Title: Applying suspension hook to packaging member
Inventor: EDWARDS WILLIAM JAMES
IPC: B65B61/14
Filed: 1994-05-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus form suspension packages for merchandise wherein a blank 4 of sheet material is folded double about a predefined fold line to engage both faces of a planar foot portion of a suspension hook 7, and a hook portion of the suspension hook extends out of the folded blank through an opening situated on or adjacent the fold line. Unfolded card blanks 4 are fed sequentially along a blank feed path extending in a first direction to an insertion station 6, and suspension hooks 7 are fed sequentially to the insertion station along a hook feed path extending in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, each respective suspension hook being engageable with a blank by contacting the blank at one or more points along the fold line of the blank. After the hook contacts the blank, the hook and blank are drawn through a creasing station 12 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, the creasing station including creasing means to fold the blank along its fold line. <IMAGE>

Title: Downhole video camera and video recorder assembly
Inventor: BOYLE COLIN SCOTT
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 1994-09-20
Abstract: A downhole camera assembly lowered into a well bore by means of surface mounted cable and winch provides a method of visually recording the sidewalls of a well bore. Mounted within a pressure resistant steel walled tubular housing the assembly includes a wide angle video camera 9, a power/transmission section 13, a video recorder 11 and tape mechanism and a lighting section 10. An optically clear, pressure resistant glass viewport allows the well bore to be illuminated and the visual image 1 recorded. Thermal transmission from well bore fluid to camera mechanism is minimised by evacuating the camera housing and shrouding components in reflective foil. On retrieval to surface, playing the recorded video tape allows visual inspection of the well bore. An electrical timing device 14 allows the switching on of the apparatus to be predetermined. The operator uses this time to establish the pressure vacuum within the camera assembly and run it to the desired depth prior to filming. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of operating a communication system
Inventor: SCOP SHLOMO
IPC: H04L12/413
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: A communications system is described having a number of communicating units arranged for communication over a common communications channel. A first communicating unit transmits a data transmission 104 followed by an end-of-data indication 102 and a predetermined period of further transmission activity 101 to a second communicating unit, During the period of further transmission activity 101 of the first unit, the second unit seizes the channel 103 and transmits a preamble 105 prior to its response data. This process ensures that periods of further transmission activity 101 and the preamble 105 keep the channel open for the duration of the communication, for sole use by the communicating units. The invention is applicable to, but not limited to use in supervisory control and acquisition-of-data (SCADA) systems.

Title: Piezoelectric device for generating a high voltage
Inventor: HASHIMOTO TAKEHIRO
IPC: H01L41/113
Filed: 1996-02-16
Abstract: A piezoelectric high voltage generating device has a high voltage lead line 12 and a fixed container comprising a fixed part 1 and a movable part 2. A connecting portion between the lead line 12 and a terminal plate 10 is fixed by filling with an adhesive agent 21.

Patent GB-2298195-A (GB)
Title: Methods and apparatus for using micro-organisms to treat organic material found in waste water
Inventor: LEES MICHAEL IAN
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 1994-11-21
Abstract: Organic material in waste water is treated by aerobic digestion by bacteria in a reaction vessel. A proportion of the bacteria in the reaction vessel are deactivated to modify the concentration of active bacteria. This deactivation is accomplished by providing a region of high mechanical shear stress in the liquid so that flocs of bacteria are broken up. Resulting loose bacterial cells and small doc particles encourage an increase in the population of higher life forms, protozoa and rotifers, which predate on these lone cells and small particles. By controlling the level of predation by higher life forms, the effective death rate of bacteria is increased so that the overall biomass in the reaction zone can be maintained constant even though sufficient organic material is supplied in the waste water for the bacterial population to respire as in a growth phase. The resulting high respiration rate minimises the overall production of sludge without excessive residence times in the reaction zone.

Title: Adjustable length shelf
Inventor: CRISP DAVID JOHN
IPC: A47B45/00
Filed: 1996-06-21
Abstract: A shelf comprises two shelf parts (1 and 1') which are slidingly engagable lengthwise with each other. When the two shelf parts are so engaged they are co-planar and overlap to form a variable overlapping region. The respective ends of the two shelf parts which are remote from the overlapping region are adapted to engage with upright shelf support members , preferably by fingers (7, 8) which protrude lengthwise from the ends of the two shelf parts and each finger (7', 8') engages with a slot in an upright support member. Each finger preferably terminates in an underhang which prevents the finger from sliding out of the slot of the upright shelf support member. The shelf preferably has a locking means which is adapted to prevent the two engaged shelf parts 1 and 1') from sliding further together.

Patent GB-2304337-A (GB)
Title: Container neck with multiple start thread, and cap closure
Inventor: MOLINARO LUCA
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1994-03-23
Abstract: A container 10 has a neck portion with a multiple start thread formation 14-16, the arrangement being such that there are at least four complete turns of thread at any one point. In the example there are seven separate spiral threads producing four complete turns at any one point on the neck. Also provided is a portion of larger dia. than the portion bearing the threads, this larger portion having ratchet formations 12 around its periphery. These ratchet formations cooperate with similar formations on the inside surface of a tear off tamper band 25 of a cap closure 21 attached to the neck. The cap has a plurality of spiral thread formation on the inner surface of its skirt 22 and the cap is flexible such that it can be pushed axially onto the neck, the threads riding over one another and the tamper band ratchet formations engaging one another axially. The cap can be rotated to tighten it, whereupon the ratchets ride over one another but on opening the ratchets engage immovably and the tamper band is broken away. Thereafter the cap can be screwed on in the normal way, this being made easier by the multiple start arrangement. Thus the cap is push-on screw-off, but of course can be screwed on and off if needed.
Patent GB-2302449-A (GB)
Title: Ultrawideband antenna
Inventor: BROOKER CLIVE JOHN
IPC: H01Q13/20
Filed: 1995-05-18
Abstract: An ultrawideband transverse electromagnetic mode horn antenna for use at high voltages, comprises a pulse generator (1) and two transmission horns (12, 18) containing different dielectric media. The interface (30) between the dielectric media is configured so that a signal from the generator is incident on the interface at an angle substantially equal to the Brewster angle, thereby maintaining a good impedance match across the interface. A further advantage of the arrangement is that the TEM wavefront is preserved through the antenna section allowing operation at fast pulse risetime (less than 200ps) for short duration (several ns) at high voltage.
