrypted event, at a determined time, either prior to or after the release time, such that the decrypted or unencrypted event arrives at the clients that could not store and decrypt the encrypted event at approximately the same time as the key arrives at the other clients. Each client can thus receive the information at approximately the same time, regardless of the client's bandwidth or its ability to store and decrypt information.

Abstract: A rolling mill roll assembly comprises a support shaft having a tapered section leading from an abutment to an end section. A ring-shaped roll with inboard and outboard flanks and a cylindrical bore is axially mounted on the shaft with its inboard flank seated against the shaft abutment and with its cylindrical bore surrounding the tapered shaft section.  A tapered sleeve is inserted between the tapered section of the shaft and the cylindrical bore of the roll, and a load ring is rotatably fixed with respect to and axially shiftable on the end section of the shaft. A resilient spacer is interposed between the load ring and the sleeve to yieldably maintain a gap between the load ring and the outboard flank of the roll. A roll retainer mounted on the end section of the shaft acts in an abutting relationship with the load ring and via the resilient spacer to close the gap and axially wedge the tapered portion of the sleeve between the tapered section of the shaft and the cylindrical bore of the roll. Bolt members threaded in through bores in the roll retainer are torqued to urge the load ring against the outboard flank of the roll, which in turn urges the outboard flank of the roll against the shaft abutment.
