Title: Safety mounting
Inventor: ROBINSON BERNARD
IPC: A47H1/10
Filed: 2012-08-07
Abstract: A safety mounting comprises a base 12 adapted for connection to a mechanical earth; a pair of retaining jaws 20 mounted to the base which are biased in a lateral direction; a breakaway member 30 having a pair of angled cam surfaces 36A, B, which can also include a further pair of insertion cam surfaces 32A, B.

Title: Design and apparatus of a magnetic resonance multiphase flow meter
Inventor: ONG JOO TIM
IPC: F17D5/02
Filed: 2012-05-31
Abstract: An apparatus and method for estimating a parameter of a fluid flowing in a tubular is disclosed. A source of a primary magnetic field is coupled to the tubular and is configured to induce the primary magnetic field in the fluid to align nuclei of the fluid in the tubular along the primary magnetic field. A transmitter transmits an excitation signal into the fluid. A receiver detects a signal from the aligned nuclei responsive to the excitation signal. A processor estimates the parameter of the fluid from the detected signal. The source of the primary magnetic field is removable from the tubular. A coil may induce a secondary magnetic field to either enhance the strength of the primary magnetic field in the tubular or substantially cancel the primary magnetic field in the tubular, for example, to reduce particle build-up in the tubular.

Inventor: TOLCHER RICHARD JOHN
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2013-11-27
Abstract: A method comprises controlling functions on a server via a text messaging (e.g. SMS) system, where a network controller identifies messages referring to a registered identity (e.g. a short-code or phone number) and communicates at least part of the message to a remote server; with an instruction derived from the message being invoked to cause the server to enact a function. The invoking of the function may be triggered by the message having a self-addressed routing option. The instruction may be contained within the body portion of the text message, and if a registered identity is not present or if registration is not sought/has not occurred, the message may be routed to another address. The registered-identity assessment may be done with reference to a remotely positioned look-up table. An administrator server may be positioned between the network controller and the server. The completeness of the message may be assessed, and a dialogue may seek further details from the user.
