Patent GB-2415763-A (GB)
Title: A dispenser tap
Inventor: HANSSON GUY ROBERT
IPC: B67D1/14
Filed: 2004-07-02
Abstract: A dispenser for delivering beverages (e.g. beer) including a main body (20), an inlet (21), an outlet (22) and a piston stop valve (23). In use, the piston moves from a first closed position (A) to a second position (B) where fluid is permitted only through a restricted aperture (31) provided in a collar (27) that extends around the piston. The restricted flow path causes turbulence and hence foam formation on the beverage. In a third position (C), flow is completely open from the inlet to the outlet. A separate invention further includes a dispenser with integral or attached restriction means.

Title: Thin film magnetic head including NiPRe alloy gap layer
Inventor: YAZAWA HISAYUKI
IPC: H01F10/30
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: It is an object to provide a thin film magnetic head capable of improving characteristics and properties required of a gap layer by, in particular, appropriately controlling the compositional ratio of a NiPRe alloy used as the gap layer. The NiPRe alloy which has excellent chemical agent resistance, which maintains excellently a non-magnetic state even when heated at a high temperature, and which can suppress the element diffusion at the interface to a magnetic pole layer can be formed through plating by controlling the compositional ratio of the NiPRe alloy used as the gap layer at within the range enclosed by boundary lines A to E in a ternary diagram.

Title: Two-part template matching ECG monitor
Inventor: MILLER ROBIN
IPC: A61B5/352
Filed: 2005-09-27
Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring an ECG comprises a first body wearable part 1 which receives ECG signals from ECG measurement electrodes 3a, 3b, and a second base station part 4. The first part 1 includes a wireless transceiver, a memory storing signal templates, and a processor. The processor segments the received ECG signal, and compares the segments with the templates stored in the memory. The resulting ECG data is transmitted to the base station 4 which comprises a wireless transceiver and a processor to generate and/or modify the signal templates and transmit the generated and/or modified templates back to the first part. Thus, detection and classification of new beat shapes (i.e. beats that do not match any of the wearable part's stored templates) occurs in the base station 4, and any new templates generated by the base station 4 are transmitted back to the wearable device 1. This reduces the power consumption in the wearable device 1. The base station may also transfer recorded ECG data to a central database 5. The apparatus may be used to monitor other biopotentials (e.g. EEG) or non-physiological conditions. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
