Patent GB-201115194-D0 (GB)
Title: Pump apparatus
Filed: 2011-09-02
Abstract: A pump apparatus comprises a pump head dispenser 20 having a peristaltic pump 22, a plurality of dispensing tubes 16, 18 disposed through the pump head, wherein the peristaltic pump when actuated acts on each of the dispensing tubes so as to simultaneously pump an equal volume of fluid. Ideally, the peristaltic pump spray head 22 is operable by a finger trigger 24. The trigger preferably works on the ratchet and pawl mechanism to turn a rotor having roller impellers which squeeze the tubes. Preferably two or three tubes are used in the peristaltic pump, in association with two or three fluid containers. One container may contain a reagent, while the other carries a different second reagent. Actuation may cause the reagents to mix and exit from a single nozzle, or exit unmixed through multiple separate nozzles. Chlorine dioxide or a sterilising composition may be dispensed. An embodiment envisages three collapsible containers located within a single container housing (figures 10-12).

Title: Wireless communications system and methods
Filed: 2012-01-20
Abstract: A terminal device is described which communicates with a base station supporting a host carrier comprising radio resource segments distributed in time, each radio resource segment providing radio resources across a first frequency band. The terminal device is operable to communicate with said base station using a subordinate carrier comprising radio resources within a second frequency band of a subset of the radio resource segments of the host carrier, the second frequency band being narrower than and contained within the first frequency band. In this way, an efficient and flexible mechanism for specifying and controlling an amount and location of radio resources to be dedicated to a subordinate carrier for use by a particular (e.g. reduced capability) type of device can be provided. An embodiment describes mobile-to-mobile (M2M) or machine-type-communication (MTC) devices utilising the narrow second frequency band within a typical Long Term Evolution (LTE) network.

Abstract: A deformable membrane assembly comprises an at least partially flexible fluid-filled envelope, one wall of which is formed by an elastic membrane that is held around its edge by a resiliently bendable supporting ring, a fixed support for the envelope and selectively operable means for causing relative movement between the supporting ring and the support for adjusting the pressure of the fluid in the envelope, thereby to cause the membrane to deform. The bending stiffness of the ring varies round the ring such that upon deformation of the membrane the ring bends variably to control the shape of the membrane to a predefined form. The moving means comprise a plurality of ring-engaging members that are arranged to apply a force to the ring at spaced control points. There are at least three control points, and there is a control point at or proximate each point on the ring where the profile of the ring that is needed to produce the predefined form upon deformation of the membrane exhibits a turning point in the direction of the force applied at the control point between two adjacent points where the profile of the ring exhibits an inflection point or a turning point in the opposite direction.

Title: Inclined insulated runner multicavity plastic injection molding
Inventor: SORENSEN JENS OLE
IPC: B29C45/27
Filed: 1982-01-25
Granted: 1985-08-22
Abstract: A production runner mold is disclosed which has a movable mold part (302; 402; 502) and a stationary mold part (303; 403; 503) defining a mold cavity (304; 404; 504). Opening on the mold to release a molded product defines a mold opening direction. The stationary mold part is separable into first and second sections (307; 407; 517; 308; 408; 518), the first section including a primary runner (310; 410; 509) and the second section including secondary runners (311; 411; 511). The secondary runners are inclined to the mold opening direction to improve the properties of the molded product. If for some reason the normal production cycle is terminated such that the molten plastic within the inclined secondary runners transfers additional heat to the walls of the inclined secondary runners whereby the molten plastic solidifies throughout its entire cross-sectional region, the normal production cycle may hereafter be re-established by the steps of: (h) separating the mold part which contains the inclined secondary runners into its two sections in order to expose the solidified impressions of the inclined secondary runners, (i) removing the solidified impressions of the inclined secondary runners in such a manner that the impressions of the restriction gate on the solidified impressions of the inclined secondary runners are removed through the inclined secondary runner in a direction which is not parallel to the mold opening direction; and (j) recombining the two sections of the mold part which contain the inclined secondary runners.
