Title: Method for fabricating slabs having polyestyrene arches and prestressed concreterib and slabs thus fabricated
Inventor: SANCHEZ JAIME ENRIQUE JIMENEZ
IPC: E04B5/36
Filed: 2000-05-11
Abstract: It relates to a process for fabricating vault type slabs or polystyrene with prestressed concrete buttresses, which employing a modified sliding extruding or moulding machine for continuous production on a pre-stress track, fills in and vibrates the concrete on the polystyrene vaults placed on the track. Said vaults have the shape of the top slab buttress cut out in the vault itself, and simultaneously as it concretes it the machine leaves an alveolus in the centre of each buttress. The prefabricated slab thus obtained is fully self supporting with the same thickness as the traditional forging which it replaces. It comprises two concrete buttresses preferably with a double T shape, and by addition on site of a steel containing compression layer, the building floor joist itself is obtained. <IMAGE>

Title: Subtitle colorwiping and positioning method and apparatus
Inventor: TSUKAGOSHI IKUO
IPC: H04N19/423
Filed: 1996-04-02
Abstract: Dynamic positioning of subtitles for a video image is achieved by encoding and decoding the subtitles separately from the video image. At the encoder (Fig. 7), subtitles are generated (55) for each respective video image. At the decoder (Fig. 2), a buffer (22) stores the subtitles along with subtitle decoding information. A controller (35) precisely times a reading operation of the buffer to read out the subtitles during a real time display of the respective video image. Dynamic positioning of the subtitles is achieved by delaying the time the controller executes the read operation. When the decoding technique is repeated for a number of frames, the viewer senses motion as the positioning gradually changes. <IMAGE>

Patent AU-5867186-A (AU)
Title: Cultivation of morchella
Inventor: OWER ROLAND DEAN
IPC: A01G1/04
Filed: 1986-04-28
Abstract: The invention pertains to culturing ascocarps or fruitbodies of species of the genus Morchella. Mycelia are provided nutrients and subsequently produce sclerotia. Sclerotia store sufficient nutrient to supply the ascocarps that are developed later. The mycelia and attendant sclerotia are established in a nutrient poor substratum. The fungus is induced to give rise to ascocarp development by initially maintaining the fungus in an environment that is poor in exogenous nutrients, and by exposing the fungus to a high level of water. After induction, primordia appear. The period from primordia appearance until midway to maturation of the fruitbodies represents a critical period during which the fruitbodies are prone to abort. During this critical period, particular attention is directed to maintaining favorable conditions. The fruitbodies, which may be grown to maturation, are harvested.

Patent AU-6426990-A (AU)
Title: Dosing system and method
Inventor: PLESTER GEORGE
IPC: B67D1/00
Filed: 1990-09-19
Abstract: A dosing system has a vessel for holding a fluid and a dosing device for dispensing a measured quantity of fluid from the vessel. The dosing device hermetically seals the vessel and has a valve with a fluid passage, a piston surrounding the valve and a cylinder housing surrounding the piston. The valve is positioned in a first position wherein fluid is gravity fed from the vessel to a chamber formed between a drive face of the piston and the cylinder housing. The valve can be reciprocated from the first position to a second position whereat the valve closes the inlet from the vessel to the chamber. The piston closes the passage within the valve when the valve is in the first position and opens the passage when the valve is moved to the second position to permit discharge of fluid from the chamber. When the valve moves to a third position, the drive face of the piston moves toward a shoulder of the cylinder housing to thereby pump the fluid from the chamber. The valve can be moved between these three positions to repeatedly discharge fluid. When the valve returns from the third through the second to the first position, the drive face of the piston will move away from the shoulder of the cylinder creating suction in the chamber. This suction will assist in the gravity feed of fluid from the vessel to the chamber. The dosing system is particularly useful in a dispenser for a beverage and the vessel can be a bag-in-box container. A pliable funnel portion is provided between the vessel and the dosing device whereby the dosing device may be pushed into or pulled from the vessel.
