Title: Handle assembly for a self propelled upright vacuum cleaner
Inventor: FREDERICK LYNN A
IPC: A47L9/32
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: A user attachable handle assembly is provided for a self propelled upright vacuum cleaner of the type having a motor for driving a drive wheel, and a transmission for selecting forward reverse or neutral drive positions, the transmission being operated by longitudinal movement of the handle. In the embodiment the transmission is connected to the handle via a Bowden cable 18 which terminates in a mushroom shaped head 34. The attachable handle 42 has a T-shaped recess 70 into which this mushroom head fits. To attach the handle it is moved into position along an axis which is at right angles to the general longitudinal axis of the bag housing of the vacuum cleaner whereupon the mushroom slots into the T-shaped recess. This has advantages over prior art methods where the handle moved longitudinally and engaged the transmission control member, sometimes pushing it out of it's finely adjusted position. To ensure accurate location of the handle part, flanges 104 on the handle engage grooves 40 in the housing to which it is attached. The handle has a grip part 14 which slides telescopically within a stem part 16 and it is the movement of the grip part which actuates the Bowden cable 18.
Patent GB-2353616-A (GB)
Title: Event history processing for batch processes
Inventor: WILSON GRANT
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: Batch event historian methods and associated structure for gathering, storing and presenting data regarding a batch process where relationships among the various elements of data are automatically derived by an executive program. A persistent store includes structure corresponding to the relationships defined among procedural elements and equipment in accordance with batch processing industry S88.01 standards. The executive program gathers event information generated by the batch process and derives the relationships among the events in accordance with these industry standard models. Storage and corresponding retrieval and presentation of such historical data is simplified for a user because the user need not manually configure the historian programs to derive the relationships. A graphical user interface presents the information as timeline Gantt charts to permit a user to easily switch between views of data and the procedural hierarchy associated with the data. The hierarchical relationship among several procedural elements may be viewed by simple clicking on the higher level elements. Drilling down on higher-level elements reveals lower level stored data associated with the higher level elements. The graphical interface also permits viewing of data as associated with equipment related to the operation of particular procedural elements, permits two batch processes to be visually compared to rapidly identify differences therebetween, and permits the scrolling of real time event information and continuous data as the batch is being processed.

Title: Transcoding web based content from one format to another
Inventor: DUTTA RABINDRANATH
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: A proxy server receives a request for content from a client machine. The proxy server retrieves the content from an originating server in a first format. If an increase in efficiency would be obtained by allowing the client to process the content in the first format prior to translating it into a second format, then the content is sent to the client in the first format. Furthermore, if the client does not have the software to process the content in the first format or convert the content into a second format, the proxy server also sends the processing or converting software to the client. The proxy server then translates the content from the first format into the second format and sends it to the client.

Title: Bait stop
Inventor: TAYLOR JOHN NOEL
IPC: A01K91/06
Filed: 2001-03-27
Abstract: A bait stop C is a device which prevents big or hard bait from being lost from the angling rig. Such bait is not attached directly to the hook, but to a hair. A hair is a loop of line which is attached to the end of the anglers line, and which supports the bait alongside or below the hook. The bait stop is tied directly on to the hair becoming part of the end tackle. In use the bait stop is pulled through the bait with the use of a bait needle or hook E. In the case of hard bait, the bait will need to be drilled prior to fixing to the line. It is envisaged that the bait stop will be available in differing shapes and forms to suit the types of bait being used.
