Title: Portable stove base that can also insulate a receptacle bottom
Inventor: JENKINS THOMAS BARRY
IPC: F24C3/14
Filed: 2010-12-08
Abstract: A portable stove 1 has a ground-engaging base 17 of thermally insulating material that can either engage the bottom of a gas canister 12, or can engage with the bottom of a receptacle (2, fig 6) when the contents have been heated to minimise the loss of heat through a bottom wall 23 of the receptacle 2.

The gas canister 12 is connected by a gas supply conduit 5 to a gas burner 3 which is surrounded by a bowl shaped windshield 7. The windshield positively engages and supports the lower part of a receptacle 2, thus forming a chamber in which the burner 3 is located to minimise the loss of heat. An alternative form of windshield (figs 5-7) and a thermometer can be provided; the stove may also burn liquid or solid fuel; and the parts can nest together when packed.

Title: Detecting locations of poor network coverage in a mobile communications network
Inventor: CHIOU TA-GANG
IPC: H04W4/24
Filed: 2011-02-15
Abstract: Holes in network coverage ("roaming locations") are detected by identifying where a mobile subscriber drops a call and initiates a new call (roams) in a foreign network. The call detail records relating to foreign network calls (roaming CDRs) are collected and the cell of the calls correlated with a registered address (e.g. home address) of the mobile subscriber. The registered address is then likely to be an area of weak network coverage if there are a number of such correlations. Spatial clusters of registered addresses corresponding to roaming CDRs can be used to identify network holes. A roaming call made within a time interval of a first call can also be used to identify holes in network coverage.

IPC: F24S10/75
Filed: 2011-09-09
Abstract: A solar collector comprises a heat pipe tube 3 having a radiation absorbing plate 12 for absorbing solar radiation and an elongate tube 13 for containing a heat transfer medium. The elongate tube has an evaporator section in thermal contact with the radiation absorbing plate and a condenser section (16, fig.1) remote from the radiation absorbing plate. The radiation absorbing plate and the evaporator section are enclosed within an evacuated transparent enclosure 10, where the condenser section is located outside the transparent enclosure. The solar collector further comprises an end fitting 17 for connecting with a corresponding end fitting of an adjacent heat pipe tube to permit passage of fluid between the end fittings without requiring a separate manifold. The end fitting comprises a thermal pocket 25 receiving the condenser section of the heat pipe, the thermal pocket being sealed against fluid ingress. The end fitting may be provided with a circumferential groove or recess for receiving an O-ring seal (22, fig.12). In use, the pocket is sealed against ingress of fluid flowing through the end fitting such that a solar collector heat pipe tube can be removed and replaced in an array without affecting the operation of other tubes.
Patent GB-2497570-A (GB)
Title: Image sensor readout using plural memory locations
Inventor: GOLDING ROBERT
IPC: H04N5/353
Filed: 2011-12-15
Abstract: A pixel readout circuit comprises at least first, second and third memory locations, e.g. separate SRAMs 330a-c. During a pixel integration period, the readout circuit repeatedly samples the pixel output level, stores the first sample in the first memory location, and stores each subsequent sample in memory locations other than the first memory location. Each sample is stored with a time (e.g., a count, such as a Gray Code Count, GCC) corresponding to when that sample was taken, and at any one time subsequent to the first three samples having been stored, at least the first sample and the two most recent samples are stored. Also disclosed is a corresponding method of reading out of a pixel output over an undefined integration period. Each sample subsequent to the first sample may be alternately stored in the second and third (further) memory store locations. Sampling may cease at a predetermined pixel output level threshold, e.g. relative to pixel saturation. After sampling has stopped, further correlated sampling can be performed, using contents of the first and penultimate sample memory locations. The device may be a fluorescence biosensor for biological macromolecules (e.g., enzymes, antibodies, DNA, whole cells, etc).

Title: Variable pitch rotor of underwater turbine
Inventor: TODMAN MICHAEL TORR
IPC: F03B3/14
Filed: 2012-06-26
Abstract: A tidal turbine 1 includes a fail safe mechanism for pitch adjustment of the turbine blades. A pitch change rod 7 is rotated with the turbine shaft 2. A nut 8 threaded on a pitch change rod 7, is rotated by a motor 13 at the same speed as the rotor. By varying the speed of the motor 13, there is relative rotation between the nut 8 and rod 7, causing axial movement of the rod and increasing or decreasing the blade pitch. If rotation of the nut 8 ceases, for example due to failure of a control system, continued relative rotation of the pitch change rod moves the turbine blades to a feathered condition. Nut 8 may be coupled to shaft 2 by a clutch (17, figure 5) so that the motor 13 does not need to be driven continuously.

Title: Method and system for sequence correlation
Inventor: INGLIS STUART JOHN
IPC: G16B30/10
Filed: 2011-05-20
Abstract: A method and system for evaluating the correlation between sequences by entering segments of one sequence in a database and comparing segments of the other sequence with index values to find correlated segments. The correlated segments are analysed to determine whether the spacing is within a defined range indicating that a correlation threshold has been met. A processing methodology may be employed whereby a coarse potential alignment algorithm is first applied to determine potential alignment at a plurality of potential alignment positions, which are filtered based on alignment scores, and a fine alignment algorithm is then applied. Systems for performing the method include parallel processing architectures that may employ graphics processors as the parallel processors. This architecture enables correlation within a range to be inherently determined at each processing iteration as the parallel processors act as an N bit window. The method may be employed with a range of sequencers.
