  • Publication number: 20050125980
    Abstract: A device for constructing a wire wrapped screen winds a wrap wire substantially helically about a screen body by rotating the screen body about a screen body longitudinal axis while moving the screen body along the screen body longitudinal axis. The device includes a gauge measurement device adapted to measure a dimension between adjacent wraps of wrap wire on the screen body and a wrap wire measurement device adapted to measure a dimension of the wrap wire. A controller is coupled to the gauge measurement device and wrap wire measurement device, and is adapted to adjust the rate of movement of the screen body along the screen body longitudinal axis in relation to the dimension between adjacent wraps of wire on the screen body and/or the measured dimension of the wrap wire.

  • Patent number: 6336094
    Abstract: A method for processing a file containing a financial statement in uncoded format such as a financial statement stored in an ASCII file. The starting locations of the various types of financial tables in the financial statement as indicated by their table titles are identified by grammar descriptors. When all the table titles in the file are identified, a table title is then selected for processing. Typically after the table title, there are the associated column headers for the table, and they are analyzed and determined. Following the column headers, there are lines of text that are separated into line items, where each line item is composed of a label and/or one or more numbers corresponding to the label. With these line items, the next task is to parse these line items to verify that these line items make up the table and to identify the components of the financial table. A financial table is comprised of line items, subtotals, and grand totals.
