The means to direct the scent flow may include, a fan 23, piston (4, Fig. 1), bellows or a piezo-electric crystal vibration or nebulisation process. The stimulator will generally comprise a fan 23, circuitry 25 which receives control signals in order to drive the fan and appropriate radio frequency circuitry 26 in order to receive these control signals. The housing defines a flow path through which air is sucked by through inlet apertures 30 and out of jets 31 towards a user's nose. The device may include a scent reservoir 32 comprising a cartridge module detachable from the housing. The stimulator is held about a user's neck using a lanyard cord 28 and incorporates a LED 27 to indicate its operational status. The device that sends out the RF signals could be a PC or any programmable device that can send a signal, including mobile phones. Bodily information, such as heart beat or body temperature, may be transmitted back to the device by the stimulator or from a secondary device. A self help regime may possibly include an audio message which prompts the user to activate the stimulator manually.

Title: Apparatus for sampling drill hole cuttings
Inventor: WILLIAMS SCOTT R
IPC: G01N1/08
Filed: 2003-03-28
Abstract: A sample collection system for collecting a drill cuttings sample (66) from a hole (63) being drilled during its drilling includes a stem collector (50) surrounding the drill pipe (60). Pressurized air injected into the hole (63) through the drill pipe (60) forms an air-entrained drill cuttings stream (65) which travels up the drill hole (65) during drilling and which is directed by the stem collector (50) into a conduit (93) which directs stream (65) to a sampling device (51). Sampling device (51) samples drill cuttings stream (65) and creates a stream of sample cuttings which is directed to a diffuser (52) which separates the cuttings sample (66) from the air stream. The cuttings sample (66) passes into a sample collection chute (134) from which it or portions thereof may be transferred into a sample container or bag. Stem collector (50) seals against the ground (66) surrounding the hole (63) being drilled to direct substantially all drill cuttings to sampling device (51), thus substantially eliminating loss of fines prior to sampling and thus helps form a substantially representative sample. The sampling system can be mounted under the drill deck (55) of a drilling rig.

Title: Deciding a transmission path for the terminal of a satellite communication system
Inventor: KIM BYOUNG-HAK
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 2006-12-11
Abstract: In the invention a selector determines whether transmissions from the terminal should be direct to a satellite, or indirectly via a "gap filler" relay, the decision being made by comparing the respective link qualities. As embodied, the terminal has a Ku/Ka band antenna and signals received from the satellite are converted to S-band 303. The converted signals are then monitored 307 for S/N level and compared 308 with the S/N level of S-band signals received from the gap filler. The comparison results controls an RF switch which selects the link with the greater S/N level.
