Title: Swimming headwear for long hair
Inventor: ASOGBON GLADYS
IPC: A42B1/12
Filed: 2010-12-13
Abstract: A triangular flexible sheet suitable for forming swimming headwear for users having long hair is disclosed. The sheet has a high friction surface, which means it may be tied around a user's head and hair, and remain stably in place until untied. To further enhance stability, the sheet has a non- wettable surface, which means that it is not lubricated by contact with water and friction between tied surfaces is not reduced. The sheet is waterproof and comprises a durable material, and preferably comprises silicone rubber. A method for tying the sheet around a user's head and hair prior to swimming is also disclosed.

IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2013-11-22
Abstract: Receiving operating system environment settings via a network and storing them to a storage device then establishing an operating system environment according to those stored operating system environment settings. Information is received via the network instructing the established operating system environment and, in response to the instructions information generated at least in part by the established operating system environment is transmitted via the network. This may be used to create a cloud instance of a users desktop that uses the users personality, settings and data such as installed apps, user data and user profile settings to generate a remotely established operating system environment so the user can continue to use their desktop image without requiring a complete restore if the original drive location fails.

Title: Device allowing improved reaction monitoring of gas phase reactions in mass spectrometers using an auto ejection ion trap
Inventor: BROWN JEFFERY MARK
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2014-02-18
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises providing a collision or reaction cell (e.g. RF quadrupole ion guide or ion trap) and causing precursor ions to collide, react, dissociate or fragment so as to form product or daughter ions. A broadband excitation with frequency notches is applied to the collision or reaction cell to eject the product ions from the collision or reaction region, and a device is arranged to determine the times when the fragment or product ions are ejected. Different precursor ions (A, B) may react with reagent ion C or fragment to give different product ions (D, E) which are preferably generated and ejected at different times. The missing notch frequencies may be around the secular frequencies of the precursor ions (A, B) and reagent ions (C) to trap the precursor and reagent ions. The invention allows different precursor ions (A, B) to be differentiated based on their reaction times.

Title: Observation device
Inventor: IWAI HIDENAO
IPC: G01B11/00
Filed: 2012-11-01
Abstract: An observation device (1) is provided with a light source section (10), a detection section (50) and an arithmetic operation section (60). The light source section (10) shines light onto a moving object from multiple directions. For a first-direction position and a second-direction position, at multiple times, the detection section (50) outputs time variance data for a frequency (Ïd) that corresponds to an amount of Doppler shift of light that has arrived at multiple positions on a specified plane, said light being positioned on the specified plane such that among scattered light, scattered light having the same scattering angle (Î¸') enters at the same position. For data having the first-direction position in the specified plane, the second-direction position in the specified plane, and the time as variables, the arithmetic operation section (60) performs a one-dimensional Fourier transform on the time variable, and from the Fourier-transformed data, extracts data having the same angle of incidence (Î¸0) relative to the object, on the basis of the Doppler effect.

Title: Reservation system and method therefor
Inventor: GODBER DANIEL THOMAS
IPC: G06Q10/02
Filed: 2014-12-01
Abstract: A reservation system 200 comprises a communication means 201 for receiving an availability request for a product or service; sending first ordered list element data which may include a unique identifier or may represent a distribution of a plurality of different products or services within a map; and receiving a reservation request for one of the plurality of different products or services. The unique identifier is associated with each element so that the element can be styled or accessed by the script. A seat map is made by associating the first ordered list element with a plurality of different seats distributed within the map, styling and availability data associated with each ordered list is sent and a viewing area pixel size is determined by querying the display device. Style sheet data may hide bullet points or a numbered list and an anchor tag may be styled by removing an underline, including a border, rounding the edges and changing a background colour. Using an ordered list means seat maps are more easily scaled to different devices, simpler script is used and the system avoids the need to use multiple sites or download an application.
