Title: Container with controlled-release mechanism and removable applicator
Inventor: ASPLAND KELLI
IPC: A45D40/26
Filed: 2012-09-26
Abstract: A squeezable container 8 has a cover 9, which may be shell-shaped, and is arranged to sit over the outside of the container 8. On the inside of the cover 9, tube shaped protrusions 10 are arranged to transmit pressure to the container 8 when the cover 9 is squeezed. As the two sides of the shell come together and touch the user cannot continue to apply pressure to the container, and so a limit is placed on the amount squeezed out with each press. A removable applicator head 2 is also provided on the container 8. Within the applicator head there is a replaceable durable material 2, such as a sponge, that slides into place using runners (5).

Title: Maintaining integrity of output of code generators
Inventor: MADDISON BOB
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2012-10-23
Abstract: A system 100 for maintaining integrity of the output of code generators 100 includes a generated output recognition component 123 for determining generated output 102 which has been generated by a specific code generation application 110 based on an original model 101. An inferred model generating component 124 analyzes the generated output to infer contents of an inferred version 103 of the original model. A comparing component 125 compares the inferred version of the original model with a current version 104 of the original model to detect differences in source elements. A clean-up component 126 uses detected differences to identify redundant elements in the generated output and may archive and/or delete now redundant components of generated output 102 to provide cleaned generated output 105. Generated output may be determined by inputting files or content of a file system and reverse engineering applying customised rules based on the original model to identify generated output. Analyzing the generated output to infer contents of an inferred version of the original model may include reverse engineering the generated output applying customised rules based on the original model.

Title: A mounting system for a vehicle control module comprising impact force absorption mechanisms
Inventor: CLARK TODD N
IPC: B60R16/023
Filed: 2013-01-30
Abstract: A mounting system for a control module 55 in a vehicle comprises a housing with a flange 170, 172 formed with an opening 190, 192 adapted to receive a fastener for securing the housing to the vehicle. In the event of a collision a crack initiator 201-204 causes a crack to occur in the flange or the housing (figure 5) and thus enables relative movement between the flange and housing and reduces bending of the housing. Preferably, an attachment bolt (196, figure 2) extends through the opening into the vehicle and the flange forms a C-shape (190) around the opening to allow lateral forces during the side impact collision to force the attachment bolt to slide out of the opening. Preferably, electronic components in the module include an event data recorder for recording data about the vehicle collision and relaying the data after the collision, a communications system for calling for assistance and a controller for cutting off the vehicle fuel supply. An alternative mounting system with C-shape openings and no crack initiator is also discussed.

Title: Producing a lock and matching key
Inventor: HUTCHISON GORDON DOUGLAS
IPC: E05B19/00
Filed: 2014-05-22
Abstract: A method and system for producing a customised lock and matching key in which a user enters a personally selected alphanumeric input, such as a password or passphrase, or other personally memorable data, to an input processor. The alphanumeric input is converted by a deterministic transformation function/algorithm, such as a hashing function, to an alphanumeric output which corresponds to a key cutting code. A manufacturing apparatus makes a lock and key corresponding to this personally selected code. The invention also provides a method and system for reproducing a key. When the same personally selected alphanumeric code input is entered by the user/customer, the deterministic transformation function outputs the same key cutting code which is used to make a duplicate key. The duplicate key may be made by a 3D printer and the deterministic transformation function may be part of a network-provided service. The invention provides for key reproduction without the need to store a key cutting code, instead the key code is based on user selected memorable data.

Title: Hydrostatic transmission method for controlling the hydrostatic transmission
Inventor: HAGEMANN BENJAMIN
IPC: F16H61/475
Filed: 2015-03-06
Abstract: A hydrostatic transmission for regulating an output power from a natural energy source such as wind or wave power has at least two hydrostatic actuators (pumps) 8, 10 on the input side, driven by the input power, and at least two hydrostatic actuators (motors) 12, 14 on the output side, whose outputs are connected together e.g. to drive a generator. Each pump 8, 10 is connected in a separate hydraulic circuit with a respective motor 12, 14. At least one of the circuits has a capacity which can impose a working pressure on the circuit (i.e. an accumulator) 22. The circuit without the accumulator may be controlled to transmit the input power minus a predetermined offset. The circuit with an accumulator and hence a relatively constant pressure may be controlled to transmit the difference between the target output power and the power transmitted by the first circuit. Output power delivery is therefore smoothed at a very early stage in the power conversion process.

Abstract: A system is (100) arranged to control the supply of energy to a utility grid from at least two energy generators (102a, 102b, 102c, 102d), each generating energy from an energy source (103a, 103b, 103c, 103d). A server (108) is arranged to receive input from a user, the input comprising an energy source parameter defining a proportion of the total energy to be supplied to that user which is required from each of the energy generators (102a, 102b, 102c, 102d) or each of the energy sources (103a, 103b, 103c, 103d). The system then creates energy generation data according to the energy source parameter and an energy usage parameter relating to the amount of energy used by the user, and transmits the energy generation data to each of the energy generators (102a, 102b, 102c, 102d) to control the generation of energy. The system allows a user to select a proportion of energy from renewable sources and non-renewable sources. A user interface may include selectors in the form of sliders, drop down boxes, text boxes, or dials, on an interactive display.
