Title: Pairing outgoing messages with end user responses
Inventor: TANNER PETER
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2008-08-22
Abstract: A communication device 10 comprises a database 20 of records relating to messages to be sent to recipients, communication addresses for the recipients and unique identifiers. The device 10 is arranged to select a first communication address from which a first message is sent to a first communication device 40 and to select a second communication address from which a second message is sent to the first communication device unless the first communication device has responded to the first message before the second message has been sent. If a number of messages need to be sent, the database records are transferred to a message server 30 for actioning. The messages may be SMS, email or MMS. When a recipient responds to a message, the communication address to which the response is sent (ie destination) and the communication address of the recipient (ie source) enable the device 10 to correlate the received message with the originally sent message. Since the source and destination addresses of the received reply are considered, the same communication address (ie reply address) can be used for messages sent to more than one recipient. However, if more than one message is sent to the same recipient then a different reply address is associated with each message.

Filed: 2008-09-10
Abstract: A surveillance camera comprising a camera 20 and parapet 11 mounted on base 10, a memory slot 12 and at least one pair of guide slots 13 formed opposite one another on the parapet 11, the guide slots having a notch 132, the guide slots 13 and notch 132 co-operating with guide protrusions 31 on the inner surface of a cover 30 which fits over the parapet 11 and camera 20. The guide slots may have a parabolic portion. There may be two pairs of guide slots 13 and corresponding guide protrusions 31. The notch 132 may be lower than the memory slot 12 and have a vertical wall 132a such that when the cover is rotated or twisted, the guide protrusions 31 drop into the notch and are stopped by the vertical wall 132a, so that the cover 30 is still attached but the memory slot 12 is accessible. To remove the cover completely the cover must then be pressed upwards to move past the wall 132a. This makes accessing the memory slot easier, as it can be done one-handed, without adding any extra parts to the cover.

Abstract: A particulate or granular catalyst material containing a reducible iron compound and difficultly volatilizable carbonaceous material comprising free carbon is activated-or in the case of a spent catalyst reactivated-by heating at 500 DEG C. or above, but below the temperature at which the particles or granules sinter together so that they retain their initial size distribution, and for a period of time adequate to achieve reduction the carbonaceous material being in intimate dispersion with the catalyst material.  The term "free carbon" is used to denote oxidizable material having a high carbon content, which is insoluble or almost insoluble in organic solvents. Compounds which may be present in the catalyst are Fe3 O4 and in smaller amounts FeC, Fe3C, FeO and Fe2O3; it is assured that the following are formed in the process: Fe3C, FeO and Fe.  The process may be carried out in a fixed or fluidized bed or under streaming fluidized conditions, and the catalyst may be impregnated with alcoholic KOH prior to the heat treatment.

Title: Improvements relating to control of hydraulic power means
IPC: B66B1/04
Filed: 1947-04-18
Abstract: 623,137. Hydraulic control systems. ALDOUS & CAMPBELL, Ltd., and MEERING, L. H. April 18, 1947, No. 10399. [Class 69 (ii)] A control system for hydraulic power means, such as a hydraulically-operated lift, comprises for the operation of a control valve of the power means a servo-cylinder containing two separate pistons, one of which is connected to a piston of the control valve, twin pilot valves through which the servo-cylinder is connected with the hydraulic pressure main and with exhaust respectively and switch-actuated electromagnets for opening and closing the pilot valves. The invention is described as applied to a hydraulic lift of the general character disclosed in Specification 513,542. The electric motor 14, worm 15, clutch 13, crank 6, sprockets 8, 9, 11, 19 and 20 and limit switch 17 shown in this Specification are eliminated and the hydraulic system shown in the Figure is used in their place. The sliding piston of a main control valve I is operated from a servo-cylinder L containing two pistons M, J, one of which, M, is connected to a piston-rod A of the main valve. When a call button is pressed to call the lift in an upward direction, an electromagnet B of an up pilot valve U is energized so that a middle chamber of the servo-cylinder L is opened to a pressure main P by operation of valves V. The piston M is then moved to shift the piston valve of the main valve I so as to admit pressure to a pipe 13 leading to a lifting cylinder whose ram moves until a floor selector (not shown) opens the circuit of the electromagnet B. When a further call button is pressed to call the lift in a downward direction, an electromagnet B of a down pilot valve D is energized so that the valve D connects an end chamber G of the servo-cylinder to exhaust. The piston valve of the main control valve I is thus moved to the right into a position in which the pipe 13 is connected to exhaust. The ram then moves down until the floor selector again opens the circuit. Exact levelling at each floor can be effected by ramps operating a twin levelling switch through a byepass valve means K connected to the svstem in the manner disclosed in the above-mentioned Specification.

Abstract: 1288168 Treating tobacco SERVICE D EXPLOITATION INDUSTRIELLE DES TABACS ET DES ALLUMETTES 4 March 1970 [6 March 1969] 10407/70 Heading A2C A process for the removal of alkaloids, e.g. nicotine, from tobacco, which may be in shredded form or in bales &c., comprises subjecting the tobacco to ammonia in the vapour state and subsequently to water vapour, the tobacco being subjected to an industrial vacuum during at least a part of the process. An industrial vacuum, as distinct from a high vacuum, is defined as one obtainable by industrial apparatus such as a vacuum pump with oil-lubricated vanes. In an example, tobacco is introduced into a chamber in which the pressure is firstly reduced to 20 mm. mercury, after which water vapour is introduced allowing the pressure to rise to a value of 300 mm. mercury (at 75‹C) which is maintained for 5 minutes, whereupon the pressure is reduced to 60 mm. mercury. Gaseous ammonia is then admitted for 15 minutes until the pressure rises to 400 mm. mercury and this condition maintained for 60 minutes, after which the pressure is reduced to 30 mm. mercury. After a 5 minute period of rinsing with water vapour during which the pressure rises to 300 mm. mercury the process is completed by reduction of pressure to 20 mm. mercury before admission of air to establish atmospheric pressure.
