Abstract: A tire-handling apparatus is provided for moving a tire into and out of a tire processor, such as a tire-curing press. The apparatus utilizes tire-gripping means, such as a plurality of shoes (15), which may be moved between an extended and a retracted position for gripping and releasing the tire (T) respectively. Also included are operating means for properly operating the gripping means between their respective positions. The operating means include at least two cylinders (11,12) having piston rods extending from first ends thereof. The second ends of the cylinders are mounted in series to permit the shoes for mounting the tire to be easily extended and retracted without substantial tire deformation, regardless of the size of the tire.

Abstract: A thermal relief valve (10) for a gas cylinder (40) has a body (12) with an inner wall defining a passageway or bore (14) for flow of fluid between inlet (44) and outlet (42). A piston (16) within the bore moves between a first position arresting flow from inlet to outlet, and a second position permitting flow from inlet to outlet. A restricting assembly (28) for arresting movement of the piston towards the second position includes a thermal sensitive element (24) of suitable eutectic material at the bore inner wall, with protrusions (18) of the piston defining a first camming surface (22), and two or more restricting elements (28a-28d) defining a second camming surface (32) positioned to engage the first camming surface. The thermal sensitive element, at lower temperatures, maintains the second camming surface for engagement with the first camming surface, thereby to arrest movement of the piston, and, at higher temperatures, permits movement of the restricting elements into a position with the second camming surface spaced from engagement with the first camming surface, thereby to permit movement of the piston to release fluid.

Abstract: The invention catalogues data such as multimedia data. A catalogue is a collection of one or more catalogue elements. An index is used to access a catalogue. An element of a catalogue has one or more attributes. An attribute provides information that can be used to search for, answer questions about, and navigate through a catalogue. An attribute of a catalogue element can be an element that has attributes. A catalogue element attribute that is an element is referred to as an attribute element. Attribute elements and attributes are used to build an index that can be used to facilitate catalogue access. Within a catalogue, smaller catalogues can be created by, for example, querying and user designation.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for positioning characters within an
arbitrarily sized graphics window in order to maximize the distribution of unused
space. The method and system are particularly adapted for the redistribution of
characters produced during a terminal emulation session with another computing
system. Characters produced during the emulated session are adjusted to completely
fill the graphics window, regardless of its size. A fill justification procedure
distributes characters in areas within the graphics window that would otherwise appear
as gutters or margins. A character spacing unit maintains correct character image
proportions in the graphics window while not rigidly adhering to a uniform alignment
of character rows and columns. A linear distribution procedure allows the character
image to fill the graphics window completely with a natural appearance.

Abstract: A brake shoe assembly (14) includes a brake lining (26) and a housing (40)
of a brake lining wear and temperature sensor (36). The brake lining (26)
has a predetermined thickness which gradually wears away and increases in
temperature during a vehicle braking application. The housing (40) is positioned to wear
away and increase in temperature concurrently with the brake lining (26). An electrical
wear loop circuit (48) is encapsulated in the housing for directing power from a power
source (56) to a remote indicator (54) in response to a wear opening in the loop circuit (48). A
thermally sensitive switching element (50) is encapsulated in the housing (40) and connected in
electrical series with the wear loop circuit (48) for directing power from the power source (56) to
the remote indicator (54) in response to the temperature of the housing (40) exceeding a
predetermined temperature threshold. In a preferred embodiment, the switching
element (50) has a first resistance when the temperature of the housing (40) is below the
predetermined temperature threshold and a second resistance which approximates an
open circuit when the temperature of the housing (40) is above the predetermined
temperature threshold. Thus, when the temperature of the housing (40) is above the
predetermined temperature threshold, the second resistance of the switching element (50)
directs power from the power source (56) to the remote indicator (54).
