Inventor: WARREN DAVID
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-03-23
Granted: 2006-03-21
Abstract: A method and system for providing location based data services. The present invention relates generally to a method and system for generating, storing, manipulati ng and displaying location-based data and more particularly relates to a method and system for using a unique identifier of spatial location to enable a database to become "location smart". The unique identifier comprises an identifier of location such as latitude and longitude as well as one other item of data such as a time-stamp or a sequen ce number. The unique identifier is used as a key in a database system and can be used to facilitate spatial analysis of data or to provide geographic context to data. The present invention also provides systems and methods that operate in mobile a nd wireless environments. The present invention allows end users to perform the function s of geographic information systems without having to provide sensitive data to G IS service providers or having to learn to use sophisticated GIS systems.

Abstract: A glassware forming machine system includes an individual section glassware forming machine having a plurality of sections, each with at least one blank mold, and a gob distributor for distributing molten glass gobs to the blank molds of each machine section in sequence. The molten glass gobs are delivered to the blank molds of each section through deflectors on which the glass gobs slide to each blank mold. At least one liquid coolant passage is integral with each deflector, and the several coolant passages for the entire machine are connected in parallel between source and return liquid coolant manifolds.  Variable flow control valves are individually connected between each liquid coolant passage and the return manifold for controlling flow of liquid coolant through the passages and thereby balance temperatures among the parallel gob deflectors. In this way, all of the gob deflectors are maintained at the same temperature, which improves uniformity of temperature and timing of gob delivery to the blank molds of the several machine sections.

Abstract: A melting member is adapted to melt snow and ice as it contacts the snow and ice. The melting member is a tablet of sufficient size for melting a substantial amount of ice or snow before dissolving. One or more melting members are placed on snow or ice formed on an inclined roof of a building. The melting members melt the snow or ice as they move downwardly toward the roof of the building. The melting members then continue to melt the snow or ice as they slide downward along the inclined surface of the roof of the building. Water from melted snow and ice is then drained through the channels formed by the melting members. The channels also function to break up ice dams formed on the roof to allow for safe and easy removal of the ice dams and to prevent damage to the roof of the building.
