| 20110125376 | AUTOMATIC DOWNHILL SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM - A method for automatically controlling the downhill speed of a machine. The method includes establishing a target machine speed based on a current machine speed and determining whether at least one trigger condition including a grade greater than a predetermined threshold has been satisfied. If satisfied, the method activates a control system to control at least one of a powertrain retarder and a change in a transmission gear to prevent exceeding the target machine speed. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20110253677 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREHEATING IN WELDING OPERATIONS - Apparatus for pre-heating tubular articles prior to welding and a method of using the apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a support for carrying tubular articles such that they can be rotated together about long axis of the articles. A heater has a heating head that can be placed adjacent a region to be welded. The articles can be rotated so the region to be welded passes the heating head and is thereby heated to enable it to be welded subsequently. The heater is typically an induction heater. The method of welding tubular articles comprises mounting the articles in the support of a pre-heating apparatus of a welding installation embodying the invention and rotating the articles such that a weld region passes adjacent to the heating head. Then a part of the weld region is welded after it has rotated past and has been heated by the heating head. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20080214424 | Soluble Unit Dose of Laundry Detergent - A soluble unit dose of laundry detergent which comprises: a) a thin walled hard capsule, having a wall thickness between 0.07 and 0.3 mm and, c) within the thin walled hard capsule a detergent composition comprising at least 1 g of surfactant, which makes up at least 45% wt of the detergent composition. wherein the solubility of the capsule and the detergent composition is such that it will reach a level of 90% of eventually dissolved electrolytes in stirred demineralised water at 25° C. in less than 35 seconds. By choice of a capsule with this wall thickness the solubility is ensured while pressure caking of the contents is resisted to minimise overall dissolution time. | 09-04-2008 |
