Inventor: GRAHAM STEPHEN A
IPC: E21B43/30
Filed: 2006-01-12
Abstract: The system of subterranean wells includes a subsurface flow line 20 having at least a portion within or underlining one or more subterranean formations 12. One or more drainage wells 26, 28, 30, 32, and 34 each extend from the surface and intercept at least one of the subterranean formations at a respective interception location.

Inventor: CARR RICHARD ROBERT
IPC: A47G29/00
Filed: 2008-06-24
Abstract: A hanger may be made of one piece of metal or similarly strong material, that enables the easy hanging of plastic supermarket and recycling bags, holding them open ready for use as a waste bin. A larger version, suitable for recycling bags comprises of two pieces, the back-plate 1 and the hanger 2. A scaled down version, suitable to fit a supermarket bag or larger tie handle recycling type bags comes in one piece with two fixing tags 4. The hangers are secured by screws or similar to a vertical surface such as a wall. The hanger may have indentations in it at exactly the right distance to facilitate the stretching of bag handles into the indents thus supporting the bag and holding the bag open ready for use. The basic design is available in wide or long format where the indents are either on the right and left of the hanger or alternatively to the rear and front. The hanger made of one piece of bent metal is easily cleaned for applications where hygiene is of importance. The larger hanger slides into a back-plate and the two can be easily separated by hand, sliding the hanger up out of the back-plate, enabling easy removal of bags and the advantage of making it easily removable in areas where space is limited.

Title: Time delay line with low sensitivity to process variations
Inventor: ARNBORG TORKEL
IPC: H03K5/13
Filed: 2008-09-26
Abstract: A delay line (10, fig. 1) comprises delay elements e.g. inverters 12 connected in series. Inverter 12 comprises transistors 14, 16 connected in series. When a signal is applied to input 18 of inverter 12 there will be a delay before the signal appears at output 20. Transistors 14, 16 have a channel length near the midpoint (A, fig. 4) in the Reverse Short Channel Effect (RSCE) range of the threshold voltage curve. Process variations cause the channel length (and therefore the time delay) to vary however in the RCSE range the time delay sensitivity is reduced. The delay line (10, fig. 1) may be used in the phase detector (104, fig. 6) of a Phase Locked Loop (PLL), in a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter, in an amplifier circuit (fig. 10) or in a delay locked loop (fig. 11).

Title: A masking glove on a vehicle wing-mirror protecting it from overspray during painting
Inventor: THOMAS JACK ALAN
IPC: B05B12/24
Filed: 2009-04-22
Abstract: The invention entails a latex rubber-like glove to mask a vehicle wing-mirror during spray-painting of the vehicle so as to protect it from overspray. Ideally the mirror glove is fingerless, somewhat similar to a mitten. The rubber-like wing-mirror glove / mitten / cover / protector is flexible and elastic, and therefore snugly holds on to the wing-mirror. An elastic ring may be provided at the cuff to hold it onto the base of the wing mirror. Unlike paper, the mirror glove allegedly does not release the overspray paint / contaminants that have landed onto it. In this way, a vehicle exterior wing mirror may be protected from overspray during spray-painting without having to wrap it in paper and masking tape.

Title: Surface treating appliance with valve mounted on boss
Inventor: MCLUCKIE PAUL ANDREW
IPC: A47L5/32
Filed: 2009-10-15
Abstract: A surface treating appliance (10, Fig 1) comprises a surface treating head (12, Fig 1), a hose (88, Fig 1) and a rotary changeover valve 110 for allowing fluid flow between a fan unit (76, Fig 5a) and either the surface treating head (12, Fig 1) or the hose (88, Fig 1). Valve member 112 comprises a hub 122 with an internal surface 123 shaped to receive a boss (124, Fig 7d). Boss (124, Fig 7d) may form the shape of a triangular prism, and may be tapered, for imparting a translational movement along the longitudinal axis (L, Fig 7d) of the boss to the valve member 112 as it is selectively rotated. This serves to facilitate the breaking of seals between the valve member 112 and the air outlets (68a, 80a, 108a, Fig 7a). Boss (124, Fig 7d) may be connected to main body (14, Fig 1), or to casing of fan unit (72, Fig 7a). A valve drive 340 may be used to drive valve member 112. Appliance (10, Fig 1) may comprise a stand (180, Fig 13).

Filed: 2009-10-27
Abstract: A container 100 includes a base 102 having a base peripheral portion 116 and a lid 104 having a lid peripheral portion 118. The lid peripheral portion 118 is mountable to the base peripheral portion 116 to mount the lid 104 to the base 102 for closing the container 100. A frangible hinge member 120 pivotably joins the base 102 to the lid 104. The hinge member 120 includes a base hinge panel 124a joined to the base peripheral portion 116, and a lid hinge panel 124b joined to the lid peripheral portion 118. The base and lid hinge panels 124a,b are pivotally joined together at a pivot region. One of the base hinge panel 124a and the lid hinge panel 124b has a line of weakness 152 extending at least partially thereacross. At least a portion of the line of weakness 152 is spaced from and positioned inwardly of the pivot region. The one of the base hinge panel 124a and the lid hinge panel 124b is separable along the line of weakness 152 into a grasping portion 122 connected to one of the base and the lid, and a flap portion 160 connected to the pivot region. Upon initially closing the container 100, the container 100 cannot be reopened except through breaking the line of weakness 152, this therefore provides tamper evidence.
