Patent AU-3363400-A (AU)
Title: Data parsing system for use in electronic commerce
Inventor: CLARKE WILLIAM D
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: A parsing technique suitable for use in electronic commerce that avoids the disadvantages of known monolithic parsers. The parsing system generates code specific to each input document and data stream type, which may then be updated as needed to handle document-specific idiosyncrasies without requiring modifications to the core parser code. As a user (10) defines parsing rules for extracting data from a representative sample document (15), a visual trainer (16) automatically generates code in the background, referred to as a filer (17), that is specific to that document and that embodies the rules for extracting data from that particular document. The generated code may be modified manually (18) as needed to account for any idiosyncratic conditions associated with the document. Each representative document has associated with it its own filer. A parsing engine (20, 21) comprises a collection of such individual filers appropriate for the types of documents that arise in any given organization. A mapping or other association is maintained between representative document types and their filers. In regular operation, a user selects a data set to be extracted from certain documents. When the parsing engine receives a document in an input data stream, the associated filer is loaded and parses that document for the selected data set. Then another filer is loaded in response to another input document, and so on. The filers may be especially efficiently generated using an object-oriented approach and then dynamically instantiated at run time as may be conveniently achieved, for example, in the Java programming language.
Patent AU-3468093-A (AU)
Title: Touch panel for an acoustic touch position sensor
Inventor: KNOWLES TERENCE J
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 1993-01-07
Abstract: An acoustic touch position sensor is shown in which a transducer coupled to a side of a substrate imparts a shear wave into the substrate for propagation along a first axis. A reflective array is disposed along the first axis to reflect portions of the shear wave along a plurality of parallel paths extending across a touch surface of the substrate to a second reflective array the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the first reflective array. The second reflective array reflects the shear waves incident thereto to a transducer mounted on the side of the substrate and responsive to shear waves propagated thereto for providing a signal representative of these shear waves. A touch on the substrate results in a partial absorption of the energy in the shear wave so as to produce a perturbation therein which is sensed to determine the axial position of the touch on the substrate. In another embodiment of the present invention a laminated touch panel is provided such that a back plate of any desired thickness is bonded onto the touch substrate. A nonshear wave coupling adhesive may be used to bond the back plate to the substrate. Alternatively, the back plate may be chosen such that the velocity at which acoustic waves propagate in the back plate is greater than the velocity at which acoustic waves propagate in the substrate. The touch panels of any of the embodiments shown may include means for suppressing spurious acoustic waves.

Title: Piston for an extrusion container
Inventor: HOFFMANN ARMIN
IPC: B65D83/00
Filed: 1985-02-14
Abstract: A press-out piston is movably displaceable through an axially extending container holding a flowable plastic substance for dispensing the substance as the piston is forced through the container. The radially outer circumference of the piston has an annular groove in which an elastically deformable sealing ring is positioned. The base of the groove is conically shaped about the axis of the container and diverges outwardly toward the rear end of the container. When the piston is pressed toward the front end of the container for dispensing the substance, the sealing ring is moved axially relative to the piston and is pressed radially outwardly against the inside surface of the container. As a result, the seal for the piston is dependent on the pressure directed against the substance for dispensing it out of the container.
