Abstract: An actuating device can change a position of an active member that remains in substantially the same position in the absence of a force of a predetermined magnitude on the active member.  The actuating device comprises a shape-memory alloy actuating member for exerting a force when actuated by changing the temperature thereof, which shape-memory alloy actuating member has a portion for connection to the active member for exerting thereon a force having a magnitude at least as large as the predetermined magnitude for moving the active member to a desired position. Actuation circuitry is provided for actuating the shape-memory alloy actuating member by changing the temperature thereof only for the time necessary to move the active member to the desired position.  The invention is particularly useful for changing the position of a camber-adjusting tab on a helicopter rotor blade by using two shape-memory alloy members that can act against each other to adjust dynamic properties of the rotor blade as it is rotating.

Inventor: HEINEN THOMAS
IPC: A47F1/12
Filed: 1996-11-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a display system to display goods e.g. in a retail store in a well structured and ordered manner. The goods are horizontally stacked in the rack unit. A theft protection member is provided, which limits unauthorized access to the goods. Said theft protection member is adjustable in height thereby allowing the display unit to accommodate different sizes of goods. The goods are pushed forward by a slide member towards the front end of said rack unit, where items of said goods can be removed from said rack unit in small quantities. The rack unit is releasable mounted and secured by a lock, mechanism on a base member, which in turn is mounted on a rectangular bar. The rack unit can be released from said base member by means of a key. The slide member can be locked in a rear end position of said display unit, when the rack unit is removed from said base member. (Re-)filling of said rack unit with goods is easy without interference of said slide member. The height of said theft protection member is adjustable as well, when the rack unit is removed from said base member. When the rack unit is mounted on said base member again, the slide member is automatically released, thereby pushing the goods forward; and the theft protection member is locked at the selected height level.

Title: Web server mechanism for processing function calls for dynamic data queries in a web page
Inventor: STEWART GORDON GREGORY
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1996-12-05
Abstract: A web server computer system (100) includes a transaction processor (124) that reads a configuration file (128) to determine how to handle incoming function calls to retrieve dynamic data by querying a data source (132).      A number of language processors (130) are provided for handling the possible different types of function calls that query dynamic data. When a function call within a web page corresponding to a query for dynamic data is encountered, the transaction processor (124) determines from the configuration data which language processor (130) will handle this specific function call, and passes the function call to the appropriate language processor (130).      The language processor (130) processes the function call, generates the appropriate query, obtains the dynamic data from the appropriate data source (132), and passes the data back to the transaction processor (124). The transaction processor (124) then inserts the dynamic data into the web page to be sent to the reqesting user.
