Title: Apparatus for carbonating liquids
Inventor: SIMPSON ROBERT
IPC: B01F5/10
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: Liquid carbonation system comprises tank 2 in which water 3 is cooled and carbonated by the injection of high pressure (ca. 100 bar) carbon dioxide via nozzle 4,104. The nozzle 4 may be horizontally offset from the bottom of the tank, located approximately 1/3 of the way up the tank and angled downwardly at ca 60{. The carbon dioxide injected by such a nozzle will impart a rotation to the water, establishing a vortex therein. Alternatively nozzle 104 may be arranged such that the carbon dioxide jet impinges on impeller 120 which generates the vortex. The vortex enables thorough mixing of the carbon dioxide and water whilst reducing turbulence at the surface thereof. The liquid carbonation system may be used as part of a post-mix beverage dispenser. The cooled water may serve as a heat exchange medium for cooling the syrups used in such a system.

Title: A rotary device
Inventor: WHATFORD TREVOR LYN
IPC: F03G7/10
Filed: 2004-01-28
Abstract: A float driven generator comprising a number of wheels, submerged in containers of fluid. Buoyancy is kept on one side of the wheel creating an out of balance and rotation. This is achieved by large amounts of leverage being applied to gas filled compressible reservoirs. The said reservoirs have fluid pressure deflection plates built into them to prevent fluid weight pressure acting on gas pressure. When a reservoir is at the top of a wheel leverage is applied to close it, emptying the reservoir. When a reservoir is at the bottom of the wheel, large amounts of leverage (greater than the fluid pressure) open and fill the reservoir with gas. The open reservoirs, float to the top of the container by rotating the wheel when they get to the top the cycle is repeated and the rotation continues.

Title: Transport protocol reconstruction and timer synchronization for non intrusive capturing and analysis of packets on a network
Inventor: KHIRMAN STANISLAV
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-04-23
Abstract: A transport protocol data flow reconstruction method delays determination that a missing packet is lost for a period of time. For an evaluated TCP packet in a first direction, the method determines if a TCP packet is missing in a second direction, in which case the method stores the evaluated TCP packet in a list and creates an acknowledgement timer indicating a maximum time to wait until treating the missing TCP packet as lost. Expiration of the acknowledgment timer indicates a missing packet in the second direction. The method determines if a TCP packet is missing in the first direction, in which case the method stores the evaluated TCP packet in the list and creates a retransmission timer indicating a maximum time to wait until treating the missing TCP packet as lost. Expiration of the retransmission timer indicates a missing packet in the first direction. A method is also disclosed for determining the discrepancy between packet stamping timers used in packet capturing devices in each direction, using timestamps, sequence numbers and acknowledgements extracted from the captured packets.
