Abstract: The present invention provides a tent frame comprised of support frames having a side support and roof support. The spans of the support frames can be adjusted perpendicular to the ridge line without substituting structural members of different length. The tent frame of the present invention can be adjusted in a lateral distance by adding or removing support frames or by altering the distance between individual support frames. The present invention is also advantageous in that the tent frame is adaptable on uneven terrain and is capable of following irregular ground contour, without delay in erection or changes in length and details in the structural members or components. A canopy can be provided on either the inside or overtop of the tent frame. Providing the canopy on the inside of the tent frame is advantageous because adjustments to the span of a support frame of the tent frame does not require a subsequent adjustment to the canopy size. The length of the tent covered by the canopy can also be adjusted by longitudinally sliding the canopy in a direction parallel to the ridge line of the tent frame. Also the canopy can be attached to the frame to cover the whole area or only partially cover the area under the tent, or can be removed fully.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for discharging material at spaced intervals each provide a conveying tube and a conveying mechanism for moving material from a first end of the tube toward a second opposite end. Discharge openings are provided spaced along the tube at different heights thereon. Openings near the first end are at a higher elevation on the tube than those near the second end, corresponding to downward slope of material upon initial entry and conveyance within the tube. The decreasing elevation of discharge openings and corresponding slope of material act to delay discharge near the first end, by requiring a build up of material height to reach the opening, and hasten discharge near the second end, by eliminating the need to fill drop tubes or metering devices before conveying material further along the tube. This reduces lag time between progressive discharge openings thereby providing more even material distribution therefrom.

Abstract: A method is described for writing an audio/video information stream to an optical disc (2), and for reading the information from disc. The information stream comprises a plurality of alternative video parts (VS 1; VS2; VS3) which are recorded in an interleaved manner; an interleaved unit (IU(i)) comprises a plurality of angle blocks (ABj(i)), each angle block (ABj(i) comprising one portion (VSj(i)) of each of the alternative video stream parts (VSj). For each video portion, a plurality of entry points (EP) are defined. A user is allowed to change from one video stream (VS2) to another video stream (VS 1; VS3) at any moment during the playback of a video portion; the change will be effected at the first entry point after the user command. Thus, it is not necessary to wait until the video portion has been completely played back; thus, it is possible to define large angle block lengths, so that during normal play the jump frequency is reduced.
