Patent GB-0305272-D0 (GB)
Title: Image forming device and image formation control method
IPC: B41J21/00
Filed: 2003-03-07
Abstract: An image forming device for printing a page which incorporates content data acquired from a reference destination, capable of starting printing earlier. A display analyzing section (33) analyzes a printing document and lays out a document element for tentative page dividing. In the laying out, for a document element whose content data needs to be acquired from a reference destination, a tentative size is used and, for a document element having content data of a known rendering size, the rendering size is used. A document manager (45) monitors a state of acquisition of the content data and instructs a rendering section (34), upon detection of completion of acquisition of content data to be laid out on a first page, to render the image of the page.

Title: Intermittent pneumatic compression device
IPC: A61H23/04
Filed: 2003-12-12
Abstract: A compression garment ( 1 ) that wraps around a limb has a bladder ( 3 ) inflated by a pump (not shown) to apply pressure to a specific area of the limb in order to empty the veins in that limb and upon release of that pressure by deflation the bladder ( 3 ), there is increased blood flow in the arterial system. The garment ( 1 ) also warms the tissues, typically between 32 and 42 degree centigrade, the heating achieved by passing an electric current through a conductive material ( 5 ) that coverts the electrical energy into heat. The material ( 5 ) and an outer layer ( 6 ) of the garment are joined at their peripheries enclosing the bladder ( 3 ) within. The garment ( 1 ) provides all round warming of the limb and gradual compression to a part of the limb at low pressure, proven to be effective in improving arterial blood flow and more comfortable to the user.

Patent GB-0721186-D0 (GB)
Title: Applications
Filed: 2007-10-29
Abstract: An applicator for applying a substance in liquid, paste or gel form comprises a container (2), of which a portion is flexible and which includes an applicator portion, which is arcuate in cross-section and in which one or more first apertures (14) is formed. An elastic valve membrane (18) is connected to and overlies the applicator portion and one or more second apertures (22) are formed in it. The first apertures (14) are offset from the second apertures (22). The valve membrane (18) normally engages the applicator portion and the first apertures (14) are thus normally closed by the valve membrane (18) but the application of pressure to the flexible portion of the container produces an increase of the pressure of the container which results in the valve membrane (18) being forced away from the applicator portion against its elasticity. The second apertures (22) are slits, which are closed when the valve membrane (18) is in engagement with the applicator portion but which are open when the valve membrane (18) is forced away from the applicator portion.

Title: Time-of-flight mass spectrometer
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 1998-07-17
Abstract: A time-of-flight mass spectrometer, for example, a MALDI-TOF spectrometer, measures the characteristics of the charge to mass ratio of ionized particles by measuring the time taken for the particles to travel a pre-determined distance. The spectrometer comprises an accelerator (14) which accelerates the particles along at least two paths, which may be contained in a single beam of charged particles. Two detectors (26 and 30) mark the ends of the paths and are operable to detect the particles travelling therealong. The length of the path leading to the first detector (26) differs from that of the path leading to the second detector (30) to a sufficient extent to enable the difference in detection times of corresponding particles at the two detectors to be used to provide a measurement of said characteristics. Variations in initial velocities and/or ionization times of the particles will have similar effect on the outputs of both detectors so that one detector can, in effect, be used to calibrate or correct the output of the other detector.
