    摘要: A water soluble barrier coating formulation for treating an interior surface of a cargo tank, the formulation comprising a solvent and a rheological additive configured to increase the viscosity of the solvent to allow the substantially liquid formulation to adhere to the interior surface and not drain away under gravity. The formulation is configured to inhibit absorption of a liquid cargo and in particular a hydrocarbon based cargo at the inner surface of the cargo tank so as to eliminate the requirement for detergents and aggressive solvents in order to clean the interior surface following cargo transportation. The time required to clean the cargo tanks is also reduced. The formulation is configured to be sprayed onto the interior surface and simply removed by washing with excess water, in particular hot water

    摘要: A flexible band with clip-on watch module includes a band, a watch movement, a display, a surrounding case and an attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism has several embodiments. These include a channel beneath the case comprised of two pair of opposed prongs; an elastic member passed beneath the band and the case and secured to ridges on the top surface of the case; an underband platform suspended from the case with retaining members at a side edge; a hingedly attached retaining clip that encloses the band and snaps onto a side of the case; one or more lateral slots in a side edge of the case into which the band is inserted; and a curved support platform under the watch module with retaining notches at either end for retention of a folded and flattened band. The case, recess, channel and attachment mechanism may be curved to better fit the wrist.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are concerned with allocating resources to tasks and have particular application to situations where the availability of resources and the tasks to be performed change dynamically and the resources are mobile.When dealing with a mobile resource such as a field technician, typically a series of tasks, known for example as a “tour” of tasks, is allocated to the resource. A known factor in scheduling tasks in a tour is travel time between tasks, and as a result the geographical position of the tasks can be a factor in building a tour. If a resource reports in and the scheduling system adjusts the provisional schedule, for example by adding one or more tasks to a tour, those tasks will be chosen at least in part with regard to the geographical location of the resource and that of existing tasks in the tour. This assessment is conventionally performed on the basis of the coordinates of the task completed by the resource (which are fixed), and is adequate when the resource is physically present at the task location when he reports in. However, in practice, a resource may not be at the expected geographical location of the last task dealt with. For example, a telephone technician may go back to the telephone exchange before reporting in; in such a situation, any decisions as regards adjustment of the schedule may be based on inaccurate data and result in a degenerative modification to the schedule.Embodiments of the invention utilise a selection criterion that enables actual location data to be used for scheduling of future work: this selection criterion is associated with the status of the resource in relation to progress with a given task, and can most appropriately be identified on the basis of whether or not the resource has completed a task. An advantage of basing the use of actual location data on this criterion is that the state of the resource is relatively stable in relation to various anchor points in the schedule when a task has been completed. As a result a point that is known with some confidence in the schedule can be mapped to the present location of the resource.
