Title: Dispensing caps for liquid containers
IPC: B65D47/20
Filed: 2005-10-27
Abstract: A drinking cap constitutes a one-piece molding of polymeric material including a first circular section tubular portion (2) for connection to the mouth of a beverage container and a second smaller circular section tubular portion (6) situated at least partially within the first tubular portion. The first tubular portion is connected to the second tubular portion by a resilient, annular, integral web (4), in which one or more flow openings (18) are formed. One end of the second tubular portion (6) is closed. The upper or external surface of the web (4) carries a projecting annular first sealing flange (20) at a point intermediate its ends, as seen in axial sectional view. The first and second tubular portion (2, 6) are coaxial and relatively movable in the axial direction between an open position, in which the flow openings (18) are unobstructed, and a closed position, in which the sealing flange (20) is in sealing engagement with the internal surface of the first tubular portion (2). The flow openings (18) are thus prevented from communicating with the atmosphere. When the cap is in the closed position, the free edge of the first sealing flange (20) forms a substantially line seal with the internal surface of the first tubular portion (2).

Patent GB-0719117-D0 (GB)
Title: Terminal positioning technique
Filed: 2007-10-02
Abstract: Using satellite location techniques for mobile terminal positioning in indoor environments is challenging because these location techniques rely on "line of sight" communications to satellites. To improve the location technique used in conventional location based services (LBS), the invention describes a method for detecting when a mobile terminal moves from an indoor environment to an outdoor environment (or vice versa). The method detects changes in received signal strength that are characteristic of a change of environment and controls the location technique accordingly: the terminal retains last known "good" location measurements when the new environment is inferred to be an indoor environment.

Title: Treating liquid involving cation exchange
IPC: B01J47/04
Filed: 1985-12-09
Abstract: A process is disclosed for exchanging hardness ions and selectively removing nitrate ions from a liquid, e.g. water, comprising passing the liquid through a cation/anion exchange resin mixture, whereby (i) hardness ions are exchanged, (ii) cations and nitrate ions, present in the liquid before its passage through the resin mixture, are each independently removed or reduced to a desired level, and (iii) the anion exchange resin is loaded with nitrate ions to at least 80% of its nitrate removal capacity, and wherein the resin mixture is at least initially regenerated with chloride salt.

Title: Method for controling of male sterility using externally inducible promoter sequences
Inventor: TAYLOR LOVERINE
IPC: C07K14/415
Filed: 1993-03-09
Abstract: An inducible promoter is used to regulate expression of a gene which is known to be critical to male fertility. The selected gene's control sequences are modified so that it is normally "off" and as a result the plants are male sterile. When it is desired to reproduce the male sterile plants, male fertility is restored by treating the plants with a non-phytotoxic chemical which induces expression of the critical gene. A critical gene is one which affects flavonol production and in particular compounds of the formula:    <IMAGE>   wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R7, and R8, are hydrogen, hydroxyl or alkoxy having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred flavonols include galangin, kaempferol, iso-rhamnetin, quercetin and morin.

Date May 24, 1984.A continuously variable optical delay line having a first substrate (66, 70) and a second substrate (95). The first substrate is composed of a quartz block (70) with a large radius of curvature along its length, supporting a silicon substrate (66) having a plurality of longitudinal, parallel v-grooves (68). A single length (121) of single mode optical fiber is wrapped around the first substrate (66, 70) in helical fashion with each loop being secured in one of the v-grooves (68). The portions of the fiber (121) in the v-grooves (68) are lapped and polished to create a flat coupling surface extending laterally and longitudinally across the first substrate (66, 70). The second substrate (91) is composed of a quartz block with a single v-groove holding a segment of single mode fiber (95). The radius of curvature of this v-groove is substantially smaller than that of the first substrate, such that the flat coupling surface of the second substrate (91) is shorter than that of the first substrate (66). The first and second substrates are placed together such that the fiber in the second substrate is coupled to the fiber in the first substrate. By moving (142) the second substrate longitudinally with respect to the first substrate, a continuously variable delay can be obtained. The continuously variable delay line can be combined with a separate discretely variable delay line to create a longer continuous variable delay. The continuous variable delay line can be formed with only one v-groove (68) in the first substrate (66).
