Title: Memory defragmentation and compaction into high priority memory banks
Inventor: FITZGERALD RICHARD
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2008-12-17
Abstract: The memory in a computer system is divided into several memory banks. Each bank has a priority. Data fragments are moved from low priority banks to high priority banks. If a bank is emptied, it may be powered down. Searching for data to move may be performed synchronously or asynchronously with respect to moving the data. If an interrupt occurs while data is being moved, the move may be abandoned if the interrupt service routine may have altered the data being moved. A page move function may be used to configure objects in a page which is moved. The priorities of banks may be dependent on the speed or power consumption of the banks. It may also be dependent on whether the bank holds data which cannot be moved.

Title: An adjustable sweatband for a hat
Inventor: JAN JON
IPC: A42B1/22
Filed: 2009-01-08
Abstract: A sweatband (5, figure 1), designed for attachment within a hat (4, figure 1), is adjustable for the accommodation of different head sizes. The band comprises a tunnel or tube 16 extending around its circumference, and a length of elasticised tape 3 passing freely through the tunnel. The ends of the tape emerging from the tunnel are provided with means to allow their mutual fastening 1, 2, the means preferably comprising a hook-and-loop type fastener. The tape is of a sufficient length to allow overlap of its ends when in a non-stretched condition, and alteration of the circumference of the sweatband is effected by increasing the overlap of said ends. A single edge of the band can be fixed to the inner surface of a hat (8, figure 1), allowing the length of the band to be altered without causing creasing or deformation of the hat.

Abstract: 951,615. Fishing reels. MILWARDS' FISHING TACKLE Ltd. April 10, 1961 [March 22, 1960], No. 10028/60. Heading A1A. A fishing reel of the stationary spool type is provided with a brake drum 48 secured to the spindle 44 of the driving handle 49. The fisherman presses his finger on the brake drum to cause braking. The spindle 44 of the driving handle rotates in an oil impregnated phosphor bronze bearing 47 and is connected to a gear wheel 45 engaged with a pinion 24 splined on a spindle 21. The latter carries at one end a rewinding drum from which projects a flyer pin mounted on a synthetic resin cam follower slidably mounted in the rewinding drum and urged by a spring against a stationary cam surface. The spindle 21 can be displaced axially by a pivoted fingeroperated lever 35 against the action of a spring acting between a flange on the spindle and the splined pinion 24. The flyer pin then withdraws into the rewinding drum and the line is clamped between the rewinding drum and an outer cover held on the reel casing by a spring wire on the casing engaging ratchet teeth on the cover.

Abstract: 1388615 Masted lift truck CLARK EQUIPMENT CO 4 March 1972 10244/72 Heading B8H [Also in Division F2]  Fork lift truck has a telescopic mast 22 with a lifting carriage 26 movable along the inner raisable mast section 32 by a hydraulic lift cylinder 34. The vertical portion 40 of the lift carriage has a series of jounalled shafts 152 with a pinion 154 at each end to engage racks 156 extending along the mast section to distribute load, on the carriage, between the mast sections. The shaft has crowned splines 168 to receive the internal splining on a pinion to allow the pinion to tilt relative to axis of rotation to accommodate mis-alignments of the racks. A pair of forks 60 are mounted on a sleeve 74 for movement about a post 76 by a hydraulic motor 120. The post is mounted to a link 50 pivotably mounted at the end opposite the part 76 to a cross head (90) Fig. 6 (not shown) movable in a slot (50) and at a point intermediate its ends to a cross head (92) movably in an arcuate slot (82). A chain (96) extending around the horizontal portion (42) of the carriage and driven by a hydraulic motor (150), is coupled to the cross head (92) to move this cross head in either direction along the slot (82) to move the post (76) and hence the forks along a straight line laterally of the carriage. A further chain (112) Fig. 7 (not shown) extends around the link 50 and engages sprockets (114), (116) at the respective ends thereof. The sleeve 74 is secured to the sprocket (114) which provides a compensatory motion to the sleeve as the link 50 moves across the carriage whereby the forks maintain a constrant altitude relative to the carriage as they are moved laterally thereof. A pair of rams (130), (132) Fig. 5 (not shown) acting on a cross beam (70) which carries the forks serve to raise the forks sufficiantly to clear the link 50 for when the forks are swung over the carriage. A wedge (142) on the forks lift same backwards as they are raised to retain load thereon.

Abstract: 308,991. Norton Co., (Assignees of Jeppson, G. N., and Larsson, T.). April 2, 1928, [Convention date]. Grant of Patent opposed. Rasping-apparatus.-A grinding-wheel is made by first positioning a number of abrasive segments 6 to form the grinding surface and then forming the internal supporting structure 10 for the segments of a hardening fluid material such as concrete. The segments consist of abrasive grains loaded by vitrified ceramic material, and are provided with facing shoes 17 of lead which are cast integrally thereon and are engaged by clamping blocks 12 to hold the segments firmly on to the concrete body 10. Elastic strips 15 of rubber or like material are interposed between the clamping members and the body. In making the wheel, a reinforcing network consisting of hoops 25, rods 26, and connecting wires 28 is first loosely formed round a mandrel 21 and bolts 20 are threaded into the clamping blocks and the nuts 22 placed in position. The clamping blocks are temporarily braced in position and the abrasive segments are slipped over the blocks, wedged in position and bound with wire. The concrete is then poured into the space between the mandrel and the segments and when this has set the wedges are removed, the nuts 22 tightened, and the space 19 between the segments is filled with lead which flows over the heads of the clamping blocks. Other hardening materials than concrete may be used and the method may also be applied to wheels of other shapes.

Abstract: 913,073. Vehicle windows regulators. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. (Ford Motor Co.). March 25, 1959, No. 10307/59. Class 20 (3). In a regulator which imparts a compound movement to a vertically sliding car window to avoid car body obstruction for storing the window in the body space, the window 11, Fig. 1, is guided by rear rollers 26 in a rear body track 22 during the upper portion of the window movement only and by front rollers 18 in the front track 17 only during the lower portion of the travel. To this end the upper portion of the track 17 is flared so as to have no longitudinal restraint on the roller 18, the tracks 17, 22 overlapping in the vertical travel of the window so that during raising movement the roller 26 enters the track 22 through the flared lower end 27 prior to departure of the roller 18 from the longitudinal restraining portion 19 of the track 17. The track 22 is adjustably mounted on a body plate 24, Fig. 3. The regulator mechanism comprises an arm 36, Fig. 1, secured to a quadrant 33 pivoted at 34 to the body bracket 31 and carries a roller 37 in a slot 16 in the window frame 13 and a second L-shaped arm 38 pivoted at 39 to the arm 36 coupled to the frame 13 by a roller-and-slot guide 41, 14 and guided in a body track 43 by a roller 42. The arm 36 is actuated by the toothed quadrant 33 engaging the manually operated pinion 32. Lateral stability for the window is provided by an antifriction nylon button 49, Fig. 4, and the roller 18 engaging opposite sides of the track 17. Such stability may be increased by a strut 52, Fig. 2, pivoted between the window frame at 53 and a roller 54 in the track 17.
