Patent NO-962317-D0 (NO)
Inventor: FIELD PETER H
IPC: E05B27/04
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: A hierarchical lock and key system includes a plurality of locks and keys wherein each key is provided with at least one unique bitting surface that engages a complementarily shaped tumbler pin tip to cause the tumbler pin to rotate and be positioned at a predetermined location. In one system, one key is provided with bittings to rotate the tumbler pins in a lock that is able to determine the rotational position of the tumbler pins. The one key may also operate a lock which does not determine the rotational position of the tumbler pins by positioning a tumbler pin at its proper elevation in the cylinder. Another key which has at least one different bitting from the one key will operate the latter lock (in which the tumblers do not have to be rotated). However, the other key will not operate the former lock because the bitting does not, properly rotate the tumbler pin to its unlocking location. The complementarily shaped contacting surfaces of the tumbler pin and key are generally sloped from one edge to an opposite edge in tapered form and may be flat, concave, convex, or a combination thereof.

IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to electronic monetary systems in general, and in particular to measures for making their use easier for an average user. The present invention is based on the idea that the use of electronic money is greatly simplified for a non-expert user, if the Internet Service Provider of the user takes care of the payments, and adds corresponding charges on the user's telephone bill. Such functionality requires the intervention of the ISP in the transmissions between a user and a third party, i.e. intercepting the electronic payment requests sent by a merchant. According to the present invention, the ISP uses electronic money on behalf of the user, and charges the payments on the user's telephone bill. The ISP can take care of all technical details necessary for obtaining different forms of electronic money in a centralized manner, and all users of the ISP can use the electronic money obtained by the ISP simply by allowing the ISP to add corresponding charges to their telephone bills. Further, the ISP can obtain all major forms of electronic money, whereafter a user can choose the most economical way of payment, if a merchant accepts payments in more than one form of electronic money. <IMAGE>

Title: Forming fabric with machine side layer weft binder yarns
IPC: D21F1/00
Filed: 2000-03-06
Abstract: A flat woven papermaker's forming fabric having a paper side layer and a machine side layer interconnected by pairs of machine side layer weft binder yarns. Each of the binder yarn pair members in sequence interlaces with a portion of the machine side layer warp yarns in segments of the weft yarn path so as to complete an unbroken weft path in the machine side layer weave pattern, and to provide an internal machine side layer float. Each of the binder yarn pair floats interweaves with a paper side layer warp yarn so as to bind the paper and machine side layers together. The location of the internal floats in each layer determines the available interweaving locations, not all of which need be used. A wider choice of possible paper and machine side layer weave design combinations is thus made available in forming fabrics, thereby allowing for a better match between the forming fabric and the paper maker's requirements.

Title: Traffic control system
IPC: G01S17/931
Filed: 2007-12-15
Abstract: A vehicle 1 has an inbuilt traffic control system comprising a main computer 4 which is connected for control purposes to a laser or radio device including an emitter and means for detecting a laser ray 6 or radio waves reflected from a vehicle 2 being followed. Control may be provided by a switch mounted on a steering wheel 3 and a speedometer 3, and the main computer 4 is also connected for control purposes to a carburetor 10, brake gear 9 and a speaker. The laser equipment located in the front part of the vehicle 5 measures the distance between the vehicles due to the laser ray 6. When the distance between vehicles 1,2 is reducing or increasing the computer sends a signal for braking or acceleration to the mechanisms installed in the brake gear 9 or in the carburettor 10. Automatic control is thus provided in situations such as traffic jams which can lead to driver tiredness. The system does not provide such automatic control under certain conditions such as when the speed of the host vehicle exceeds a defined threshold such as 70 km per hour or when the driver operates a pedal 12.
Patent GB-0813763-D0 (GB)
Title: Leaf seal
Filed: 2008-07-28
Abstract: A leaf seal 10 in a rotary machine is located between a higher pressure region 14 and a lower pressure region 16 of the machine. Blow-down forces are greater on the lower pressure side 16 of the leaf seal 10 than on its higher pressure side 14, resulting in greater inward deflection of the leaves 20 on the lower pressure side of the seal than on its higher pressure side, leading in turn to greater wear of the leaves and the contacting rotor surface 44 on the lower pressure side 16 of the seal. To counteract this, the free ends 36 of the leaves 20 can be given a tapered profile 42 to gradually reduce the length of each leaf 20 over its width ‘w’ from its higher pressure side 14 to its lower pressure side 16, so that the leaves 20 are free to deflect under the blow-down forces by the amount of their reduction in length (a maximum of ‘x’), before they contact the rotor surface. As an alternative to profiling the rotor-contacting ends 36 of the leaves, the leaf-contacting surface of the rotor can be given a tapered profile 46 in a minor-reversed version of the leaf-end profile 42.

Title: Thermal control units
IPC: H01H37/54
Filed: 1986-07-28
Abstract: An element protector control for protecting the electrically powered heating element of a kettle against overheating has primary and secondary (or back-up) modes of operation. The primary protection mode utilizes a dished, snap-acting bimetal (22) which is oriented so that the side of the bimetal which is convex when the blade is cold faces the heating element head (24), and the bimetal is held in close thermal contact with a rear surface of the element head. The bimetal determines the condition of a pair of switching contacts (32, 33) provided in the control. The bimetal is mounted in a carrier (21) which is spring biassed towards the element head and, for providing the secondary protection mode, the carrier is formed of a thermoplastics material so that in the event of failure of the primary protection in an overtemperature situation so that the element temperature continues to rise, the carrier will collapse towards the element head, and the collapse of the carrier is arranged to disconnect the control from its power supply terminals.

Title: Waterheater
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1992-12-18
Abstract: A waterboiler comprises 2 kW and 1 kW heating elements (11, 12 respectively) that together heat the water (2) to about 96 0 G, as sensed by a thermistor (14), whereupon the 2 kW element (11) cuts out and the water (2) is further heated to, and maintained at, water boiling point by the 1 kW element (12). The arrangement lessens the problems of cavitation noise and element scaling associated with prior waterboilers. In an alternative embodiment, the output of a single heating element is modulated by using a transformer to reduce the voltage in put. A water inlet has a solenoid valve (8) controlled by a reed switch (9) actuated by a magnetic float (9'). Another reed switch (10)/magnetic float (10') ensure that the healing elements (11, 12) cannot be energised until they are immersed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Screen printing stencils are produced by a positive-working method which involves no light-sensitive materials and does not require the use of safe lights. A coated receptor film 10' having a coating layer 11' and a support layer 12' is imaged using an ink-jet printer or plotter in areas 14' corresponding to the open stencil areas 19'. The film is then applied to a mesh 15' and an emulsion 16' applied. Chemical hardening of the emulsion takes place in the non-imaged areas. The stencil is then produced by removing the support layer 12' of the film and washing away the unhardened emulsion. The receptor film may include a layer which is incorporated into the stencil layer to form a profile 18'. In addition to screen production methods, coated films, coating compositions and compositions for imagewise application are disclosed. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
