Abstract: A system and method for providing namespace related information. A namespace library operating in a computer provides a central source of namespace related information for handling XML documents. The namespace related information may be used by other computer application programs operating in the computer. The namespace related information provided by the namespace library is indexed by namespace. Many types of namespace related information may be associated with each namespace. The computer application programs may obtain namespace related information by querying the namespace library using a particular namespace.

Abstract: Recovering text from a damaged electronic file by scanning an arbitrary stream of bytes and extracting text that is encoded as ASCII or Unicode. A byte of the damaged file is read. The read byte may be interpreted using the ASCII encoding standard. The read byte and the immediately preceding read byte may also be interpreted using the Unicode character encoding standard. The interpreted byte(s) is classified based upon the likelihood that the byte(s) is actually text for the particular character set rather than a control character, damaged data, or an element other than a textual character. The classifications are used to adjust a likelihood counter for each character type. The likelihood counter may be an integer value that indicates the probability that a text run has been detected. A text run is a sequence of bytes that is believed to be undamaged text. Each likelihood counter is then examined to determine whether there is a text run for one of the character types.

Abstract: For casting large concrete articles, a wheel-mounted main frame supports a mould assembly which can be rotated about a horizontal axis, and also raised and lowered. This assembly has two main mould sections oppositely arranged so that when one faces upwards the other faces downwards. A removable mould section fitted to each main mould section forms a complete mould capable, when uppermost, of receiving concrete to be cast. The mould assembly may then be inverted and lowered to a support, and the removable mould section disconnected to serve as a pallet for the cast article. The mould assembly may be raised, concrete may be cast in the other mould, which is uppermost, and the main frame may be moved clear of the deposited cast article.

Abstract: A pre-fabricated unit, usable singly or with others in constructing a building, has a roof section and a floor section interconnected by central end columns, the roof and floor sections both being rectangular, each being formed with transverse beams across its ends and longitudinal corrugations between the beams. When two units are superimposed, the floor section beams of the upper one bear on the roof section beams of the lower, the corrugations of the two sections interfitting with some clearance and forming longitudinal roof and floor ducts for service lines and conduits which communicate with transverse ducts formed between the beams and corrugations of the roof section.
