Title: Sheath for a users arm allowing user to manually unblock toilet
Inventor: LANCASTER JULIE
IPC: E03C1/30
Filed: 2012-03-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a toilet unblocking apparatus (24 figure 3) in the form of a sleeve or sheath or glove 26 having an opening 26a and a closed end. The sheath 26 is dimensioned so as to be suitable for receiving a human arm 30, which may be inserted into the opening 26a until the hand reaches the closed end. Since the sheath is waterproof and extends sufficiently far up the arm, no part of the arm comes directly into contact with the contents of the bowl 12. The sheath may comprise reinforced portions, have retainers (28 figure 3) for suspending the sheath and may also be made from biodegradable water soluble material. Furthermore, the frusto-conical shape of the sheath allows for a relatively close fit with the arm, such that the opening 26a of the sheath does not fall into the water, thereby exposing the arm to contamination. A later embodiment relates to a method of unblocking the toilet.

Title: Constructing instructions for a mainframe by embedding programming in job control language, and executing those instructions at the mainframe
Inventor: TAYLOR JOHN
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2012-04-17
Abstract: Instructions for a mainframe system are constructed by a client device by embedding an interpreted language program 121 in a job control language instruction 120, preferably by means of user input 112 and a suitable template 111. The nested instruction set 122 is sent 502 to the mainframe system 130, where it copies the interpreted language program to a temporary dataset/cache 142 and executes the commands within that program whilst it is in the temporary dataset. The mainframe may delete the cache once the program has been executed. The embedding of instructions allows any client device to access and provide commands to the mainframe without complex emulation protocols or the use of server-stored programs.

Title: Pumped storage system using tide to maintain water level in lower reservoir
Inventor: HEPTONSTALL WILLIAM BARRIE
IPC: F03B13/06
Filed: 2012-08-28
Abstract: A hydroelectric pumped storage system includes an upper reservoir 1 and a lower reservoir 2 in fluid communication, via a conduit 4. The lower reservoir 2 is in fluid communication with a tidal body of water 18. A turbine 8 is located below the high tide level in the lower reservoir 2 and is driven by water flowing in the conduit 4 from the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir. The lower reservoir is separated from the tidal water e.g. by a dam 14 to maintain the water level above the tide level when the tide goes out. The system uses the turbine 8 to pump water to the upper reservoir 1 when the water in the lower reservoir 2 is held above the low tide level by the damming means 14. The energy required is therefore reduced as water is always pumped from around high tide level.

Title: Route Monitoring
Inventor: HEWITT JAMES
IPC: G01C21/34
Filed: 2013-12-10
Abstract: Monitoring the location of a set of devices comprises the steps of providing route information to each device, detecting the location of each device, detecting that a first device has deviated from the predefined route information, and informing each other device in the set of devices that the first device has deviated from the predefined route information. This can aid in keeping a group of people travelling together informed of the location and status of each other member of the group, e.g. if one persons vehicle has broken down, stopped, taken a wrong turn or become stuck in traffic. The users may be heading for the same rendez vous point or may be travelling in a convoy. A user may be prompted to confirm the intention of or reason for the occurring deviation which may then be used as the basis for generating a message to the other users.
