Abstract: The present invention relates primarily to the field of Locksmithing, wherein key bittings are cut to specific depths so that they will operate only those locks for which they are intended. It is often necessary to decode a key to ascertain the depths of its bittings. The customary means of decoding employ:   1. A flat metal gauge, precut with gaps representing the lock manufacturer's specified depths.   2. A micrometer, the measurements from which being referred to a manufacturer's depth conversion table.   3. A propriety device such as HPC's "Pocket Size Decoder Kit", which indicates depths by manufacturer's code.   There is a clear need within the Locksmithing industry for an improved means of decoding key hitting depths by both manufacturers' code numbers and by direct measurement.   The invention herein disclosed provides a practical means of accurately determining key bitting depths both by manufacturers' codes and by direct measurement.

Title: Unordered relational database retrieval returning distinct values
Inventor: FINLAY IAN R
IPC: G06F16/28
Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: The retrieval of distinct tuples in a relational database management system.  In response to a request from a consumer process for distinct tuples in a relational database table matching a defined criteria, a distinct operator component sequentially requests tuples from a source component. The source component access the database table and returns a tuple in the sequence to the distinct operator component. The distinct operator component passes each tuple in the sequence to an auxiliary logger. The auxiliary component receives a tuples from the distinct component and determines if it is distinct from other previously received tuples in the sequence to verify its uniqueness to the distinct operator. Tuples that are verified as unique by the auxiliary logger are returned to the consumer process by the distinct operator upon verification.

Patent CA-2359063-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PETTICREW RICHARD
IPC: A61C5/77
Filed: 1995-05-10
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a process for the formation of dental restorations from glass-ceramic materials and the resulting dental restorations. In this invention, a dental restoration is prepared by placing a glass-ceramic material in a heat-pressure deformable crucible. Heat is then applied to the crucible in order to bring the glass-ceramic material to a working range at temperatures above its liquidus temperature. The crucible in which the glass-ceramic material is placed has heat-pressure deformation properties which are matched to the working temperature of the glass-ceramic material being heated. The heat deformation properties of the crucible must be such that when the glass-ceramic material in the crucible is in the working range the crucible is heat-pressure deformable without rupturing. Once the glass-ceramic material is heated to its working temperature, the crucible is brought into contact with a mold having a preformed cavity therein, the cavity being in the shape of the desired dental restoration. As the distance between the heated glass-ceramic material and the mold is decreased, the crucible is deformed to form a seal with the mold thereby facilitating the injection of the molten glass-ceramic material into the mold cavity. An interactive seal between the crucible and the mold may be provided for. The composite process may be carried out in a vacuum. The resulting dental restoration has superior optical esthetic and strength properties. The invention further includes the heat-pressure deformable crucible which is useful in the process of this invention and the related apparatus.

Title: Management of certificates for public key infrastructure
Inventor: BOBBITT MICHAEL A
IPC: H04L9/30
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: Management of ciphertext devaluation in public key infrastructure is addressed by providing system and method using a certificate having a validity dependent on the amount of ciphertext associated with the certificate, i.e. a ciphertext limited certificate (CLC). Thus when the amount of ciphertext reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, the certificate is invalid. The CCE may be expressed as a non critical extension to a X.509 certificate to allow for interoperability with conventional validity conditions based on validity period or revocation. Ciphertext limited certificates may be implemented in an X.509 standard environment based on a method of assigning and determining a certificate ciphertext entitlement (CCE), calculating a generated Ciphertext index (CGI) and performing a CCE threshold detection, and when the GCI reaches or exceeds the CCE, causing a key update, e.g. a rollover of the certificate.      Assurance levels may be set based on assigning different CCE default values.

Inventor: WYATT ROY
IPC: G09G3/00
Filed: 2000-03-02
Abstract: A taxi has four radially extending arrays of LEDs (38A  to 38D) mounted one on each hub cap. A local receiver (32A to 32D) in each hub cap receives data representing a desired image from a local transmitter (24) and stores it in a local memory (34A to 34D). A local control unit (36A to 36D) in each hub cap selectively energises the LEDs in the associated array (38A to 38D) in the required sequence (as the hub cap rotates) to produce an apparent image corresponding to the desired image. A central control station (2) supplies data representing the desired image to a receiver (14) in the taxi.  This data is only stored in an associated store (20) when a gate (18) responds to a code in the transmitted data corresponding to that particular taxi. The stored data is then downloaded from the memory by the local transmitter (24).

Title: Diamond tool
Inventor: YOON SO YOUNG
IPC: B24D5/06
Filed: 2002-02-25
Abstract: A segment type diamond tool, used for cutting or drilling brittle substances, such as stones, bricks, concrete structures, or asphalt structures, is disclosed. In the diamond tool, the segments are each set with diamonds in a single-layered structure or a multi-layered structure, and are alternately or intermittently arranged on a steel core, different from conventional diamond tools having segments randomly set with diamonds. Such a diamond arrangement of this invention allows the diamonds to more effectively perform their cutting action, and so the diamond tool has an increased cutting rate, in addition to reducing the amount of fine debris generated during a cutting or drilling process to ill-affect worker's health or cause environmental pollution. In the segments each set with diamonds in the single-layered or multi-layered structure, the diamond arrangement is designed such that the diamonds of each trailing segment form grooves on the surface of a brittle substance along the lands between grooves previously formed on the surface of the brittle substance by the diamonds of a leading segment.
