Abstract: An antenna apparatus or antenna operating methods comprise tuning an antenna 200 to a first resonant frequency using a first electrical load 204a and a first frequency selective component 206a, 208a and tuning the antenna 200 to a second resonant frequency using a second electrical load 204b and a second frequency selective component 206b, 208b, wherein the antenna 200 is tuned to operate at the first and second resonant frequencies simultaneously. The frequency selective component 206, 208 may be one or more fixed or variable filters, isolators, circulators, couplers or switches. One or more feed points 202a, 202b and/or frequency selective components 206, 208 may be located at either end or both ends of the antenna 200 whilst the electrical loads 204 are located at the opposite end to that of the respective feed point 202 associated with that load 204. Tuning of the antenna 200 to further frequencies may be achieved by the addition of further respective electrical loads and frequency selective components. Manual or computer control of the tuning associated with the antenna may be used. Computer program products may be used in a computer to execute the antenna tuning operating method.

Title: Panel mounting system
Inventor: SEYMOUR JONATHAN
IPC: E04D3/36
Filed: 2011-02-03
Abstract: A panel mounting system for mounting a panel (particularly a solar panel) to a structure. A load element connects a panel retainer to the roof structure and plastically deforms to a deformed configuration upon application of a predetermined threshold load to the load element. The load element typically has a cranked initial condition and elongates during plastic deformation. The mounting system prevents roof damage due to wind loading on the panels.

Title: Retractable multi-outlet socket box
Inventor: MAZZULO RAYMOND
IPC: H01R13/447
Filed: 2013-05-28
Abstract: A socket box 10 intended for mounting in a hole in a working surface (or a wall, floor, etc.) includes a plurality of sockets 16, 18, 96 (e.g. power and/or data sockets) mounted in oppositely-directed, inclined flanks of a socket support structure 14. A casing 12 contains the support structure 14 while a two-part cover 88 conceals the support structure 14 when closed and permits access to the sockets 16, 18, 96 when open. Each part of the cover 88 includes plural hinged slats 90 which pass along guides in the casing 12 when the cover 88 is opened and closed. The socket support structure 14 is capable of moving from a retracted, inoperative position within the casing 12 (as shown in figure 9) to an extended, operative position where it protrudes through an opening in the casing 12 (as shown in figure 1). A releasable locking means (e.g. a press-to-engage/press-to-release type) locks the support structure 14 in its retracted position and a manual-release latch structure prevents the support structure 14 from moving from its operative position to its inoperative position until the latching means is manually released.

Title: Oilseed crushing heat recovery process
Inventor: SCHRIECK VINCENT VAN DEN
IPC: C11B1/04
Filed: 2012-08-09
Abstract: An oilseed crushing process wherein the oilseeds are preheated to generate warm, soft oilseeds, then flakes are generated by flaking the warm, soft oilseeds. The flakes are then cooked by generating a hot vapour stream and hot flakes. The hot flakes are then prepressed to generate oil and a partially de-oiled cake. The partially de-oiled cake is solvent extracted to generate solvent laden oil and solvent laden meal. The hot, wet meal is then dried to generate oilseed meal and an additional hot vapour stream. The at least part of the preheating step to generate warm, soft oilseeds is accomplished using a hot liquid medium. The hot liquid medium is heated by a heat transfer mechanism that condenses at least one of the hot vapour streams generated during the flake-cooking step or the meal-drying step.

Title: Locking device, telescopic rod and mower including the locking device
Inventor: NIE FANGJIE
IPC: F16B7/14
Filed: 2014-10-20
Abstract: A locking device includes an operating lever 12, a base 10 and a repulsion generating member 13, wherein the operating arm has a releasing position and a locking position relative to the base, and the resilient member is arranged between the base and the operating lever and generates a repulsion force for application to the operating lever during movement from the releasing position to the locking position to bias the lever. The locking device may be mounted to telescopic rods 21 & 22 and may also comprise a locking reinforcement member (12b, fig.5) that inserts into holes 22c in the expanding tubes. When the operating lever does not completely reach the locking position, because the inner and outer tube apertures are not aligned and therefore the reinforcement locking member cannot be inserted through them, the spring will cause the operating lever to return to the releasing position thereby providing indication to the user that the lock is not closed in order to avoid user confusion or incorrect operation.

Title: Hard disk drive actuator assembly with interleaved voice coil motor
Inventor: UEFUNE KOUKI
IPC: G11B5/55
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: A rotary actuator assembly configured for use in a hard disk drive (HDD) includes a head slider 302, a flexure 304, voice coil 318 interleaved between a pivot bearing 316 and an actuator arm 306. The position of the voice coil provides a longer pivot-to-head dimension PL3 which reduces the radius of curvature of the arc in which the head slider travels over the disk for accessing portions of the disk. Reducing the arc radius of curvature reduces the maximum skew angles of the read-write head in association with the disk tracks. The width of the actuator arm can be widened to provide improved operating characteristics even in view of the longer pivot-to-head dimension. The distance between the pivot and a read/write head may be greater than 50 mm or 75-85 mm. The voice coil may have a wide portion and a narrow portion where the wide portion is toward the distal end of the actuating portion.

Filed: 2015-01-30
Abstract: A communication system for Dual Connectivity (inter-site carrier aggregation) is described in which a communication apparatus (Master eNB, MeNB) 5-1 is configured to provide a first communication path to a user communication device 3 using a first radio resource (licensed spectrum) F1 and another communication apparatus (Secondary eNB, SeNB) 5-2 provides a second communication path to the user communication device using a second radio resource (unlicensed spectrum, e.g. LTE-U) F2, different from the first radio resource. The communication apparatus controls flow of user data via the split communication paths based on information (comprising buffer size information) received from the other communication apparatus indicating availability of the second radio resource for transmission of the user data. Buffer size information relates to at least one of a buffer size for a communication bearer and a buffer size for the user communication device. Received availability information comprises at least one of: a channel status based on a quality measurement of the second radio resource; an estimated time of next availability of the second radio resource for said transmission of said user data; and an estimate of a probability of the second radio resource being available for said transmission of user data.

Title: Confirmation using multiple collision cross section ("CCS") Measurements
Inventor: GILES KEVIN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2015-03-10
Abstract: A drift time, ion mobility or collision cross section measurement is performed on analyte ions and compared to a corresponding measurement obtained after treating the analyte ions to modify their chemical properties is performed. The change in the drift time etc measured is used to increase the specificity of analyte identification. The analyte ions may be treated by exposing the analyte ions to a dopant (eg acetone) added to a neutral buffer gas (eg nitrogen) present for the first measurement. Alternatively, the analyte ions may be treated by methods including RF heating, microwave heating, laser irradiaition and other heating or photo-activation methods. Modifications of precursor or parent ions to product or daughter fragment ions can also be used. Multiple measurements may be conducted in parallel or serially (see figure 4).
