Title: A flip-top dispensing closure with latch
Inventor: BULL MARTIN CAREY
IPC: B65D47/00
Filed: 2007-11-26
Abstract: Flip-top dispensing closures may be pushed onto associated containers during capping. A flip top dispensing closure 10 comprises a base 20 having an orifice 40, a lid 30, hinge means 50 and latch means 80, 90 for substantially preventing relative movement between the lid and base, other than rotational articulation about the hinge. If the dispensing closures have bases and lids including parting surfaces which lie substantially in planes non-orthogonally with respect to the closure axis there is a risk that relative movement between the base and lid may be affected by the application of a force pushing the lid towards the base and thus causing damage to the hinge. The present invention addresses this problem by providing latch means which prevent relative movement between the lid and base. The base and lid may have a parting surface on their respective circumferences which, with the closure in the closed position, lie adjacent one another and wherein each parting surface has at least portion of its surface in a plane which is non-orthogonal to the closure axis.

Title: Corrosion resistant alloy weldments in carbon steel structures and pipelines to accommodate high axial plastic strains
Inventor: BEESON DANNY L
IPC: B23K9/00
Filed: 2008-01-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for joining materials having primarily ferritic properties is described. The method includes joining the ferritic materials using a welding process and a weld material having a primarily austenitic microstructure. The resulting weldment enhances the properties of yield ratio, uniform elongation, toughness and tearing resistance thereby producing superior strain capacity. High strain capacity produces a structure that accommodates high axial loading. The weldment can also accommodate larger than conventional weld flaws while maintaining sufficient strength, tearing resistance, and fracture toughness under high axial loading.

Title: Authentication of mobile terminals
Inventor: RAKOCEVIC VESELIN
IPC: G06F21/44
Filed: 2009-10-22
Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a communications method that comprises the steps of: operating a mobile terminal to generate an authentication message that includes an identifier for said terminal; transmitting said authentication message from said mobile terminal to a remote processing centre that is configured to extract said unique identifier from said authentication message and to determine from said extracted identifier whether said mobile terminal is an authorised user; and operating the remote processing centre, if said mobile terminal is determined to be authorised, to generate a token and a message incorporating that token. The identifier for said terminal may be configured to shield said mobile terminal's true identity (i.e. provide anonymous authentication) and the identifier may comprise a random number. The authentication message may include a revocation parameter that can be utilised to reveal the true identity of the mobile terminal. A random challenge received by the mobile terminal may be utilised to generate the revocation parameter. The revocation parameter may comprise a signed message containing the IMSI of the mobile terminal and the random challenge received from the remote processing centre. A temporary user ID may be generated by the remote processing centre upon successful authentication, which may also generate a revocation attribute. The method described may be used in authenticating terminals for online transactions and may involve a single-sign-on type arrangement.

Title: Measuring the time taken to process a unit of data
Inventor: DIESI VINCENZO
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A processor outputs a count signal with the same frequency as its clock. It also outputs an identifier of the unit of data which it is processing. The count signal is input into a counter in a performance monitor. The identifier is sampled at a frequency, which is lower than the frequency of the count signal. The value of the counter and the identifier are output when the identifier changes. The identifier and the counter value may also be output when the counter rolls over. The rate at which the identifier is sampled may be limited by the bandwidth of the memory, to which the identifier and the counter value are output. The counter value may be checked to ensure it has a valid value. The processor may be a tile based deferred rendering graphics processor and the identifier may identify the tile identity or the batch identity.

Abstract: 855,118. Valves. CRANE Ltd. (Crane Co.). March 27, 1957, No. 10014/57. Class 135. A conduit gate valve comprises a valve body 1 having a chamber divided into upper and lower compartments 4 and 5 by transverse flow passages 6 and 7 and an apertured closure member 31 reciprocally movable between removable seating rings 41, 42 spring urged towards the closure member by means of spring- loaded guide plates 56, 57, movable with the sealing rings by engagement of adjacent shoulders, the sealing rings having outwardly chamfered surfaces 61 such that in the event of excessive pressure arising within the valve chamber the fluid pressure will act upon the chamfered surfaces to displace the seating rings axially away from the closure member to relieve the pressure into the transverse passages. Each seating ring is sealed with respect to the body by " 0 " rings 49 housed in annular recesses 47, 48. The outer ends of the seating rings are exposed to fluid pressure within the transverse passages to increase the seating loading of the rings. The lower end of the actuating stem 24 is provided with a tee-head connection 28 which is received within a similar shaped recess in the closure member to permit slight transverse movement of the closure member. The stem 24 is also provided with two shoulders 63 and 65 which limit the upward and downward movement of the closure member.
