Title: Adjustable post driver
Inventor: BRYCE JOHN MOWATT
IPC: E04H17/26
Filed: 2006-02-22
Abstract: A post driver includes a frame and a mast connected to the frame in such a way the position of the mast can be altered. The mast, which may be telescopic and carries a hammer 116, may be shifted backwards or sideways and may also be tiltable (fig 1), thereby enabling it to be adjusted for proper alignment with a post 125. This is achieved by a number of hydraulic cylinder assemblies 122, 124. The frame may rest on a number of hydraulic legs (102, fig 1) which include skids (108, fig 1). The hydraulic controls for the driver may be protected with a cage (fig 16) and the driver can include portions (118, fig 1) for receiving pallet forks, facilitating transport of the driver.

Title: Intranasal protein administration
Inventor: HAFNER RODERICK PETER
IPC: A61M13/00
Filed: 2006-06-08
Abstract: Intranasal administration of proteins, such as insulin and insulin analogues, in particular immunogenic proteins, to the upper posterior region of a nasal cavity of a subject is achieved using a delivery device comprising a housing 15, a nosepiece 20 with nozzle 25, and a mouthpiece 19 through which the subject exhales to actuate the delivery device. Upon actuation, an administered protein formulation is delivered to the olfactory bulb region (OB, figure 1) where it is taken up into the central nervous system. In this manner, delivery of the protein formulation to the nasal associated lymphatic tissue is avoided in order to prevent a neutralising antibody response.

Title: Transmitting packets across a network by compressing and encapsulating them
Inventor: ANCHI SHLOMI
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2006-08-29
Abstract: A packet of data comprises a header and a payload. Payload compression is performed on both the payload and the header, following which the compressed header and payload are encapsulated to create a transmission data packet and the transmission packet is transmitted across the network. The method may be used to compress a Mobile IP (MIP) packet (figure 1) or a Mobile Virtual Private Network (MVPN) packet (figure 6). In the case of the MIP packet, the header compression is performed on the VPN header 150 and the payload compression is performed on the VPN payload, comprising the IP header 130, TCP header 120 and user data 110, to produce a payload compression (PC) header 210 and payload compressed data 220. The header compression creates a header compressed (HC) header 230 and header compressed data 240 containing the VPN header. The dual compressed VPN data packet is then encapsulated within an MIP header 250. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the compression occurring in the case of an MVPN packet.

Title: Obtaining a motion vector for a partition of a macroblock in block-based motion estimation
Inventor: HUGGETT ANTHONY RICHARD
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2006-11-10
Abstract: A method of obtaining a motion vector for a partition of a macroblock in block-based motion estimation by dividing macroblocks into partitions and determining a partition motion vector for each partition. A best vector is selected for each partition from a set of candidate motion vectors comprising the vector from the macroblock and the vectors from neighbouring macroblocks. A score is calculated for the partition for each candidate motion vector and the vector having the best score is selected as the as the motion vector for the partition. The partitions may be partitioned into sub-partitions to select the best vectors for the sub-partitions. The process may be repeated until the sub-partitions are pixels to obtain the best vectors for each pixel. The score may be a sum of absolute differences.

Title: Label processing method for packetised optical signals using a plurality of probe signals and an optical AND gate
Inventor: CALABRETTA NICOLA
IPC: H04B10/299
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: An optical processing arrangement has a "compact all-optical function" which receives as inputs a DPSK packet with N label bits, and a plurality of probe signals in the form of N Continuous Wave (CW) lightwaves. The time interval between adjacent probe signals is equal to the time interval between label bits. The "compact all-optical function" produces two synchronous outputs: a DPSK demodulated data packet (referenced 'A') and a sequence of N coloured pulses (referenced 'B') synchronous to the demodulated label bits. These outputs are fed as inputs into an optical logic AND gate to transfer the label pattern to the coloured pulses. Thus the invention provides an all-optical label extraction method using time-to-wavelength conversion / series-to-parallel conversion.

Title: Inline skate including gear wheel and pawl assembly for selective one way rolling
Inventor: YEN-NIEN CHANG
IPC: A63C17/26
Filed: 2007-07-25
Abstract: An inline skate comprises a boot (10, fig. 1), base 21 secured to the bottom of the boot, and wheels (30, fig. 1) attached to the base. Wheel 31 includes a ratcheted disc or gear wheel 41 which selectively engages pawl 424, the gear wheel being moveable with respect to the pawl under the guidance of resilient connectors 513 in order to bring the gear wheel and pawl into and out of engagement. Wheel 31 is able to roll in both directions when the resilient connectors are uncompressed and pawl and gear wheel are disengaged (fig. 4). When base 21 is pressed downwardly, compression of resilient connectors 513 brings gear wheel 41 and pawl 424 into engagement which allows wheel 31 to roll in one direction, but not in the other direction (fig. 5). A gear wheel and pawl assembly may be arranged on the front wheel as a brake against rearward rolling, and/or may be arranged on the rear wheel as a brake during forward rolling (fig. 6). A gear wheel and pawl assembly arranged on the front wheel acts as a push off device by locking the front wheel against rearward rolling as it is pushed backwards against the ground. Pressing downwardly on the boot base may bring the gear wheel and pawl into engagement vertically. Alternatively (see fig. 8), pressing downwardly on the boot base causes the gear wheel and pawl to engage through horizontal movement.

Title: Gel sheet for protecting skin
Inventor: OURA TAKEHIKO
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 2006-05-02
Abstract: It is intended to provide a very inexpensive and heavy-duty gel sheet for protecting the skin to be used for the prevention of bedsore caused by skin therapy and congestion or the like not by applying it to a wounded region or cut but by applying it to a region of bedsore, keloid, hypertrophic scar or the like caused by congestion or the like. It was expected that even though its composition was not silicone, if it was a substance having properties similar to those of silicone, i.e. a moisturizing property, pressure exerted by adhesion and the like, a gel sheet for protecting the skin which is less expensive and more heavy-duty than a conventional silicone gel sheet could be produced. As a result of intensive studies, a gel sheet for protecting the skin which is less expensive and more heavy-duty than a conventional silicone gel sheet was successfully produced. Here, the gel sheet for protecting the skin is produced by copolymerizing polyethylene and polystyrene.

Title: Artificial muscles
Inventor: MAJOE DENNIS
IPC: F15B15/10
Filed: 2007-12-14
Abstract: An artificial muscle comprises a chamber 12 having a flexible wall of plastics material, a device for heating and/or cooling a low-boiling-point fluid e.g. hydrofluoroether contained in, or in communication with, the chamber some of the fluid changes state between liquid and gas s to change the volume of the chamber. A tendon 38, 30 at least partly wraps around the chamber over an extent that varies with variations in the chamber volume for transmitting force between the flexible wall and a load. The flexible wall has expansion fold seams, avoids the need for sliding pans, provides reduced friction and ease of sealing. Low-boiling-point fluid enables low production cost plastics materials to be used and enables large pressure changes with relatively small changes in temperature and reduces the risk of personal injury. The tendon arrangement provides less of a restriction on the operating range of the muscle than a McKibben-type arrangement.
