Title: Method for detecting access of an object, computer thereof, and computer program
Inventor: OODAIRA REI
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2011-08-29
Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to efficiently access an object. The present invention provides: a method for detecting access of an object, a computer thereof, and a computer program. The method includes: a step for manipulating a pointer to an object to convert the pointer to a pointer indicating a read/write-protected area; and a step for using the fact that an exception is raised in response to an access request to the read/write-protected area in order to reverse-convert the converted pointer to the original pointer. Also, the reverse-converting step may include: a step for referring to the command that caused the exception to be raised and acquiring the manipulated pointer from the command that caused the exception to be raised; and a step for reverse-converting the acquired pointer, acquiring a pointer to the start of the object indicated by the reverse-converted original pointer.

Patent GB-2516485-A (GB)
Title: Projectile
Inventor: CLARKE ALLEN
IPC: F42B12/36
Filed: 2013-07-24
Abstract: A projectile comprises a jacket 2 of a malleable metal containing a pressed powder matrix 4 and holding at a forward end thereof a solid body 8. The projectile is configured such that, in use, on impact of the projectile with a target, the solid body 8 is forced rearwardly, relative to the direction of travel of the projectile, into the matrix 4. This causes the matrix 4 to break down into powder and the jacket 2 to deform to break open while remaining in one piece. The powder is ejected from the deformed jacket 2 with sufficient energy to cause trauma in the target while none of the components of the projectile has sufficient energy to escape from the target.

Title: System and method of varying dwell time in a honeycomb plate press
Inventor: CHAPIN WILLIAM K
IPC: B41F13/008
Filed: 2015-04-16
Abstract: A system and method of increasing a dwell time in a foil stamping press is provided. The dwell time is readily adjusted on the fly by the user for a given operating rate. A timer is used to adjust the press to stop on top dead center with changes in images per hour. An air clutch and an original equipment air brake are used in tandem to provide the desired dwell time. A pair of timers governs a pneumatic switch for control of the air clutch and the air brake. The present system and method increase die image area capacity as compared to conventional foil stamping presses. The increased dwell time of the present system and method yield a flawless foil stamped image for an impression pressure less than that required in a conventional machine for a given die, mounted at a given height upon a stationary platen, and at a given temperature.
