Title: Fibre yarn crimping process - heats material by feed bands before passing to the heated profiled wheel
IPC: D02G1/14
Filed: 1971-08-21
Abstract: The process to crimp twisted yarns uses a feed mechanism with two opposing heated continuous bands to bring the material to the required crimping temp. before being pressed by a profiled crimping wheel. Thus the system allows fibre material widths of up to 1000mm to be processed, giving an effective crimping action, in all dimensions, without damaging the fibre structure. In partic. the fibre yarn material having been fed between the heated bands, is passed to the crimping wheel, with a jet to separate the matl. from the bands. Further jets are provided to deliver steam or hot air to the material while counter rollers ensure that the material is pressed against the heated wheel. The crimped material is sepd. from the wheel by a cold jet and cooled roller to pass through an outlet channel fitted with a further cooling jet and a groove to lead off any collected condensation.

IPC: A01B71/06
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: A drive assembly for an agricultural implement comprising a first implement portion 2 and a second implement portion 3 which is pivotable relative to the first implement portion 2 around a pivot axis x. The first implement portion 2 comprises a first rotary driving device 4 and the second implement portion 3 a second rotary driving device 5, with the two rotary driving devices 4, 5 being rotationally connected to one another by a shaft assembly 6 provided in the form of universal-jointed shaft.

Title: Information security profile and policy system
Inventor: WRAY DAVID ROBERT
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2000-08-21
Abstract: A method for providing access to protected information comprises the steps of defining a security profile and policy for each item of protected information, defining a security access level for each potentially valid requester of the information, positively identifying a requester as a valid requester, validating a valid requester's security access profile with the security level of the protected information, and implementing the security policy for the protected information, so that a positively identified valid requester is provided with the appropriate access, while requests made by requesters lacking positive identification or the appropriate security level are treated in accordance with the security policy therefore. Pseudo identifiers may be used to request information, which are treated as lists of tasks rather than addresses. When an unauthorised requester is identified, substitute information may be provided so that they are not aware that their unauthorised status has been detected. A client identification key may be used, which may include configuration information of the client computer. Temporary files may be created for transmitting protected information to the client.

Title: Method and computer system for selecting and displaying graphic objects
Inventor: HAVERLOCK KEVIN B
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: To give the user of a computer system flexibility in generating displays of object trees, a user may initially select an object (see fig 5 not shown) appearing in a default tree display. A filter dialog box is summoned to allow the user to define custom object filters 98 or to select one of several predefined tree-level filters 96. The criteria associated with a selected filter are identified and retrieved and applied to all nodes (60a, 60b, 60c) on branches that are at levels subordinate to the level of the initially selected node (59). Once all of the relevant nodes (60a, 60b, 60c) are tested, a new tree display is generated which retains the tree structure but which shows only those nodes (64, 66, 68) which meet the selection criteria.

The barbecue is easier to light as the additional compartment 30 can act as a hopper for charcoal which has previously been brought to the point of incandescence. It also provides an additional heat source which is useful when cooking food on a spit.

Title: A torque converter with a lock-up clutch that is engaged when negative torque is desired
Inventor: O'NEIL BRIAN MICHAEL
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: A controller, eg a proportional integral (PI) controller, determines whether a negative powertrain output torque is desired and controls an engagement of a lock-up clutch, of a torque converter 11, before the negative powertrain output torque is required. Also the controller detects the lock-up clutch over-running (eg slipping) when a current gear is selected in a transmission 15 and adjusts an engine 10 operating parameter to maintain transmission input speed at or below a synchronous transmission input speed that is obtained, for example, from a look-up-table. Various different routines are disclosed, for example one routine determines whether a negative engine output torque is desired by detecting if an accelerator pedal is in a closed or tip-out position and selects a desired engine speed that is equal to a synchronous speed in a future gear ratio, thereby reducing transmission gear clunk. The engine may be controlled in a closed and/or an open loop fashion and the operating parameters include air/fuel, ignition timing, throttle angle etc. The torque converter 11 connects the transmission 15, via shafts 13, 17, to the engine 10.

Title: Call routing with preselected caller criteria
Inventor: HUNT LISA
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: Apparatus and method for routing calls made to a service centre to a call destination able to meet criteria preselected by the caller for the interaction with the service centre. The handheld personal communication device comprises a dedicated key for calling a predetermined destination service centre providing a plurality of respective modes of interaction. The dedicated key has associated data indicating one of a plurality of respective modes of interaction (i.e. the preferred communication, language, gender etc of the person answering the phone call). This enables the person answering the call to interact with the caller in a manner intertwined with the dialling process itself, and there is no need for the additional transfer of information at the start of the call as may be the case if a caller requests to speak to e.g. an English speaker when a call is answered. Therefore, the user can immediately access the service in the manner required.

Title: Method of associating two record sets comprising a set of processor states and a set of notes
Inventor: GROSVENOR DAVID ARTHUR
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-01-10
Abstract: A method of accessing a data set, each record in which is referenced by the related state of a data processor. A first data set comprises a set of records which may be manually created and associated with entries in the record set to be accessed. Each record in the first record set may be a note logically associated with a position on a page and corresponding to a particular state of the data processor. A plurality of such records may be created so as to create a number of notes relating to a number of processor states. Accordingly, one or more records may be retrieved from an associated note, the note being associated with a corresponding processor state. Alternatively one or more notes may be retrieved by similarly selecting a particular processor state. The notes may be handwritten notes on a page of paper and the record set thereby retrieved may be a website associated with a particular website address as maintained by the state of a processing system eg a 'browser'. The means of associating a note with a record may involve imaging via a digital camera.
