Abstract: Graphic User Interface for Data Processing Device A handheld data processing device ( 82 ) has a touch-sensitive display screen ( 84 ) and interface means for generating a graphic user interface (GUI) on the screen, the GUI having one or more image elements ( 88, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102 ), each representing an input. The screen ( 84 ) generates a control signal corresponding to an input in response to a portion of the screen on which an image element ( 88, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102 ) representing said input is displayed being touched by a user of the device. The device has processing means for processing the control signal. The interface means is operable to locate the image elements ( 88, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102 ) on an accessible portion of the screen ( 84 ) so that in use the image elements are within reach of a digit ( 90 ) of a hand in which the device is held. The image elements may, for example, be located in a fan in a corner of the screen, or in linear fashion along the edges of the screen.

Abstract: A selective inhibition of sintering (SIS) technique may be used to fabricate a three-dimensional (3-D) dense metal object from a binderless metal powder. Layers of metal powder are provided on a build tank. For each layer, regions of the layer are sinter-inhibited, e.g., by depositing a sinter-inhibiting material such as a ceramic slurry, a metal salt, or oxidizing metal particles in the powder using chemicals or a concentrated heat source. Each layer may be compacted before the next layer is provided. A final compact may then be sintered. Unwanted sintered sections may be removed from the compact at boundaries formed by the sinter-inhibited (unsintered) regions, and the object extracted.

Abstract: Erosion-resistant liquid/liquid hydrocyclone liners, wherein the weight and cost of the liners are kept within acceptable parameters through the construction of a composite hydrocyclone liner, comprised of two or more different materials. The hydrocyclone liner includes a head section that is fashioned, primarily, of a highly erosion-resistant material, such as tungsten carbide. The liner also includes a separate separation section that is primarily fashioned of a material that may be less erosion-resistant but which is less brittle and more physically durable than that used to construct the head section. As a result of this composite construction, the liner is less likely to fail mechanically during installation or use. The head and separation sections are removably affixed to one another. The separation section of the hydrocyclone liner is provided with one or more structural supports to provide mechanical strength and resistance to bending. A liner is also described having a removable involute insert of highly erosion resistant material. <IMAGE>
