Title: Mist injector for gas treatment
IPC: F23J15/00
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: A device and a method for producing a fine liquid mist and injecting the said mist into a gas stream to capture and remove very fine particulate pollutants. The pressurized gas stream is passed into a droplet generator (20) into which the liquid is sprayed and atomised into a mist which captures particulates and then into a droplet separator (30) to produce a separated liquid/particulate mixture and a gas stream with a reduced concentration of particulates. The main application is the removal of fine particulates from vehicle exhaust streams. Optionally a degassing stage (90) is provided for the removal of residual gases and vapours. The preferred liquid to form the mist is water.

Title: Window stay arrangement
IPC: E05D15/30
Filed: 2004-11-19
Abstract: A stay arrangement (10) has a sash arm (12) and a frame track (18). Two carriages (20, 20A) carry the stay arrangement, by pivots (28, 34). Both carriages (20, 22) are able to move along the track (18) but are constrained by a locking arrangement controlling the carriage (22), and a friction arrangement controlling the carriage (20). With the locking arrangement engaged, the window can open normally, to a fully open position for emergency egress. With the locking arrangement released, the carriage (22) can move from the end of the track (18) (as shown) to allow access to the outside face of the window, for cleaning. The pivot arrangements shown, and particularly the use of a slot (62), allow the motion of the sash to be modified, for example to ensure that seals are not trapped, or to accommodate different sash or frame profiles.

Title: Pressure actuator
Filed: 2009-05-11
Abstract: This invention discloses medical bandage devices for venous leg ulcer treatments and long distance travelers on transportations such as trains and planes. The devices utilize the recovery force generated by a shape memory polymer (SMP) or SMP/composite strips to produce a static pressure profile to help blood circulation, hence to speed up the healing process of a venous leg ulcer. The invention discloses the structures of the bandages, which may consist of a single layer or multi-layers, with SMP in sheet or strips form and SMP as a single layer or integrated into fabrics, the structure of the bandage device, and the manufacture methods to produce the SMP-based bandage devices. The stimulus which is used to actuate the SMP may include, but not exclude, heat, UV- or infrared-light, RF microwave, chemical or even water. The SMP may be selected from thermoplastic and thermoset (covalently cross-linked) polymeric materials. Such polymeric materials include polymers based upon polyurethane, polystyrene, polynorbornene, polyethyleneterephthalate, polyethyleneoxide, poly(1,4-butadiene), poly(Tetrahydrofuran) and ABA triblock copolymers made from poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-based SMPs and a biodegradable SMP such as oligo-(ε-caprolactone)diol and crystallisable oligo-(&rgr;-dioxanone)diol.

Patent GB-8719405-D0 (GB)
Title: Memories
IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 1987-08-17
Abstract: A memory may contain a large number of bytes of data perhaps as many as 256 megabytes in a typical large memory structure. An error correcting code algorithm may be used to identify failing memory modules in a memory system. In a particular embodiment, a number of spares may be provided on each memory card allowing a predetermined number of defective array modules to be replaced in a storage word. With double bit correction provided by the error correcting code logic, a number of bits can be corrected on a card or a larger number of bits can be corrected on a card pair, where the larger number of bits is somewhat less than double the number of bits which can be corrected on a single card. The address test in accordance with the present invention then produces a pattern that will create a difference greater than that larger number of bits between the data stored in a storage location under test and any address that could be accessed by an address line failure. The method according to the present invention predicts the effect of an address line failure external to the array modules and internal to a card pair and then tests to see if a failure has occurred. The address test does not declare an address failure until a predetermined number of bit failures on a card is found. The test is valid for single and multiple address line failures. Since only one address bit is changed for each path through the test other failing address lines will not be detected until the path with those failing address bits are tested. Thus, even with multiple address line failure the two addresses that are stored to and fetched from are the only one address bit apart.

Patent GB-8824079-D0 (GB)
Title: Transport apparatus for boards
IPC: H05K13/00
Filed: 1988-10-13
Abstract: A transport apparatus for boards or workpieces in board form, for example printed circuit boards which are to be coated with plastic, for example UV curable plastic, has advancing means for the transport of the boards and grippers or clamps for seizing the board edges during the transport and advancement of the boards. In order to avoid a risk of damaging the sensitive board surfaces, in particular when transferring the boards from one conveyor to the other, the gripper or grippers or clamps is/are attached to a holding element or rack, releasably coupled to the transporting or advancing means of the apparatus. This holding element remains connected, via its grippers to the board during the complete transport of the latter and can be transferred and reloaded together with the board held by it at transitions from one advancing means to another or from one processing station to the other. The handling of the boards is thus in practice directed instead to its holding elements and consequently the risk which this handling entails is kept away from the boards.

Title: Paging receiver
IPC: G04R20/00
Filed: 1991-06-07
Abstract: A receiver is provided to receive at least a first call number with accompanying message information and a second call number with accompanying common information (e.g. time, weather, stock quotes). The power is supplied to the wireless section of the selective call receiver only for the time period during which information associated with each call number is received. Further, the second call number is common to all receivers and may be received each time the first call number is received. To reduce the consumption of the power supply, the receiver is provided with an execution control signal which may be selectively operated either manually or automatically to control the reception of the second call number. When the second call number is not received or when information is not transmitted in time slots allocated for that purpose, a reduction in the consumption of the power supply is attained.
