Title: Puzzle comprising concentric spherical containers
Inventor: HUME SHAUN
IPC: A63F9/08
Filed: 2008-06-24
Abstract: A puzzle comprises a nested structure of hollow containers 1, 2, 3 with an outer container 1and at least one inner container 2, 3. Each container has an aperture 4, 5, 6, and the or each inner container 2, 3 rotates within the next larger sized container about at least one axis such that the apertures may be brought into alignment allowing the insertion and extraction of an article, e.g. a ball, into and from the innermost container 3. The structure preferably comprises three to five concentric spherical containers. The outermost container 1 may include a base 7. At least some adjacent pairs of containers may be linked to define the relative motion of the inner container, e.g. via spigots, shafts, trunnions or such-like (not shown) on the inner container which engage with sockets, cups or sleeves (not shown) on the inside of the next larger sized container. The structure may comprise three transparent spheres each having a circular aperture, with the two inner spheres being able to rotate freely about an axis passing through the centre of the sphere. The spheres may be arranged to take up a position at rest where the apertures are aligned when the outermost sphere is in one orientation and non-aligned when the outermost sphere is in a different orientation. The structure may alternatively be used as a display container, e.g. for confectionary items.

Title: Data processing system and method
Inventor: LOCKIE DAVID
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2008-12-05
Abstract: Systems and method are described for managing external content for insertion into a web interface. One method includes storing identifiers of a plurality of items of external content, such as advertisements, in a database. When a request is received for external content for insertion into a web interface, a minimum rating is determined for content that is permitted to be inserted into the web interface. A rating is obtained for at least one item of external content in the database and the rating is compared to the minimum rating for the web interface. If the rating is lower than the determined minimum rating, the external content is blocked. If the rating is higher than the determined minimum rating, the external content is forwarded for insertion into the web interface. A rating system is also described which enables a community of users to generate a rating for items, including items of external content.

Title: Well cleanup tool with real time condition feedback to the surface
Inventor: LYNDE GERALD D
IPC: E21B27/00
Filed: 2007-05-25
Abstract: A flow sensor is incorporated into a junk basket to sense a flow stoppage due to a plugged screen or plugged cuttings ports in a mill. The sensor triggers a signal to the surface to warn personnel that a problem exists before the equipment is damaged. The sensor signal to the surface can rake a variety of forms including mud pulses, a detectable pressure buildup at the surface, electromagnetic energy, electrical signal on hard wire or radio signals in a wifi system to name a few options. Surface personnel can interrupt the signal to take corrective action that generally involves pulling out of the hole or reverse circulating to try to clear the screen or mill cuttings inlets. Other variables can be measured such as the volume or weight or rate of change of either and a signal can be sent to the surface corresponding to one of those variables to allow them to be detected at the surface in near real time.

Title: Improvements relating to Automatic Apparatus for use in the Directing of Anti-aircraft Guns.
IPC: F41G5/08
Filed: 1918-06-24
Abstract: 126,521. Greg, J. R., and Metropolitan Carriage, Wagon, & Finance Co. June 24,1918. Sights.-Relates to automatic apparatus for directing anti-aircraft guns of the kind comprising sighting-devices operated by one or more observers to determine the bursting or striking position of the projectile. According to the invention, the sighting-devices are made also to determine the line on which lies the bursting point. As shown, a frame h is set in azimuth and a frame g in elevation by the sighting-devices. The frame g carries a sliding frame f which carries another sliding frame e, and the frames f, e are adjusted in azimuth and elevation by the sighting- devices according to the predicted change of these quantities during the time of flight of the projectile. Further, the frame e carries another frame d which is adjusted radially from the centre x according to the estimate change of range during the time of flight of the projectile. A bar a connected to the frame d by a universal joint and sliding through a frame b hinged to the frame c will therefore be parallel to the line on which the bursting point lies; and the direction of this line is indicated by transmitting the movement in azimuth and elevation of the frames c, b respectively to electric motors t, q by means of hunting- switches s, p.
