Inventor: HOFMANN MARTIN
IPC: F26B3/06
Filed: 2005-05-09
Abstract: Prior to spectrometric investigation by solid phase extraction (SPE), a plurality of samples concentrated in cartridges 5 positioned in a carrier 4 are dried together of a solvent by dividing a flow of heated gas e.g. nitrogen into gas flows, passing each flow through a resistance (14, fig 3) which is greater than the flow resistance of the cartridge, and then passing each flow through a cartridge. The flow is divided in a manifold or pre-chamber 6, and an elastic sealing plate 8 and the carrier 4 have passages to allow gas flow. The carrier 4 is loaded into a drying chamber 2, and lifted into an upper position in which the cartridges abut the sealing plate 8 to form a gas-tight seal.

Title: Fluid level sensing and fluid detection using a temperature dependent resistive sensor
Inventor: DAVIS ANDREW CERI
IPC: G01F23/24
Filed: 2005-08-17
Abstract: Apparatus for sensing the presence of a fluid, which may be used as an aircraft low fuel sensing system, comprises a sensor 1, such as a thermistor mounted in a tank 2, and having a resistance dependent upon temperature. A current source 5 is alternately connected and disconnected from the sensor 1 so that it cycles between warming and cooling phases.

Title: Method of moving a moveable barrier comprising first and second controllers utilising history of barrier travels
Inventor: KELKHOFF BARBARA P
IPC: H02H7/085
Filed: 2004-05-28
Abstract: A method for use by a moveable barrier comprises supplying first and second controllers, each of which is supplied with travel limit information. The first controller is used to move the barrier from a first limit position to a second limit position. A history of previous barrier travels is maintained by the second controller and compared to travel data of the current travel. The second controller acts as a safety device in that when differences in observed travel behaviour compared to stored travel behaviour occur, the second controller overrides the first controller. The barrier position may be determined by observing the number of revolutions of a motor in a given time period.

Patent GB-2427163-A (GB)
Title: Methods of drilling through-holes in homogeneous and non-homogeneous substrates
Inventor: DAVIGNON JOHN J
IPC: B23K26/40
Filed: 2004-04-19
Abstract: A differential diameter hole drilling method by which through-holes (14) having improved major surface quality are formed in a target material (8) involves drilling a pilot hole (10) having a diameter that is less than the desired diameter of the through-hole and then drilling a through-hole having the desired diameter. The pilot hole forms a channel from which thermal energy produced during laser drilling can diffuse into the environment, thereby reducing the amount of thermal energy diffusing into the surrounding target material matrix and the degree of thermal damage to the heat affected zone of the target material matrix. The pilot hole also forms a channel through which ablated target material may be removed, thereby increasing overall through-hole throughput. Pilot hole formation reduces the thermal energy required to form the remaining portion of the through-hole and thereby results in less thermal damage to the surrounding target material matrix.
