Title: A Rainwater Harvesting System
Inventor: HALLAHAN KEVIN
IPC: E03B1/04
Filed: 2012-08-17
Abstract: The system comprises gutters 2 on a building for collecting rainwater and delivering rainwater via a downpipe 3 to a rainwater collecting tank 4. A water feed pipe 6 communicates between the rainwater collecting tank and a water storage tank 7 in the building for delivery of water by means of a pump 8 from the rainwater collecting tank to the water storage tank. The water storage tank is also connected to a mains water supply 9 via a mains water valve 10 for maintaining a desired water level in the water storage tank, if insufficient rainwater is collected to maintain the water storage tank at the required level. A water top-up pipe 12 communicates between the water storage tank and the rainwater collecting tank for delivering mains water from the water storage tank to the rainwater collecting tank by means of the pump when a low level of water is sensed in the rainwater collecting tank for a preset period. A pair of three-way water flow control valves 20, 26 are operable to allow the pump to deliver rainwater from the rainwater collecting tank to the water storage tank via the water feed pipe or to delivery mains water from the water storage tank to the rainwater collecting tank via the top-up pipe and bypass line (34).

Title: Coolant fluid feed to fuel cell stacks
Inventor: KELLS ASHLEY JAMES
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2012-09-18
Abstract: A fuel cell stack assembly has a plurality of cells each having a fluid coolant conduit. A coolant feed manifold has a first inlet 15 and a second inlet 16 and is coupled to each fluid coolant conduit for distribution of fluid coolant within each cell. A pump 20 is coupled for delivery of fluid coolant to the coolant feed manifold through the first and second inlets. A flow control assembly is configured to periodically modify the relative flow rates of fluid coolant through the first and second inlets so that stagnant regions in the coolant feed manifold are avoided. The flow control assembly may also be adapted to periodically interrupt the flow path between the pump and the manifold such that the fluid coolant is delivered to the manifold intermittently, thereby enabling low water flows below a minimum set point of the pump.

Title: Voltage Supplies for Mass Spectrometers
Inventor: FRANZEN JOCHEN
IPC: H01J49/02
Filed: 2013-04-24
Abstract: The invention relates to the voltage supply of mass spectrometers, particularly electrostatic Kingdon ion analysers, requiring extremely noise-free operating voltages. The invention proposes the use of passive charge storage devices for example a capacitive voltage divider suitable for use in a vacuum (Figure 6), which may operate without any feedback control and which may display no measureable noise or ripple if well shielded, instead of using an active operating high-voltage generators. The divider may include ceramic insulating rods 60 and 61, to which overlapping plate parts are fixed, which supply the partial voltages 62 to 74. Chemical charge storage devices or capacitors with good insulation may be used as the passive device. These may display slight drifts due to continuous discharge, depending on their quality, but these drifts can be mathematically compensated.

Title: System and method for mobile PIN synchronisation
Inventor: MADDOCKS IAN
IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 2013-05-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for synchronizing a change in a personal identification number (PIN) value stored in a mobile computing device, with the corresponding PIN value stored on a remote server. The remote server receives a request from the mobile computing device to record a PIN value, the request comprising the PIN value. The PIN value is recovered from the received request and stored at the remote server. An instruction set arranged to record the PIN value in a secure hardware element comprised within the mobile computing device is generated and transmitted to the mobile computing device. The instruction set executes on the mobile computing device in order to record the PIN value on the secure hardware element. The mobile device sends a confirmation message to the server to confirm that the PIN was correctly recorded in the mobile device. If the server does not receive the confirmation from the mobile device, the server reverts to a previous PIN shared with the mobile device. The disclosure also details the use of symmetrical encryption keys and a first and second encryption key used sequentially.

Title: Systems and methods for self-service recycling of automotive parts
Inventor: MIKELONIS JON
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2014-01-29
Abstract: Systems and methods for self-service recycling are provided. In particular, some embodiments include graphical user interfaces and backend systems that allow users to identify the market for used automotive parts. For example, each car in a self-service automotive recycling (SSAR) facility may be tagged with a bar code or QR code which identifies the vehicle. When the user scans the QR code, a determination is made regarding which parts are currently needed for by register members of the system, recent prices for individual parts, and/or a list of vehicles which can use these parts. This information is presented to the user. Using this information, the user can determine if any of the identified parts remain on the vehicle and may purchase the parts from the SSAR facility for resale. The system then assists the user in creating descriptions for postings on the Internet and/or otherwise connecting the user with potential purchasers.

Title: Remote tuning and diagnostic interface for hands-free system
Inventor: JOSHI BIJAL
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 2014-07-10
Abstract: Operating parameters of a hands-free audio system used with a wireless communication device in a moving vehicle are adjusted or tuned in real-time and requires only two persons: one to drive the vehicle and thus provide actual usage conditions with the hands-free audio system and one to remotely tune or adjust operating parameters to optimize far end audio quality. The system is remotely tuned by transmitting audio signals from the vehicle to the far end using a first communications link to the far end and sending adjustment commands to the vehicle from the far end via a second, data link between the far end and the vehicle. In one aspect, DTMF signals received from inside or outside the vehicle can tune or be used to diagnose the hands-free system. Test measurements obtained from within and by the hands-free audio system can also be retrieved from a remote location.
