Abstract: A tilting mechanism comprises a first component intended to mount a flat panel display and a second component intended to be secured to a support. The first component has first and second pivots and the second component has first and second elongated slots into which the first and second pivots respectively are received so that the first component can be moved relative to the second component to adjust, in use, the tilt of the flat panel display. In use, an upper one of the elongated slots extends at an angle upwardly and forwardly of the second component, whilst the lower one of the elongated slots extends upright or upwardly and rearwardly of the second component.

Abstract: An adjustable mount for mounting a flat panel display screen on a support comprises a first component adapted for securement to said support and forming a rear of the mount, a second component engaged with the first component and forming a front of the mount to which the screen is intended to be secured, in use, and adjustment means acting between the first and second components to alter the relative positioning therebetween.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is directed to automatically extending a task in a project schedule. If certain information items associated with a task are not specified, the scheduled completion time for a task may be automatically extended under the assumption that if these information items are unknown, the task will take longer to complete than originally planned. The project schedule, incorporating the automatically extended tasks, may then be displayed.

Abstract: A one-piece single metal spinneret is disclosed having a capillary zone with capillaries of a length more than 1.5 times the capillary diameter and a yield strength, outside the capillary zone, of greater than 350 MPa. A process for making the spinneret is, also, disclosed.

Abstract: A process for making a spinneret from a single body of metal with a yield strength of more than 350 MPa involving drilling lead spinneret holes into the mass of the body, annealing only a thin layer of the body opposite the lead holes, and forming capillary spinneret holes through the annealed layer to connect with the lead holes.

Abstract: A method of constructing a spiral staircase to the specifications of an architect comprising the steps of taking a plurality of flat rectangular sheets of metal and cutting the front edge at an angle to form the front edge of a tread. Then cutting a pair of stringers in the sheet of metal and bending the stringers downward until they are perpendicular to the tread. Then cutting a riser at the back of the sheet of metal and bending the riser upward. Once a plurality of sheets of metal are formed as outlined above they may be assembled by attaching the stringers of one sheet to the risers of another, forming a spiral staircase. A base for the staircase to rest on and attach the first step to should be employed. The base should be attached to the floor. The base may be made from a rectangular sheet of metal by cutting the front edge at the same angle as the front edge of the tread and then bending a front and rear support for the base in the sheet of metal.
