Patent GB-2553859-A (GB)
Title: Packaging system
Inventor: JONATHAN PAUL LAKER
IPC: B65D85/60
Filed: 2016-09-20
Abstract: The container has two separate compartments, a first compartment used for unused chewing gum (2, figure 1) and a second compartment 3 adapted to receive used chewing gum. This allows for the storage and isolation of used chewing gum. The container may have a tubular main body 1 with a wall creating the separation of the two compartments. These walls may be transverse, longitudinal, diagonal or a membrane. This wall maybe axially movable so as to accommodate chewed gum as it is inserted. The two compartments may be separate entities which are separable allowing for the used gum compartment to be disposed of. The separation can be achieved by the use of a tear away (figure 13) or rupturable portion 10. There is also a method of using the container disclosed, in which new gum is taken from the first compartment chewed and then placed in the compartment for used chewing gum.

Filed: 2015-11-30
Abstract: The present invention concerns the field of vacuum cleaning, and relates in particular to appliances or vacuum cleaners in which an air bleed valve may be provided which permits the suction provided at a cleaning tool nozzle or work head to be reduced. The invention provides an appliance including a vacuum suction cleaner for lifting and collecting matter from surfaces, wherein at least one air-bleed orifice is provided in a wall portion of the appliance which separates an internal region of the appliance which is subject to vacuum suction from an external region which remains at ambient pressure, the orifice providing air bypass communication between said external and internal regions so as to reduce suction at the nozzle or work head. An air-permeable porous material is disposed so as to obturate the orifice, which porous material permits the passage of bypass air through the orifice but restricts the airflow rate therethrough. The porous material is preferably an open cell foam membrane. In some embodiments the orifice is provided in a vacuum cleaner wand tube which serves as a vacuum conduit between the nozzle or work head and a vacuum cleaner body in which the suction motor is provided. A rotatable or axially sliding traveler member carries the foam membrane. In another embodiment the orifice is provided through a wall portion of a vacuum collection chamber of the vacuum cleaner, in which chamber detritus is collected.

Title: Binary search procedure for control table stored in memory system
Inventor: THOMAS CHRISTOPHER GROCUTT
IPC: G06F16/903
Filed: 2018-07-27
Abstract: A control table may be stored in a memory system and includes an entry corresponding to a query address. It comprises a plurality of entries each specifying a first limit address and either a second limit address or a size, for identifying limits of a corresponding address region of variable size within an address space. The entries are arranged in order the first limit address. A binary search procedure based on the control table comprises a plurality of search window narrowing steps for narrowing a current search window of candidate entries of the control table to a narrower search window comprising fewer candidate entries. In a given search window narrowing step, the current search window is narrowed based on a comparison of the query address against the first limit address of a selected candidate entry of the current search window, independent said one of the second limit address and the size of the selected candidate entry. Following a final search window narrowing step which narrows the current search window to a single candidate entry, the single candidate entry is determined to be the entry corresponding to the query address when the query address is within the corresponding address region.
