Title: A geographical information search system
Inventor: RUTLEDGE CHARLES WAYNE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-07-21
Abstract: A network-based search system is disclosed in which queries and information records are qualified by temporal and geographical references, such as those provided by a map-based directory system. Briefly, queries are submitted using text strings together with time tags and location tags. Time tags and location tags refer to the date/time the query was last submitted for a search and the geographical area of interest (defined by ranges of latitude and longitude coordinates), respectively. The information records being searched preferably contain similar time and location tags. However, time and location tags associated with information records refer to the date/time the record was last modified and the origin of the record, respectively. A mechanism is also provided for determining location tags for records that do not include location tags. In all, a comparison between the time and location tags associated with a query and the time and location tags associated with the information records permits geographically irrelevant records to be suppressed and allows the user to automatically receive only information that has been modified since the user last requested it. Thus, search results are automatically pre-filtered prior to being transmitted to the user who originated the query, thereby conserving network resources and reducing the amount of context-based filtering required of the user.

Title: Sprue bar assembly
Inventor: CATOEN BRUCE
IPC: B29C45/32
Filed: 1998-09-02
Abstract: A sprue bar assembly for a melt transfer system for stack molds comprises a sprue bar and a sprue bar sleeve, a sprue bar and drool restrictor and sleeve or a sprue bar and drool restrictor.   For the assemblies with the sleeve, when the stack mold is opened, the sprue bar slides inside the sprue bar sleeve which captures any leakage therefrom. When the mold is closed, the sprue bar sweeps captured leakage out of the sleeve to an area outside the mold. As the bushing at the end of the sprue bar can contact the nozzle of the injection machine at a point very close to the edge of the fixed platen, the resulting minimum length of the sprue bar is reduced, reducing pressure losses through the sprue bar and reducing the cost of the sprue bar. The sprue bar sleeve can be fabricated from an insulating material to enhance the thermal characteristics of the sprue bar assembly and a scraper can be provided on the sprue bar to improve removal of captured material from the sprue bar sleeve. If a drool restrictor is provided within the bushing, the amount of drool from the sprue bar when the bushing is not in engagement with the nozzle of the injection machine can also be reduced and, in some circumstances, can eliminate the need for the sleeve.
