Title: Testing an ODS burner
Inventor: BROWN DENNIS NORMAN
IPC: F23N5/24
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: A method of testing the operation of an ODS burner assembly in a gas fired appliance comprising measuring the general oxygen depletion level of the air in a vitiation enclosure at which the assembly operates to switch off the appliance at a desired safety level during vitiation testing, effecting a supplementary measurement of the oxygen depletion level at the combustion air inlet of the assembly at the switch-off point, preparing a field test air mixture in which the oxygen depletion is greater than the level measured at said air inlet during vitiation testing by a predetermined safety factor, introducing an air composition according to the field test mixture into a sealed transportable container, and subsequently in situ testing the operation of an ODS burner assembly on a corresponding appliance by introducing the field test mixture directly through the combustion air inlet of the assembly at a pressure corresponding substantially to ambient atmospheric pressure, and checking the assembly operates to switch off the appliance.

Title: A cover screen support
Inventor: ADAMJEE ADIL
IPC: G06F1/16
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: It is now common place to attach a cover screen over the front of, for example, a VDU which cover screen may, for example, be a mesh glass or plastics. The cover screen serves to reduce glare, static and emissions. The cover screen is supported in a perimeter frame which is then positioned over the front of a VDU screen. The production of a cover screen support which will fit a number of differently sized or shaped appliances is therefore desirable. Accordingly there is provided a cover screen support 10 comprising a perimeter frame 14 which supports a cover screen 12, the perimeter frame further comprising a top plate 16 and two side plates 18,20 which when the cover screen support is in use extend over respective top and side panels of an appliance and resiliant means 26 enabling the cover screen to be moved horizontally with respect to the appliance for accurate location relative thereto. An earthing wire 38 is provided.
Patent GB-2323399-A (GB)
Title: Valve operating mechanism
Inventor: PATEL DINESH R
IPC: E21B34/10
Filed: 1998-03-19
Abstract: An apparatus and method for operating a valve (18a, figure 2) positioned in a wellbore (12, figure 1) comprises a fluid-actuated piston operably coupled to the valve and a counter section 200. The piston is movable from a first position to a second position by a predetermined pressure applied from fluid in the tubing string (8, figure 1). Fluid in the tubing string can be communicated through the bore 108 to the fluid chamber 128, which applies an upward pressure on a power mandrel 122. A sealed gas chamber 110 defines a reference pressure and when the fluid pressure exceeds the gas pressure, the power mandrel moves up along with an operator mandrel 114. When fluid is bled from the tubing string, the pressure drops and the power mandrel 122 is pushed back down. Each up and down movement of the power mandrel makes up a cycle. After a predetermined number of cycles, the counter section is activated to allow the bottom of the power mandrel to contact the top part of a latch mandrel (176, figure 2) allowing the valve to open.

The mask also includes a flexible respiratory tube having a gently curved tubular body of sufficient size to permit passage of endo-tracheal tubes, and related medical instruments, and a distal end passing through and secured to the proximal edge of the annular toroid peripheral portion. The distal end of the tube terminates at a distal lumen within the recessed front of the inflatable positioning shield such that tubes and instruments passing through the flexible respiratory tube will be directed into the laryngeal opening.
Patent GB-2321484-A (GB)
Title: Purging means for purging upwards in ring spacing between drill pipe and bore hole wall
Inventor: HOVDEN MAGNE
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 1996-10-15
Abstract: A two-way repeatable flushing device, comprising a flushing member (20) for flushing upwards into the annular space between drill pipe and bore hole wall (or lining pipe). The flushing is ensured by means of a remotely controlled valve and a balanced pressure control by associated valve parts (21, 23) by means of pressure liquid. Thereby there can be ensured a controlled distribution of the flow downwards and upwards respectively, and the hydraulic conditions can thereby be improved by hole cleaning during the drilling operation itself. The solution is particularly of interest for use in particularly complicated, long-range wells having significant paths in a horizontal direction. For these types of wells it has been very difficult traditionally to achieve a satisfactory hole cleaning by means of the flow of liquid in the annular space. The flushing member will ensure a satisfactory hole cleaning as a consequence of improved hydraulic conditions in the annular space. With this a significant profit can be obtained related to both economy, quality and reliability.

Title: A bolus containing an oily substance such as Vitamin E for ruminant animals
Inventor: PORTER WILLIAM LESLIE
IPC: A61K9/00
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: A bolus for ore administration to a ruminant animal comprises a resin matrix such as rosin in which is incorporated at least one oily substance, typically vitamin E, in combination with an emulsifier, such as sorbitan mono-oleate. The oily substance and the emulsifier leach out from the bolus as it resides in the rumen and form an emulsion with the water present therein. This emulsion is then absorbed by the animals biological system. The addition of an emulsifier may make the bolus pliable and this may be prevented by adding a stiffening material such as beeswax. Alternatively, the bolus may be partly encased in a metal, rubber, or wax material.

Title: Device for dosing fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion engine
Inventor: ACHLEITNER ERWIN
IPC: F02D7/02
Filed: 1999-09-20
Abstract: A device for dosing fuel comprises a fuel supply device, an injection valve (13), a mixing chamber (14), an air supply device, a mixture injector (15) and a device for adjusting the air pressure in the air supply device as a function of a fuel pressure in the fuel supply device. The mixing chamber is connected to the air supply device. The injection valve (13) is arranged on the mixing chamber in such a way that the fuel is dosed into the mixing chamber. The mixture injector (15) communicates with the mixing chamber (14) and is arranged in the cylinder head (10) of the internal combustion engine in such a way that it doses the mixture in the mixing chamber (14) into the cylinder (4). The adjustment of air pressure means that it is possible to dispense with a return line to the fuel tank; thus no heated fuel flows back to the tank, causing evaporation.

In use fluid flows from the reservoir through the filter housing under the action of gravity.
Patent GB-992884-A (GB)
IPC: H04L27/10
Abstract: 992,884. Automatic exchange systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Sept. 6, 1963 [Sept. 10, 1962], No. 35296/63. Heading H4K. In order to send digital information from a mobile station over a 2-way link, e.g. a radiolink, to a central office, a push-button 15 is depressed to send a signal of frequency f2 by way of a gate 20, and the receipt of this frequency at the central office opens a gate 36 to allow the return of a low frequency f3 to step a counter 11 at the mobile station one step per cycle concurrently with a counter 39 at the central office until the former reaches a position marked by the depressed push-button. The frequency f2 is now cut off, and the opening of a gate 24 allows the stepping of a register 25 by the frequency f3 in addition to the counters 11, 39. When the counter 11 reaches normal, the frequency f2 is sent again, opening a gate 31, provided the counter 39 is also at normal, and stopping the register 25. The selected digit is thus stored in complementary form in the register 25 and is available for retransmission, for example, by means of a multivibrator. But if the counter 39 is not at normal on account of lack of synchronism, a gate 37 opens to restore the central office equipment. The sequence of operations is then repeated.
