Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for intelligent grouping and presentation of search results. In embodiments, the present technology groups results into relevant categories, and presents the categorized results on a single screen or small set of screens. The most relevant results for each category may be displayed in graphical tiles that a user may select to view more details on the search results. Alternatively, a user may select, or pivot on, a category heading to get more results for a given category.

Abstract: An optical trocar assembly has an elongated tubular member for receiving an endoscope which defines a longitudinal axis and has an open proximal end and a closed, optically clear distal end which is adapted for penetrating body tissue. The optical trocar assembly has a handle releasably connected to the elongated tubular member and which defines a passage which is coaxial with the longitudinal axis and which has a distal portion and proximal portion. The distal portion receives the open proximal end and the proximal portion defines a tapering opening. A locking collet is positioned within the tapering opening having a through bore which is coaxial with the longitudinal axis and the tapering external surface.

Abstract: A sandwich press and grill apparatus. The apparatus comprising a lower housing and an upper housing, each hingedly interconnected. The lower housing is adapted to releasably engage a lower cooking plate, the lower housing including a first temperature sensor adapted to be in thermal communication with an engaged lower cooking plate. The upper housing is coupleable to an upper cooking plate. A temperature controller is adapted to receive at least one temperature set point signal and to control the temperature of the lower cooking plate and the upper cooking plate.

Abstract: A beverage container carrier comprises a handle and a plurality of compartments, each compartment adapted to contain at least one beverage container. The handle has a longitudinal axis and defines a central plane which when carried is orientated substantially vertically. Each compartment is disposed relative to the central plane such that a longitudinal axis of the beverage container located in a respective compartment is disposed at an angle to the central plane.

Abstract: A gaming system comprising: means configured to establish a trail comprised of a succession of trail elements of which at least one or more are associated with a prize, progression from one element to another along said trail being dependent upon the completion of tasks by a punter in the course of playing a game; means for determining, at the outset of a said game, the trail element to which the punter could progress in the course of playing the game; and means for controlling the provision of tasks for completion by the punter in the course of the game, said controlling means being configured to ensure that the punter is not provided with a number of tasks that, if completed, would enable the punter to progress to a trail element beyond that which the punter has been predetermined by said determining means to attain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ablative thermolysis reactor (12) comprising a reaction vessel (20), and inlet (14) into the reaction vessel (20) for receiving feedstock, and an outlet from the reaction vessel (20) for discharging thermolysis product. Within the reaction vessel (20), is provided an ablative surface (20a) defining the periphery of a cylinder, and heating means (22) are arranged to heat the ablative surface (20a) to an elevated temperature. In addition at least one rotatable surface (28) having an axis of rotation coincident with the longitudinal axis of said cylinder. The rotatable surface (28) is provided relative to the ablative surface (20a) such that feedstock is pressed between a part of the rotatable surface (28) and said ablative surface (20a) and moved along the ablative surface (20a) by the rotatable surface (28), whereby to thermolyse said feedstock.

Abstract: An engine mounted skid plate including a skid plate body, a support structure, and a mounting structure. The support structure is secured to the skid plate body and serves to reinforce same. The mounting structure is secured to the support structure and is directly and removably attached to the engine. The skid plate body is supported and disposed relatively beneath the engine by the support structure and the mounting structure. By being directly attached to the engine, the skid plate exploits the resilient suspension of the engine and transmission and is thereby better able to handle severe impacts.
