Title: Rotary valve system for petrol engines
Inventor: BURGESS GARY PAUL
IPC: F01L7/10
Filed: 2007-01-23
Abstract: A rotary valve system for controlling the fuel charge inlet and the exhaust outlet of a four-stroke petrol engine comprises a single domed rotary valve A located in the combustion chamber and forming the hemi-spherical cylinder roof. The rotary valve A has preferably three openings D to coincide with a set of three port openings on the corresponding cylinder head B. As the valve rotates about its stem F the openings D uncover the next set of three port openings in sequence. Position I corresponds with the inlet of fuel/air charge, position C. to seal the chamber for compression and to uncover three spark plugs (Z, fig.6) and position E coincides with the exhaust ports. This stepping sequence follows the conventional four-stroke cycle, and the timing of the valve rotation is managed by a digitally controlled stepping motor arrangement J. The cylinder head dome B may be cast or machined with port tubes attached to achieve smooth port surfaces, and to mould port channels (K, Fig 10) such that the fuel charge will have a turbulence bias so it will swish into the combustion chamber to better mix the air and fuel.

Title: Building panel construction
Inventor: BOWERMAN HUGH GORDON
IPC: E04B2/84
Filed: 2007-03-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of constructing reinforced, filled and set walls. Each panel comprises construction boards 1 held apart from each other by spaced apertured metal strength members 2, forming a sandwich construction. Each strength member is provided with at least one bar (10 figure 3) extending beyond an edge of the construction boards. Each strength member 2 has a bar receiving portion (see figures 3a, b) associated with its end opposite the at least one bar. To construct a wall, a first such panel is first erected with its strength members extending vertically and with the bars projecting above the remainder of the panel. The void between the construction boards is then filled with a settable material such as cementitious material. A second panel is located vertically above the first by slotting the bars of the first panel into bar receiving portions of strength members in the second panel. Thereafter, the void between the construction boards of the second panel is filled with the settable material. Lateral reinforcement 3 may be provided by a plurality of steel bars 9 extending horizontally through respective openings 7 in the strength members. Later embodiments relate to a strength member for use in the manufacture of pre-formed hollow panels, and a pre-formed hollow panel for use in a method for constructing reinforced, filled and set walls.

Title: Decorative Christmas tree skirt convertible to a tree-encapsulating bag
Inventor: LLOYD TIMOTHY EDWARD
IPC: A01G23/04
Filed: 2007-03-03
Abstract: A fabric Christmas tree decorative skirt that becomes a tree-encapsulating bag to protect the home and, car from dirt and, tree debris comprises a bag open at both ends with each end hemmed with a sleeve through which nylon drawstrings are passed. In use, the bottom drawstring is used to draw the open end tight against the trunk of the tree, above the tree stand or container. The bag is then flared around the tree to form a skirt on the floor on which to display presents and catch any falling tree debris. When the Christmas tree is ready to be removed the bag is eased up the tree and the top drawstring is pulled taut to encapsulate the tree. The tree stand is exposed so it can be removed. The encapsulated Christmas tree can then be removed and disposed of. The device can be used as a decorative 'skirt, as a dust cover for artificial Christmas trees or as a washable and re-useable encapsulating bag for catching and containing the needles of real Christmas trees when disposing of such trees.

IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2007-10-18
Abstract: In a wireless Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) detector 10 of a received signal <B>y</B> = <B>Hx</B> + <B>n</B>, where <B>x</B> is the transmitted (target) signal, <B>n</B> is noise and <B>H</B> is a channel response (state) matrix, lattice reduction (LR) 26 is carried out via operations on the upper-triangular <B>R</B> component of a QR decomposition (QRD) 24 of the channel response matrix in a Pre Processing Engine (PPE) 12, with subsequent corresponding parallel operations on both and an initial identity matrix <B>T</B> and a reduced channel response matrix <B>HT</B> in a Data Processing Engine (DPE) 14. That is, any column swap or update which the LR method performs on <B>T</B> is repeated identically on <B>HT</B>. The lattice reduction of <B>H</B> to <B>HT</B> follows the Lenstra Lenstra Lovasz (LLL) algorithm, and can output soft decisions 44 with good performance compared to linear Zero Forcing (ZF) or Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) solutions. A single QRD engine (124, fig. 4) is sufficient due to the use of inner and outer loops.

Title: Data centre and apparatus and method for data centre cooling
Inventor: TOZER ROBERT
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 2008-12-05
Abstract: A data centre 400 that is segregated into cold 451, 452 and hot 460 portions has an air conditioning unit supplying cold air into the cold portions 451, 452 of the data centre. Air is sucked into cabinets 410, 420, 430, 440 containing computer equipment that is needed to be cooled and expelled into the hot portion 460 of the data centre. Pressure within the cold portions 451, 452 of the data centre will increase if the rate at which air being drawn into the cabinets 410, 420, 430, 440 is lower than the rate of air being added by an air conditioning unit. This pressure is released by means of bypass airflow between cold and hot portions. A control unit 480, 490 is arranged to measure this bypass airflow and adjust the rate of air supplied into the cold portions 451, 452 to maintain a predetermined rate of bypass airflow.

Title: Electrical connection devices
IPC: H01R12/89
Filed: 1976-03-12
Abstract: 1480721 Electrical connectors F R BONHOMME 12 March 1976 [20 March 1975 6 Feb 1976] 10053/76 Heading H2E An electrical connection device comprises resilient contact members 3 fixed at one end to a first rigid insulating support, e.g. frame 1, which in use resiliently contact at an active region 4 of each member 3 a respective conducting track of a second insulating board, e.g. printed circuit board 2. The device further includes at least one slide 10, 11, a movable end 3f of each member 3 being embedded in the, or a respective, slide, movement of the slide causing opening of the contacts in one sense and closing in a second sense. The contact members each comprise two substantially rectilinear portions 3d, 3e situated between movable end 3f and a hinge portion 3c, the junction of portions 3d, 3e constituting the active regions 4. As described, slides 10, 11 are provided with pins 21 having rollers 22, thereon which engage in curved slots 18 in metal slides 16, 17. Thus movement of the slides 16, 17 effected by a lever 25 causes pins 21 to move along the slots 18 and hence open or close the contacts depending upon the direction of slide 16, 17 movement. Further, pins 23 engaging in slots 19 of the slides 16, 17 are fixed to end plates 20 defining a chamfered entry aperture 32 for the second insulating board. The directions of curvature of the slots 18, 19 is such that the board 2 cannot enter aperture 32 if the contacts are in their closed position and is locked in position upon contact closing, a recess 39 in the board 2 being engaged by a respective end plate 20. The hinge portion 3c may comprise a single turn as shown or two arcs of opposite curvature, the hinge portion 3c producing a prestressing force that maintains the movable end 3f engaged in position. The end portion 3f may be soldered in a hole or crimped around the edge of the slide. The contact members may be of round wire as shown or of metal strip (Fig. 9, not shown). During closing of the contacts, the active region 4 slides along its respective conducting track with increasing pressure. A plurality of active regions 4 may be produced by forming undulation in the wire of the members 4 or by twisting wires together &c.
