Inventor: CRAGUN BRIAN JOHN
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1995-08-11
Abstract: A sales promotion program is dynamically selected from a plurality of programs for presentation in a program presentation unit by a neural network that makes its selection based on first detecting if a person is in the area immediately around the program presentation unit, then either selecting a general attract loop sales promotion program with the trained neural network using a set of predetermined system criteria if no person is detected in the immediate area or selecting a specific loop sales promotion program if at least one person is detected in the immediate area. The neural network is trained by selecting general attract loop programs that are run and then collecting data indicative of the number of persons responding to the general attract loop and also by selecting specific loop programs that are run if a person is in the immediate area and then collecting data indicative of the responses to the specific loop programs. The collected data thereby represents the success of the various sales programs in attracting and holding the attention of persons. The collected data is provided to the neural network in any one of a plurality of training schemes typical for neural networks, after which the trained neural network is provided with current, real-time selection data such that the trained network can select the most appropriate sales promotion program for running. The network canbe retrained at regular intervals or in response to sales data or changes in thecollected data.

Title: Method for fabricating a flat or centripetal wire
Inventor: LANGE WERNER
IPC: B07B1/12
Filed: 1995-10-05
Abstract: Method of making a flat or centripetal wire of the type comprising a plurality of bars in substantially axially parallel arrangement relative to one another and including wire slots contained in between. Said method comprises providing a plurality of bars and providing at least two bar support members. Each bar support member includes laterally open recesses provided along a longitudinal edge of the bar support member. Each bar support member is capable of being flexed from an initial state to a final state. At the initial state, the longitudinal edge has an initial radius of curvature such that the laterally open recesses are open sufficiently to receive the bars and wherein at the final state, the longitudinal edge has a final radius of curvature larger than the initial radius of curvature such that the laterally open recesses are sufficiently closed to exert a clamping force upon the bars retained in said recesses. The bars are inserted into the laterally open recesses of the bar support members while the bar support members are in the initial state in order to provide a wire shell. The bar support members are bent from the initial state to the final state such that the laterally open recesses exert a clamping force upon the bars.

Title: System and method for sleeving a heat transfer tube belonging to a nuclear heat exchanger
Inventor: EVANS DAVID M
IPC: F16L55/163
Filed: 1995-12-21
Abstract: System and method for sleeving a heat transfer tube belonging to a nuclear heat exchanger. The tube may have a previously installed prior art repair sleeve of relatively small inside diameter disposed therein forming an obstruction in the tube. The system includes an elongate support body insertable into the tube and a resilient bladder surrounding the support body. An elongate sleeve surrounds the bladder, the sleeve having a predetermined length and a predetermined outside diameter smaller that the inside diameter of the prior art repair sleeve in order to pass through the prior art sleeve. A pressurizer is in communication with the bladder for pressurizing the bladder in order to expand the sleeve into intimate engagement with the tube over the entire length of the sleeve after the sleeve passes through the prior art sleeve. A controller is connected to the pressurizer for controlling the pressurizer. An alignment mechanism connected to the support body is also provided for coaxially aligning the support body with the tube. In addition, a translation mechanism, which is connected to the support body, translates the support body axially in the tube. In this manner, the sleeve is capable of passing through the prior art sleeve in order to sleeve the tube at a location higher than the prior art sleeve.

IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 1994-02-10
Abstract: A telemetry and control system for use in direct current power wiring applications, such as those used in automobiles and other vehicles includes a master transmitter (10) which encodes data as a train of current pulses which modulate the d.c. supply voltage. A slave receiver (14) at another location, connected to the same power source (2) through pre-existing wiring, amplifies the supply voltage modulations, recovers the data waveform, and decodes it to effect an action or display a measurement or status indication.  A second transmitter (15) combined with the slave receiver may transmit data similarly for reception by a second receiver (11) combined with the master transmitter, to enable two-way communication therebetween. Applications of the system include an emergency battery booster, an anti-theft battery disconnection device, a distress alert system, activation and reception of data from outboard devices, and remote measurement of fluid levels, temperatures and pressures.
