Title: Delivering customised online services to mobile users
Inventor: DURI SASTRY S
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: A mobile end-user selects a number of required services provided by individual service providers and prepares a composite request for these services. The composite request is transmitted to an agent program running on a remote server for execution. The method allows a mobile user to access online services in disconnected mode. In the embodiment the mobile user builds a custom request to fetch a report, print it and deliver it to a third party. The mobile user selects the services of three individual service providers which are offered in the form of eEnvelopes. The mobile user prepares a further eEnvelope containing the selected eEnvelopes and instructions to and address of a personal enterprise agent on a remote server. The mobile sends the eEnvelope to the agent thus contracting out the administrative and coordination responsibilities.

Title: Methods and systems for bioremediating contaminated soil
Inventor: BOVA JOHN CARL
IPC: B09C1/06
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: A system and method for remediation of contaminated soil removed from a soil site is provided. The contaminated soil is placed upon several layers of perforated heating pipes forming a remediation cell, and the entire cell is covered by a galvanized Quonset Hut-shaped steel building to prevent the escape of vapors from the soil cell. Heating air introduced into perforated heating pipes heats conductively the contaminated soil creating a differential pressure area around the heated pipes. This results in the migration of volatilized contaminants and moisture through the perforations in the pipe walls and into the lower pressure area within the heated steel pipes, forcing the contaminants from the soil and into an off-gas treatment system.

Abstract: A transit and display carton comprises side walls 18/19/20/21 and a base, one of the side walls 21 comprising a display aperture defined by a cut-line 33 which, during assembly of the carton, is closed off by the re-orientation of part of this same side wall to locate another part 42 of the panel in a position in which it closes the display aperture. The aperture may be closed by a hinged panel which pivots relative to the remainder of the side, the pivoting motion locating this panel immediately behind the aperture. The closure panel 42 may be pivotable around one or more crease lines 36/37 and may be removed, along these crease lines, to create a display carton. The carton may include a flap portion or portions 23/24/25 to form a top for the carton and the panel may further comprise a flap 46 to support this carton top. Also claimed is a blank for such a carton. In use, the carton is particularly suited for the transit and display of consumable items for sale at supermarkets.
Patent GB-2366121-A (GB)
Title: Generating summary data for a plurality of records
Inventor: BROWN RONALD
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: Summary data of some event, such as traffic data for a computer or communications network, is stored in tables having different temporal resolutions. For example a first table may contain summary records of traffic flow at hourly intervals and a second table summary records of traffic flow at daily intervals. The data from a succession of records is summed to determine traffic flow over a requested period of time. The records are selected from the table which has the lowest temporal resolution allowing the requested start time or the end time of the previous record summed in the succession to be matched. The process is repeated until sufficient records have been summed to cover the requested time period. The arrangement reduces the number of records which have to be accessed to cover the requested time period.

Title: Reverse toreque blocking coupling
Inventor: MONTANANA RAUL
IPC: F16D41/07
Filed: 2001-04-27
Abstract: The coupling comprises cylindrical fixed part 114 within which input 110 and output 112 parts rotate. The input part comprises shaft 152 supporting cylindrical cage 126 having seatings 148 symmetrical about plane P with circumferential, part cylindrical thrust surfaces (150 Fig. 5) for receiving torque transmitting connecting members or balls 200.

Title: Releasing a vehicle electric parking brake upon a significant reduction in engine speed to throttle pedal displacement ratio
Inventor: BENNETT PETER JOHN
IPC: B60T13/74
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: An electric parking brake control system for a vehicle comprises an electric park brake (EPB) assembly for applying a park brake force to the vehicle and an EPB control module. The EPB control module releases the park brake force exerted by the EPB assembly on receipt of signals indicating positive displacement of the vehicle throttle; vehicle engine speed greater than idle; and vehicle engine loading (defined by a significant reduction in the ratio between engine speed and throttle pedal displacement, relative to the ratio obtained under the same conditions when the vehicle is unloaded), reflecting a drivers intention to pull away from rest. The ratio reduction may be significant in that the ratio drops below a mapped curve (lower than free running characteristic to eliminate transients) for a specific time. An inclination sensor may modify one or more parameter to adjust for local conditions.

Title: Multi-layer valve guides
Inventor: REATHERFORD LARRY VAN
IPC: C23C4/18
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: A method of making valve guides by thermal spraying a wear-resistant layer 52 onto a rotating mandrel 10 that is subsequently built up by thermal spraying steel on the wear-resistant layer 52. A flame spray polymer lubricant is applied to the wear-resistant layer 52 to improve self-lubricating properties of the engine valve guide. The mandrel 10 and applied layers 52,54 are then cut off and the remaining segment is further processed in a machining operation to remove the mandrel 10 from the inside of the engine valve guide. The mandrel is preferably cooled as the thermal spray is applied preferably by routing a cooling fluid such as air through the mandrel 10. Application of the polymer material through spray gun 22 may be simultaneous with or subsequent to beginning application of the wear resistant material.

Title: Pipeline cutting apparatus
Inventor: MCCOY RICHARD W
IPC: B23D57/00
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: An underground apparatus (A) for servicing subsea pipelines (12) provides a telescoping frame (10) which can be lowered to the vicinity of the pipeline. The frame has an open section so that it can straddle the pipeline and outer jacket and fixate itself releasably so that it can be selectively repositioned. A cutting structure (56) is secured to a telescoping sub frame (28). The cutting structure can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the sub frame, as well as advanced along the direction of the longitudinal axis of the frame due to the telescoping feature of the sub frame. The cutting structure can also be moved pivotally about an axis of rotation which is outside and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. Thus, combining the telescoping feature with the pivoting feature and the feature of being able to rotate about the longitudinal axis, a variety of different cuts can be made.
