Abstract: Method for preparing classified advertisements for publication in printed media, comprising the steps of: capturing (112) at least the textual content (30) of each classified advertisement expressed in natural language, automatically classifying and extracting (120-124) a plurality of data units (480) out of said textual content (30) and storing each data unit into a corresponding field of a record (48) in an electronic database (9), using said database for determining the textual content, the layout and/or the position of the classified advertisement in said printed media.

Abstract: The tensile or compressive stress in a threaded member is determined by subtracting an unscrewing torque from a screwing torque, and dividing the resulting torque difference by a coefficient proportional to the screw pitch of the member. The torque values are recorded either statically at the screwing and unscrewing rest limit, or dynamically in a series of corresponding screwing and unscrewing positions. The method is particularly useful for measuring, monitoring and controlling stress in threaded fastening members used in screwed joints.
