Abstract: A reel (20) comprises a drum assembly (22) enclosed within a shell comprising upper and lower shell portions (24, 26). The drum assembly (22) is secured to the lower shell portion (26). The drum assembly (22) comprises a motor-driven rotating drum (36) secured between two discs (38, 40), and a frame subassembly (23). The drum (36) is adapted to receive linear material (150) spooled thereon. An outer surface of one of the discs has a spiral groove (88), with a first end (90) near the center of the disc and a second end (92) near an outer edge. The second end (92) is tapered to lesser depth. The frame subassembly (23) includes a track assembly (54) facing the disc with the spiral groove (88) and a translating plate (70) adapted to translate horizontally within the track assembly. As the drum and discs rotate, horizontal pins (76, 78) of the plate (70) alternatingly engage the spiral groove (88), causing the translating plate to translate linearly within the track assembly. The translating plate is connected to and causes the upper shell portion to reciprocatingly rotate about a vertical axis with respect to the lower shell portion and drum assembly. A guide aperture (128) is provided in the upper shell portion, through which linear material (150) is drawn onto the rotating drum (36). Advantageously, the aperture translates through an arc in front of the drum (36), so that the linear material (150) is distributed across the drum surface as it is wound.

Inventor: DAUR HARALD
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2004-05-13
Abstract: Method and System for automatically transforming a provider offering into a customer specific service environment definition executable by Resource management systems. The idea of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically transforming a provider offering describing a customer specific service environment in business terms into a machine readable form which can be automatically processed by resource management systems. The input for the transformation is the provider's offering in business terms as well information from the resource catalog. The result of the transformation is a customer specific service environment topology that states all the necessary resource types, their configurations and their dependencies. Based on that customer specific service environment topology and information from the resource management catalog, a customer specific service environment definition (SED) is automatically generated which contains all the configuration information and definitions of the resource management actions in order to instantiate and drive the operation of the service environment. The SED can be deployed into a resource management system that automatically executes the resource management actions without the error prone configuration steps otherwise needed.

Title: Method and device for measuring the texture of cooked grains
Inventor: IYENGAR NARASIMHA HAMPAPURA VE
IPC: G01N3/42
Filed: 2003-12-31
Abstract: A method and device for assessing end point of cooking of dhal and rice with good reproducibility are disclosed. Pulses are generally consumed as dhals after cooking to soft texture. Measurement of end point of cooking of dhals, rice etc is very subjective and current methods are not very satisfactory. A n innovative device and an objective method for carrying out the same were developed. This works on the principle of determining the ~spread area~ duri ng progressive cooking for dhals as well as rice, and reading the cooking time form a graph plotted. The device developed for the purpose can be used to exert the desired force for pressing the cooked grain and the area to which the grain spreads is determined by counting the number of squares from an appropriate graph sheet as ~spread area~ is plotted against the period of cooking a progressive increase was observed. The time at which, there was a sudden increase in the spread area or when a change in the slope of the curv e (sudden deflection / steadiness) occurred was considered as cooking time of the sample (dhal / rice) being cooked. The method now reported corroborated well with the standard instrumental methods. This invention provides an objective and reliable method for assessing end point of cooking of dhal and rice with good reproducibility.
