  • Methods for providing an accurate visual rendition of a text element formatted with an unavailable font
    Patent number: 7478325
    Abstract: Methods and systems permit rendering a text element formatted using unavailable or restricted fonts. In one embodiment, when producing a document that contains a restricted font, text portions formatted with the restricted font are processed into an alternate representation. A textual representation for the text portions and the additional representation(s) are embedded in a document or container. A unique representation for the restricted font file allows a consuming computing system to attempt to find the restricted font locally. Each textual representation is rendered using its corresponding restricted font, if the restricted font file is found. Otherwise, the additional representation(s) are used.
    Type: Grant

  • Rehabilitation of water supply pipes
    Patent number: 6857451
    Abstract: A water supply pipe has a tubular liner of a polyolefin elastomer/plastomer installed therein. To install it, a messenger pig is attached to a line that pulls the liner through the pipe. The liner is produced by extrusion and die drawing during extrusion.

  • Rehabilitation of water supply pipes
    Patent number: 6644356
    Abstract: Device for use in rehabilitation of water supply pipes includes a tubular liner (10) which is deployed through a pipe (11) for example by a line attached to a messenger pig which is propelled through the pipe. The liner (10) has a multi-lobed pleated cross-section, and is of a polyolefin elastomer material, e,g, a substantially linear ethylene inter-polymer. The liner is extruded and die drawn during extrusion to produce a reduced diameter highly oriented structure.
