Title: Gravity survey data processing
Inventor: LUMLEY JOHN MORRIS
IPC: G01V7/06
Filed: 2005-07-27
Abstract: A method of measuring potential field data as part of a potential field survey comprises flying an aircraft along a set of paths and measuring potential field data at points on the paths. From these data, field mapping parameters may be determined. The set of paths has one or more of the following features: two paths crossing at heights differing by at least 50 metres; in a region of the survey, paths in the same general direction are non-parallel by greater than 5 degrees; the paths including curved paths; the paths do not substantially lie in a surface; the paths define a surface, at least one path defining one of two orthogonal directions in the surface such that the surface has a rate of change of height with distance in the other orthogonal direction of greater than 5 percent. This rate of change may exceed a permitted climb/descent rate of the aircraft. The survey does not therefore follow a standard grid pattern, and is better suited to deal with varying topography as a result.

Title: Heated air circulating device for a radiator
Inventor: HAYDON DAVID JAMES
IPC: F24D19/06
Filed: 2010-04-27
Abstract: A heated air circulating device 10 comprises a housing 12 defining an internal chamber provided with an inlet, through which air heated by the radiator enters the chamber, and an outlet, through which air is expelled from the chamber. The inlet includes a continuous slot 32 which extends along the full length of the housing. The device is preferably positioned above and at least partially behind a wall mounted radiator (40, fig.2) such that the slot locates above the area between the radiator and the wall (42, fig.2). In use, as the radiator heats up, warm air generated behind the radiator rises and passes through the slot and into the chamber, where since the slot extends for the full length of the housing the rising warm air is not restricted from entering through the slot. The device may include a fan 14 located towards one end which draws air along the chamber and expels the air out to the side. Preferably, the slot includes guide means which increases the pressure of the warm air as it passes through the slot and the pressure then falls once the air enters the chamber. In further aspects, the device comprises thermal sensor means.

Title: Filter assembly for a pond or aquarium
Inventor: ABDULLA YOOSAF
IPC: A01K63/04
Filed: 2010-08-16
Abstract: A container that may be used as a pond filter 1. A housing 2 is at least partially filled with filter material 32. An external pump 8 is connected to an inlet 4 of the housing and supplies unfiltered liquid from a liquid source, e.g. a pond P, to the housing at a first flow rate. Siphon means 10 is adapted to remove filtered liquid from the housing at a second flow rate, greater than the first flow rate, when a siphon effect is established. The filter alternates between a filling process where the level of liquid within the housing rises and a siphoning process where filtered liquid is removed from the housing by the siphon means and the level of liquid within the housing falls. As the unfiltered water in an upper region 28 of the housing passes through the filter material any particulates and pollutants are removed and the water is oxygenated. The filter material 32 is also gradually exposed to the air as the water level falls during the siphoning process. Any bacteria in the biological filter material are therefore flushed and aerated as the housing is alternately filled and drained so creating improved conditions for the decomposition of the removed pollutants. The filtered water that is returned back to the pond from an outlet 20 of the siphon means is clean and oxygen-rich.

Title: Cyclonic dust collector
Inventor: TANAKA TSUYOSHI
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2010-11-08
Abstract: A cyclone type dust collector apparatus includes, a cylindrical filter 21 concentrically disposed in a cylindrical dust box (8, fig 2), a cylindrical dust accumulating space 52 disposed below the filter 21, an extending portion 22 formed to extend in an umbrella shape from a bottom portion of the filter 21 toward the dust accumulating space 52, a cyclone space 31 formed between an inner circumferential surface of the dust box and an outer circumferential surface of the filter 21, and a dust collector path 32 formed between an outer circumferential surface of the extending portion 22 and the inner circumferential surface of the dust box. A radial width L1 of the cyclone space is greater than that of the dust collector path L2. The dust accumulating space 52 has a diameter greater than an outer diameter of the cyclone space 31. This structure produces a force that pushes the dust from the cyclone space 31 toward the dust accumulating space 52, preventing return of the dust accumulated in the dust accumulating space 52 back to the cyclone space 31, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.

Title: Resolving clashes of identifying code between neighbouring base stations
Inventor: MAIDA AMINU WADA
IPC: H04W8/26
Filed: 2009-08-11
Abstract: A basestation forms part of a group of basestations within a cellular communications network, and selects an identifying code for use in identifying transmissions from the basestation. The basestation receives from a management node a first list of identifying codes and a second list of identifying codes, wherein the identifying codes of the first list can appear in neighbour cell lists of basestations outside said group, and wherein the identifying codes of the second list cannot appear in neighbour cell lists of basestations outside said group. The basestation determines whether there is at least one identifying code either in the first list of identifying codes or the second list of identifying codes that is not used by any other basestation in said group. If there is at least one identifying code in the first list of identifying codes and at least one identifying code in the second list of identifying codes that are not used by any other basestation in said group, an identifying code from the first list of identifying codes is selected in preference to an identifying code from the second list of identifying codes. Therefore, if a clash occurs with a neighbouring base station using the same identifying code, it is determined if the clash can be resolved by the first base station or by another base station.

Title: Access to user data protected by status of applications access rights on central protection server separately from user authentication status
Inventor: GRAY LES
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2012-03-07
Abstract: Data is associated with a user and is accessible to a plurality of applications operating on one or more devices. Each protected application (PA), using different respective authentication mechanisms, authenticates a user for access to the data. Each application is provided with access to a central protection server, e.g. Asset Register AR. For each application, the server maintains a respective status reflecting whether or not the application is allowed continued access to the data, e.g. whether or not its Globally Unique Instance Identifier (GUIID) is locked. This status is separate from any authentication status associated with the authentication mechanisms. At predetermined times, e.g. during authentication, start-up or wake-up from sleep, the server is polled or queried to determine whether or not to allow an application continued access to the data, e.g. by sending a Lock Enquiry Message, LEM. If the determination is negative then the application is prevented from accessing the data. Also disclosed is a method of registering an application with the server, associating the application with a user record and maintaining the applications status, e.g. updating the status.
