Title: Mopping trolleys
Inventor: DUNCAN CHRISTOPHER ROBERT
IPC: A47L13/58
Filed: 2003-04-09
Abstract: A mopping trolley having a carriage, a mop press assembly with a discharge port, a clean receptacle for providing a source of clean liquid for mopping, and a waste receptacle for receiving waste liquid expressed from the mop press. The clean receptacle is located under the mop press so that a mop head may be dipped into the clean receptacle and lifted directly upward to the mop press, the mop head being maintained over the clean receptacle so that dripping excess fluid falls back to the clean receptacle below. In this way the amount of clean water wasted may be reduced, so that water dripping from the mop head falls back into the clean receptacle. The waste receptacle includes a portion that is positioned below the discharge port of the mop press assembly to receive waste liquid.

Title: Filtration media comprising granules of binder-agglomerated active component
Inventor: REID ROGER P
IPC: B01J20/20
Filed: 2003-03-24
Abstract: Granules comprise binder-agglomerated active particles for liquid treatment or filtration. Each granule has a center core of a material that itself has binding properties without the addition of other binders or sprays or adhesives, or, alternatively, each granule comprises a matrix of active materials stuck together with the binder. The binder structure preferably ranges from a non-uniform matrix of binder formed by heat-deformed binder particles, to a clump of binder particles generally retaining the original shape or the binder particles, to non-continuous connectors of binder between active particles. The invented two-part media has high surface area per volume of media, which, because the outer surface and inner void surfaces of the particles are preferably substantially covered with active particles, translates to high activity for the preferred treatment process. Therefore, while a mixture of active particles may be used and a mixture of binders may be use, each media granule preferably consists only of a matrix, clump, or plurality of connectors of binder coated with active particles, with preferably no support for the active component other than the binder material.

Patent AU-2004234596-A1 (AU)
Title: Electromagnetic valve actuator
Inventor: FORD GRAHAM PAUL
IPC: F01L9/22
Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator is described in which a rotor comprising permanent magnet means is rotatable in a stator which is magnetisable by causing an electric current to flow through at least one winding associated with the stator. The rotor has at least two stable rest positions, each defined by spring and/or magnetic forces acting on the rotor. Spring means stores energy during part of the movement of the rotor and provides kinetic energy for accelerating the rotor during subsequent movement thereof away from rest in one position towards another. A magnetic torque is exerted on the rotor when a current flows in said at least one winding which is sufficient to overcome the force(s) holding the rotor in that rest position, to cause the rotor to rotate in a direction from that rest position towards another a rest position. The rotor is connected to a thrust member by a mechanical linkage by which the rotational movement of the rotor is converted into substantially linear movement. The linkage has a mechanical advantage which varies in a predetermined manner during the rotation of the rotor. The actuator can be used to open and close a valve of an internal combustion engine. A power supply is provided for delivering current to the actuator from a current source so as to operate the actuator in an energy efficient manner.
