Title: Asymmetric collaborative working
Filed: 2011-07-27
Abstract: A collaborative working environment established by suitable computers operates on the principle that documents stored by particular computers can be served to other computers a page at a time. Then, on any particular computer, a graphical user interface can be managed by the user thereof according to his own needs. In reviewing a document, pages on-screen will be replaced as review proceeds. For a document hosted on the computer on which a page-turn request has been made, the page-turn request causes the computer to retrieve the relevant information from storage and change the representation on screen, and also to send the new page information to the other computers in the collaborative working environment. For a document hosted on another computer, the computer checks whether the new page data has already been transmitted thereto. If it has, then the computer uses this page data, if not, then it has to seek retrieval of the new page data from the hosting computer. Apparatus and methods are provided, said apparatus including a document store 104, local page store 106 for storing resultant information and a workspace manager 100 for constructing a GUI and sending page replacement information to other apparatus in the CWE. Apparatus is also provided with a document store 104, an incoming page store 110 for storing pages for display, and a workspace manager 100 for constructing a GUI and offering a user the selection of a page for display from the document store 104 and/or the incoming page store 110.

Title: Determining acceptable tape dimensional stability write conditions
Filed: 2013-02-19
Abstract: Described are embodiments of an invention for customizing the range of acceptable write conditions to a tape of a tape cartridge that contracts or expands laterally based on environmental conditions. The tape drive utilizes servo information to determine if the tape has expanded or contracted from the nominal dimension and to determine the magnitude of the expansion or contraction. In the case of expansion, the magnitude of the determined expansion and the stored maximum amount of contraction must be below a predetermined threshold value to allow a write. In the case of contraction, the magnitude of the determined contraction and the stored magnitude of expansion must be below the same predetermined threshold value to allow a write. If the determined magnitude of contraction or expansion is greater than the stored magnitude of contraction or expansion, respectively, then the new extreme is stored.

Patent GB-201319770-D0 (GB)
Title: A stair assistance device
Filed: 2012-06-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a new locking mechanism for The StairSteady, a device to provide assistance when ascending or descending stairs, for which there is an existing UK patent application (Patent GB2440387A).  (All numeric references refer to  Figure 1 , however the item numbers are common across all other diagrams.)  The existing StairSteady comprises of only two items, a handrail (6) and a handle bar (7). The handrail of predominantly hollow box section is secured to a wall by means of supports. Both ends of the handrail have a round section to allow the handle bar to fold away to prevent the obstruction of the stairs. The StairSteady also comprises a handle bar that protrudes at 90 degrees from the handrail; the said handle bar includes, at one end, a sleeve (8) that rides over the handrail. This sleeve houses the patented braking mechanism consisting of two materials with different coefficients of friction that was originally bonded directly to the internal surface of the sleeve. It is an alteration to this brake mechanism that is the subject of this patent.  The new development consists of two separate, dissimilar, replaceable pads assemblies 'A' and 'B' attached to the inner surfaces of the sleeve of the handle bar by means of double side adhesive tape (5) to allow maintenance.  Pad assembly 'A' ( figure 2 ) consists of a sprung steel backing plate (1) onto which are bonded, at opposite ends, two blocks of material with differing coefficient of friction (2 & 3).  Pad assembly 'B' ( figure 3 ) has a sprung steel protrusion (4) formed from the sprung steel backing plate; this spring takes up the 'free play' between the handrail (6) and the handle bar (7). Controlling the 'free play' in this way has been found to provide a superior user experience. To prevent damage to the handrail the sprung protrusion has a material with a low coefficient of friction (2) bonded to it, while the opposing end of the pad has a material with a high coefficient of friction (3) to act as a brake.  The end of pad assembly 'A' with the high coefficient of friction is placed opposite the spring end of pad assembly 'B' ( figure 4 ). This modification provides a number of improvements to the product:- 
1. By moving the friction materials on to separate backing plates and attaching them to the sleeve with a low adhesive bond like double sided tape allows relatively easy replacement if the braking mechanism shows signs of wear or damaged. 
2. The spring built into pad assembly 'B' ensures that the braking surfaces of both pads are held in contact with the handrail when the handle bar is at rest, thus keeping the handle bar locked when not being directly manipulated. 
3. The inclusion of the spring in pad assembly 'B' also provides an improved 'feel' to the handle when in operation.

Filed: 1979-12-24
Granted: 1984-04-19
Abstract: Goods are heated and moistened prior to addition of the sterilizing gas utilizing repressurization after initial evacuation to provide drive power for the conditioning vapour and improve conditioning efficiency. After initial evacuation to a selected subatmospheric pressure of 8 x 10<3> Pa level, the sterilizing chamber is repressurized with a conditioning vapour (steam) to a subatmospheric pressure level of 12 x 10<3> Pa corresponding approximately to desired sterilizing temperature, then the chamber is held with evacuating and vapour injecting interrupted for a predetermined interval; this sequence of steps is repeated a selected number of times; and conditioning to various sterilizing temperatures is available. Initial evacuation can be accompanied by intermittent injection of conditioning vapour. No chamber measurement of temperature or relative humidity is required for conditioning control and conditioning vapour injection is free of flow rate control requirements.

Title: Door with reduced swing clearance
Inventor: CHAUMAT BERNARD
IPC: E05F3/04
Filed: 1980-01-22
Granted: 1983-03-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a folding door of the kind having a primary panel pivoted about one axis on a frame, and a secondary panel articulated with respect to the primary panel and engaging a slide guide which is perpendicular to the pivotal axis of the primary panel. According to the invention, the two panels are articulated by links pivotally connected to each of the primary and secondary panels at second and third axes respectively, and the secondary panel engages the slide guide at a fourth axis located at an intermediate point along the panel, all the four axes being disposed centrally of the thickness of the panels; furthermore, the distance between the second and third axes is equal to the thickness of the panels, and the distance between the third and fourth axes is the same as between the first and second axes. With this construction, the door will open in a substantially smaller space than a conventional door and in addition it can be opened by a simple pushing action. The door is thus suitable for use by handicapped persons in e.g. hospitals and community homes.

IPC: B21B27/02
Filed: 1981-09-28
Granted: 1984-05-24
Abstract: A rolling stand has a conventional housing defining a pair of parallel and spaced axes defining a plane. Respective rolls have roll ends journaled in the housing at the axes and roll bodies axially symmetrical about the respective axes and having centered on the respective axes complementary roll-body surfaces of noncylindrical shape and each formed by rotation of a continuously curved generatrix about the respective axis. One of these contoured rolls is displaceable axially relative to the other roll from an end position to another position, and the roll-body surfaces form at the plane in the other position a uniform nip and in the end position a nonuniform nip. This system is set up to be able to displace one of the rolls axially relative to the other of the rolls between the end position and the other position. These contoured rolls may themselves define the nip, or may engage and deform other rolls that define it.
