Title: Computer animation using separate persistent character and character behaviour files
Inventor: HARVILL YOUNG
IPC: G06T13/40
Filed: 2000-03-27
Abstract: A rapidly downloadable three-dimensional character animation is achieved by initially downloading the persistent data of the character to be stored in a character cache, and subsequently downloading the behaviour files for the movement or actions of the character, as they are required.  The size of the behaviour files may be reduced by including, in the persistent data for the character, "morphlinks", for each polygon on the character. The morphlinks determine the contributions that the movement of each joint in the character makes on each polygon of the character.

Title: Flow control valve for filling tanks from pressurised supply, with shut-off caused by float valve in tank, interconnected by bleed line from valve
Inventor: SHIPP DAVID
IPC: G05D9/04
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: Fluid flows from filling nozzle 112 through flow control valve 10 and on to container 100 via passage 51.  This is achieved by liquid flowing  under pressure and forcing piston 43 against spring 46.  This uncovers ports (not shown) in the valve side wall.  Fluid also bleeds through a passage in piston 43 and then through a passage 48 from the end wall of valve 10 and via line 41 to level sensor valve 22 and in to container 100.  When a pre-determined fluid level 101 is attained valve 22 is closed and flow through passage 48/line 41 is prevented.  Equalisation of pressure on both sides of piston 43 causes spring 46 to move piston 43 to close the ports previously mentioned, and flow to the container is stopped.
