Abstract: A system for storing and disseminating knowledge contained in documents includes a document annotator that creates a structured syntactic textual model of each of the documents, an ontology directed extractor that extracts properties from the textual models, a database for storing the textual models and the properties, and an interface permitting queries to the database. The document annotator includes a plurality of data transformers and a plurality of custom annotator tools. The ontology directed extractor includes an ontology based schema definition and a plurality of ontology based data transformers. The user interface includes the ability to view, search, navigate, create, and exchange documents. The creation feature includes a transclusion function.

Abstract: A sofa-bed mechanism for use in a sofa body having a relatively low seating level. The mechanism includes four sections foldable within the sofa body and alternatively extensible out of the sofa body to define a bed. The linkage which connects the four sections to the sofa body, and controls movement of those sections, includes an arrangement for permitting the mechanism to be located at a low level within the sofa body, and the lower rear corner of the mechanism to swing through a shallower arc than usual. The linkage also includes an arrangement for preventing the top section from experiencing opening movement, and for preventing the rear supporting leg of the mechanism from opening, until the sections move out from beneath the sofa body breast rail and the rear leg passes over the sofa body front rail.
