IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2007-02-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus and associated components are described for producing a cellular tissue structure comprising a wall surrounding a space or passage. A suspension of cells is introduced into a culture vessel (70) of elongate tubular form defining an internal tissue formation surface. The vessel is rotated about a rotary axis to cause the cells in the suspension to move under the influence of centrifugal force to collect and form a layer on the tissue formation surface. The layer is then exposed to a tissue culture medium. The tissue formation surface is preferably resiliently compressive and a pulsed or other time-varying pressure is preferably applied during at least the maturation phase of formation of the cellular tissue structure.

Title: Hand-held stapler with safe actuation mechanism
Inventor: CHOU AMMY
IPC: B25C5/02
Filed: 2007-05-10
Abstract: A hand-held stapler comprises a housing 10, a driver 20, a spring means 30, a handle 40, and a safe actuation mechanism A. The safe actuation mechanism includes a swing means (42, fig 2), a link 70, and an actuation control rod 50.

Patent GB-2457437-A (GB)
Title: A modularised, monolithic build description
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2008-02-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a modularised build description or makefile. Build description modules each have an interface specification portion 10, 20, 30 that describes inputs and outputs of the module and an implementation portion (fig.2, fig. 3) containing build instructions that map the inputs to the outputs. Modules are combined to form a monolithic build description, describing the entire build process for a software system. The interface specification and implementation portions may be in different languages. The specification portion is written in a mark-up language such as XML. The implementation portion is written in a build language such as GNU make. The monolithic build description generated from the modules is in the same language as the implementation portions, meaning that the resulting code is not separated from the build description by a translation so that debugging can be performed directly within the module. The use of modules introduces considerable reusability, extensibility and testability.

Title: Method and system for propagating mutual authentication data in wireless communication networks
Inventor: METKE ANTHONY R
IPC: H04W92/18
Filed: 2007-03-20
Abstract: A method and system for propagating mutual authentication data in both a first wireless communication network and a second wireless communication network is useful for unifying wireless communication networks. The method includes mutually authenticating a first node operating in the first network and a second node operating in the second network (step 205). A unification message is then transmitted from the first node to a third node operating in the second network, where the unification message indicates that the first node is authenticated with the second network (step 210). In response to the unification message, authentication messages from the third node and the second node are then relayed though the first node, for mutually authenticating the third node and the second node (step 215).

Title: Automatic document generator using templates
Inventor: HODGES CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06F17/24
Filed: 2009-05-01
Abstract: A document template generator is provided for creating a document template, a pair of templates (200, 300) is provided with corresponding objects. A processing module (22) may compare a parameter of input data to a parameter of a dominant object in one of the paired templates (200, 300) to calculate a transformation value. A template creation module (26) transforms objects, such as text boxes in one template (200) towards the text form of objects in the second template (300) by a factor equal to the calculated transformation value. This may be done based on the fit of relative position of objects and their shape, so that a newspaper page can be laid out with photographs, articles, titles, adverts, captions, graphics, logos, borders, whitespace and with lines separating columns of texts. The templates may be used for greetings cards, brochures, business cards, invitations or adverts.

Title: Electronic mail system and method
Inventor: EVANS EUROS
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2009-10-21
Abstract: A method of handling e-mail messages and a server for performing the method are disclosed. The method comprises, receiving an e-mail message from a sender for delivery to a recipient, and delivering the message if the sender is included in a list of senders authorised for communication with the recipient. Otherwise, the method parses a destination e-mail address in the message to extract from it an authorization code and if the authorisation code is an acceptable code, adding the sender to the list of senders authorised for communication with the recipient and delivering the message. In the method, any authorisation code has a validity that is limited for a specific length of time. The method teaches the use of < user > + < authorisation code > @ < domain > type email addresses which can be parsed to check any authorisation code included in the destination email address. A further embodiment teaches a web server that serves page code for a web page that includes an email address that comprises an authorisation code, such as a HTML mailto link, wherein the page code for subsequent instances of the page that are served have different authorisation codes.

Title: Testing circuit breaker contact deterioration
Inventor: CRABTREE JOHN D
IPC: G01L1/18
Filed: 2009-11-03
Abstract: A circuit breaker tests probe 10 comprises a flexible piezo-ceramic element 18 held between upper and lower probe members 11 and 12. When the probe is inserted between circuit breaker contacts 21 and 22 the piezo-ceramic element measures the pressure applied to the probe members by the circuit breaker contacts. The pressure can be determined by monitoring the change in resistance of the piezo-ceramic element, using an ohmmeter for example, and this reading may be sent to a display device. The probe may also be provided with mutually isolated conducting contacts on the exterior surface of each member to provide an electrical connection to the circuit breaker contact pair. This allows the resistance of the circuit breaker contact pair to be measured in series and so prevents masking of high resistance of one contact that can occur if the contact resistances are measured in parallel.

The inner operative surface of the capping mechanism claimed in the parent Specification is comprised by an annular rubber or like ring 17 located between one of the movable inner parts and the outer parts so that relative movement of the parts causes compression and inward radial expansion of the ring. The capping mechanism comprises relatively movable inner parts 6 and 8, the latter having a shoulder 11 which bears on a rubber ring 13 carried by the part 6, causing the ring to expand radially and distort the closure surface into the groove 2 on the container. Part 8 is formed with a screw-threaded portion 14 carrying an adjustable ring member 15. Outer parts 16, 18 are rigidly secured to a shaft 7 and part 16 carries the rubber ring 17 which is compressed by the ring member 15. The flange 5 on the closure is turned over the rim of the carton by part 16 and is then clinched by the radial expansion of ring 17.
