Abstract: The anti-splitting device (10) of the present invention has a central web portion (14) and a pair of end web portions (16, 18), which are joined adjacent to their midpoints to opposite ends of the central web portion (14) to provide the device with generally I-shaped cross-sectional configurations. The web portions have first side edges (14b, 16b, 18b) tapered to define a cutting edge and second side edges (14b, 16b, 18b) serving to define a planar driven surface (26) disposed parallel to the cutting edge. And on the central web portion (14) are at least two projections (20, 22) to upstand from driven surface. The projections (20, 22) are adapted to removably attach the device (10) to a driver employed to insert the device into a log. The driver (12) of the present invention is preferably in the from of a manually operational hammer having a planar driver surface (38) of circular plan from configuration and a circular groove (40) that has a n outer diameter equidistant and an inner diameter equidistant from a given fixed point, the center of the planar driving surface (38). The groove (40) receives the projections (20, 22) and contacts a predetermined portion of the projections; the projections exert a force on either the outer diameter or the inner diameter, and do not contact both diameters at the same time. The device can then be freely rotated in the groove to obtain a desired position on the driver surface. Thus, the device can be driven into the end of a log upon swinging of the driver, and the projections will not remain in the groove, if they happen to break off.

Abstract: It is desirable to drive down the complexity involved in developing the wireless application by reducing the need to do any explicit coding, as well as reducing device resources utilized by the application when provisioned. Having an intelligent wireless device runtime environment (Device Runtime) that provides a set of basic services to manage the wireless application as a series if application components, and their interactions, can simplify the development effort and reduce resource allocation. The wireless application is described as a set of components. The data domain for this category of applications is defined using atomic data components. The communication between the device and a server is defined using atomic message components. Both message and data components are described in metadata using a structured definition language such as XML. The relationships between the message and data components are embedded in the XML definitions in the form of message/data mappings. Typically, outgoing messages are derived from some underlying data component and incoming messages affect the current state (or data representation) of the application. It is therefore apparent that the metadata defined mapping relationship is preferable between the expression of data and message components.
