Patent GB-2370951-A (GB)
Title: Data communications
Inventor: SPAARGAREN JEROME
IPC: H04M1/72457
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: A system enabling the dissemination of location data between user terminals and to and from network resources, and the utilisation of the location data in a manner convenient to users. User terminals, such as cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal computers, and other interactive devices, may be location-enabled or conventional user terminals capable of transmitting service request data to network resources. In the case of location-enabled terminals, the terminal may store a plurality of items of location data, including spatial coordinate data, for dissemination to other user terminals and/or for transmission to network resources. The items of location data may be derived from systems for sensing the location of the mobile terminal, including satellite base positioning systems such as the global positioning system (GPS) or network-based or assisted positioning systems. Other sources of location data include other user terminals, network resources or manual provisioning of location data by the user at the terminal. In an alternative embodiment, user-selected location data is stored in a networkside store for use by the user in relation to a range of remote processes, and is made accessible to a range of other network resources or user. Items from the network-side store may transmitted to others for use in relation to service requests and other processes.

Title: Debris-free well casing explosive perforating system with shaped charge
Inventor: KNEISL PHILIP
IPC: C06B45/10
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: The present invention provides a well casing perforating system that produces less debris. In one embodiment, the debris-free perforating system includes a caseless shaped charge 12, fig.4, which may be densified eg with powdered tungsten, iron, copper or lead and may carried by a solid loading tube (36, fig.5), eg made from low-density or foamed plastics or paper. The loading tube can additionally be combustible and can be coated with an oxidizer to ensure incineration. The charge may comprise a binder of thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics, eg an epoxy resin, or a combination of both, eg a fluoropolymer. A thermoplastic-thermosetting binder may be made by blending thermoplastics and thermosetting components, curing the blend with a latent curing agent and coating the explosive particles with the cured blend. A fluoropolymer binder may be made by formulating a plastic bonded explosive using a water slurry process, pressing the powder to shape and exposing the moulded shape to electron radiation. The shaped charge may have a thin casing 10 and/or jacket 24, fig.6, eg of thin metal, glass or ceramic material.

Title: Machine for removing vegetation
Inventor: BISHOP JOHN ROBERT
IPC: A01D51/00
Filed: 2003-12-08
Abstract: A lawncare machine 100 has a powered rotary raking or scarifying reel 5 together with a powered vacuum collector 8 whereby material thrown up by the reel is immediately drawn into the collection chamber 8. During removal of vegetation material, it is drawn into chamber 8 due to a suction created by a fan 2. The material is normally held in the box by means of a perforated screen 10 situated between the box and fan entry. Chamber 8 may be emptied by moving screen 10 so tat the material is discharged through fan 2. Alternatively, chamber 8 may be emptied by means of flap valves 19, 21, 23 which cause a reversal of the airflow through the chamber so that the collected material never passes through the fan. (Figure 4). The principle of simultaneous vacuum collection may be applied to a hand-held cutting machine 110 so that the cut grass or vegetation is immediately drawn into the collector box or bag 32. (Figure 6).

Title: Support structure for transport of elongate shaped loads
Inventor: RENDER STEPHEN
IPC: B66C1/10
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: The structure comprises at least one and more generally a plurality of substantially rigid "U" shaped support members 14 that stand vertically and parallel a predetermined distance between each other. The "U" shaped members generally comprise a base horizontal beam and upstanding vertical members at each end of the beam. The elongate shaped loads, such as pile cages, tubes, etc, are horizontally stacked within the "U" shaped members which are arranged to be supported on a loading vehicle or on the ground, in the latter case with the aid of legs 28. The vertical members 20 have engaging means in the form of lugs 22, by which that can be attached to an upper structure 12, via lugs 46 provided on said structure 12 and a collar sling (not shown) linking both lugs 22 and 46. The upper structure 12 is generally of rectangular shape and made with two parallel beams 34 running longitudinally joined at right angles by transverse beams 36 to which is fixed, via brackets 44, a rail 42 that prevents the vertical members 22 from bending towards each other due to the force exerted by a lifting hoist connected to the collar slings or to the lifting eyes 40. The structure is arranged so it can be fit on a loading vehicle for transport and so it can be unloaded along with the load that is being unloaded, onto the ground.

Patent GB-2416111-A (GB)
Title: Cleaning device for decorating rollers
Inventor: LOWE JASON DAVID
IPC: A46B17/06
Filed: 2004-07-13
Abstract: Consists of a container 1, into which a soiled decorating roller 8 is placed. The soiled roller to be cleaned is firstly fitted over a rotatable spindle 2, which can be part of the combined handle and lid component 5. After placing the roller within the device, it is closed and ready for use. In operation, the device is placed into a sink, and specifically positioned over the sink waste outlet. It is then gently pushed down causing the water drain 6 to fit down into the sink plug outlet. Mains water is supplied via a flexible hose 7 from the sink tap. The roller 8 is cleaned by the flow of water from the tap, which is fed into the top of the device through the capsule connector 4, and then channelled, through a series of jets 3 which are inside the container. The jets 3 are angled sufficiently to cause the roller 8 to spin under the water pressure created by the jets. The resulting centrifugal force generated by the spinning roller, and force of water from the jets, causes the roller to shed its emulsion within the container. The soiled waste water then drains away under gravity down to the bottom of the device, and via the water drain 6, away through the sink plug hole.

Title: System and method for testing a computer memory by copying the data from a portion to be tested into a secondary memory whilst the memory is tested
Inventor: SHIDLA DALE JOHN
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 2004-08-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for testing the memory of a computer system whilst the computer is running. The method comprises the steps of copying the data in a portion of the memory into a second memory as a cache. The portion of the memory is then tested. After the test is completed and any bad sectors repaired, the data is copied back into the tested portion. The method is then repeated on the next portion of the memory. The system is implemented on a computer system by a memory controller which comprises a cache and a cache controller. The cache controller copies the data from the area to be tested into the cache and readdresses any data requests from a system processor for data from the area being tested to the cache, such that the testing is invisible to the processor. The cache controller may make the data in the area being tested not available to be read. The controller may write data in the cache memory when write requests to the area under test are received during the testing. The system may be executed as part of the operating system and include a testing engine to do the testing.
