Title: Tabbed user interface for stock trading
Inventor: RAM PRANIL
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2005-09-19
Abstract: The interface comprises one or more grids, each grid typically associated with a specific security. GUI objects or icons representing orders of a specific quantity may be dragged and dropped onto the grid to place, change, or cancel orders. The Grids are contained within tabpages, which are further contained as tabsets. Status icons are used to represent open, filled, and cancelled orders. The Icon Locate and Order locate feature allows orders on the Grid and Icons in the status panels to be easily referenced. Status Icons may be stamped with their associated order type or status. Similarly, the status icons may take the form of Corporate logos and adjust in size according to the value or quantity of a position. An Icon packing feature allows status icons to be efficiently placed within their total panel area. Advertising content may be displayed on the trading interface and is also conveniently packaged within tabsets.

Title: Characterizing biological stimuli by response curves
Inventor: KUTSYY VADIM
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: A method for calculating distances between stimulus response curves (e.g., dose response curves) allows classification of stimuli, The response curves show how the phenotype of one or more cells changes in response to varying levels of the stimulus. Each "point" on the curve represents quantitative phenotype or signature for cell(s) at a particular level of stimulus (e.g., dose of a therapeutic). The signatures are multivariate phenotypic representations of the cell (s). They include various features of the cell(s) obtained by image analysis. To facilitate the comparison of stimuli, distances between points on the response curves are calculated. First, the response curves may be aligned on a coordinate representing a separate distance, r, from a common point of negative control (e.g., the point where no stimulus is applied). Integration on r may be used to compute the distance between two response curves. The distance between response curves is used to classify stimuli.

Title: Vehicle safely system that tries to prevent and reduce the severity of an accident or crash, then sends an emergency message after a crash.
Inventor: BERGVALL ANDREAS
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2006-02-27
Abstract: A vehicle safely system is disclosed. The system comprises a processor that during normal driving of the vehicle evaluates information about the possibility of a dangerous event occurring. Based on preset criteria the processor generates a command signal to mitigate the danger of the event. The system also has a crash detection system that can determine the vehicle has been involved in an accident and a positioning system to determine the location of the vehicle. The system also has a communication means that after the vehicle has been in a crash sends an emergency message including the position of the vehicle. The communication system may be a telephone or short range system able to send and receive signals between local objects and other vehicles. The system may have a map memory or database. The preset criteria may include the vehicle's speed, accelerati on, direction of travel, the local speed limit, the approaching speed limit, the curvature of the road, the weather conditions and any approaching traffic signals or junctions. The criteria may include the location of other objects detected to be likely to collide with the vehicle, such as other vehicles. The command signal may be to automatically brake, a warning signal and/or to modify the crash algorithm of the vehicle.

Title: A process for recycling timber products
Inventor: CONROY FERGAL MARTIN
IPC: B07B13/00
Filed: 2006-03-15
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for recycling timber products in a recycling plant 1. The timber products are soaked in situ in the hold 53 of a delivery truck 51 as they enter the recycling plant before being placed on a stock pile 11 in an elevated area in the recycling plant. The water and any grit washed from the timber in the stock pile are allowed to gravity flow through the recycling plant to a settling tank 33. The water and the grit are separated in the settling tank and a further filtration tank 35. The water may then be pumped out through a pipe network into an adjacent pasture 41 or reused in the soaking of timber products entering into the recycling plant. The timber products are then passed to a slow crusher 13 then a fast crusher 15, and metals of varying sizes are removed before the crushed timber products are graded according to size. The process allows for the timber products to be washed before being allowed to enter the crushing equipment, and furthermore allows for collection of debris from the timber in a simple manner without requiring expensive equipment to do so.

Title: Aircraft fuel gauging system with sensor back-up
Inventor: DAVIS ANDREW CERI
IPC: G01F23/00
Filed: 2006-03-29
Abstract: A system to measure the quantity of fuel in an aircraft fuel tank, comprises a plurality of liquid level measuring sensors 11-18, 21-28, 31-34 in each fuel tank 1, 2, 3. The sensors are divided into two subgroups of odd sensors 11, 13, 15, 17, 31, 33, 27, 25, 23, 21 and even sensors 12, 14, 16, 18, 32, 34, 28, 26, 24, 22. Each group is connected with a respective processor 7 and 8. The two processors 7 and 8 provide separate indications of fuel quantity (each using measurements from the respective sensor set) on a display on a refuel panel 42 on the exterior of the airplane, or a combined indication (using measurements from all the sensors) on a display 41 in the cockpit. In the event of a failure of the system, the system can provide a reduced accuracy fuel indication using only one of the sensors sets and processors. Thus the system provides a back-up fuel measurement system without the need for additional sensors. The separate indications on the refuel panel 42 may be compared with a flow meter in a fuel dispenser to confirm that the correct amount of fuel has been dispensed.

Title: Managing power under operating constraints set by system components
Inventor: GARCIA-TOBIN CHARLES
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2007-09-12
Abstract: An apparatus, such as a mobile electronic device, has a number of system resources, such as clocks or power supplies. These resources are used by various components, such as peripheral devices. The components set constraints on the resources. The apparatus has a power management subsystem which uses the constraints to select a low power mode. The power management subsystem may disable some of the resources based on the constraints. It may have a number of constraint handlers, each of which determines a low power mode based on a single constraint. The power management subsystem then selects a low power mode to meet all the constraints. The constraints may be set when the components are activated and cleared when the components are deactivated.

Title: Deep water pipeline intended to provide free energy
Inventor: ZUKIC SHERIF
IPC: F03B17/04
Filed: 2008-07-22
Abstract: A pipe line is installed in the sea communicating between deep and shallow waters. It is claimed that water will flow up the pipeline due to the high pressure at the bottom of the pipe, and this flow can be used to drive a turbine to generate electricity. The analysis ignores the fact that the pipeline contains seawater, so that pressure within the pipe, as well as outside it, is proportional to depth.
