Title: A hand washing station
Inventor: YOUNG PAUL ANTHONY
IPC: A47K1/02
Filed: 2005-02-22
Abstract: A hand washing station that allows the user to wash their hands without touching the station the station also prevents water splash.

Title: Vertical axis wind turbine
Inventor: KHAN ASIF ALI BAGAL
IPC: F03D3/00
Filed: 2005-04-20
Abstract: A vertical axis wind turbine has a water-paddle-wheel type rotor 1. The turbine may drive an oil pump (15, figure 5) which pumps oil to drive a turbine (27, figure 8) which in turn drives an electric generator (28, figure 8). When more electricity than required is generated, the excess electricity can be used to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water by hydrolysis. The hydrogen can be stored and, at times when the wind turbine generates less electricity than is required, can be used to power a combustion engine which drives a separate generator (27, figure 8) to supplement the electricity generated by the wind turbine generator (27). The turbine rotor blades may have a feathering capability to prevent over-speed.

Title: Sense amplifying latch with low swing feedback
Inventor: SUTHERLAND IVAN E
IPC: H01L23/48
Filed: 2004-04-02
Abstract: A system is presented for latching and amplifying a capacitively coupled inter-chip communication signal that operates by receiving an input signal on a capacitive receiver pad and feeding the input signal through an inverter to produce an output signal. The output signal is fed back through a weakened inverter to produce a feedback signal that is fed into an input of the inverter to form a latch for the input signal. The weakened inverter is biased to produce a feedback signal that swings between a high bias voltage, VH, and a low bias voltage, VL. VH is set slightly higher than the switching threshold of the inverter, and VL is set slightly lower than the switching threshold. This feedback signal causes the input signal to reside within a narrow voltage range near the switching threshold of the inverter, making the inverter sensitive to small transitions in the input signal.
