Title: Liquid applicator
Inventor: STENTON RICHARD J
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2008-05-29
Abstract: A liquid applicator 1 comprises a reservoir 4 for containing a liquid to be applied and an outlet connected the reservoir. There is an applicator tip 3 provided for discharge of the liquid. There is a plug 12 located in the mouth of the reservoir 4, the plug 12 and mouth being configured so that the plug 12 is moveable towards the applicator tip 3 from a first position at which it seals the reservoir 4 to a second position at which fluid may flow out of the reservoir 4. There is and actuator means 24, 25 for applying an actuating force to the mouth wall to effect movement of the plug 12 towards the outlet portion and for squeezing the walls of the reservoir 4 to effect discharge of liquid from the reservoir via the outlet.

Title: IP network camera and server system
Inventor: SPITERI CONRAD CHARLES
IPC: G08B13/196
Filed: 2008-07-07
Abstract: An IP network camera 2 and a server system 5 is shown. The camera has detection means to detect the presence of a local internet connection and generation means to generate a predetermined outbound server address communication with the camera logging on upon detection of the local internet connection. The server is programmed with the server address and has initiation means to receive a communication from the camera and to validate the camera credentials and to send the camera log on confirmation. In use, the camera receives the confirmation and opens a TCP/UDP or other session with the server. A 6 user can communicate with the camera using the server as a relay and fooling the camera into thinking the commands come are a response to camera requests and overcomes security devices such as firewalls and network address translation. When the user requests to view live video, in order to minimize server bandwidth, the server will ask the camera and the client computer to start a connectionless UDP session with each other without having the data pass directly through the server.

Title: Marker for bovine milk or tissue colour
Inventor: THOMAS NATALIE LOUISE
IPC: C12Q1/26
Filed: 2008-09-02
Abstract: A method of determining a bovine trait for milk or tissue colour, or milk or tissue beta-carotene content, comprises determining the beta-carotene oxygenase 2 (BCO2) genotype of said bovine. In particular the presence or absence of the A allele or of the G allele at the W80Stop G/A polymorphism in the BCO2 gene is associated with variation in milk or tissue colour or beta-carotene content. Probes and primers for the genotyping are provided, as are methods for selecting and breeding bovines on the basis of their BCO2 genotype.

Title: Network traffic monitor for multi-tier server arrangement loops back packets from one server to another on same device
Inventor: YOKOYAMA KEN
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2009-07-30
Abstract: Hierarchical arrangements of servers (11,21,41) are known in the art and traditionally exist on separate machines (10,20,40 in Fig. 13). This allows traffic passing through LAN switches (60,70,80) to be mirrored to monitoring station (90). However in some implementations servers (11,21) can exist on the same machine (30), in which case the traffic between them does not pass through a LAN switch and cannot be copied to the monitoring station (90) (see Fig. 15). The invention forces the traffic between servers (11,21) to exit machine (30) and pass into loopback device (50). The loopback device duplicates the traffic packets and mirrors them to network monitor (90). The address of the original packet is then updated so that it passes back into machine (30) towards the other server (21,11). Hence traffic between servers on the same machine can be monitored without needing to install the monitor in machine (30).

Title: Mechanical fastening and locking of structural, fluid, and eletrical components and systems
Inventor: ALBRECHT DAVID EUGENE
IPC: F16K27/00
Filed: 2008-06-24
Abstract: A stack or assembly of fluid, mechanical, and/or electrical components permits removal of some components for maintenance, without compromising the fluid integrity of the remainder of the assembly. A fastening bolt, attached to at least one fluid component, is screwed into a stacking bolt, attached to another fluid component, the bolts being screwed together inside the bore of an adapter plate. A resilient insert sits between the head of the stacking bolt and the bore. At least a portion of the bore has a continuous taper, such that the diameter of the bore decreases in the vicinity of the insert. The taper creates a reduced diameter hole on one surface of the adapter plate, thus preventing interference between fluid ports on an adjacent fluid component. The taper also prevents loss of the insert during transportation and storage, and prevents undesired extrusion of material of the insert when the components are fastened together.

Abstract: 215,001. Bassick Manufacturing Co., (Assignees of Fesler, D. F.). April 27, 1923, [Convention date]. Single-acting suction-valveless piston pumps ; lever-actuated pumps ; suction reservoirs. - A lubricant compressor comprises a low-pressure cylinder 5 communicating through a passage 22 formed in an end cover 19 with a high-pressure cylinder 21 formed in a bracket 20 extending from the cover 19. A spring-pressed plunger 30 working in the cylinder 21 is operated by a handle 38 pivoted to the plunger and to a pair of links 33 pivoted to the-bracket. A stop 36 is provided to limit the upward movement of the plunger. A piston 6 working in the cylinder 5 has a rod 11 which passes through a sleeve 12 in the end 13 of the cylinder. The rod 11 terminates in a foot 14 adapted to rest on a support, and a stop 15 is adjustably secured to the rod. The end 13 is provided with a vent hole 18 and the piston 6 may be pressed upwards by a spring 17. A chamber 23 below the cylinder 21 houses a spring- pressed check valve 25, and a flexible pipe 43, provided with a coupling member for attachment to a bearing nipple 53, is attached to the chamber. In use, on the upward stroke, of the plunger, atmospheric pressure, assisted by the spring 17, acts on the piston 6 to force lubricant from the cylinder 5 into the cylinder 21, whence it is ejected through the pipe 43 on the downward stroke.

Title: Improvements in or relating to information shifting devices
Inventor: TICKLE ANDREW CHARLES
IPC: G11C19/08
Filed: 1964-03-10
Abstract: 1,103,163. Shift registers. INTERNATIONAL COMPUTERS & TABULATORS Ltd. 8 March, 1965 [10 March, 1964], No. 10132/64. Heading G4C. [Also in Division H3] A shift register comprises a strip of anisotropic magnetic film with a first common track and a second part comprising two tracks 1, 2 joined at 3 to the common track wherein the strip has a first stable state in one direction and a second stable state in the opposite direction representing an item of information and shifting means 9, 10 shift the information along the register. The shifting means 9, 10 comprises two interlaced conductors traversing the strip backwards and forwards with one conductor lying in the spaces created by the other, and the conductors are energized alternately, successive energizations of each conductor having opposite polarities. In a first embodiment the writing head 13 is situated on the common track and a sense conductor strip 6 together with a read-out drive conductor 7, which re-sets a piece of information to its first magnetic state thus increasing the change of flux, are looped through slots 5 to overlie the branch track 2 but by-pass behind the main track 1 thus preventing read-out from this track 1. Two registers 11, 12 may be formed on the same substrate 4 with common shift means 9, 10 and shift-inhibit conductors 8 whereof one may be energized to erase the information on that track and permit read-out from the other track only. The information may be recirculated through the register by forming the strips on a cylinder with the main track 1 connecting with the common track (Fig. 3, not shown). If the positions of the read and write heads are reversed the junction 3 acts as an OR-gate for the information on the two tracks. The two branches of two registers acting in opposite directions may be joined. (Fig. 4, not shown) wherein the effective length of the branches differs either by using common shift means with strips of different lengths or by using strips of the same length with differing numbers of shift conductor cross-overs or with the shift conductors pulsed at differing rates. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 857,289.
