Abstract: The invention provides a method for method for producing construction timber planks, construction timber and laminated planks or beams. The method includes the steps of sawing debarked and plantation dried logs from Eucalyptus trees having a moisture content of 18% or higher into planks having lengths suitable for the next step as described below. The planks are cross cut into lengths of about 0.5 m to 2.5 m and their end edges are profiled for finger jointing. The end edges of a series of profiled planks are joined by longitudinally pressing end edges together using a polyurethane glue to lengths required for construction timber planks.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system includes a processor and an interface. The processor determines an entity, a plurality of process groupings associated with the entity, a plurality of processes associated with the entity, a plurality of risks associated with the entity, and a plurality of controls associated with the entity. For each of the controls, the processor calculates one or more weighted control scores for the control. For each of the risks, the processor calculates an inherent risk score for the risk and a residual risk score for the risk. For each of the processes, the processor calculates a residual risk score for the process. The interface communicates for display, for each of the process groupings, an image representing the process grouping. The interface further communicates for display, for each of the processes, an image representing the process and an indication of the residual risk score for the process.

For each of the processes, the processor calculates a residual risk score for the process and determines a process weight associated with the process. The processor further calculates a residual risk score for the entity based on each of the residual risk scores of the processes and each of the process weights associated with the processes. The interface communicates for display an indication of the residual risk score for the entity.

Abstract: A security system for a computer system imposes specific limitations on who has access to the computer system and to exactly what operations and data. Viruses are securely contained and prevented from expanding into areas where they can destroy stored programs or data. Viruses are also prevented from being introduced or executed in a large number of instances. The totality of computer functions is broken up into a set of events with an associated set of capabilities and different capabilities are assigned to each user depending on the particular job which that user is to do on the computer system. Also, security labels are placed on each data file and other system resources, and on each process. Further, a range of hierarchy/category labels (MAC labels) is assigned to each process to define a sub-lattice in which special capabilities can apply.

Abstract: A rollermill having a pair of grinding rolls, one fixed and one movable to enable separation of the grinding surfaces thereof, the movable roll being mounted on a pair of pivoted arms, a spring being provided for urging the movable roll into grinding contact with the fixed roll, there being a pair of rigid members held against relative movement by a shear pin for non-resiliently maintaining said movable roll in grinding contact, the shear pin being adapted to fail when a roll-separating force is established in excess of the sum of the force applied by the spring and the force necessary to cause said shear pin to fail, whereby in the event of failure of said shear pin said grinding surfaces continue to be maintained in grinding relationship resiliently by said spring.
