Patent GB-0706054-D0 (GB)
Title: Token bus communication system
Filed: 2007-03-29
Abstract: In a token bus system a node with the token can transmit on the bus a packet that contains two destination addresses. One address specifies the node that should receive the data component (payload) of the transmitted packet. The other address specifies the node that should receive the token. The network protocol specifies that a node with the token must immediately transmit a packet containing just the token or a packet with token and data if it has data to send. When no data is being passed from one node to another on the network, the token may be passed from one node to the next in order. Each node will pass the token to the next highest node number. If a node has the token has some data for sending it transmits a packet with the token for the next node and data for any of the nodes. The bus system requires every node to receive all packets and process them to determine whether the token or the data (or both) is destined for that node.

A capacitor (C1-C4) is connected in parallel with each of the protection and stabilization diodes (D1-D4).
Patent GB-0804253-D0 (GB)
Title: Routing across a virtual network
Filed: 2008-03-07
Abstract: A data center can share processing resources using virtual networks. A virtual machine manager (10) hosts one or more virtual machines (11, 411), the virtual machines forming part of a segmented virtual network (34). Outgoing messages from the virtual machines have an intermediate destination address of an intermediate node in a local segment of the segmented virtual network, and the virtual machine manager has a router (18) for determining a new intermediate destination address outside the local segment, for routing the given outgoing message. By having the router as part of the virtual machine manager rather than having only a switch in the virtual machine manager, the need for virtual machines for implementing gateways is avoided. This can reduce the number of hops for the message between virtual entities hosted, and thus improve performance. This can help a service provider to share physical processing resources of a data center between different clients having their own virtual networks.

IPC: B23P6/04
Filed: 1983-02-18
Abstract: A method of repairing in a turbine blade (10) having a lacing wire hole (13), said method comprising the steps of: (a) removing the lacing wire (15) and any damaged material from the blade (10) around the lacing wire hole (13);  (b) inserting a piece of new material (21) in said lacing wire hole; (c) securing said piece of material (21) in place by fused metal (27, 28); (d) subjecting at least that part of the blade to which repair has been effected to a heat treatment process to relieve residual stress; (e) machining the repaired part of the blade (10) to return the blade to its original form  (f) reforming the lacing wire hole (13). Such a method of repair reduces the occurence of residual stress in the turbine blade due to repair and reduces the risk of premature damage to the repaired area.

Patent GB-8916099-D0 (GB)
Title: Closure for containers
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1989-07-13
Abstract: A container closure moulded from plastics material has a top 10, an internally screw-threaded skirt 11, and a tamper-evident ring 13 connected to the bottom edge of the skirt by frangible bridges 15. The radially inner surface of the ring 13 is formed with an odd number of evenly spaced inwardly projecting protrusions 16 for engaging under a security band on the neck of a container. The use of an odd number of protrusions ensures that no two protrusions are diametrically opposite each other and in consequence permits the closure to shift or wriggle diametrally during application of the closure to a container and thus facilitates movement of the ring 13 past the security band. An annular groove 20 is formed on the radially-outer surface of the ring at a location axially between the upper ends of the protrusions 16 and the bridges 15, and serves to form an annular hinge about which the lower parts of the ring 13 can pivot during application of the closure.

Title: Remote protection of three phase distribution transformers
IPC: H02H3/44
Filed: 1990-06-08
Abstract: It is desirable to provide remote digital protection of distribution transformers. A protection system is disclosed which is able to detect increases in transient D.C. current flowing in the respective phases of a distribution cable (10) feeding a transformer and also to detect increases in other selected functions of supply parameters for identifying and quantifying a fault current flowing in the distribution cable (10). Increases in these other functions are analysed to identify whether the increases indicate a fault current. Any such fault current can then be quantified and the triggering of a circuit breaker (19) initiated to isolate the supply cable on identifying a fault current. The circuit breaker (19) is not triggered for any increases in the other functions for as long as there is a detected increase in D.C. current in any phase.

The structural part which is preassembled in this way, after being brought with a predeterminable axial force against the other structural part which also has a sealing seat, can be firmly connected in axial direction to the other structural part.
Patent GB-9622304-D0 (GB)
Title: Sensor
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 1996-10-26
Abstract: A sensor uses an immobilized affinity component capable of interacting with analyte species and being associated with a conducting polymer such that the interaction of the affinity component and the analyte induces change in the electrical properties of the polymer. An AC signal is applied to the polymer, and the induced change in impedance resulting from the interaction is measured. The impedance is measured at a frequency or frequencies corresponding to a peak or peaks in the relationship between frequency and impedance change for the polymer and the analyte. The measurement may be made by reference to the imaginary or real component of impedance. The polymer may be in the form of a layer bridging two electrodes between which the impedance is measured. The two electrodes may together define an interdigitated electrode assembly.
