Title: Two-tier architecture for remote access service
Inventor: LONG JAMES
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2008-06-11
Abstract: Remote access service is provided between two or more computers on a network to facilitate a variety of activities, including desktop sharing, web-meetings, and web- conferences. A first computer sends its connection information to a server. The server stores the connection information for the first computer. A second computer may make a request to the server to remotely access the first computer. The server sends to the second computer the connection information it has stored for the first computer. The second computer uses the connection information for the first computer to send to the first computer connection information for the second computer via direct network connection. From this point on, the first computer and the second computer exchange data for remote access via a direct network connection, independently of the server.

Title: Method of cleaning graphite moulds
IPC: B24C3/32
Filed: 1974-03-06
Abstract: 1437905 Blasting; cleaning moulds AMSTED INDUSTRIES Inc 6 March 1974 [4 June 1973] 10116/74 Headings B3D and B3F A method of removing a mould coating from the casting surface of a graphite mould (17, Fig. 1, not shown) comprises suspending a sand spray gun 58 on the axis of the mould and spaced from the mould, and then, while forcing sand through the spray gun and against the mould surface, moving the spray gun in a spiral path towards the periphery of the mould. In apparatus for carrying out the method, a succession of graphite moulds (17) are moved into position beneath the spray gun on a conveyer (16) the spray gun being mounted on a frame 10 having a hopper which feeds sand to the gun under the control of a valve 22. A sprocket 28 is mounted on blocks 26 carrying roller bearings 30, 32 engaging a stationary ring 38 mounted on the frame. A pair of spaced vertical plates 40 is mounted on the sprocket and receive between them a pair of guide wheels 88 carried by brackets 86 on a block 82 rotatably supported by bearings 80 on an outer pipe 62 of the spray gun. The spray gun is supported by a universal joint 48 on the frame and a sprocket 96 is fixed to the outer pipe 62 and connected by a chain 98 to a sprocket 94 on a gear reduction unit 90 mounted on the block 80. An output shaft 100 of the unit has a crank 102 at each end of which is a cam wheel 104, 105 arranged so that one wheel at a time engages a cam plate 106 secured to the plates 40. As the sprocket 28 is rotated, the plates 40, through the guide wheels 88, impart rotation to the block 80. As the sprocket 96 is held against rotation, the sprocket 94 rotates and the crank is moved to cause the cam wheel 105 to ride along the cam plate 106 thus swinging the spray gun 58 about the axis 56 of the universal joint, the gun thus moving in a spiral path. The effect of the cam wheel on the cam plate decreases the velocity of radial movement of the gun as it approaches the periphery of the mould so as to effect a constant blasting of the area of the mould. The sand is blasted from a compressed air source, the pressure of which is increased as the gun moves radially outward so as to compensate for the increased distance of the gun from the mould. The spray gun has a funnel 66 for receiving sand from the hopper, the sand falling through an inner pipe 60. Compressed air is supplied from an inlet 68 to the space between the inner and outer pipes, the lower ends of which receive an adaptor 71 having a tapered surface which causes the air at the outlet to create a negative pressure to modulate the velocity of the sand.

Title: Safety door lock and control for rotary drums
Inventor: SHEFFER HARVEY IRVING
IPC: D06F37/42
Filed: 1958-03-31
Abstract: 890,947. Washing-machines. McGRAWEDISON CO. March 31, 1958, No. 10319/58. Class 138 (2). [Also in Group XIII] A washing and spin-drying machine having a perforated drum 10, has a latch-bolt on the frame door 16a kept in the locked position by fluid under pressure. The source of fluid pressure is coupled with the latch bolt and is opened up only when the bolt is in door-holding position and when a control member is in position to energize the drum-rotation means. A geareddown motor 11 drives the drum at a relatively slow speed for washing and a higher-speed motor 5 drives the drum during the extraction time. The output shafts of the motors are in axial alignment with clutch means 12 for connecting or disconnecting them. A brake is applied to the drum at all times except when the door is closed and locked, and a starting switch has been actuated. As shown in Fig. 1, the motor 11 drives the drum 10 through the motor 5, which, not being energized, runs idly on its shaft. The door 16a has a vertically-slidable latch-bolt 22 under control of a spring 23 and, in the locked position, extends through upper and lower ears of a keeper 21 as well as through the door tab section 16b. A spring-pressed cap member 21a is used to help start the door open when the latch-bolt is released. When the door is closed, extra pressure may be exerted on it by means of a hand wheel and screw-thread. To press the door into its closed position, compressed air acts against a flexible diaphragm 36, Fig. 5, which is fastened in a fluid-tight manner to a circular rib 16c on the inside face of the door-supporting arm 16, the space within this rib acting as an air chamber, supplied by a pipe 40, Fig. 8. A brake drum 39, Fig. 1, on a driven pulley 8, is mounted on the rear tub head 1b. Air pressure to the brake-shoe operating cylinder 41 is controlled by a solenoid 47, Fig. 8. A similar solenoid-controlled valve 48, normally in exhaust position, is controlled by a solenoid 49 and supplies air to the door sealing chamber diaphragm 36 through a tube 50. Excessive vibration of the frame causes a weight 55 to move and open switch contacts to break the motor-control circuit for the extractor motor. " Inching " buttons A, B are pressed to slowly rotate the drum to bring its door into a desired position. Specification 890,948 is referred to.

IPC: E05C1/16
Filed: 1922-04-12
Abstract: 200,576. Lee, H. J. April 12, 1922. Locking sliding latches; night latches; locks, cases for; latches, sliding.-A latch capable of single throw for ordinary use and of a double throw for locking, is traversed to its double throw position by a runner plate connected to it by a spring and operated by a pinion on an auxiliary revolving barrel lock. The latch-bolt 7 is shown in the Figure in its single throw position from which it can be retracted by the follower 16 operated by a handle from the inside, and by the runner plate 9 operated by a pinion 10 on the revolving barrel of an auxiliary lock 11 from the outside. A spring 8 between the bolt 7 and runner plate normally keeps the bolt in its single shot position. A spring detent 17 carried by the latch-bolt is pressed upwards by a projection 9<d> on the runner plate to bring it into engagement with a stop 6<a> on the casing to limit the outward movement of the bolt 7 to its single-throw unless thrust out by the runner-plate to the double-throw position. To effect the double throw, the pinion 10 is turned by the key of the auxiliary lock to traverse the runner-plate to the left. The runnerplate moves along until the projection 9<d> moves out of the path of the detent 17, which is then released from the stop 6<a> by its spring, allowing the bolt to be pushed forwards by the runnerplate and spring 8 to its double-throw position, bringing a stop 19 on the bolt into engagement with the casing 6. The runner-plate is moved forwards until its projection 9<b> no longer supports the gravity-flever 12 which then drops behind the bolt to block it. Movement of the runner plate in the reverse direction by the pinion 10 results first in the lifting of the lever 12 by the projection 9<b> and the engagement of the shoulders 9<c>, 7b on the runner-plate and bolt respectively and then in the retraction of the bolt. The auxiliary lock casing 11 is secured against rotation by a set screw 20 and is provided with a notch engaged by the rack 9<a> on the runner-plate so that the lock 11 can only he removed for exchange when the runner-plate has been operated to withdraw the boat to its extreme position.
