Title: An autoconfigurable method and system having automated downloading
Inventor: BEYDA WILLIAM J
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1998-01-20
Abstract: A method of upgrading a system, such as a computer, that supports a variety of devices includes locating and identifying a first supported device and determining location information related to a remote site at which device- level software is stored. The determination of location information is an automated response to identifying the first device and the device-level software at the remote site is specific to the identified device. The remote  site is automatically accessed via transmission lines. The device-level sotfware is then downloaded from the remote site to the system. In the preferred embodiment, the automated process that frees the user from intervention is carried to the installation of the downloaded software and t he autoconfiguration of system resources. For personal computers, the downloade d software is typically driver software.

Title: Coarse dirt collector for removing coarse material from a pulper and corresponding method
Inventor: CARRA ROLAND
IPC: D21B1/34
Filed: 1999-06-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a coarse dirt collector that has to carry out only one movement between its collecting and unloading position and unloading can take place automatically without need for a special scraping device. The coarse dirt collector comprises a collecting basket consisting of a frame on which tines are fixed by means of a grid. Because of the position of the tines there is no risk of undesirable loss of coarse material prior to unloading. This minimizes the mechanical and control-engineering related complexity of the device provided for by the invention in relation to the prior art and reduces the raking process cycle time. The coarse dirt collector is constructed such that it has as large a capacity as possible for the collection of coarse material. The coarse dirt collector also makes it possible selectively to remove only light-weight coarse material from the pulper.

Abstract: Methods and compositions relating to solubilization of alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactants in detergent formulations. Addition of one or more polyethylene glycols to detergents including low 2-phenyl linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactants may be used to increase solubility of the low 2-phenyl linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactants. Increased solubility of the low 2-phenyl linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactants serves to lower the cloud point of the detergents, permitting formulation of liquid detergent compositions containing greater concentrations of low 2-phenyl linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactants.

Title: Safety-lock for multi-position window
Inventor: MANZELLA FRANCIS
IPC: E05D15/526
Filed: 2001-03-13
Abstract: A safety-lock mechanism for use with a multi-position window having a stationary window frame, a sash window frame positioned within the stationary window frame and selectively pivotable out of the stationary window frame about a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, and a drive train positioned between the sash window frame and the stationary window frame, the drive train being moveable between at least a first position which enables the sash window frame to be pivoted about the horizontal axis and a second position which enables the sash window frame to be pivoted about the vertical axis. The safety-lock mechanism includes a spring--biased pin provided on the sash window frame. The pin has a proximal end, a distal end, a locked position and an unlocked position, and is normally biased in the locked position. An aperture is provided within the drive train and is configured to receive the proximal end of the pin. In the locked position, the proximal end of the pin extends into the aperture so as to prevent movement of the drive train from the first position into the second position. When the pin is placed in the unlocked position, the drive train is capable of being moved from the first position into the second position, thereby allowing the sash window frame to be pivoted about the vertical axis.
