IPC: F23D11/38
Filed: 2012-10-29
Abstract: A burner inlet assembly 200 is for generating a fluid pulse to assist in removal of accumulated deposits/residues (24 Fig 2) in a burner 10. The assembly includes a fluid accumulator/pressure vessel 16 chargeable with a pulse fluid from a fluid source 30 at a charging flow rate, and an actuator/valve 18 operable to discharge pulse fluid from the fluid accumulator through an outlet conduit (58 Fig 8) at a discharging flow rate in response to a change in an actuation signal for example from a controller 32.

Title: Column scrolling
Inventor: FELTHAM ANDREW STEWART
IPC: G06F3/0485
Filed: 2014-06-05
Abstract: A method of controlling the display of a multiple-column document comprises displaying the columns in a viewport; receiving user input defining downwards scrolling for the document; determining the lowest numbered column that does not have its lowest point displayed in the viewport; and scrolling only this column, whilst all other columns remain stationary. The scrollbar may be sized to reflect the total height of the multiple columns in the document. When receiving input defining upwards scrolling for the document, the highest numbered column that doesnt have its highest point displayed is determined, and only this column is scrolled. User inputs defining downward scrolling when all columns have their lowest point displayed result in the entire document scrolling upwards; user inputs defining upwards scrolling for the document when all columns have their highest point displayed result in the entire document scrolling downwards. The invention is intended to make multiple-column documents more easily readable, by avoiding the need to scroll to the top of the page to begin reading the next column upon finishing reading a first column.

Patent GB-2528689-A (GB)
Title: Improved coupling assembly
Inventor: READMAN MATT
IPC: F16L37/30
Filed: 2014-07-28
Abstract: There is provided a coupling having a first part, a second part and a cage. The first part and second part are coupled along a coupling direction, to provide a sealed passageway, wherein the seals are angled with respect to the coupling direction and a directionperpendicular thereto. Consequently, it is possible to provide a breaking surface and reaction surface to provide a frictional force resisting separation of the parts in the coupling direction and to balance the separation forces generated from internal pressure. There is also provided a valve having a plug that intersects a fluid passageway in a body at an angle thereto. The plug has an aperture that extends from one portion of a circumferential face to another portion,wherein in one angular rotation arrangement, the aperture through the plug is aligned with the fluid passageway allowing fluid to flow through the valve. In another angular rotation arrangement, the plug closes the fluid passageway. For instance annular seals either side of the aperture through the plug prevent fluid from exiting the fluid passageway. Advantageously, because the plug is angled to the fluid passageway and because the plug is moved between an open and closed arrangement by rotation, minimal force is required to activate the valve.

A system comprises a control module to select a data center to act as an active data center upon detecting failure of one or more data centers.
