Patent GB-2454682-A (GB)
Title: Bait
Inventor: PARBERY ALLAN MARTIN
IPC: A01K97/04
Filed: 2007-11-14
Abstract: A bait pellet 1 comprises a core (2, fig 1) of feed material edible by fish, surrounded by an outer layer (3, fig 1) comprising the same feed material and a significant concentration of glycerine. The core typically comprises a mixture of fishmeal and vegetable matter impregnated with a blend of water and glycerine until it has a density slightly less than that of water. The outer layer contains sufficient glycerine that the overall density of the pellet is greater than that of water. It may also contain fish attractants and colourants. When cast into a body of water 5, the pellet sinks towards the bed 6. As the glycerine diffuses out of the outer layer into the water, the overall density of the pellet drops until it is less than that of water, and the pellet rises towards the surface 4 of the water. This simulates natural prey of the fish, and a fisherman's baited hook cast into a stream 7 of rising pellets is more likely to be taken by the fish.

Title: Integration of video information
Inventor: CROCKFORD CHRISTOPHER NEIL JOHN
IPC: H04N5/272
Filed: 2008-02-22
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of integrating video information from a plurality of different video sources into a visualisation environment that may be conveniently displayed on a video device 11. The video sources comprise a first source 13, often cartographic in nature, which is representative of a background 14,19 for the visualization environment, and a plurality of second sources 5,6,7,8 each of which is a video feed of a camera's field of view from a viewpoint within the background. These second sources include spatial data for the field of view. The plurality of video feeds from the second sources are integrated with the background from the first source so that the visualisation environment comprises each of the fields of view 15, 16, 17, 18 displayed at an appropriate position and direction in relation to the concurrently displayed background. A viewer's notional reference point, ie the viewer's viewpoint within the visualisation environment, can be altered relative to the background thus altering the view as shown on the display device and the display of the video feeds within that background.

Title: Powered mobile storage system with select and drag operation and selectable aisle width feature
Inventor: TOURDOT MATTHEW A
IPC: A47B53/02
Filed: 2006-03-03
Abstract: The present invention is a mobile storage system that includes a number of mobile storage units 14-22 movably disposed with respect to one another and including a logic system. A signal from a motion control actuator 34a on a mobile storage unit which is to move where an aisle is desired directs a run signal to at least one unit to cause one or multiple units to be driven successively away from a desired aisle. If multiple units are moved together, a motion control actuator on the unit adjacent the closing aisle is operated to move the actuated unit and the other units. The logic system remembers and maintains each new open aisle width and closed aisle width after the termination of a particular movement.

Title: Adjusting sensor preload by varying the rotational position of a threaded base and lid enclosing a saw sensor
Inventor: KALININ VICTOR ALEXANDROVICH
IPC: G01L1/16
Filed: 2008-07-25
Abstract: A SAW-based sensor suitable for working at high pressures comprises a threaded base and lid (Fig. 2A 11, 13) which screw together to form an internal cavity. A substrate 14 is supported in the cavity on either the base or lid, optionally on a pair of radially spaced-apart ledges. A protrusion (dimple) (Fig. 2C 16), formed (and preferably centered) on the opposing part, extends towards the substrate so as to engage against it, thus applying a preload that is adjustable by varying the rotational position of the lid relative to the base. The lid and base may be permanently secured together once the desired preload is achieved, optionally by welding or adhesive. The base is preferably a blind cylinder with its closure - supporting the dimple - being optionally thinner in a central region and acting as a pressure-responsive diaphragm. The other end of the blind bore may be screwed into a vessel whose pressure is to be monitored.

Abstract: 1,204,254. Refining copper. ANACONDA CO. March 4, 1968, No.10282/68. Heading C7D. Molten copper containing copper oxide is deoxidized by (a) introducing under pressure a poling fluid below the surface of the molten copper, said fluid containing a poling fuel which forms carbon monoxide and hydrogen upon contact with the copper to reduce copper oxide to copper, and (b) simultaneously maintaining above the molten copper a reducing atmosphere containing water vapour, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, the molar ratios of water vapour to hydrogen and carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide being in equilibrium with the deoxidized copper at least at the conclusion of the operation. Suitable poling fuels are natural gas, diesel oil, and pulverized coal and coke. Solid and liquid fuels are introduced by pre-blending with a carrier gas e.g. an inert gas, steam or an active gas such as natural gas.
