Title: Adjustable angle drilling rig
Inventor: VOELKEL GERHARD
IPC: E21B7/04
Filed: 2008-01-28
Abstract: An angle drilling device for introducing or expanding wellbores that are inclined in relation to the horizontal comprises an angle-adjustable bore rig 2, for a movable feed drive 6, pivotally connected with a base frame 1 at pivot point 3 while a connection 7, for example a link bar, extends between the feed drive and the base frame at a second pivot point 8 and has a constant length. The change in inclination is achieved as a consequence of the distance between both pivot points 3 and 8 remaining constant and the constant length of the connection 7 between the feed drive and the base frame such that the attempted movement of the feed drive causes a change in the angles between the bore rig 2 the base frame 1 and the connection 7. The bore rig is held in position between two locking plates on the base frame by pins inserted in holes 10 and 11 in the locking plates 9.

Title: Distilled beverages using water of pH 6.5 or less
Inventor: MOOR TIMOTHY NICHOLAS
IPC: C12G3/00
Filed: 2008-11-11
Abstract: Water having a pH of 6.5 or less is used in the fermentation/distillation stage and/or the dilution state in the production of distilled alcoholic beverages, particularly gin, vodka and whiskey, to provide a spirit with a refreshing zesty taste. Water with a pH of between 6.3 and 4.5 is most preferred. This may be achieved using suitable natural spring water with a nitrate content of no more than 1 milligram per litre and a sodium content of no greater than 8 mg/litre. The alcoholic beverage preferably comprises 55 to 65 wt % water with a pH of 6.5 or lower mixed with between 45 and 35 wt % of ethanol of at least 98.5% purity.

Title: Combination lock with externally accessible cancelling device
Inventor: MACDONALD GRANT
IPC: E05B37/00
Filed: 2008-11-13
Abstract: A combination lock 10 comprises a housing 11 defining a mounting face 12, a locking mechanism 21 accommodated in the housing 11 and a cancelling device that is accessible at an external location of the housing. A set of operating elements 25 with buttons 26 are accessible at the front of the housing and are actuable, such as by axial displacement, to operate the locking mechanism 21. The locking mechanism 21 can be changed from a locking state to a release state in response to actuation of, and only of, a selected group of the operating elements 25. These elements can additionally be manipulated, in particular rotated, to select the group. The lock further comprises a blocking plate device, such as a slideable plate, 31 blocking the rotation of the operating elements 25. The cancelling device may cancel the blocking of the plate and may include a key barrel 37 accessible for operation externally of the housing 11 at a place, in particular the front of the housing, separate from the mounting face. Operation of the key barrel 37 thus has the consequence of freeing the buttons 26 for rotation to change the code.

Title: Spectrum allocation in cognitive radio networks
Inventor: FAN ZHONG
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2008-11-26
Abstract: Medium access coordination and spectrum allocation for establishment of wireless communications in the context of dynamic spectrum access for cognitive radio networks. For a given network topology, the proposed method first generates an interference graph (or conflict graph) 24 based on the network topology, traffic flows and interference constraints. Then a graph colouring algorithm 26 is applied to the interference graph and the chromatic number of the graph is obtained. The chromatic number is the minimum number of distinct spectrum slices required. The spectrum allocation is also based on a max-min fair share algorithm 32 or proportional fair algorithm 30 according to the spectrum demands for different spectrum slices or blocks. The proposed technique helps achieve two goals in cognitive radio networks: efficient utilization of spectrum opportunities and fair allocation of spectrum resources among secondary users.

Title: Apparatus and method for heat sealing a container
Inventor: GILL MARK
IPC: B65B7/16
Filed: 2009-05-14
Abstract: A container sealing apparatus 10 comprises an electrically conductive linearly displaceable cutting member 14 operable to cut a portion 18 of sealing material from a web 16 and an independently linearly displaceable transfer member 42 comprising an electrically insulating material and extendible relative to the cutting member 14 to transfer the cut portion 18 of sealing material to an open top of a container 12 to be sealed.

IPC: A47C7/56
Filed: 2009-09-10
Abstract: A child safety seat 10 includes a base 12, a seat body 14 and an engaging mechanism (16, Figure 1). The seat body has a rib structure (22, Figure 3). The rib structure (22) is movably disposed in a guide-slot structure (18, Figure 2) of the base 12 so that the seat body 14 is capable of sliding relative to the base 12. The engaging mechanism (16) includes a first engaging part (30, Figure 4) and a driving device (28, Figure 4). The first engaging part (30) is movably disposed on the seat body 14 for engaging with a tooth-shaped structure (20, Figure 2) of the base 12. The driving device (28) is movably connected to the first engaging part (30) and is movably installed on the seat body 14 so that the driving device (28) is capable of moving between a releasing position and a locking position relative to the seat body 14. Thus, when the driving device (28) moves relative to the seat body 14, the driving device (28) can drive the first engaging part (30) to alternatively engage with or separate from the tooth-shaped structure (20).
