  • Patent number: 8833585
    Abstract: A can end combination, a resealable beverage can, and a method of sealing a beverage can are disclosed. The can end combination may include a metal can end and a resealable closure coupled to the can end. The can end may include a center panel having an aperture formed therethrough. The closure may include a base plate and a top plate coupled to the base plate. The closure may have a sealed position in which the base plate contacts the center panel about the aperture to form at least one of a bore seal and a face seal. The closure may also have an intermediate position in which the base plate is proximate the aperture but the closure is devoid of the bore seal and the face seal. The closure may also have a fully open position in which the aperture is exposed to enable pouring liquid through the aperture.

  • Patent number: 8249426
    Abstract: A method (100) of automatically editing audio and visual recordings to produce an audio-visual production using computer processing means. The method (100) involves a first step (101) of setting production criteria in which the desired production duration, target device, maximum execution time and location of media files are specified. In a second step (102) a style is selected for applying to the media files. A third step (103) of selecting ones of the media files involves selecting those media files in folders which have been accessed most recently by a user, based on awarding a score to folders. In a fourth step (104), the selected style is applied. This is followed in a fifth step (105) by rendering the production to the target device.

  • Publication number: 20120198399
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and computer program for determining constraint errors in hardware design debugging. The invention may be included as part of a complete verification solution. The method involves applying a diagnostic technique such that under-constrained problems are identified by adding a model-free error suspect or error candidate on the primary input signals (or other signals where constraints or stimuli are usually added). The present invention also provides a system, method and computer program that enables hardware design correction, consisting of the use of generating correction waveforms for identifying one or more corrections at the gate level and/or logic level of the hardware design. A number of different diagnostic techniques can be used in this way for example, include simulation-based techniques, BDD-based techniques, SAT-based techniques and path tracing.
