Title: User diagnostic system for the interpretation and solution of errors on computer based systems
Inventor: LOPKE MICHAEL S
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2002-06-10
Abstract: An enduser diagnostic system 10 for the interpretation and presentation of solutions to errors occurring on computer based systems 20, includes a network addressable device 33, a computer based system with a registry 26 and an inspector 40. The network addressable device provides solutions for errors associated with the computer based system. The system registry stores the information needed to configure the software and hardware components of the computer system. The inspector is linked to the system registry and to the network addressable device. The inspector obtains diagnostic data from the computer based system, configuration data from the system registry and uses them to generate examination data. The inspector then presents the examination data to the user for approval before sending it to the network addressable device for the generation of a solution to the problem on the computer based system. The inspector can be a plugin integrated with a browser 22.

Inventor: WOLFE PHILIP ROWLAND
IPC: H02S20/23
Filed: 2002-08-03
Abstract: An external building element 20 has the size and shape of a standard roofing or building product but incorporates a monolithically interconnected solar cell array within which a plurality of interconnected thin film solar cells 25 are integrated on an electrically insulating substrate. The cells 25 are positioned in one or more rows with the cells being electrically connected together in series and being connected by electrically conducting tracks to two output tracks. The output tracks of each element may be automatically interconnected to the output tracks of the adjacent elements when the elements are placed adjacent one another along a horizontal support rail so as to electrically connect the solar cell assemblies of the elements in parallel. Further similar elements may be positioned in overlapping rows. Such an element incorporating a solar cell array is substantially uniform in colour and may be designed to provide a very close visual match to standard building products, such as natural and synthetic slates. The array is configured to provide a peak power voltage in excess of 20V and an open circuit voltage below 75V. The peak power voltage exceeds 150V per m<2> of active solar cell area.

Title: Anti creep turbine blade with internal cavity
Inventor: TOWNES RODERICK MILES
IPC: F01D5/14
Filed: 2002-11-02
Abstract: An anti-creep uncooled turbine blade 16a comprises a solid root portion 24 and a an aerofoil portion 17, the aerofoil having an internal cavity or void 20 within it, extending between the tip 22 and the root 24. This void reduces the centrifugal forces during operation in a gas turbine engine, and thus reduces creep in the blade. Also disclosed is a method for producing the blade, involving the steps of positioning a soluble core within a mould in a spaced relationship with said mould, and filling the space with wax. When solid, the wax is then covered by a flit, before being melted away. Molten metal can then be poured into the shell, and when cooled, the shell is removed, and the core dissolved and ejected through an aperture 28. A cap can then be placed over the aperture to create a sealed volume within the blade.

Title: Updating forms
Inventor: VASEY PHILIP EDGAR
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2004-05-05
Abstract: Indirect update functions, for updating a form (where the form may have dynamic behaviour, in that, answering a question or the like may affect other questions), are generated by supplying update functions to a synthesiser, and generating an activation network, based on these update functions. The invocation sequence of the activation network is then determined, and used to update elements of a form. The generation of the invocation sequence by the synthesiser removes the need for complex hand encoding of form structures, and provides a means by which the functions may be generated as part of a server, client or middleware application.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that generates an estimate of a property of a batch process uses a non-parametric model to generate a plurality of rate of reaction estimates 158 associated with the batch process. Each rate of reaction estimate may correspond, for example, to a particular time during the batch process. The plurality of rate of reaction estimates are then integrated to generate an estimate of a property of the batch at a particular time 162. The non-parametric model is a non-mathematical model and may be a neural network which is trained using a determined training record for the batch process. Differences between the actual and modelled properties of the batch process may be used to improve the model.
