Abstract:
A master hoisting platform, comprising: an outer frame removably installable inside a floor of a multi-floor building under construction; and an inner frame slidable in the outer frame between a retracted position inside the floor and an extended position outside the floor; wherein the inner frame comprises a framework structure to mount a hoist comprising a winch positioned rearwardly above the inner frame, and a sheave positioned forwardly above the inner frame.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of controlling usage of a computing device comprising: receiving, on a parent computing device, a list of device services available on a child computing device, selecting, on the parent computing device, parental restrictions on one or more categories of device services; receiving, at a server, the parental restrictions; transmitting, from the server, the parental restrictions to the child computing device; implementing the parental restrictions on the child computing device to restrict access to the device service(s) categorised under the one or more selected categories.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, by one or more computing devices, one or more billing instructions from one or more payees that correspond to one or more bills for payment by one or more payers; transforming, by the one or more computing devices, the one or more billing instructions into the one or more bills; presenting, by the one or more computing devices, the one or more bills to the one or more payers; receiving, by the one or more computing devices, one or more payment instructions from the one or more payers that correspond to one or more payment instruments for paying the one or more bills; sending, by the one or more computing devices, the one or more payment instructions to one or more electronic payment systems to use the one or more payment instruments to pay the one or more bills.
Abstract:
Multiple record management functionality can be used for bulk PNR creation. The multiple record management functionality can take a structured input file containing travel requests and process the requests, such as by a set of client-specific rules, to create shell PNRs with the air segments and profile information included. The multiple record management functionality can also provide a reporting capability to detail the outcome of individual requests or a set of requests. Preference-driven bookings can be made based on a customer-defined overall value proposition. Bookings can be made for non-profiled travelers.
Abstract:
A machine-implemented method, comprising: heat-sterilising water; cooling the sterilised water; removably receiving a capsule containing powdered infant milk formula in a capsule chamber; injecting the cooled, sterilised water into the capsule chamber and through the capsule to form liquid infant milk formula; steam-sterilising the capsule chamber after removal of the capsule.
Abstract:
A method comprising the steps performed by a specially programmed computer of: receiving a predicted usage by customers of a utility having fixed costs and variable usage prices; establishing a fund for hedging volatility risk in the variable usage prices by combining contributions from the customers based on the predicted usage and a volatility margin to offset the volatility risk; determining a fixed, predicted usage price for the customers based on historic variable usage prices, forecast variable usage prices, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
A system, comprising: a conveyor to controllably move a substrate; a nozzle head controllably movable relative to the conveyor; an edge detector associated with the nozzle head to detect a leading edge of the substrate; and a control system coupled to the conveyor, nozzle head and edge detector to selectively and individually control both speed of the conveyor and position of the nozzle head relative to the conveyor in response to first and second leading edge detections to thereby position the substrate in a predetermined position for application of liquid flux by the nozzle head.
Abstract:
A method, comprising: displaying a list of tasks on a touch-sensitive display of a mobile device; detecting a gesture on one of the tasks in the list that satisfies a predetermined condition corresponding to an action relating to the one task; and in response to the gesture satisfying the predetermined condition, executing the action in relation to the one task.
