Abstract: This document describes a method for preparing narrative content, particularly for presentation as a multi-sensory experience including audio and visual effects and the like. The method involves stripping details from the narrative content and replacing some of them with sensory effects so as to avoid providing too much detail. The method should enable content designers to better adapt content to be expressed on modern storytelling devices. A system is described to assist with the transformation and suggested output devices are also presented.

Abstract: An accumulator for an air conditioning system has a passage for oil to travel from an orifice to an outlet. To improve the percentage of oil flowing from the orifice to the outlet and/or the rate of flow, one or more oil vanes extend from or near the orifice to or near the outlet. Alternatively, instead of oil vanes, indentations could be used.

Abstract: An accumulator for an air conditioning system is adapted to ensure that any fluid exiting the accumulator has been filtered. Fluid comprising gaseous refrigerant, liquid refrigerant and oil enters the accumulator. Ideally, only gaseous refrigerant and oil will exit the accumulator. According to one embodiment, gaseous refrigerant is substantially separated from liquid refrigerant. Oil is entrained within the gaseous refrigerant. The gaseous refrigerant with the entrained oil is filtered prior to exiting the accumulator. In another embodiment, gaseous refrigerant, which has been separated from the liquid refrigerant, is filtered before the oil is entrained with it. The oil is then separately filtered.

Abstract: A deflector for an accumulator for an air conditioning system acts as a barrier to substantially prevent incoming liquid from entering a conduit which is primarily for gas. Fluid entering the accumulator comprises gas and liquid. The deflector also assists with the separation of gas from liquid, with reduced turbulence, to decrease the likelihood of liquid becoming re-entrained within the gas. An initial contact surface of the deflector receives the incoming fluid. The initial contact surface is substantially convex, so that liquid reflecting off the surface will be travel in a direction away (or different) from the flow of incoming fluid. The initial contact surface is also angled to direct liquid reflecting off it (or flowing down it) downward and outward.

Abstract: The present invention involves an aluminum-based alloy composition for vehicle components. The composition consists essentially of between about 0.15 to 0.6% weight silicon to provide recrystallization, between about 0.2 to 0.7% weight iron, between about 0.4 to 0.6% weight copper, between about 1.1 to 1.4% weight manganese, between about 0.15 to 0.3% weight magnesium, between about 0.15 to 0.4% weight zinc, between about 0.1 to 0.15% weight zirconium, and the balance aluminum.

Abstract: A desiccant container for use in an accumulator or a receiver/dryer of a vehicle includes at least one integral mesh screen for preventing small particles from passing therethrough. Preferably, the container includes two integral mesh screens, one forming an upper surface of the desiccant container and the other forming a lower surface of the desiccant container. By incorporating integral mesh screens, the container need not include separate filters.

Abstract: A fish fighting apparatus for assisting an angler in the capture of large hooked fish providing an angler with a lever arm which is attached to the rod holder and which is rotatably attached to a base which is attached to the boat. The lever arm can receive force from the angler's legs via attached pedals. A rotatable, adjustable seat is also connected to the base. The base is free to rotate to allow the rod to point in the approximate direction of the fish. A drag assembly prevents unwanted movement of the chair when subjected to the effects of wave action.
