Abstract: Pusher apparatus and a method of using the apparatus inserts a flexible liner into an in-situ pipe. At least a pair of contra-rotating resilient drive assemblies, having a nip therebetween, drive the liner into the pipe. A guide tube can extend between the drive assemblies and the pipe. A pull head can be affixed to a leading end of the liner and adapted for sealing within a bore of the pipe and pressured fluid can be applied to pull a leading end of the liner into the pipe while the pusher pushes. The contra-rotating resilient drive assemblies can be one or more pair of opposing wheels or opposing tracks. Track assemblies can be mounted to a frame which is movable on rails and restrained with a load cell for measuring reactive forces while pushing. The rails can be angled for aligning the nip with the pipe.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides an apparatus and method for use in a gaming application. The apparatus comprises an input for receiving a non-predictable input number, K; and an output for presenting a graphical selector comprising N options. The graphical selector is configured to step in sequence through the N options in accordance with the received number K to select one of the N options. This therefore transforms the non-predictable input number K into a selection of an output option for use in the gaming application.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides apparatus comprising an input for receiving a lottery number, K, from a lottery draw or other source of unpredictable numbers, and an output for presenting a graphical selector comprising N options. The graphical selector steps in sequence through said N options in accordance with the received lottery number K to select an option. The output can be incorporated into a broadcast television signal as part of a lottery program, and used to drive other material in the program, as well as providing an application for other platforms, such as mobile telephones and the Internet.

Abstract: Apparatus for driving a flexible composite liner into an existing pipe in an excavation comprises contra-rotating wheels for driving flexible liner therebetween and into a guide tube extending between the driving wheels and the existing pipe. The guide tube forms a curved path to align the liner with the existing pipe. A port is formed in a linear portion of the guide tube enables insertion and connection of an optional inflexible bullet to the leading end of the flexible liner. The drive wheels are preferably assisted by transverse guide wheels. The existing pipe is exposed in an excavation. A trailer with the drive wheels is positioned adjacent the excavation, a guide tube is installed to extend between the trailer and the existing pipe forming a curved path, a spool of flexible liner is provided and driven through the guide tube to be aligned with and inserted into the existing pipe.
