Abstract: A method for zone analysis. A zone is identified in a three-dimensional physical model of a vehicle. The three-dimensional physical model includes geometry information and location information for physical components. An effect of an undesired operation of a group of components in a zone within the three-dimensional physical model of the vehicle is identified based on the three-dimensional physical model of the vehicle and a logical model of the vehicle including a logical architecture linking logical components to each other. Logical components in the logical model are mapped to the physical components in the three-dimensional physical model of the vehicle.

Abstract: A tunnel 2 for the in-line anti-bacterial treatment of plucked poultry carcasses (or other animal carcasses) with a liquid cryogen or a cold gas at a temperature of less than 0° C. has an entrance 18 and an exit 20 for the poultry carcasses. A monorail conveyor 22 extends from the entrance 18 to the exit 20 and passes thorough the tunnel 2. Poultry suspension shackles 24 are able to pass along the conveyor 22. Thus, poultry carcasses are able to be conveyed through the tunnel 2. The conveyor 22 may follow a path which reverses direction at least once.

Abstract: A tunnel for the in-line anti-bacterial treatment of plucked poultry carcasses (or other animal carcasses) with a liquid cryogen or a cold gas at a temperature of less than 0° C. has an entrance and an exit for the poultry carcasses. A continuous slot is formed in a roof of the tunnel and extends from the entrance to the exit. Poultry suspension shackles are able to pass through the slot. Thus, poultry carcasses are able to be conveyed through the tunnel. The slot follows a path which reverses direction at least once.

Abstract: Intelligent network service (“IN service”) may be invoked beyond initial call setup for additional call management by establishing trigger detection points that refer the call back to a service control point. Subsequent requests for IN service with respect to a particular call may be correlated with a previous request for IN service by providing correlation information to the service control point. Once correlated, information from both the earlier and later IN service requests are available to the service control point.

Abstract: Granule distributing apparatus comprises a container (1) having a discharge opening (3) for a product to be distributed and a duct member (6) connected to the discharge opening provides a distribution chamber (64) for the product. The duct member (6) is foldable between working and storage positions. In the working position it projects away from the container (1) and allows products to pass through the discharge opening (3) and along the distribution channel (64). In its storage position the duct member (6) obturates the discharge opening (3) and extends over the top of the container. A locking member (5) is preferably provided which is manipulatable to locate the duct member (6) in the working position and also serves to close an entry end of the distribution channel (64) when the duct member is in the storage position.
