Title: Domestic Water Tap
Inventor: FENWICK HENRY TEASDALE
IPC: F16K1/14
Filed: 2009-04-21
Abstract: A water tap (10) for use in regulating the flow of water delivered under pressure. The tap includes a valve seat, a receiving compartment (18) between an inlet (12) and an outlet (14) of the tap, the receiving compartment housing a sealing member (32), the sealing member having a density less than water, and an activating rod (36), whereby the tap is operable between a closed position in which the water pressure urges the sealing member into engagement with the valve seat, thus preventing the flow of water through the tap, and an open position in which the activating rod urges the sealing member away from the valve seat, thus allowing flow of water through the tap. The activating rod is arranged to act through a centroid of the sealing member and to urge the sealing member into a position substantially centrally of the resulting water flow. The receiving compartment and sealing member are so arranged that the water flow through the receiving compartment maintains the sealing member substantially centrally whilst the tap is open.

Title: Sustained release capsule with piston having hollow sleeve on back of piston for guiding spring
Inventor: HOLMES ROBERT WILLIAM LACHLAN
IPC: A61M31/00
Filed: 2010-06-10
Abstract: An intraruminal sustained release capsule is capable of delivering a sustained release dose of a first medicament to an animal, as well as either or both of a dump dose of a second medicament or mineral, and an exit dose of a third medicament or mineral. The capsule can have a dissolvable overcap moulded from plasticised starch enabling a dump dose of medicament to be held between the overcap and one end of the capsule. A piston within the body of the capsule can be modified to enable it to accommodate an exit dose of medicament within its hollow interior which is aligned with an aperture at the end of the capsule which enables release of the medicaments to the rumen. After insertion of the capsule in the animal the overcap (if present) dissolves and separates from the capsule to release the dump dose of medicament. The sustained release medicament is then dispensed via the apertured end, followed by the release of the exit dose of medicament (if present). Monopoly for this application is directed to the piston with a hollow central sleeve to assist in locating a biasing spring, while monopoly for the parent application 578771 is directed to the overcap forming a void space, with both embodiments typically usable together.

Title: Method for compensating flue gas enthalpy losses of heat-recovery coke ovens
Inventor: KIM RONALD
IPC: C10B15/02
Filed: 2010-09-29
Abstract: A method for compensating flue gas enthalpy losses of heat-recovery coke ovens is disclosed. In a plant a plurality of coke oven chambers (1) are combined into a coke oven bank (2). The coke oven bank is connected to one or more boilers (7) by means of one or more flue gas channels (6). If operation of the coke oven chambers is interrupted, to remove the coke cake, the individual coke oven chambers are kept hot during the interruption of the operation by means of at least one externally fired additional burner (3). The heat is provided by hot flue gas originating from the flue gas of the additional burners. Heat flow that is reduced in comparison to the normal operation is further compensated by at least one additional compensation burner (10), which lies outside the coke oven chambers such that the boiler(s) are supplied with a heat flow that remains the same in comparison to the normal operation. In this way, the boilers, which are typically used to produce steam, can be operated economically.
