IPC: B27D1/04
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: A method for increasing strength and/or reducing strength variations in multi-layer wood, plywood, or the like sandwich material having a multiplicity of laminated wood veneers, the method comprising: measuring individual wood veneers for dry substance density, as well as for longitudinal and lateral distributions thereof, with high-frequency electromagnetic resonance; sorting wood veneers on the basis of dry substance density for at least two different density categories, the dry substance density in a first density category being higher than in a second density category; laying wood veneers on top of each other for building multi-layer wood, plywood, or the like sandwich material consisting of a multiplicity of laminated wood veneers, such that veneers included in the first density category are placed as surface veneers, and veneers included in the second density category are placed as inner or middle veneers.  The method further includes analysing the homogeneity and/or grain structure of individuals wood veneers from a large number of various points on a wood veneer surface on the basis of the optical reflectivity of the surface represented by its darkness; and when the optical reflectivity indicates in an individual wood veneer: (i) a plurality of local first regions, which are substantially darker than a predominant darkness of the surface of a veneer/veneers, the calculated dry substance density value of the wood veneer in question is established for a sorting process to be lower than its initial measured value; or (ii) a substantially uniform darkness in comparison with the predominant darkness of a veneer surface, the longitudinal and lateral distribution of dry substance density in the wood veneer in question is evaluated, and, if those are essentially uniform, the calculated dry substance density value of the wood veneer in question is established for a sorting process to be higher than its initial measured value; as well as sorting the wood veneers on the basis of the calculated values for the at least two density categories of discontinuities and/or short gaps lengthwise of timber.

Title: Feedback loop for spam prevention
Inventor: ROUNTHWAITE ROBERT L
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2004-02-25
Abstract: A feedback loop system and method that facilitates classifying items in connection with spam prevention in server and/or client-based architectures is disclosed. The invention makes use of a machine-learning approach and is applied to spam filters. In particular, the system randomly samples incoming email messages so that examples of both legitimate and junk/spam mail is obtained to generate sets of training data. Users who are identified as spam-fighters are asked to vote on whether a selection of their incoming email messages is individually either legitimate or junk email. A database stores the properties for each mail and voting transaction such as user information, message properties and content summary, and polling results for each message, to generate training data for machine learning systems. The machine learning systems facilitate creating improved spam filter(s) that are trained to recognise both legitimate mail and spam mail and to distinguish between them.

IPC: F26B13/10
Filed: 2004-02-03
Abstract: A method of curing a water-borne paint that has been applied as a liquid onto a substrate and forms a paint coating on the substrate is disclosed. The method includes heating the coated substrate to and holding it at a temperature that is below (but preferably no more than 5-10 DEG below) the boiling point of water in the paint and evaporating an amount of the water in the paint from the paint so that there are substantially no surface defects in the form of blisters in the resultant paint coating that are caused by water in the paint boiling during a subsequent curing step (also known as "solvent boil" or "water boil"). The method also includes heating the substrate in a subsequent curing step to a higher temperature than the evaporation temperature of the preceding step and curing the paint. Figure 1 is a flow chart illustrating a production line from a metal coating and thereafter a water-borne paint coating on a steel strip. Steel strip is uncoiled from a coiler (3) and continuously fed through a metal coating section (5), a paint applicator section (7), and a curing section (9).
