Inventor: HEBERT THOMAS K
IPC: B65H19/28
Filed: 2000-09-28
Abstract: A media receiving cassette is disclosed for use in a system in
which a web of media is transferred from a supply cassette to the
receiving cassette. The media receiving cassette includes a
housing, a rotatable core, and a spring biased grasping mechanism.
The housing includes first and second opposing ends, and at least
one of the ends includes a generally circular track therein that
includes an extended portion which extends radially outwardly. The
rotatable core is coupled to the first and second opposing ends of
the housing such that an axis of rotation of the core extends
through each of the first and second ends. The spring biased
grasping mechanism is attached to the rotatable core via at least
one spring. The grasping mechanism includes a tracking member that
engages the generally circular track such that the grasping
mechanism is permitted to move radially outwardly away from the core
when the tracking member is positioned in the extended portion of
the generally circular track to thereby permit the media to be
received in the core. The grasping mechanism is permitted to move
radially inwardly toward the core when the tracking member is
positioned in a location other than in the extended portion of the
generally circular track.

Abstract: A method for making a cold water soluble black tea extract. The
method involves extracting tea solids from black tea leaves using
an extraction liquid to provide a whole tea extract, oxidising the
whole tea extract under superatmospheric pressure and at a
temperature above 60°C to provide a cold water soluble liquor,
cooling the cold water soluble liquor to precipitate any residual
cold water insoluble material, and separating the residual cold
water insoluble material from the cold water soluble liquor to
give the cold water soluble black tea extract. A method for
making a cold water soluble black tea powder is also described.

Abstract: A security system for an automotive vehicle (10) including a positioning device (20) which, in co-operation with a Global Positioning System ("GPS") satellite network (18) provides location information regarding the vehicle's position. The security system further includes a passive operator identification device (24) having a first security code and a theft control unit (22) including memory (29) storing a second security code. The passive operator identification device (24) and the theft control unit (22) work together to ensure the vehicle operator is authorised to operate the vehicle (10). An event detector communicates with the theft control unit (22) to provide an event signal associated with the vehicle such as vehicle movement. If an event signal is received by the theft control unit (22), and the first and second security codes are not equal, the theft control unit (22) communicates the vehicle position as determined by the position detector (20) to a monitoring station (14). The monitoring station (14) could be the local police department, a security service firm, or the vehicle owner's residence, for instance.

IPC: G06Q10/10

Abstract: The flow of work items (40) through a workflow process (50) is
optimized by repeatedly reordering (FIG. 3) work items enqueued in inbox
queues (21) of workflow process tasks (500) to maximize results
according to a given business strategy expressed through target
completion times and deviances therefrom. Each work item in an inbox
queue has an associated in-queue rating (IQR 28) that represents the
number of queue positions (23) that the work item can be retarded or
needs to be advanced to meet its target task start time (TTST 31), target
task completion time (TTCT 32), and/or target workflow completion time
(TWCT 30). When a work item enters a queue, its IQR is computed (FIG.
2) as (a) either (i) the difference between TTST 31 and EWT of that work
item, or (ii) the difference between TTCT 31 of this work item and the sum
of the estimated wait time in the queue (EWT) of this item and the average
handling time of a work item (AHT) by a task station (11) of this task, and
(b) the resulting difference divided by the rate of advance of calls between
queue positions (QAT 26) of that queue rounded down. An optimization
function is then performed (404) on the queue to determine an order of the
enqueued work items that optimizes a metric of those work items that may
fail to meet their target times. For example, the order may be one that
minimizes the number of the work items that will fail to meet their target
completion times (those that have a negative IQR), or one that minimizes
the amount of time by which the failing work items will exceed their target
completion times. The work items in the queue are then reordered (406)
accordingly. Whenever a work item changes its queue position, its IQR is
recomputed (FIG. 4) as the sum of its present IQR and the number of
positions that the work item has either advanced (a positive number) or
been retarded (a negative number) in that queue.

Abstract: A direct injection type internal combustion engine control
apparatus is capable of increasing the frequency of performing the
compression-stroke fuel injection following an automatic start of
the engine by maintaining a sufficient fuel pressure for the
compression-stroke injection even after the engine has been
stopped by an automatic stop function. When an immediately-before-automatic-stop
flag XPREEC="ON", the control apparatus sets
the control duty of an electromagnetic spill valve (55) to 100 (%)
to raise the fuel pressure P immediately before the automatic stop.
As a result, after the engine (2) stops, the fuel pressure starts
to decrease from a high pressure P, so that there will be a long
time before the fuel pressure decreases to a level that makes it
impossible to perform appropriate fuel injection into the
combustion chamber during the compression stroke. Therefore, the
possibility of performance of the compression-stroke injection
immediately following an automatic start is increased, and the
frequency of performing the compression-stroke injection is
increased. Thus, sufficient improvements in fuel economy and the
like can be achieved.
