Abstract: A computer system includes a primary user interface (110) configured to receive uploaded data sets (3D,), which each describes a 3D graphics data structure in a respective source format. A  primary memory means (130) stores the data sets (3D gr).  A secondary user interface (120) receives request messages (R) from user clients (C21 a, C21 b, C22a, C2na). In response to these messages (R), the clients are provided with access to specified data sets (3D  gr) in the primary memory means (130). Upon receipt of a request message (R), an examining entity (150) identifies a graphics rendering capability (C cap) of the client which originated the message (R), and investigates whether or not the client is equipped with a viewer capable of visualizing the requested data set (3D gr). A viewer database (140) contains software modules (SW vw) adapted to implement at least two different viewers, where each viewer is configured to visualize the stored data sets (3D gr) on at least one type of client. If the examining entity (150) finds that the client (C21 b) is incapable of visualizing the requested data set (3D gr), a controller entity (160) forwards an adequate software module (SW vw) to the user client (C21 b).

Abstract: A support mount for a receiver in an ice resurfacing machine, an ice resurfacing machine, a system for making an ice surface level with a desired horizontal plane and its kits of each of them. A receiver is mounted on a support mount for maintaining an ice resurfacing machine level with a desired horizontal plane comprising a mast post that retracts within a structure mounted on the conditioner. The receiver detects a light beam being transmitted along a plane parallel to a desired horizontal plane. The position of the mast post relative to the structure is constrained such that the height of the receiver in a transport position is vertically retracted to permit the ice resurfacing machine to pass under obstacles while entering or leaving an ice surface and in an operative position is extended to a height whereby a light beam emitted by a transmitter along a plane parallel to the desired horizontal plane may be detected. At all times the mast post remains away from contact with the ice surface. Rather, the height of the receiver above the top of the conditioner is maintained constant while in the operative position to permit calibrated and level resurfacing of the ice surface level with the desired horizontal plane.

Title: Apparatus and method for supporting tubes in extrusion lines
Inventor: KLEVER JOERG
IPC: B29C48/90
Filed: 2010-05-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for supporting tubes in extrusion lines, with a tube support mechanism that is adaptable to a respective tube diameter that is to be supported, and that is provided with an articulated link chain which rests against at least part of a circumference of the tube, and the chain links of which have end faces directed toward the tube. The object of the invention is to make available a further apparatus as well as a method of this type for adjusting a tube support mechanism. This object is realized in that the articulated link chain (15) is comprised of chain links (17) that are disposed in at least two planes and that overlap one another from plane to plane, wherein the chain links are pivotably connected to one another in the overlap zones, whereby the chain links (17) of each plane have at their facing ends identical gear wheel contours (30) that mesh with one another. The object is furthermore realized in that the adjustment of the tube support mechanism (14) is effected, from one nominal diameter to another nominal diameter, by the pressure effect, onto the tube support mechanism (14), of the conical tube transition piece (5.1) that results during a change in diameter as operation continues, whereby the angle of contact of the tube support mechanism (14) against the tube that is to be supported successively changes.
