Title: Rodent trap
Inventor: TOULE KEITH
IPC: A01M23/10
Filed: 2010-06-18
Abstract: A rodent trap 100 is provided for catching, killing and storing a plurality of rodents. The trap has a plurality of chambers 108 for receiving a rodent therein and access means to enable access for a rodent to one of said chambers. A liquid reservoir 102 is provided, as is a trigger 118 which, in use, is activated by a rodent in one of the chambers 108a. Activation of the trigger indexes the plurality of chambers such that the chamber containing the rodent is moved from a first position in which the chamber is accessible by the rodent to a second position in which the rodent is contained within said chamber beneath the liquid in the reservoir. Once the rodent has drowned the chambers can be further indexed resulting in the dead rodent falling into the reservoir. The chambers can form part of a rotating drum or can be formed on a conveyor belt (fig 4). Access to the trap is provided in one direction only.

Title: Deck pole for supporting livestock laden decks and method
Inventor: HOUGHTON MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: B60P3/04
Filed: 2011-06-23
Abstract: AÂ deck pole (10, Figure 1) and method of manufacturing said deck pole. The deck pole (10) comprises an extruded profile having an inner compartment 130 for receiving one or more strengthening members 140â  . The method comprises forming a common extrusion profile for use as a deck pole (10). When a lower strength deck pole is required, the extrusion profile can be used independently therefore saving weight. When a higher strength deck pole is required, one or more strengthening members 140â  , 140â  â  , 140â  â  â   may be inserted in to an inner compartment 130 of the extrusion profile. Because the compartment is inside the extrusion profile, the strength can be adapted without changing the external size of the deck pole (10). The strengthening components are preferably elongate standard extrusions, for instance solid or hollow tubes, bars or the like. A single extrusion profile can be adapted for different strengths to suit the required strength of the specific application of the deck pole (10). Moreover, the extrusion profile provides a protective cover to the strengthening members 104â  .

Inventor: REID MICHAEL GRAHAM
IPC: F24B1/02
Filed: 2011-10-11
Abstract: A cooking and heating stove has cast heat resistant walls, a combustion chamber 15, and a cooking surface 11 above the chamber 15.

Title: Integrated circuit debugging using barrier transactions and debug access port circuitry
Inventor: KALKUNTE SHESHADRI
IPC: G01R31/317
Filed: 2011-11-16
Abstract: An integrated circuit 2 includes one or more transaction masters 8, 10, 12 for issuing data transactions to slaves 14, 18 via interconnect circuitry 20. Debug access port circuitry 4 is configured to respond to debug commands received from an external debug controller 6 to generate barrier transactions which are issued to the interconnect circuitry. The interconnect circuitry responds to the received barrier transactions by constraining a relative ordering of at least some of the data transactions as they pass through the interconnect circuitry. The barrier transactions may be memory barrier transactions which maintain relative ordering by not permitting reordering of data transactions across the barrier transaction. Alternatively, the barrier transactions may be synchronization barrier transactions which maintain relative ordering by delaying transactions that succeed the synchronization barrier transaction until after a subset of transactions have reached their destination slave.

Title: A collapsible trolley for transferring heavy loads across rough terrain which can also be used as a camp bed
Inventor: JORDAN GRAHAM
IPC: A47C13/00
Filed: 2012-07-05
Abstract: A collapsible trolley in which a main frame, consisting of two parallel side rails A, is spanned by a fabric top cover (J, figure 6) which is held in tension by hinged cross brace spreaders E providing it with structural rigidity. A single, centrally located, large diameter wheel B is provided. An under-slung carry pocket K may be attached to the underside of the fabric cover, said pocket allowing balanced loading of heavy items. A four- legged, triangulated, support structure may secure the wheel to the parallel side rails such that it transfers further tension into the fabric top cover of the trolley making it more rigid the heavier it is loaded. The four support legs D may be hinge mounted to the parallel side rails such that they can be folded away under the device and secured to the underside of the fabric top cover, meaning that the trolley can also be used as a camp bed when the wheel is removed. The fabric top cover and integral under-slung carry pocket section can also be removable allowing a range of alternative fabric pocket inserts, such as a seat, to be installed. The trolley frame can be dismantled and folded up for transport.

Abstract: A method of producing a free-flowing salt composition comprises comminuting, e.g. milling, a first particulate fraction comprised of sodium chloride crystals having a mean particle size by volume of at least 500 Î¼m (i.e. standard size), in the presence of a second particulate fraction which is a salt product wherein at least 95% by volume of the particles of the salt product have a size less than 100 Î¼m (i.e. extra fine). The resulting salt composition has a mean particle size distribution by volume of 150 to 250 Î¼m. The first particulate fraction comprise about 65 to 85 wt% of the mixture. The salt product comprises sodium chloride and an organic material that is a solid at ambient temperature.
