Patent GB-0314128-D0 (GB)
Title: Snoring amelioration device
IPC: A61F5/56
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: A snoring amelioration device (10) comprises a cork sheet (11), which is glued to a sheet of cardboard to avoid damage to the cork. In use, the cork sheet is placed between a user's pillow and the bed so that the user's head lies over the cork sheet. The cork sheet may be wrapped in a cushioning material, such as bubble wrap, for enhanced user comfort. The cork sheet is disposed inside a closed bag (14) which, in one embodiment, is formed from a water resistant material such as plastic to avoid the cork sheet from becoming wet and potentially losing its efficacy as a device for the amelioration of snoring. Alternatively, the bag may be formed from a material such as cotton, in which case the cork sheet may be treated with a vegetable dye (15) so that it will be evident to a user if the cork sheet has come into contact with liquid. Material which is thought to encourage a good night's sleep, such as a mixture of dried hops and lavender (13), may be placed inside the bag, either loose or in a sachet (12). <IMAGE>

Title: Power saving mobile communication device
IPC: G01C21/16
Filed: 2004-01-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for determining the location of a mobile communication device. The location is derived using a location deriving system.

Title: Sewer renovation
IPC: E03F3/06
Filed: 1986-06-23
Abstract: An existing underground sewer (10) or other pipe is renovated by rupturing and radially expanding the pipe (10) and installing a replacement pipeline (14) within the ruptured pipe (10).

Title: Briquetting machine
IPC: B30B3/04
Filed: 1988-11-29
Abstract: A briquetting machine, primarily intended for briquetting fibrous plant material, includes a pair of rotatable wheels 10, 11. Each wheel has die means 60, 61 towards its outer periphery and the die means define a circular row of pockets in which the material is received and compressed. During rotation of the wheels 10, 11 come together to define a nip between the wheels. To provide for a varying volume of feed of material the wheels are relatively movable to vary the size of the pockets. Furthermore the die means include male and female overlapping dies 60, 61. In the bases of the dies are located ejector members 50 which are urged outwards to eject compacted briquettes from the dies. To compress the material prior to entry into the dies there may be a precompression channel 74 which converges towards its outlet end, opposite converging walls of the channels being formed of compression members 75 which move towards one another and towards the outlet end.

Title: Analogue to digital converter
IPC: H03M3/02
Filed: 1990-04-24
Abstract: Analogue signals at i/p are converted to digital data at o/p by means of a Sigma-Delta modulator comprising a pair of bandpass filters H1(s), H2(s) and a feedback loop including DAC 22. The tendency of such a circuit to instability is reduced or eliminated by making small variations in the phase of the block 1 controlling the feedback pulses relative to the clock 2 controlling the data output pulses. As an alternative, corrections may be made to the feedback pulses by an additional feedback loop providing pulses for correcting the feedback pulses. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-9305753-D0 (GB)
Title: Rapid clothing manufacture
IPC: D04H1/54
Filed: 1993-03-19
Abstract: A process for the rapid manufacture of clothing, e.g. panties and bra, by mass production techniques is based upon the use of a body-form 10 which is hollow, but has walls which are in part polished and impermeable 11, and in part porous 13. The porous parts correspond to the shape of garments which are to be made. Suction can be applied to the space within the body-form via a tube 20. By placing the body- form into one or more vessels filled with a fluidised bed of fibres and fluids, and applying a suction pulse or pulses to extract an appropriate volume of fluid, fibres are deposited as a mat of appropriate thickness upon the porous areas. Thereafter the mat is subjected in a separate vessel (43) to a tacking process which joins fibres to each other and converts the mat into a fabric. The tacking process may utilise laser beams, a spray of flexible bonding agents, heating, or electrostatic attraction of droplets of chemically active adhesive. The body-forms are recycled and reused using them in train on a track 25. Variations of detail enable the articles of clothing to be of different forms, of different sizes, of different and varied thicknesses (14) or with patterns (17), areas of different colour (61), lacelike patterns (17), or button-holes (66), pockets (51), and fullness outside a normal body as in a dress (Fig. 6 not shown). <IMAGE>

A predetermined amount of fuel is kept constant in the container by a floater which carries a needle for opening and closing a return as required. In the pressurized container the fuel is kept by a compressor under compressed air pressure which may be regulated by a pressure control valve, so that when the valve is opened fuel and air both under the same pressure are pressed into a nozzle unit in which air is highly pressed in the fuel so that when it leaves the nozzle channel it expands in an explosive manner and bursts the fuel into fine droplets. Secondary combustion air from an air generator is blown into the flame perpendicularly to the axis of the flame and fed to the fuel-air mixture.

IPC: G01N3/40
Filed: 1978-03-03
Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the consistency or hardness of a material, for example skin tissue on a living body, comprises a support to be applied against the material to be tested and a feeler movably carried by the support for displacement through a distance which will be proportional to the hardness or consistency being measured. To avoid the need for careful positioning of the device on the test material with a carefully constant bearing pressure, a control circuit is provided for recording the displacement of the feeler only when the bearing pressure of the support on the test material has a predetermined value. The reading of the displacement is held and is preferably digital. Application of the support successively to different points on the test material will enable a true comparison of the readings at the various points.
