Title: Methods and apparatus for accessing process control data
Inventor: GILBERT STEPHEN
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2005-05-04
Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for accessing process control data involve loading a client object and communicating a data access request from the client object to a real object configured to communicate with a server. The real object then communicates a query to the server based on the data access request and obtains process control data from the server in response to the query. The process control data is then mapped from a first data layout associated with a server schema to a second data layout associated with a client schema. The mapped process control data is then communicated to an application.

Title: Thermally stable cutting element with separate back and side support elements
Inventor: VORONIN GEORGIY
IPC: C22C26/00
Filed: 2006-11-01
Abstract: A thermally stable polycrystalline (TSP) construction 20 comprises a body comprising a polycrystalline ultra-hard material 22, which is free from catalyst material. A backside support member 24 is attached to a first region 32 of the body by braze material 50. A sidewall support member is attached to a second region 42 of the body and to the backside support member by braze materials. A further support element may be formed along part of the front side surface of the body. The construction provides improved bond strength between the polycrystalline body and the supporting substrate, which is normally weaker in the case of catalyst-free polycrystalline materials due to their poor wetability and differing coefficient of thermal expansion.

Title: HIPIMS with low magnetic field strength
Inventor: EHIASARIAN ARUTIUN P
IPC: C23C14/35
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: Method and apparatus for physical vapour deposition (PVD) and in particular high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) deposition. The apparatus and process provide for the creation of a weaker magnetic field in the region of the cathode which reduces the confinement of a significant part of the plasma near the target surface. By weakening the magnetic field strength in the region of the target, the deposition rate of materials at a substrate has been found to increase by a factor of 9 relative to that of conventional HIPIMS processes employing typical magnetic field strengths. The magnetic field strength of a tangential component of the magnetic field applied in the region of the target can be 40mT or less.

Title: Method and system for distributing data to mobile devices
Inventor: MYLLYNEN HARRI
IPC: H04M1/72445
Filed: 2004-09-13
Abstract: Distributing mobile applications, in particular advertisements on mobile terminals comprises a processing system and a software component having a plurality of operational statuses associated therewith. The software component is monitored so as to identify a trigger for a change from a first operational status to a second, different, operational status; responsive to said trigger, issuing a request message, the request message including a request for user data associated with the mobile terminal; arranging for the processing system to retrieve said user data and to transmit the same to an authentication system; and receiving an unlocking code from said authentication system and using the received unlocking code so as to change the operational status of the software component to the second operational status. The first and second operational statuses differ by virtue of the fact that the software component sends a visualization request to the processing system when operating according to the first operational status, whereas the software component suppresses any such visualization request when operating according to the second operational mode.
