Title: Carton with curved wall for bakery products
Inventor: LAKER MARTIN
IPC: B65D5/02
Filed: 2007-10-04
Abstract: The carton, suitable for products such as baguettes, sandwiches or wraps, comprises a curved front wall 4 with a window 22. The container is made from a tubular blank comprising the front wall hinged to a rear wall 6, which itself is hinged to a base panel 12. The side, or end, walls 8, 10 are hinged to the rear panel 6 and attached to the base panel via flaps 44, 46 which are folded inwardly at lines 52 and attached generally via heat sealing to the side walls 8, 10. The side walls further have tabs, or flaps 36, 38, along a curved edge 28, 28', which are folded outwardly to form a close contact closure with flange 30 of the front face. Tabs 36, 38 can be heat sealed to flange 30, and similarly tab 40 of the base panel can be sealed to edge 16 of the front wall, to provide a fully sealed package. In further embodiments, the curved edge 28 can have a polygonal shape instead of a curved one, and tabs 36, 38 on the side walls, may be substituted for flaps (224, 226, Fig.5) located instead on the front wall, which can be folded towards and sealed against the side walls (212, 214, Fig.5).

Title: Drainpipe float valve arrangement
Inventor: FROST KERRY
IPC: E03B3/02
Filed: 2008-03-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a float valve arrangement inside a drainpipe 3. The drainpipe 3 allows storm water to be retained and released gradually thereby controlling the water flow and helping to reduce flooding. The device comprises a float 4 connected to a semi-seal plug 2 inside a drainpipe 3. The semi-seal plug 2 may be shaped so that it does not completely seal against the opening 1. Flow past or through the semi-seal plug 2 is prevented by a buoyant seal 6. The semi-seal plug 2 is connected to a cord S1 ,S2 at one end and the float 4 is connected to the other end of the cord S1 S2. The cord S1,S2 passes through the buoyant seal 6 so that it is able to move freely along the cord S1 ,s2. The float 4 acts as an overflow pulling the cord S1,S2 and lifting semi-seal plug 2 and the buoyant seal 6.

Title: Flood barrier
Inventor: BIRT PETER
IPC: E06B9/00
Filed: 2008-07-19
Abstract: A flood barrier comprising a fibreglass panel to be fixed directly to an external wall by bolts or screws (or equiv), the barrier having a rubber stick gel resin strip to create a seal under the panel or between two barriers mounted in the same vicinity. There may be a central moulded column and two central boxes located on the back of the panel and two horizontal columns to make the frame rigid and withstand the rushing water. The panel may be formed from a moulded sheet of fibreglass and it may be wider than the width of the door or window frame. The rubber seal can be used to create a seal between the panel and any uneven ground located beneath the flood barrier, it can also be used to create a seal between two flood barriers that are placed one above the other in a stacked arrangement to create a taller barrier.

Title: Method for liquefying a hydrocarbon-rich flow
Inventor: FOERG WOLFGANG
IPC: F25J1/02
Filed: 2007-08-24
Abstract: Described is a method for liquefying a hydrocarbon-rich flow, in particular a natural gas flow, through indirect heat exchange with the refrigerant mixture of a refrigerant mixture circuit, whereby the refrigerant mixture is compressed two-stage or multistage, is separated into at least one lower-boiling and at least one higher-boiling refrigerant mixture fraction and the refrigerant mixture fractions are vaporised at different temperature levels against the hydrocarbon-rich flow to be cooled and liquefied and are then unified prior to recompression. During normal operation the refrigerant mixture fractions are not fully vaporised and preferably also not overheated. Hereby at least 1 to 10 % by weight of the total quantity of the refrigerant mixture are not vaporised.

Title: High frequency signal interpolating method and high frequency signal interpolating apparatus
Inventor: SATO YASUSHI
IPC: G10L21/0388
Filed: 2007-10-16
Abstract: A simple processing is used to form favorable high frequency signals and implement a practical interpolation of high frequency signals. A digital audio signal reproduced from a device having a compression function is supplied, as an original signal, to an input terminal (1). This original signal is then supplied to a peak value detecting/holding circuit (2), which detects and holds a peak value to generate a rectangular wave signal in which harmonic components have been formed. These harmonic components are then extracted by a highpass filter (HPF) (3). On the other hand, the original signal from the input terminal (1) is supplied to a delaycircuit (4) having a delay time corresponding to the processing time of the peak value detecting/holding circuit (2). The thus delayed signal is then supplied to a lowpass filter (LPF) (5) to form a signal in which the high frequency components have been removed. The signals from the highpass filter (HPF) (3) and lowpass filter (LPF) (5) are added together by an adder circuit (6) and then supplied to an output terminal (7).

Title: Determining a foreground application independent of input from an interactive display surface
Inventor: PEARCE NIGEL
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2009-08-25
Abstract: A computer system includes an interactive display surface 106, such as a touch screen or an electronic whiteboard, one or more other input devices, such as a mouse 120, and a further display 116. The further display and the interactive display can form a contiguous desktop.

Abstract: 237,024. Crowder, J. April 24, 1924. W i r e strainers; fencing-posts.-Relates to a post for supporting a tennis-net, wire fence &c., of the type in which a nut member to which the cord to' b e tensioned i s attached is caused to move up and down a screwed spindle rotatably mounted in the interior of the post, means being provided at the top of the spindle for rotating same, and consists in the provision of one or more nuts adapted to move up and down a screwed spindle disposed centrally within the post. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3 a nut 7 is mounted on a screwed spindle 6 disposed centrally of a post 1.. The cords or wires 9 of a fence or the like pass into the post 1 over guide, pulleys 10, and are attached to the nut 7, the arrangement being such that an upward movement of the nut tensions all the cords. The upper end of the spindle projects through a cap 3 and is adapted to carry an operating handle. The nut 7 is prevented from rotating by a vertical rod 8. In a modification Fig. 5, the spindle is provided with right and left-hand threads and with two nuts 25, 26, so that the rotation of the spindle causes the nuts to move apart and thereby tensions the cords. The lower end of the post is adapted to be inserted in a ground socket 11 provided with wings 12 to resist displacement.

Abstract: 379,648. Hydraulic accumulators. CAUMONT, H., 14, Rue George Sand, La Varenne-St-Hilaire, Seine, France. April 11, 1932, No. 10307. Convention date, April 13, 1931. [Class 69 (ii).] In hydraulic accumulator apparatus loaded by compressed air, the distribution of liquid is governed by the weight of liquid in the accumulator. The accumulator 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is pivotally mounted at 2, and its other end is connected to a weight 5, which during its upward motion is adapted to pick up weights 7, 8 in succession. The gas space of the accumulator is connected by a conduit 9 to a reservoir 10, and the liquid space by a conduit 11 to conduits 11a, 11b. A valve 16 determines whether a pump 17 is byepassed or delivers to the accumulator, and a valve 14 controls the connection between the accumulator, and the apparatus supplied thereby, said valves being operated from members 19, 20. When the accumulator is in the position shown in Fig. 1, the conduit 11 is closed by a ball 23, Fig. 7, rolling between knife-edged guides 24. A thin film of oil may cover the liquid in the accumulator. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of springs instead of counterweights. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
