Title: Apparatus For Measurement Accuracy Testing Of Radiological Imaging Modalities And Networked Digital Viewing Platforms
Inventor: CARPENTER CAMERON NIGEL GLENVI
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2007-05-11
Abstract: The diagnostic test tool is designed to simultaneously compare and evaluate measurement accuracy on a wide range of radiological imaging apparatus. It enables comparison of known reference values of a test object against those values generated by manufacturer software image measurement programs commonly found on diagnostic viewing facilities. The tool can compare measurement accuracy across most radiological imaging platforms including digital subtraction angiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radio-fluoroscopy, and newer combination scanners. These can now be collectively compared and evaluated, along with manufacturer reporting software including multi-planar reconstruction, maximum intensity projection, and curved reconstructions. The construction of its cross-sectional modules will provide a reference diameter on each constructed image and will allow distance in the z-axis to be accurately referenced. Comparison of this reference value with what is measured at the reporting platform will give a measure of compliance / non-compliance of the imaging equipment with the reference. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the invention comprising a frame 1, vertical column 6, and sockets 8 into which can be fitted measurement tubes / reference tools as shown in figures 8, 9 etc.

Title: A locking mechanism with various control arrangements
Inventor: ISLEY DAVID ANDREW
IPC: E05B59/00
Filed: 2009-01-15
Abstract: A mechanism 1 for latching a wing, comprising drive means 11a, a latch 5 and a drive bar 9, wherein the drive bar 9 cannot be driven by the drive means 11 until the latch 5 is withdrawn. The latch may include a protrusion 37 which cooperates with recess 35 in the drive bar 9; thus the projection 35 of latch 5 blocks movement of the drive bar 9 and may prevent the retraction of additional locking points of a multipoint lock. A key operated deadbolt lock 7 may be provided which can also obstruct the drive bar; the key operated lock may also control the latch. Also provided is a mechanism for latching a wing wherein when a locking device is deactivated a latch is held in the retracted position allowing the opening of the wing. Another mechanism for latching a wing provides drive means on opposite sides of the mechanism which function independently allowing independent operation from both sides of the wing. Also provided is a mechanism for locking a wing comprising a plurality of locking points and a plurality of triggers which when activated cause the locking points to automatically extend to the lock position; the locking points are connected by a drive bar and preferably all the triggers must be activated, e.g. by being depressed upon closing of the wing, to allow the locking points to lock.

Title: Seal assembly for retractable instrument
Inventor: DYLKIEWICZ DAVID A
IPC: A45D34/04
Filed: 2007-12-27
Abstract: A seal assembly (32) for a retractable instrument (10) having an applicator element (22) is disclosed, the seal assembly (32) comprising a base (34), at least two fingers (36) attached to the base (34), and a sleeve (38) surrounding the base (34). When the retractable instrument (10) is in a retracted position, the sleeve (38) constrains the fingers (36) such that the fingers (36) are in a fully closed state and seal the applicator element (22). Protraction of the base (34) relative to the sleeve (38) allows the fingers (36) to open, thereby exposing the applicator element (22). Thus, the seal assembly opens to expose an applicator element such that the applicator element is in an application position; however, none of the elements of the seal assembly contacts the applicator element to transfer fluid from the applicator element, thereby eliminating potential degradation of the seal.

Title: Gas lift valve assembly within a passageway
Inventor: MESSICK TYSON R
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2007-02-22
Abstract: An apparatus that is usable with a well includes a gas lift valve and an isolation member. The gas lift valve 50 includes a valve element 94 that is located between an annulus and a passageway of a tubing. The valve element 94 is adapted to selectively open and close to control fluid communication through the valve. The isolation member, such as a sleeve valve or rupture disc 134, is adapted to in a first state, isolate the valve element 94 from at least one of the annulus and the passageway and in a second state, permit fluid communication between the valve element 94 and the annulus or passageway. The gas lift valve 50 is located in a passageway eccentric to a main production flow passageway and the valve element may be aided in opening by the use of suction pathways to exert a retraction force on the valve element 94.

Title: Pipeline pig with rupture disc
Inventor: CASSIDY ANDREW BRIAN
IPC: F16L55/26
Filed: 2009-11-06
Abstract: A cleaning and obstruction locating pipeline pig according to this invention includes a magnetic nose bumper at its forward end and a disc located in the central bypass flow passageway that prevents product from flowing through the central bypass flow passageway while the pig is travelling forward in the pipeline. If debris ahead of the pig causes the pig to become stuck in the pipeline, product flow pressing upon the disc ruptures the disc, thereby allowing product to flow through the central bypass flow passageway until the pig is located and removed from the pipeline. The pig may also be used to locate a previously launched but stuck pipeline pig.

Title: Improvements in structural elements made from paper and like sheets
IPC: E04C2/36
Filed: 1944-05-25
Abstract: 591,772. Paper filling for compound structures. MAY, G. May 25, 1944, Nos. 10187/44 and 12802/45. [Glasses 96 and 140] A cellular filling for structural elements is made by applying to a sheet of paper or film lines or rows of dots of adhesive, e.g. glue, superimposing a number of such sheets with the adhesive lines alternately staggered, cutting the pile at right angles to the adhesive lines and opening it up to form a lattice. The lines are inclined and in short sections if the walls of the lattice are to be pyramidal. The adhesive is applied by means of flat hinged screen 22 of silk associated with a stencil 23, a squeegee being used to press the adhesive through the stencil and the silk. The stencil may be dispensed with by coating with a varnish resist to leave a series of parallel lines through which the adhesive can pass. The paper may be supported on a board 15 capable of lateral movement of an amount equal to half the pitch of the adhesive lines and is moved for each successive sheet of paper. The lid 21 carrying the screen is hinged to a transom 20 which is movable vertically on pins or like guides. Alternatively, there may be two hinged screens and stencils for treating alternate sheets, or the outer lines deposited by the screen may be nearer one edge than the other and each alternate sheet is reversed. A printing machine or platen may also be used to apply the adhesive to the sheets. The setting of the adhesive may be hastened by heat and/or pressure, the pile being cut into narrow widths either before or after opening out into the lattice. Dipping in a solution or suspension of an artificial resin or cellulose ester strengthens the lattice which can also be metallised as by dipping or spraying with a varnish containing finely divided metal powder, e.g. aluminium. The cellular filling is cemented between boards of plywood, fibre board, plastic woods or paper. The peripheral edges of the structure may be filled with plastic wood or a thermoplastic material. The inner surface may be built up on a mould or mandrel by sticking two or three layers of paper together, using a chemical setting adhesive such as ureaformaldehyde resin, casein or starch, rubbing down and applying the cellular filling thereto with its cellular walls at right angles to the inner skin to which it is secured by adhesive. Specifications 27931/03, [Class 73], 6424/04, [Class 96], 120,701, 157,432, [both in Class 140], 492,630, [Group V], 501,172, 519,061, 538,306, 556,620, [all in Group XXIII], and 3178/40, as open to inspection under Sect. 91, are referred to.
