20090219707 | Adjustable lens with self-illuminated scale - An adjustable lens with a self-illuminating scale for use in photography, cinematography, or videography has a housing surface with scale markings and an opaque member with a reference marking mounted over and movable relative to the surface. The movement of the member normally adjusts a parameter of the lens. The scale markings are visible through a window in the member. The edge of the member adjacent the scale has an opening. A light source is situated within a recess in the member adjacent the opening. Light is directed from the light source through the edge opening in a direction along the surface of the surface such that the visible scale markings are illuminated, while light from the light source is otherwise substantially prevented from escaping from the lens. The activation and intensity of the light source is controlled by movement of the member or an external illumination controller. | 09-03-2009 |

20090193095 | USING MESSAGE CONTENT TO GROUP MESSAGES - In a message grouping application, the broker/ESB architecture allows the messages mid-flow to pause and collecting them into groups according to a correlation string that is calculated from the content of the messages. Furthermore, minimum/maximum quantity and timeout constraints are applied to the group. Once a collection, as a group of related messages, is deemed complete, they are combined into one message and routed or transformed as directed in their combined content. This scheme allows message processing to be batched according to the combined business meaning of multiple inputs. | 07-30-2009 |

20110173998 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR COOLING - The invention relates to the creation of hybrid refrigeration systems. In one embodiment a low pressure booster circuit is linked to an absorption plant to provide cooling at lower temperatures that can be achieved by the absorption plant alone. The combined systems are efficient compared to vapour compression systems, especially when “waste” heat from other processes is used to drive the absorption part of the circuit. The absorption plant can be provided with heat either by direct firing of a fuel, by waste heat from a combined heat and power (CHP) prime mover (such as a gas engine or gas turbine for example), or by any suitable source of waste heat from another process. | 07-21-2011 |
