Inventor: HULMANN LOUIS
IPC: B65B61/06
Filed: 2007-01-19
Abstract: A cutting apparatus (7) fixed to a robot arm and intended for separating off end parts of the packaging of a paper reel comprises an edge cutting unit (7) having an edge cutting disc (18) and a detector (19), and a positioning unit (16) having an elastic positioning strip (27) which is wound on a winding roller (26) and which is unwound after piercing an end part by means of a spindle (33) and is pushed at the spindle (33) between the end part and an end face of the paper reel and up to the edge of the end face and is passed through the circumferential packaging. The edge cutting unit (17) is then positioned as a function of the position of the tip of the positioning strip (27) determined by the detector (19) and is advanced, whereupon the edge cutting disc (18) makes an all-round cut just behind the end part with rotation of the paper reel, and the end part is clamped between gripper arms (20a, b) and a clamping arm (22) and is removed. A separation apparatus for cutting open a lateral part of the packaging has a pre-cutting disc for reducing the pressure on a plough which then cuts open the remaining outermost layers.

Title: System and method for improving the efficiency, comfort, and/or reliability in operating systems, such as for example windows
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2007-12-27
Abstract: Although MS Windows (in its various versions) is at present the most popular OS  (Operating System) in personal computers, after years of consecutive improvements there are still various issues which need to be improved, which include for example issues of efficiency, comfort, and/or reliability. The present invention tries to solve the above problems in new ways that include considerable improvements over the prior art. Preferably the system allows for example a "Reset" function, which means that preferably an Image of the state of the OS (including all loaded software) is saved immediately after a successful boot on the disk or other non-volatile memory and is preferably automatically updated when new drivers and/or software that change the state after a boot are added, so that if the system gets stuck it can be instantly restarted as if it has been rebooted. Other features include for example solving the problem that the focus can be grabbed while the user is typing something, allowing the user to easily define or increase or decrease the priority of various processes or open windows, a powerful undo feature that can include preferably even any changes to the hard disk, improved undo features in word processing, improved file comparison features, being able for example to track changes retroactively, improved backup features, and many additional improvements. The application covers also improvements that are related for example to Word processing (since for example in Microsoft Windows, Word behaves like an integral part of the system) and things that are related to the user's Internet surfing experience, including for example improved search experience (This is important since for example in Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer is practically an integral part of the OS). The invention deals also with some preferable improvements in the performance of the hard disk and also with some other smart computerized devices.
