Title: Generating a dynamic FAQ document
Inventor: PODGORNY IGOR A
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2009-09-04
Abstract: A method for generating a dynamic help document involves 203 obtaining question-answer pairs, particularly frequently asked questions (FAQs) and corresponding answers, associated with a client-server application, 206 determining rankings of the question-answer pairs based on user feedback about the question-answer pairs, and 209 determining a first preferred question-answer pair based on rankings of question-answer pairs. The method further involves 215 generating the dynamic help document using the first preferred question-answer pair, updating rankings of the question-answer pairs based on additional user feedback about the question-answer pairs, 218 determining a second preferred question-answer pair based on updated rankings of the question-answer pairs, and 221 updating the dynamic help document by replacing the first preferred question-answer pair with the second preferred question-answer pair. The method may also 224 export the dynamic help document to a static help document such as a HTML web page or PDF file.

Title: Expanding three portions of a tubular string separately
Inventor: GREEN ANNABEL
IPC: E21B/
Filed: 2005-09-21
Abstract: A tubular string has a first expandable portion 114 at one side of a zone to be isolated; a second expandable portion 114 at the other side of a zone to be isolated; and a perforated third expandable portion 118 in communication with an oil producing zone. The middle portions only of the first, second and third expandable portion will be expanded. The first and second expandable portions will be expanded by a first expander while the prerforated third expandable portion is expanded by a second expander; the second expander will be deactivated during operation of the first expander. The first and second expanded portions can form labyrinth seals. The outer extents of the first and second expanded portions can penetrate into surrounding formations. The expansion is ideally activated and deactivated by tags or markers. The expansion may stop due to reaching a less ductile material. The marker may be radio frequency based. A packer 602 can be used in an unexpanded portion of the tubular.

Abstract: 619,869. Kinematograph projectors. BECOTE, A. April 3, 1946, No. 10323. Convention date. Dec. 23, 1943. [Class 97 (i)] In a continuous feed projector a reduced image of the film frame is formed by a divergent lens and optically compensated by a reciprocating lens. As shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, two frames a, b of the film 3 are accommodated in the gate 4 illuminated by a light source 1 with condenser 2 and shutter 5. Reduced virtual images a<1>, bl of the film frames are produced by the divergent lens 6 and a reciprocating lens 7 provides optical compensation, 8 is the projection lens and 9 a mask to ensure that only one frame is projected. The lens 8 may be dispensed with and its function performed by the lens 7. Alternatively, the lens 7 may be stationary and the lens 6 reciprocate for image compensation. A device for reciprocating the compensating lens is shown in Fig. 4. The lens 7 is carried in a support 13 slidable in vertical guides 14. The support 13 is engaged by the end of a lever 10 pivoted at 12 and carrying a roller 17 whose pivot is adjustable in a slot 15. The roller is engaged by a rotating cam 18 whose axis is adjustable in a slot 19 in the framework. In another form the oscillating lever is disposed in a plane parallel to the optical axis and the compensating lens is secured directly to it.

Title: Improved apparatus for conveyor line handling and testing of manufactured containersand other articles
IPC: G01M3/04
Filed: 1951-05-02
Abstract: 709,016. RoUerway conveyer. RHEEM MANUFACTURING CO. May 2, 1951 [Sept. 20, 1950], No. 10323/51. Class 78 (1) A drum (Fig. 2) which rolls along conveyer rail 16, strikes switch 114 and so actuates motor 116, the consequent movement of connecting rod 128 rotating shaft 124 and so causing the upending apparatus 10 to resiliently grip a drum and to swing it over so as to drop it in the upright position on to rollerway 18. As shown (Fig. 3), upending apparatus 10 comprises twin arms 120, 122 secured to said shaft 124, said arms carrying pivots 138, 148 about which respectively pivot arms 140, 146 positioned 'between the twin arms and coacting by pin-and-shoulder 142, 150 and respectively carrying shoulders 144, 152. The pivot arms 140, 146 have lugs 156, 158 which carry operating rod 160 bearing a compression spring 154 between said lugs so that when the upending apparatus 10 swings to the vertical position the two shoulders 144, 152 clamp the drum therebetween and swing it over to the horizontal position, at which position adjustable stop means 166 on rod 160 engage behind a slot in fixture 162 and by displacing the said rod cause the said shoulders to separate and to release the drum on to the rollerway 18. Shuttle 210 (Figs. 5 and 7) injects each drum from rollerway 18 into the testing position and ejects the drum already stationed at said position. The injection and ejection is performed respectively by injector dog 212 and ejector dog 214, each being spring-influenced and pivoted to the shuttle 210. The latter is reciprocated by piston 216 so that, on the forward movement, ejector 214 engages and ejects the drum shown; whilst injector 212 engages the inside edge of the oncoming drum and thus advances the drum till it meets pivoted positioning arms 330, wedge 336 on the shuttle raising said arms to stop and position the drum. The injector action is assisted by clamping arms 410 which are pivoted at 412 and controlled by slide 415 through links 416. The effect of the slide working on tracks 316 is to clamp and unclamp the arms 410 on the rim of the drum at the appropriate moments. Controlling switch arm 344 is periodically operated. When the drum is thus positioned (Fig. 5) in the testing position, the operation of the said switch causes piston 222 to lower sealing plate 20 adjustably pivoted to' piston rod 258 and pipe 22 to introduce pressure fluid into the drum. Soapy fluid from pump 278 (not shown) is then applied to the outer surface to detect any leaks present. A pivoted lever on plate 20 acts as a stop for drums arriving on the rollerway 18.

In a modification also for five webs, the glove has three folds 5a, 5b, 5c, and slots 6, and at each side an integral arm 7 is folded inwardly at 7a at right angles to the other folds; carbon sheets b are attached to each of the two inner overlapping portions 8 and to the arms 7. The slots or upper edge of the arms are preferably tapered transversely of the glove to penetrate passage of the lines of perforations dividing the webs into four lengths.

Title: Improvements in or relating to motor vehicle transmissions having speed responsive controls
IPC: F16H61/14
Filed: 1954-04-09
Abstract: 752,131. Friction clutches: change-speed control. FORD MOTOR CO.. Ltd. April 9 1954 [April 30, 1953]. No. 10547/54. Class 80(2) [Also in Group XXIX] A motor vehicle transmission comprises a pump driven at a speed proportional to vehicle speed, a venturi through which the output of the pump flows. and a valve actuated by the pressure difference created bv the venturi and controlling a fluidactuated clutch in the transmission. The discharge from a pump 34 driven from the output shaft of a torque converter 16 is passed through a venturi 41 to a valve 52 and also, through a restriction 47. to the torque converter. When valve 52 is in its upper position, the pressure fluid from the pump is directed to a clutch 21 to engage the latter so that the two elements of the torque converter are locked together and a direct drive from the engine is obtained. The pressures upstream and at the throat of the venturi are applied differentially to a diaphragm 62 controlling the valve 52. At low speeds, valve 52 is forced by its loading spring into the towered position in which the line 72 leading to the clutch is connected to an exhaust line 78. The clutch is thus disengaged and the torque converter is interposed in the drive. When the vehicle speed attains a pre-determined value, the increased differential pressure across the diaphragm forces the latter and the valve 52 into the upper position to lock the torque converter out of the drive. An override to bring the torque converter into the drive is given by depressing the accelerator pedal 81, the latter acting through a shaft 84 and lost-motion connections 94, 91 on a crank-arm 88 which can act on the stem of valve 52 to depress the latter to its lower position.
