Title: Machine and method for providing folded pipe liners
Inventor: THOMPSON MARK A
IPC: B29C63/34
Filed: 2002-08-19
Abstract: A machine and method for providing a folded liner for insertion into a pipe, comprises an upper section and a lower section. A flattened heated thermoplastic liner is fed downwardly through the upper section to the lower section, where it is redirected and fed substantially horizontally from the lower section. The flattened liner introduced to the upper section is broadly indented at one side of the liner and is then folded to provide loops disposed side-by-side in a substantially horizontal direction. A stabilizing assembly constrains the loops to maintain a desired orientation of the folded liner. The lower section redirects the liner so that the loops are stacked side-by-side in a substantially vertical direction.      The liner is cooled as its leaves the lower section to maintain its cross-sectional configuration. The upper section is separable from the lower section, and portions of the upper and lower sections are displaceable and removable to facilitate insertion of the liner into the machine and removal of the machine from the liner.

Abstract: A body weigh scale that is formed of a fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material that is sufficiently rigid so that it may house strain-gauge load cells therein, and yet not significantly deflect under load. The fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material provides an attractive surface after molding. The fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material has extremely low shrinkage rates so that the outer pattern and shape of the scale is not affected by the forming of very thin cross-sections adjacent to thick cross-sections. In addition, the fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material is sufficiently rigid to permit a body weigh scale to be constructed having a low profile with integral load-receiving platform and strain-gauge load cell receptacles. The rigidity of the fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material provides sufficient structural support for operation of she strain-gauge load cells without deflection of material at the receptacles.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for managing communication services in an optical communication system utilizes a optical service agent (OSA) (610) that operates within the domain of the network user and manages various communication services on behalf of the network user. The OSA interacts with the optical communication network (380) to obtain various communication services and manages those communication services for the network user based upon predetermined parameters defined by the network user. An authenticated auto-discovery mechanism is used to automatically identify and authenticate OSA-enabled users and to distribute information between peer OSA-enabled users. A peer-to-peer signaling mechanism is used to extend OSA functionality to OSA-enabled users that do not interfere directly with the optical communication network.

Inventor: FALCIGLIA SAL
IPC: A63F1/00
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: The method of the present invention involves a card game in which at least two rows of cards are dealt to a player. The player makes a wager to elect to play one or more subhands to be construted from the at least two rows of dealt cards. Sub-hands are constructed column-by-column whereby in a first column, a player selects none or one of the cards from the first column of the at least two rows of dealt cards for entry into a first sub-hand. The process is repeated for further elected sub-hands whereby the selection process is independent in each sub-hand. Additional cards are dealt from the deck for non-selected positions in the elected sub-hands. The poker hand ranking of each sub-hand is determined. The player is then paid for any winning poker hands based on a predetermined ranking table and the amount of the player's wager.

Title: Judgment lock for occupant detection air bag control
Inventor: STOYANOV SVETOSLAV G
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 2003-04-25
Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the sensing of an occupant in a seating area are provided. The occupant is characterized as one of an adult, child or other category. One characterization change parameter, such as a hysteresis time period or thresholds for characterization, is applied for a first time period. After that time period, the characterization change parameter is changed. For example, if the characterization stays the same for ten seconds, the hysteresis is changed from five to ten seconds. As another example, if the characterization stays the same for one minute, the thresholds associated with that characterization are broadened to decrease the likelihood of a change in characterization. In some systems and methods, a confidence parameter or probability associated with the characterization is used to control the changes of the characterization change parameter. In some systems and methods, the characterization change parameter is reset in response to one of (a) a no occupant characterization or (b) characterizing the occupant as a different one of the at least two categories consecutively for a current hysteresis time period.
