Title: An Airless, Fluid dispensing assembly and system
Inventor: TINASHE ALLEN CHIPAWE
IPC: B65D83/00
Filed: 2015-03-27
Abstract: A fluid dispensing apparatus comprising a deformable outer chamber (1, fig 2) has a one way duckbill valve fig 23B at the base of the outer chamber and an opening allowing a deformable pouch to be placed inside the outer chamber, creating a cavity 8. The pouch is connected to a one way duckbill valve fig 23A in communication with an apertured cap defining a fluid outlet 46. The cap is connected to the outer chamber and seals the pouch within the outer chamber. In use the user 45 squeezes the outer chamber which forces the contents of the pouch through the one way duckbill valve fig 23A and out through the cap. Upon releasing the pressure on the outer chamber air is sucked into the cavity 8 between the outer chamber and the pouch via the one way valve fig 23B in the base of the outer chamber, equalising the air pressure within the outer chamber. The component parts of the apparatus are made from flexible silicone rubber of different shore values. Alternatively the parts may be formed of latex rubber. The fluid may be cosmetics, lotions, medicament creams or the like.

Title: Low emission coil topology for wireless charging
Inventor: SONGNAN YANG
IPC: H01F38/14
Filed: 2015-11-23
Abstract: An inductive charging station has a multi-turn spiral coil formed from conducive wire. Capacitive tuning elements 602, 604, 606, 608, 610 are positioned along the length of the coil at each turn, to resonate the coil. A method is also described for selecting the capacitance of each capacitor as a function of the number of coil turns, using an optimisation algorithm with a cost function. In one embodiment, at least two capacitors have the same resonant frequency. The capacitors may be connected in series, and capacitance selected such that the voltage V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 between adjacent turns is minimised. Parasitic capacitance C12, C23, C34, C45 is reduced, and the wireless charging station provides reduced electric field, and therefore reduced electromagnetic and radio interference, risk of electric shock, and interference to power receiving unit (PRU) touch sensors or screens.

Title: Temperature sensor for a high speed rotating machine
Inventor: Brent Haslett
IPC: G01J5/02
Filed: 2016-09-06
Abstract: An infrared temperature sensor system measures the emissivity of a surface, such as a rotor 101. An IR sensor 2 is positioned near or integral to a heating means, such as a heater (14, fig 2) or a motor 26. The IR sensor 2 is directed at the surface of an object such as a rotor shaft 100 and the temperature of the sensor 2 is raised by the heating means 26 without significantly heating the object surface 101. The voltage generated by the sensor 2 is compared with an expected voltage and determines whether the IR system is working at ideal operational status. This measurement can also enable calculating the emissivity of the surface 101 depending on an expected emissivity and the ratio of expected and generated voltages. The system is intended for use in a turbo-molecular vacuum pump rotor 100 to monitor potential thermal expansion of rotor blades 9 and therefore prevent failure.
