  • Patent number: 5986652
    Abstract: A GUI enabling instant access to a sequence of previously executed assistance programming GUIs. The assistance programming GUIs lead the user through a specific sequence of templates until an object is created. Within each template, various prompts will solicit information variables to complete the template. The assistance program will analyze the returned variables and determine a related next step template to complete the object according to a required finished product. As each step may diverge into branches based on user input, the final result becomes an interrelated sequence of steps specific to the session history of the object creation. The sequence of assistance templates are grouped into a tabular notebook. The notebook is arranged according to the original historical relationships created during the creation of the subject. Each tab is labeled to equate to the various title bars found within each individual template. To edit an information variable, the user would select a particular tab, i.e.

  • Patent number: 5936214
    Abstract: Access is restricted to the push buttons on electrical switching apparatus by a device which includes panel members hingedly mounted in a frame secured to the switch over the push buttons. The panels can be locked in the closed position over the respective push buttons by inserting a locking device through moveable staples molded on the panel members which align with a fixed staple molded on the frame between the panel members. A catch on the underside of the fixed staple is engaged by catch ledges on the panel members to retain the panel members in the closed position without locking. The transparent panel members have apertures too small for a finger, but through which a push button can be actuated by a tool with the panel member closed.

  • Patent number: 5787425
    Abstract: An object oriented framework for data mining operates upon a selected data source and produces a result file. Certain core functions are performed by the framework, which interact with the extensible function. This separation of core and extensible functions allows the separation of the specific processing sequence and requirement of a specific data mining operation from the common attribute of all data mining operations. The user may thus define extensible functions that allow the framework to perform new data mining operations without the framework having the knowledge of the specific processing required by those operations.

  • Patent number: 5745652
    Abstract: In a system comprising a plurality of resources for performing useful work, a resource allocation controller function, which is customized to the particular system's available resources and configuration, dynamically allocates resources and/or alters configuration to accommodate a changing workload. Preferably, the resource allocation controller is part of the computer's operating system which allocates resources of the computer system. The resource allocation controller uses a controller neural network for control, and a separate system model neural network for modelling the system and training the controller neural network. Performance data is collected by the system and used to train the system model neural network. A system administrator specifies computer system performance targets which indicate the desired performance of the system.

  • Patent number: 5663600
    Abstract: A wind turbine assembly includes a gear drive assembly having an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member, the inner member being positioned coaxially within the outer member. A pair of spaced bearings circumscribe the inner tubular member and support the outer member for rotation about the inner member. Propeller blades are coupled to the outer member for effecting rotation in response to wind. An electric power generator mounted to the inner member has a rotor shaft extending from one end. A gear unit is drivingly coupled between the rotor shaft and the outer member whereby rotation of the outer member is effective to cause rotation of the rotor shaft at a velocity substantially greater than a rotational velocity of the outer member for generating electric power from the generator.

  • Patent number: 5567262
    Abstract: A multi-stage pressure diffuser is provided for treating paper pulp or similar comminuted cellulosic fibrous material. Two different subvolumes are defined within the annular screen of the pressure diffuser by a tubular baffle hung from adjacent the top of the vessel, and a transverse wall near the middle of the vessel. Wash liquid is introduced into the top stage, extracted liquid passes through the bottom of the baffle, and is removed through a liquid outlet at the top of the vessel. That removed liquid is then reintroduced into the bottom stage as wash liquid, and the extracted liquid from the bottom stage is discharged from the vessel at the bottom. The screen assembly may be blanked at the area of the transverse wall dividing the subvolumes from each other, in order to minimize the possibility of mixing of the extraction flows in the different stages.

  • Patent number: 5411634
    Abstract: In a method of bleaching medium consistency pulp with ozone using a mixer, ozone containing gas and about 6-15% consistency pulp are fed to the mixer, and then discharged in a first, preferably vertical, path. The mixture of pulp and ozone moves in a first part of the vertical path a time period of about 1-5 seconds at a velocity of about 1-5 m/s so that the gas and pulp do not separate during movement in this first part, and the vast majority of the pulp brightening reaction between the ozone and pulp takes place. This is preferably accomplished by passing the mixture upwardly in a small diameter conduit having a height of about 3-20 meters. Then the velocity of the pulp is slowed while still moving in the first path, preferably by feeding it directly to a much larger diameter (e. g. 1.5-10 times) conduit, so the height of the unit may be kept under 100 feet. The pulp flows in the large diameter conduit for about 0.5-5 minutes so that residual reactions take place.

  • Patent number: 5183536
    Abstract: In an atmospheric diffuser for the treatment of paper pulp (thickening, bleaching, and/or washing) the flow of backflushing liquid is controlled so as to maximize the effective treatment of the pulp. The pulp passes upwardly in a vessel. A number of annular screen assemblies are provided, with at least one screen associated with each screen assembly. The lower screen includes a barrier wall with a passage in the barrier wall adjacent the bottom end of the screen. Liquid which flows through the screen must flow to the passage in order to be withdrawn from the vessel, as the screen is slowly moved upwardly. When the screen is rapidly moved downwardly to cause backflushing, the backflushing liquid at the top end of the screen is liquid that recently passed through the screen at that point, so the pulp at that point --which is the cleanest along the length of the screen--has a minimal chance of being contaminated.

  • Patent number: 4011489
    Abstract: A flux sensing coil is installed in each phase of the motor stator, and the resulting induced voltages represent the rate of change of air gap flux in that phase. The output voltage signals are integrated, rectified and summed to obtain an average motor flux signal which is in turn applied to vary the voltage to the motor in such a manner as to maintain a substantially constant motor flux level. In this way control errors due to motor parameter changes are eliminated and the flux margin normally required in motor design is reduced to achieve a more efficient utilization of the motor.
