Title: Termination network for ac motor
Inventor: CARTER ROBERT
IPC: H02J3/01
Filed: 2007-09-21
Abstract: Industrial induction motors are often used with inverters with long cables linking them together. This can lead to peak voltages of nearly double the power signal appearing at the motor terminals. A termination network 1 is provided for connection to the supply to an AC motor 2 which includes a bridge rectifier 6-11 having AC inputs 3, 4, 5 connected to the motor supply and a DC output connected to a low impedance source at a similar voltage to the nominal motor operating voltage. By providing such a termination network, when an edge appears at the motor terminals 3, 4, 5, the energy in the cable is transferred into the low impedance source rather than appearing as an overshoot. The low impedance source includes a resistor 12 and a series pair of capacitors 13, 14 having a midpoint connected to ground.

Title: Japanese knotweed control method
Inventor: DOWNER HOWARD EDWARD
IPC: A01N43/40
Filed: 2006-03-14
Abstract: A method for controlling fallopia japonica, or Japanese Knotweed, involves the preliminary steps of identifying a target Japanese Knotweed, Giant Knotweed or hybrid plant (1) and characterising its growth phase (2) as either "growing" or "dormant". The environmental situation of the target plant is then assessed (13) and characterised as either "near trees" "near watercourse" or "clear". A herbicidal formulation appropriate to the characterised growth phase and environmental situation is then selected (17,18,19). Treatment of the target plant then involves both applying the herbicidal formulation to the plant (20,22) and stimulating the growth of the plant (21) so as to promote translocation of the applied herbicidal formulation throughout the target plant's rhizome system.

Title: Metering plastics material in method of injection impact compression moulding
Inventor: HOPPING PHILIP
IPC: B29C31/06
Filed: 2008-02-29
Abstract: An improvement is disclosed to the method of injection impact compression moulding articles in which plastics material is injected to partially fill each mould cavity of a multi-cavity mould and the cavity volume is then minimised rapidly to force the plastics material to flow into thin walled sections of the cavity, defined between a mould core 62 and wall of a stationary cavity assembly 52. Instead of metering the plastics material separately to each cavity, a predetermined quantity of plastics material is injected into the cavities by an injection screw or into a single shooting pot (runner) connected to all the mould cavities, the quantity of plastics material injected being set to be equal to or in excess of the quantity required to fill the mould cavities when reduced to their minimum volumes. To equalise the doses received by the individual cavities, the feed gates 55 of the cavities are maintained open during a first part of the impact compression stroke. This allows plastics material to flow between the individual cavities through the hot runner system and thereby equalise the back pressure in all the cavities.
Patent GB-2448240-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for use in whitening teeth
Inventor: CHAN WYMAN
IPC: A61C3/00
Filed: 2008-04-07
Abstract: An apparatus 1 for whitening teeth comprises a source of radiation 5, a body portion 51 and retraction means 4 for separating portions of the wearer's lips. In use, the source directs radiation onto the surface of the teeth through an opening partially defined by the retraction means. The body portion covers the entire opening and is securable relative to the retraction means to allow the wearer whose teeth are being whitened to move freely during the treatment. To effect the whitening process the teeth are pretreated with a whitening solution or gel comprising an active oxidising agent. The gel is warmed by a radiant heat produced by a series of light emitting diodes mounted in the body portion.

Title: Vertical mount mass flow sensor
Inventor: DING JUNHUA
IPC: G01F1/684
Filed: 2006-11-03
Abstract: A thermal mass flow meter for measuring flow rate of a fluid includes a conduit that is configured to receive the fluid and that defines a primary flow path between an inlet and an outlet of the conduit. The conduit is bound at least in part by a sensor receiving surface. A thermal sensor tube has a thermal sensing portion that is mounted relative to the sensor receiving surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to both the primary flow path and the sensor receiving surface. When the thermal mass flow meter is mounted in a vertical direction so that fluid within the conduit flows in the vertical direction along the primary flow path, fluid within the sensor tube flows in a horizontal direction so as to substantially prevent thermal siphoning when the sensor tube is heated.

Title: Wave powered pump with pressure assisted return stroke
Inventor: TILLOTSON ROBERT
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2008-07-11
Abstract: A wave operated pump comprises a cylinder 1 and piston 2 which pump fluid as an attached float 14 rises. A portion of the pressurised fluid is then used to assist the return stroke of the piston e.g. due to area difference across piston 2. This arrangement ensures that piston can be reset and the system is kept in tension. The fluid outlet connection (33, figure 3) and structural connection to the seabed may be combined so that the pump and its fluid couplings may be simultaneously connected or disconnected (figure 3).

Title: Venue access security system and/or method for securing the access of a venue
Inventor: HAMMOND ROBERT LEE
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2008-11-21
Abstract: A venue access security system includes a database for storing signals representative of identities of individuals; a database for storing signals representative of venues; an interface to allow individuals to purchase (e.g, via the internet) a ticket for access to a venue. The tickets are stored in a database. A venue access security interface obtains signals representative of said individual from the individual (e.g. by measuring biometrics) or from an article carried by the individual (e.g. magnetic swipe card, smart card, barcode, proximity tag). The obtained signals are compared with signals stored in said database to allow access to said venue. A card with a photograph of a user and an individual identity number may be obtained from a system operator in response to receiving customer details (eg via the internet or by mail). Once obtained the customer may order the tickets online.

Title: Offset matrix adapter for toy construction sets
Inventor: GLICKMAN JOEL I
IPC: A63H33/06
Filed: 2007-10-09
Abstract: An offset matrix adapter for integrating existing components of K'NEX construction toys with existing components of Lego-style brick systems, notwithstanding that the spacing matrices of the systems are incompatible. Adapter bricks or bases are provided, having adapter sockets with the same spacing matrix as the studs of the Lego-style bricks. Special K'NEX offset matrix adapters are provided, consisting of a pair of spaced-apart mounting stems for reception in a pair of spaced- apart adapter sockets. An offset rod is rigidly supported at the tops of the mounting stems but is offset laterally from the axes of the mounting stems by a distance which is preferably about one-third of the spacing between adapter sockets. By orienting a pair of matrix adapters with the rods offset alternatively inward or outward, the spacing differences between K'NEX and Lego-style systems can be reduced to insignificance allowing the two systems to be easily integrated.
