Title: Systems and Methods for controlling a vehicle
Inventor: ALLARD JAMES
IPC: B60W10/18
Filed: 2005-10-20
Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous control of a vehicle include interruptible, behavior-based, and selective control. Autonomous control is achieved by using actuators that interact with input devices in the vehicle. The actuators (e.g., linkages) manipulate the input devices (e.g., articulation controls and drive controls, such as a throttle, brake, tie rods, steering gear, throttle lever, or accelerator) to direct the operation of the vehicle. Although operating autonomously, manual operation of the vehicle is possible following the detection of events that suggest manual control is desired. Subsequent autonomous control may be permitted, permitted after a prescribed delay, or prevented. Systems and methods for processing safety signals and/or tracking terrain features are also utilized by an autonomous vehicle.

Title: Aircraft Ice Protection Method
Inventor: HINDEL JAMES T
IPC: B64D15/14
Filed: 2007-06-28
Abstract: A method of removing a delay-induced ice accumulation (e.g., an ice cap) from an airfoil's leading-edge region with a zoned electrothermal device. The method comprises delay-rectifying steps that cope with the accumulated ice formed prior to starting an ice protection system, which are performed prior to routine-deicing steps. There delay-rectifying steps in a first set comprise continuously heating the parting strip PS, continuously heating the upper fore zone UF1, and continuously heating the lower fore zone LF1. The routine deicing steps comprising intermittently heating the upper and lower aft zones UA1 and UA2 and optionally intermittently heating the upper and lower fore zones UF1, UF2, and continually heating the parting strip PS. The continuous heating temperatures of the delay-rectifying steps are higher than those of the routine-deicing. Second and third sets (Fig.3) can be heated alternatively or simultaneously.

Title: Resolving dependencies in a computer system by cloning resources
Inventor: HARROP ROB
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2008-11-28
Abstract: When an application 100B is deployed in a computer system 200, the dependencies of the application are checked. The resources, such as libraries 300, on which the application depends, may be cloned if predetermined trigger conditions are met. The application is then transformed to depend on the cloned resource rather than the original resource. The resource may be cloned if it, or a resource on which it depends, is in use by another application 100A. Each resource may have properties 112 indicating that it may not be cloned or that it must be cloned. An exception may be generated if a resource needs to be cloned, but its properties say it may not be cloned.

Title: Dry mixtures for the purpose of making of dough for a gluten-free bread and a method of making a gluten-free dry mixture and gluten-free bread
Inventor: MALBY JYTTE
IPC: A21D2/26
Filed: 2007-05-29
Abstract: The invention discloses a mixture and a method of preparing gluten-free bread, enabling an easy, rapid and inexpensive procedure in order to obtain wholesome and nourishing gluten-free bread. Five necessary ingredients are combined to prepare dough which can be baked promptly after mixing obviating the conventional kneading process and fermentation delay. The gel preferred gel-forming ingredient is derived from psyllium which provides mucilage when wet. The mucilage is combined with a leavening agent and albumin to yield a binder for flour to make dough. Gluten-free materials are preferred. The dry ingredients may conveniently be divided into two dry portions. The first portion, when water is added, provides a binder that is mixed with flour from the second portion. Alternatively can all dry ingredients in combination be watered to form dough which is promptly baked. The dough is formed and baked in the conventional manner.
