Abstract: An improved web material dispenser that is designed to dispense web material, such as toilet tissue or the like. The dispenser is able to retain a roll containing tissue at a dispensing position until the tissue has been exhausted from the roll. The dispenser senses that the tissue is exhausted from the roll, and only then permits a reserve roll to be rotated into a dispensing position. Thus, the dispenser ensures that the tissue from each roll is used up before permitting access to a reserve roll. The invention also provides a new web material roll that utilizes a "double core", as well as a method of making the "double core".

Title: Automotive wiper assembly
Inventor: KIM TAE YOUNG
IPC: B60S1/38
Filed: 2007-04-04
Abstract: A vehicle wiper blade has a longitudinal stiffener mounted on the blade body at an offset angle from the central geometric plane of the blade edge, defined by the neck and wiping edge of the blade. When mounted in the presence of a wind stream flowing over the vehicular windshield, the protruding face surfaces of the stiffener function as an air dam to reduce lift-off effects, or as an airfoil to provide a supplemental pressure directing the wiper blade against the windshield. The proximity of the lower, forward edge of the blade to the windshield serves as an air dam. The upper trailing edge of the blade may be extended to serve as an airfoil.  Torque about the wiping edge is avoided by directing the wiper arm pressing force in alignment with the central geometric plane of the blade, and preferably through the neck portion of the blade.

Title: Method for determining the orientation of an antenna array
Inventor: HILL CRAIG D
IPC: G01S3/48
Filed: 2006-01-18
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to limit the number of possible phase ambiguity resolutions when taking measurements by means of satellite-aided positioning systems. Said aim is achieved by a method which allows the search sector to be better restricted. To this avail, information about the geometry of an antenna array is used for establishing restrictions for said antenna array. Said restrictions allow the search sector and thus the number of acceptable resolutions to be successively reduced. A restriction comprises the utilization of the connecting line between two antennas (A0, A1) that define a primary base line (S01). An additional, secondary base line (S0x) can be calculated by inventively parameterizing the degree of rotational freedom of said secondary base line (S0x) about the primary base line (S01) such that the process is accelerated.
