Title: A decanting device for piercing the lid of a paint tin and being located by two barbs
Inventor: COLE WARREN
IPC: B44D3/12
Filed: 2007-06-12
Abstract: A decanting device has a metal tube 1 with a sharpened end 3. A pair of barbs 2 are located on the outside of said tube. The device may be located on a lid of a paint tin and struck on an end cap 8 which may be screwed onto a threaded portion 4 of said device. As said device is struck it punctures the lid of said container and said barbs also pierce said lid. The device may be rotated slightly to allow the barbs to locate a non pierced portion of the lid. A washer 5 and wing nut 6 may then be tightened to clamp said device in position on said lid. To decant the liquid from said paint tin the end cap is unscrewed from said device and the contents is poured from the container. A brush 7 may be provided to clean the bore of said device. The device may be removed from the lid by unscrewing said wing-nut, a sealing bung or cap may then be placed in the hole in the lid.

Title: Temperature responsive flow control valve
Inventor: HUTCHINS WILLIAM RICHARD
IPC: F16K31/70
Filed: 2007-12-07
Abstract: A temperature responsive valve 11 has two generally cylindrical valve members 28, 29 arranged concentrically within a valve chamber 27. The outer valve member 28 has an end flange 32 abutting an outer annular seat 45 adjacent a hot outlet 16 and is directly actuated by a thermostat capsule 24 via radial spokes 35. The capsule 24 reacts against a central column 26 which guides the inner valve member 29, the inner valve member 29 having an end flange 37 abutting an inner annular seat 38 also adjacent the hot outlet 16, while its other end has hooked castellations 39 engaging the capsule 24. The outer valve member 28 blocks flow from a hot inlet 14 when the temperature sensed by the capsule 24 is below 80{C. As the temperature rises, the outer valve member 28 moves so coolant can flow between the valve members 28, 29 back to the engine. With a further rise in temperature, the capsule 24 engages the castellations 39 to move the inner valve member 29 and allow flow through the hot outlet 16 to a radiator 17.
Patent GB-2443984-A (GB)
Title: Methods and apparatus for the secure handling of data in a microcontroller
Inventor: CHAMBERS MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: G06F21/14
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are presented for protecting data in microcontrollers from both malicious software processes running inside the device as well as from unauthorized attempts to read the data from an external data bus and/or external memory. An illustrative embodiment of the invention accomplishes these security improvements, in part, by utilizing an enhanced memory management unit (MMU). The enhanced MMU is configured to prevent one software process running on the microcontroller from accessing data associated with a different software process running on the same microcontroller. Moreover, data transmitted over an external data bus or stored in an external memory is encrypted, thereby reducing the chances that unauthorized users will gain exploitable information from this data.

Title: High speed serial printing using printheads
Inventor: MATTERN JAMES MICHAEL
IPC: B41J2/50
Filed: 2005-07-19
Abstract: The printing device 10 has a printing media inserter 16, a media path 18, a media feeder 44 and a plurality of printheads 20-26, positioned serially in the media path 18. Interlaced print images may be produced. The printing media inserter 16 transfers the printing media 28 to a printing media buffer 14 or into the media path 18. The media feeder 44 is adapted to feed a piece of the printing media 28 along a media path 18 in a media feed direction 46 at a media feed speed. A piece of the printing media 28 travelling along the media path 18 is sequentially printed upon by each of the printheads 20-26 having a predetermined print resolution at a predetermined media feed speed. The printheads 20-26 are controlled by processor 30 to print on the printing media 28 travelling along the media path 18 in the media feed direction 46 at the media feed speed to enable the media feed speed to exceed the predetermined media feed speed for an image produced by the printheads 20-26 on the printing media 28 of a print resolution no less than the predetermined print resolution. The printheads 20-26 are controlled 30 to allow at least one of the printheads 20-26 to be inactivated and moved outside the media path 18 to be serviced 62S while the remaining printheads 20-26 remain active, and wherein each of the printheads 20-26 is controlled to be sequentially serviced.

Title: Conduits around throughbore bypass expandable barrier
Inventor: NUTLEY KIM
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 2008-11-11
Abstract: An apparatus 300 for use in a wellbore is described, the apparatus having a tubular body 302 and a throughbore 304 which defines a primary fluid path through the apparatus. An expanding element 308 is disposed around the tubular body 302 and is configured to provide an annular barrier in a space between the tubular body 302 and a surrounding wall. A conduit 310 defining a secondary flow path through the apparatus is provided, and is configured to be in fluid communication with at least one alternate path, such as a shunt tube, in an adjacent wellbore component (e.g. a sand control device). The conduit 310 is arranged to vary the secondary flow path along a longitudinal direction of the apparatus, for example to redirect the flow path to a radial position closer to the tool body. The conduit 310 is configured to have a reduced effect on the operation of the expanding element 308, while still allowing the conduit to be coupled to alternate flow paths of adjacent apparatus. The invention has particular application with swellable wellbore packers in gravel packing operations. An assembly, a method of use, and a wellbore installation are also described.

Title: Dynamic quality of service (QoS) network streaming control based on content priority
Inventor: THOMPSON GEOFFREY
IPC: H04L47/31
Filed: 2009-03-13
Abstract: A method of providing dynamic quality of service (QoS) in a streamed content distribution network, including plural source 10, 20 and receiving 40, 50, 60 devices and routing means 30, operating upon receiver request, comprises setting a priority for content to be output from a selected source device dependent on characteristics of that content stream, and determining the throughput rate of content streams from each network source based on this priority. Network priority can be lowered for content played at non real time rates, e.g. if faster than normal bit rate (fast forward, trick play). A reduced number of lower priority frames may be transmitted, or a selected source can transcode or transrate content output, reducing throughput either by reducing picture resolution or bit rate. Content stream rate may be at receiver request, such as via feedback resulting from quality reduction, e.g. in the form of lost packets or identified syntax errors. Also, source devices may set priority levels for incoming multiple content streams, lowering rates for selected incoming streams accordingly.
