Title: Guide device for a turbine with a vane support and a method of manufacturing said guide device
Inventor: BACHINGER WERNER
IPC: F01D9/02
Filed: 1996-12-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a guide device for a turbine with a vane support (1a, 1b) which is fitted in a turbine housing, preferably a steam turbine housing, and provided with vanes (2). Positioning elements (5a, 5b) are provided for positioning and securing the vanes on the vane support (1a, 1b) and keep the vanes (2) in a specified fitted position. To simplify the manufacture of guide devices of this type, it is proposed that the two halves of a vane ring (5) which divides in the region of the turbine housing join should serve as positioning elements (5a, 5b). The vane ring (5) is provided with radially extending profiled perforations (10) into which the vane foot (6) of each vane (2) is inserted. At least one first securing element (7) is provided; this is preferably detachable and secures each vane foot (6) on the appropriate vane ring (5). Also provided is at least one second securing element (8) which secures each of the two halves of the vane ring (5) on the vane support (1).

Title: A water drainage flap for a shower door
Inventor: WESTMORELAND BOB
IPC: E06B7/20
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: A flap 17,18 and 19 for a pivoting shower door 1. The flap pivots from a vertical position, when the door is shut, to a horizontal position, when the door is open. The upper surface of the flap is adapted to receive water drips when the flap is horizontal and allow them to drain away when the flap is vertical. So when the door is open the flap is horizontal and prevents water from dripping on the floor but when the door is closed the flap tips to the vertical and allows any water collected to drain into the shower tray.

Title: Thin film actuated mirror array in an optical projection system and method for manufacturing the same
Inventor: JUNG SANG CHOL
IPC: G02B27/18
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: Thin film AMA in an optical projection system and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The thin film AMA has a substrate (100) having an electrical wiring and a connecting terminal, a supporting element formed on the substrate (100), an actuator formed on the supporting element, and a reflecting member formed on the actuator. The actuator has a maximum length (L) in order to have a large tilting angle (0), so the reflecting member installed on the actuator has tilting angle (0). Hence, the light efficiency of the light reflected by reflecting member increases and the contrast of the picture projected onto a screen also increases. As a result, the quality of the picture is enhanced. Furthermore, the distance between a light source and the screen is wider because the actuator has a large tilting angle (0).

Title: Transaction system involving analysis of requests as either actionable or deferrable
Inventor: HOUBART HANAFI
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: A system for processing requests in a request- response client-server computer network is provided including a request qualifier for qualifying each received request as either an actionable request for which action should be taken and a response issued, or a deferrable request for which action should be delayed and a response deferred until an actionable state is reached. This allows a decision to be taken at the server as to whether a requesting client requires data immediately, or whether a response at a later time, such as notifying a change in data, is appropriate. When appropriate, responses are provided allowing clients to keep an up to date view of shared data. The system is particularly applicable to a transaction system e.g. an online auction, and in particular to a transaction system operating across the Internet or a network running Internet Protocol. The invention overcomes problems with push technology and does not require modifications to HTTP protocol.

Title: Improvements relating to computer 3D rendering system
Inventor: ASHTON MARTIN
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 1995-01-31
Abstract: An apparatus for shading a three dimensional image for display on a screen operates by first supplying data defining a group of infinite surfaces representing each object in the image. A depth value is generated for each surface for each elementary area of the display in dependence on the distance of that surface from an image plane. The apparatus then determines whether or not any surface is visible at that elementary area. One or more objects may be designated as a light volume. A depth value is determined for each surface of the light volume for each elementary area of the display in dependence on distance of that surface from an image plane. The elementary area of the display is then shaded in dependence on the object surface visible at that elementary area and its location in relation to the light volume. To facilitate easier processing of the shading the display may be sub-divided into a plurality of sub-regions. The size of the sub-regions is dependent on the complexity of the image of each area of the screen. Preferably the determination of the depth values for surfaces for groups of pixels in one sub-region is interleaved with the determination of depth values for surfaces for groups of pixels in other sub-regions. The apparatus performing the processing comprises a plurality of groups of processing elements for determining depth values for surfaces in the image for each elementary area of the display. Each group of processing elements has an associated cache memory means for storing defining the various surfaces in the image. The groups of processing elements are coupled together by a bus. Data read from the associated memory of the first group of processing elements is transmitted via the bus to other groups of processing elements for the determination of depth values until all data from the first associated memory means has been read. Reading of data then takes place from the associated memory means from a second group of processing elements and so on.
