Title: Safety gate with abacus
Inventor: EKPETI PATRICK
IPC: E06B9/01
Filed: 2009-05-14
Abstract: A gate which may be a stair gate or a safety gate incorporates an abacus into its main frame. The gate may hang on hooks A which allows it to swing both ways. When the gate is hung on a hook A, it is secured in place by a nut embedded in a plastic shell L. To engage the gate, in the opening mode the gate needs to be lifted upwards to align it with the grove M then pull or push out. To shut the gate simply reverse the description above, for example reposition the gate to align with M and drop in the gate into the grove. The abacus may be situated on the threshold strip O. The abacus may include ball shapes which may have a rattle included within them. The gate head G may have a variety of designs on it, for example letters of the alphabet, rotating rattles (Fig 3), animated designs that squeak (Fig 4), shapes (Fig 5) or it may be blank (Fig 1).

Title: A Silicone Rubber including a Mineral filler
Inventor: DICKINS CATHERINE
IPC: C08K3/00
Filed: 2009-05-14
Abstract: A silicone rubber composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having a viscosity of at least 100 mPa.s at 25°C, a filler comprising one or more acicular minerals selected from the group of halloysite, sepiolite and/or attapulgite, and a curing agent. The mineral may be treated with an alkoxysilane which renders the minerals more hydrophobic. The curing agent may be a peroxide selected from benzoly peroxide, 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl peroxide and di-t-butyl peroxide. Alternatively the curing agent can be an organohydrosiloxane used with a platinum group metal hydrosilylation catalyst. The method of forming the silicone rubber composition includes steps of mixing an organopolysiloxane and mineral filler at room temperature, then adding a curing agent and curing the mixture by the application of heat. The silicon rubber composition may be used for silicone profile extrusions, wire and cable coatings, glazing gaskets and for construction gaskets.

Title: Improved method for interpolation of tristimulus values on pixels of an image sensor.
Inventor: NISCHWITZ ALFRED
IPC: G06T3/40
Filed: 2009-12-16
Abstract: The invention improves a known adaptive homogeneity-directed (AHD) method for interpolating missing tristimulus values on pixels of an image sensor with color filter in one of three colours, for example RGB, in front of each pixel (such as the Bayer filter of Figure 1). The improvements comprise different variants of individual method steps, provided individually or in combination. The method employs the horizontal (vertical) colour differences for calculating the horizontal (vertical) red and blue values. According to the invention, first the missing blue values are calculated at the red pixels and the missing red values are calculated at the blue pixels (step 2a). Only then are the missing blue and red values at the green pixels calculated, as indicated in step 2b. The method further comprises the calculation of homogeneity values (also in the CIELAB space) in order to select the horizontal or vertical tristimulus values.

Title: Improvements in and relating to steam traps
IPC: F16T1/06
Filed: 1919-04-29
Abstract: 148,002. Westinghouse Brake Co., and Barty, T. April 29, 1919. Steam-traps.-Relates to steam-traps for the heating-systems of railway vehicles or for similar purposes of the type in which the discharge valve is controlled by a thermostatic expansion element. According to the invention, in order to prevent access of the water of condensation to the thermostatic element 1, the discharge outlet 8 is located in a compartment 9 separate from the chamber 2 containing the element 1, and the valve 7 is located between the live steam pipe 13 and the discharge outlet, so that, when closed, it prevents access of steam to the.chamber 2. The head of the valve 7 is preferably of a conical shape so as to direct the water of condensation from the end 12 of the steam-pipe away from the opening in the compartment 9 through which the valve stem 6 slides. The invention may be applied to steam-traps in which the steam-pipe is either vertical or horizontal.

Title: Improvements in and relating to fluid pressure braking apparatus
IPC: B60T15/18
Filed: 1919-04-29
Abstract: 149,037. Westinghouse Brake Co., and Stone, L. G. April 29, 1919. Fluid-pressure.-The slide valve of a triple valve is provided with an additional valve, adapted when the train-pipe pressure is raised to a predetermined extent, to vent the train-pipe to atmosphere or an exhaust receptacle, whereby the valve is returned to close the brake cylinder exhaust, a partial release of the brakes being thus effected. The application to a system using differential brake cylinders is described. The triple valve is provided with usual main and graduating slide valves 6, 3 and in the full release position, Fig. 4, is adapted to connect both sides of the brake cylinder piston 13, Fig. 5, to atmosphere, the passage 8 from one side 8<1> of the piston being connected to a port 14 which is connected by the cavity 16 to the exhaust port 15 and the passage 22 from the other side of the piston being connected by the cavity 26 to the passage 8. In the application position, Fig. 1, auxiliary reservoir air feeds to the chamber 8<1> of the brake cylinder, by way of chamber 4, port 12, cavity 11, and passages 10, 8. To effect a graduated release, the train pipe pressure is raised sufficiently to move the valve 6 and an additional valve 7 to the position shown in Fig. 3 in which a cavity 17 in the valve 7 connects passages 18, 19 in the main valve 3, leading respectively to the passages 8 and 22 so that the pressure on the two sides of the brake piston 13 commences to equalize. The trainpipe chamber 5 is however in this position of the valves connected to the exhaust port 15 by the passages 24, 25 and cavity 23 so that the valves 6, 7 are moved to the right sufficiently to lap the passages 18, 19, thereby stopping further equalization of the pressure in the brake, cylinder, the passages 24, 25 also being lapped to stop the exhaust of the train-pipe chamber. The brake cylinder supply passages 10, 12 are lapped by the valve 6 both in the position shown in Fig. 3 and in the lap release position just referred to which is also the position assumed by the valves when the train-pipe and auxiliary reservoir pressures have equalized in making a graduated application of the brakes.
