Abstract:
An information retrieval system and method employing spatially selective features. The system includes a search interface, a map interface, a results table interface, and a Lasoo tool for selecting a search area. The method includes the steps of providing a search interface, providing a map interface, providing a results table interface, and providing a Lasoo tool for selecting a search area.
Abstract:
A gas fired heater 1 is provided and comprises a support structure 2 mounting an enclosed gas chamber 5 including an elongate distribution manifold 15. Alternate sets of open in-line slots 21 and parallel slots 22 orthogonal to the in-line slots 21 form a gas burner outlet. This provides very efficient gas distribution.
Abstract:
The heater 1 has a support 2 which mounts an enclosed gas chamber 5. The gas chamber 5 comprises an open-bottomed distribution manifold 15, in the top of which is formed a gas burner outlet. The outlet is formed by alternate sets of slots, in-line slots 21 which are parallel to the front of chamber 5 and, preferably sets of eight, parallel slots 22 orthogonal to the in-line slots 21. A filter is located below the slots 21, 22 in the manifold 15. A rear chamber 25 similar to the manifold 15 though without slots is provided adjacent the rear of gas chamber 5. A gas distribution device, a pilot light device 35, ignition mechanism 37 and gas control valve (32, fig 2) are also provided. Artificial fuel is located at the front of the heater. Heat transfer baffles 26, 27, and 28 may be provided which extend rearwardly, upwardly and forwardly of the gas chamber 5. An oxygen depletion sensor may be connected to gas control valve 32. Preferably control valve 32 is connected to a microprocessor (51, fig 6) which can be activated by remote (53, fig 5). A variable aeration valve may also be provided. The heater aims to create a realistic flame effect with high and low flames.

6204. Stewart, J. March 20. Producers.-In a water-bottom producer having a grate mounted to rotate on an horizontal axis, for example as described in Specification No. 15,074, A.D. 1906, pivoted plates 9 are provided for controlling the discharge of ashes from the producer. The plates are slotted to allow the passage of the projections 6 on the grate, and the portion between the slots may be solid, or formed as fingers, or as a grating.

9666. Stewart, J., and Burt, J. April 29. Rolling.-A railway axle or similar bar is rolled from a bar blank of uniform diameter and about equal in weight to the finished article. The blank is rolled in a set of three or more rolls d, e, f rotating in the same direction and of a shape corresponding to the finished article. The top roll is provided with collars d to prevent end flow of the metal, and all the rolls have gaugecollars h to limit the closing of the rolls, the blank being rolled into a finished article without surplus metal. Hydraulic rams are provided in each housing to raise and lower the top roll.
