Inventor: COOK JAMES
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: An art distribution system for distributing art to multiple display devices within an environment. The art distribution system provides a technique for specifying images to be displayed in an environment. The art distribution system provides a hierarchical representation of spaces within the environment. Each space may be further subdivided into subspaces. The art distribution system allows a user to select a space within the hierarchy and then to select an image that is to be displayed at the display devices within the selected space. The art distribution system then displays the selected image within the space including within all subspaces of the selected space.  The art distribution system may allow a subsequent assignment of the image to a subspace to override within that subspace the previous selection of an image for the space.

Title: Method for installing an ignition system and ignition system
Inventor: SCHAFER HEINZ
IPC: F42D1/055
Filed: 2001-04-18
Abstract: When an ignition system is installed, the spatial position of an ignition device (5a to 5g) in relation to the surrounding, its geographical position, is as yet not determined. The user is required to exercise extreme caution in order to ensure that the ignition devices (5a to 5g) connect to the ignition system (1) in accordance with a predetermined blasting plan. A specially trained person must therefore systematically carry out the sequential connection (compulsory sequence) of each ignition device (5a to 5g) to the bus line (3) of the ignition system, i.e. logging. The person connecting the ignition devices must execute the ignition of device programming operation in all kinds of conditions, in open country, with utmost caution. This represents a considerable time delay for a blast. If one ignition device is overlooked during logging, the already entered data have to be reprogrammed, which costs time. The invention provides that the geographical position (4a to 4e, 4f', 4g) of an ignition device (5a to 5g) is determined using a satellite-assisted navigation system (GPS) (10) and this position is conveyed to the logger (2).
