Title: Apparatus for making crackers
IPC: B65B25/00
Filed: 1999-08-10
Abstract: Apparatus for making cracker comprises three distinct sections. In the first section cracker snaps are assembled into bandoliers (Figs. 2, 3), in the second section the snaps are glued to cracker blanks (Figs. 4-6) and in a third operation the blanks are formed into cylinders (Figs. 7, 8). To assemble the snaps into a bandolier, they are laid between projections (16, Fig. 3) and sandwiched between tapes (20, 22, Fig. 3) moved round on a cylindrical carrier (13, Fig. 3). Such a bandolier is fed to another cylindrical carrier (38, Fig. 6) and the leading snap is severed to drop between fingers (40, Fig. 6) of the carrier. Each snap is brought to the bottom of the carrier where a blank is raised so that the ends of the snap adhere to the blank. The blank with its snap is moved on underneath a tubular mandrel 50 which is lowered to bend the blank into U-section. Suction through apertures 51 in the mandrel retain the edge portions of the blank to the tube as they are successively bent over by arms 61 with rollers 65 to adhere together. The mandrel is then raised and the now cylindrical blank is removed by an endless belt 55 co-operating with the glued seam.
Patent GB-0423093-D0 (GB)
Title: Optical correlation apparatus and method
IPC: H04B10/516
Filed: 2004-10-18
Abstract: This invention relates to a pattern recognition correlator and method for correlating input data with one or more reference data sets. The input data, which may be for instance digital amplitude modulated optical data, is used to modulate an optical signal to form a phase modulated optical signal. This temporal phase modulated optical signal is then converted into a parallel optical phase signal, preferably through use of an optical delay, and modulated by an optical phase modulator. When there is a correlation between the input data and the reference data the emerging wavefront is plane and can be strongly coupled to a detector. In the absence of correlation the emergent wavefront is not plane and so is not coupled as strongly to the detector. The detector output can therefore be used as an indication of correlation.

Title: Method and apparatus for facilitating a persistence application programming interface
Filed: 2009-10-06
Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for implementing a persistence application programming interface (API) that is platform independent and can make up-calls to business logic. During operation, the system receives a request at the API to execute a command at a persistence tier of an n-tier distributed application. In response to the request, the system determines an entity type for an entity affected by the command. Next, the system identifies a function at a middle tier of the n-tier distributed application that is associated with the entity type and the command, wherein the middle tier includes the business logic. The system then sends an instruction to the middle tier to execute the function. Finally, upon receiving a confirmation at the API that the function executed, the system executes the command at the persistence tier.

Title: Pipe couplings
IPC: F16L47/02
Filed: 1991-03-28
Abstract: The invention relates to pipe couplings and particularly to the provision of a welded connection between adjacent pipe lengths (1, 2) of plastics material. In this regard such techniques as butt welding and electrofusion welding are widely known and practised, at their cost, but necessary when it is the supply of gas that is involved. The object of the present invention is to provide a welded connection suited to the less exacting conditions of pipe lines for trunking or for the supply of water, which objet is met by a method comprising locating over the adjacent ends of the pipe lengths, a coupling sleeve (3) of a coupling sleeve and the external diameters of the pipes being such that the coupling sleeve is a close sliding fit on the ends of the pipes, applying an external drive (6) to the coupling sleeve to rotate the coupling sleeve on the pipe ends at a rate such that heat generated by friction melts the interface between the coupling sleeve and the pipe ends, and whereby following cessation of rotation, and on cooling, an effective weld is formed between the coupling sleeve and each pipe end.

Date Mar. 18, 1993A marker gene for use in the genetic transformation of plants is driven by a promoter which is capable of acting as a callus-specific promoter, for example in monocotyledonous plants. A suitable promoter naturally drives the expression of a gene encoding a predicted 16.92 kDa protein after wounding and/or callus formation in Asparagus officinalis or an equivalent protein in other members of Liliaceae or Amaryllidaceae. A preferred embodiment is designated the AoPR1 promoter. Under the control of a promoter of the invention, the marker gene (which may for example be an antibiotic- or herbicide-resistance gene) is expressed strongly in wounded tissues and cells and cultured explants, but not constitutively throughout the whole plant. Such promoters may also be used to drive expression of genes in plant tissue culture.

Title: Propelled pyrotechnic decoy flare
IPC: C06B45/00
Filed: 1991-10-01
Abstract: An aircraft launched pyrotechnic decoy flare (1) which comprises a pellet (2) configured with a cavity (4) which extends along a fore-and-aft axis (8) of the pellet (2) and is vented at its rearward end (12). Part of the external surface of the pellet (2) is covered with a casing (16) to prevent combustion of said part of the surface. The pellet (2) is made of a gassy pyrotechnic composition including an organic binder, and an oxidizing halogenated polymer and an oxidizable metallic material which react with each other on ignition and emit infrared radiation. When the flare (1) is ignited the surface of the cavity (4) combusts and produces hot gaseous products which escape from the cavity (4) through the vent (22) thus propelling the flare (1) in a forwards direction. In this way the flare (1) can be propelled in the same direction as the aircraft to reduce the rate at which the flare (1) separates from the aircraft exhaust.
