Title: Hot air radiator comprising an air extracting machine
Inventor: ACCOUTANTS WHITESIDE
IPC: F24D5/08
Filed: 2006-11-10
Abstract: A radiator 5 comprises an appliance structure of pipes combined together to define an inner cavity which allows a continuous flow of air. An air extracting machine 7 is attached to the pipes to draw air out from the pipes. An opening in the pipes allows a stream of air to flow into the pipes. A heater 1 comprising heating elements is provided; the heater may be utilised to heat the air stream. The pipes accommodate an air flow between the extractor and the heater. Preferably, the radiator is constructed from metal pipes. The air extractor may comprise a fan which, when activated, acts to suck air out from the radiator at very high speed. Preferably, the heater is operated by gas supplied through a pipe 3. A metal sieve may be provided on top of the heating elements to prevent the fire from spreading into the radiator. Preferably, the heater has an opening 4 to allow fresh air in to the heater. In use, the air stream flows across the heating elements and into the radiator, and delivers the heat produced by the heater across the whole of the radiator, which may then be used to warm a room.

Title: Friction stir welding of joints with shims
Inventor: TALWAR RAJESH
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 2005-07-29
Abstract: A method of friction stir welding joints with shims (70) and an associated structural assembly (40) is provided. The structural assembly includes one or more skin members (20, 30) that are disposed and friction stir welded to a substructure (44). A shim (70) is disposed in a space defined by the other members of the assembly, e.g., between adjacent skin members or between a skin member and the substructure. The shim can be friction stir welded to the other members. That is, the adjacent skin members can be connected via the shim, and/or the skin members can be connected to the substructure via the shim. In some cases, the skin members and the substructure are relatively stiff, and the shim substantially fills the space to reduce flexing of the members during the friction stir welding operation.

Title: Controlling write transactions between initiators and recipients via interconnect logic
Inventor: BRUCE ALISTAIR CRONE
IPC: G06F13/36
Filed: 2007-06-14
Abstract: An initiator 10 (e.g. a master) transmits a write transaction request (40a, fig. 4) comprising an address (48), indicating a destination for write data, to an interconnect block 20. The interconnect block routes the write transaction request to a recipient 30 (e.g. a slave) using the address. In response to receiving the write transaction request, the recipient determines its availability for receiving write data relating to the write request. If it is available, the recipient transmits an available request (60a) specific to said write request to the interconnect block, indicating that it is ready to process the write transaction. The interconnect block routes available request (60b) to the initiator and, in response to receiving the available request, the initiator transmits write data relating to said write transaction request to the interconnect block which routes it to the recipient. The write transaction request may include a transaction identifier (46) and an initiator identifier (65). The available transaction may include a recipient identifier (64).

Title: Selective engagement in peer to peer software distribution
Inventor: LOCKER HOWARD JEFFREY
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2008-03-26
Abstract: The user of a computer system provided with a network interface connection may initiate the systems engagement in peer to peer software distribution by selectively actuating an away button indicating an interval during which the user intends to leave the system idle. The away button may be provided as a hardware component, such as an electromechanical key on the system keyboard (15, fig 1; 25, fig 2; 35, fig 3; 45, fig 4) or as a display element (55, fig 5) on the display for activation using a pointing device or touch on a touch screen. Once the button has been actuated the system may selectively signal a master distribution server through the network interface connection registering the system as available for distribution of software requested by other systems made to the master distribution server. The computer system may be provided with data storage operatively coupled to the network interface to store software for distribution to other systems and the partition in which data for distribution is stored may be hidden from and inaccessible to the computer system user.

Title: Converting biowaste into useful commercial products
Inventor: ELLISTON ADAM
IPC: B02C19/00
Filed: 2008-06-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the volume of municipal waste and extracting materials therefrom. The method comprises separating biomass derived waste, reducing the biomass to a substantially liquid form which may include shredding and maceration of the waste, enzymatically reducing the biomass substances therein using an enzyme mix chosen to maximise output from the waste material and ideally fermenting the reduced mix to produce specific outputs from the waste material. A selected specific output material is extracted from the waste slurry for subsequent purification and processing, water and remaining solids are separated so that the water may be recycled or flushed and the solids may be composted, compressed for further use or put to landfill. Preferably use of corrosive chemicals is avoided during breakdown of waste. The specific enzyme and fermenting micro-organism are selected depending on the type of waste to be reduced and the desired output; for example possible enzymes may be cellulose, amylase, lignases, hemicellulases, proteases, kinases and nucleic-acid splitting and conjoining enzymes. Specific outputs may be selected from ethanol, butanol, acetone, long-chain hydrocarbon esters, peptides, glucose, xylose, mannose, agarose, and lignine derived substrates such as terpenes and complex oligosaccharides; in a particular embodiment ethanol is extracted for use as a biofuel. The apparatus may be adapted for use in vehicles such as submarines, aircraft and cruise ships, for use in restaurants or food processing plants for the disposal or conversion of food waste, and use in individual homes or apartment complexes for processing of household municipal waste.

Title: A powder injection apparatus with a shroud having a gas port opposing a powder port
Inventor: QUIGLEY MICHAEL BERNARD COUPLAND
IPC: B05B7/20
Filed: 2008-07-12
Abstract: This invention relates to thermal spraying processes and control of the injection of the powder particles into a plasma, flame, gas jet or shock front. The powder injection apparatus comprises spraying torch 12, a shroud 20 surrounding the spraying jet 13, the shroud having a powder injection port 14 and an opposing gas port 24, the gas issuing from the gas port serving to push powder particles that have passed through the spray jet back into the spray jet for further heating. Preferably, an inert gas, eg. Argon, is used as the gas so that it does not cause oxidation of the powder. Typically the heavier / larger particles (see figure 1, path 18) pass the jet and are blown back by the gas jet. A valve 22 and gas nozzle 24 may be provided to control the amount and direction of the opposing gas entering the shroud. The shroud / shield may be made from metals or ceramics.
