Title: A method of finding a physical location of a mobile telephone at a given time
Inventor: DANDO OWEN ROBERT
IPC: G01S5/02
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: A method of finding a physical location of a mobile telephone at a given time is disclosed. Data that are derived from, or are values of, mobile telephone control parameters associated with multiple mobile telephones on a network is stored in a subscriber database. Location data that associates different physical locations with data that are derived from, or are values of, mobile telephone control parameters is stored in a location parameters database. At least some of the location data has been derived from a traffic monitoring system enabling points on a road network to be associated with values of some or all of the mobile telephone control parameters. The data in the subscriber database is interpreted for the purpose of establishing the location of a mobile telephone at the given time by (i) using that data as a query that is run against the location parameters database in order to generate an answer that is the location of that mobile telephone and (ii) doing so only when there is an explicit request to establish the location of that one specific mobile telephone and not as part of a sequence of package of requests in relation to each of the multiple mobile telephones.
Patent NZ-566115-A (NZ)
Title: Methods for manufacturing unleaky closed containers and leak testing apparatus
Inventor: LEHMANN MARTIN
IPC: G01M3/36
Filed: 2005-09-09
Abstract: A sealed container 3 is leak tested by squeezing B the sides of the container, measuring the force applied to the seal 5 attached to the top rim of the container as a result of the increase of pressure in the container, and determining from the measured force whether the container is leaky or not leaky. The bowing of the top seal is limited by interference with the force detector 9a which is placed closer d to the seal than the seal can bow D if left unobstructed. This prevents a tight container from becoming leaky because the seal has been pushed away from the rim as a result of the leak test.

Title: Disposable injector with a central traction rod operable by an elastic release element
Inventor: MATUSCH RUDOLF
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2008-01-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a disposable injector which includes a housing in which is arranged a helical compression spring and a cylinder/piston unit including a piston and a cylinder having an interior for operatively receiving and being filled and containing at least temporarily an active substance. The injector includes a spring-loaded piston-actuating ram and a triggering unit in operative arrangement therewith. The spring-loaded piston-actuating ram has proximate a central region thereof a ram plate. The spring-loaded piston-actuating ram also has a non-transversely moveable tension bar above the ram plate. The helical compression spring includes a pre-loaded spring element. Part of the piston-actuating ram is operatively arranged between the triggering unit and the piston of the cylinder/piston unit. The helical compression spring is arranged coaxially with a substantial portion of the non-transversely moveable tension bar. The non-transversely moveable tension bar has a throat-like constriction with a supporting surface in the region of the upper end of the non-transversely moveable tension bar. The housing has an elevated intermediate base with monolithic portions thereof being flexurally elastic elements which operatively extend from the elevated intermediate base. The flexurally elastic elements have a locking position. A triggering element operatively secures the flexurally elastic elements in the locking position. The flexurally elastic elements each have an upper bearing surface operatively supporting and contacting the supporting surface of the non-transversely moveable tension bar in the locking position. The flexurally elastic elements have a release position. The operative movement of the triggering element releases the upper bearing surface of each of the flexurally elastic elements from contact with the supporting surface of the non-transversely moveable tension bar. The non-transversely moveable tension bar is released causing the piston to force the active substance from the interior of the cylinder. The helical compression spring is positioned in a pre-loaded state between the ram plate and the elevated base of the housing.
