Title: Improvements in or relating to Printing Machines.
IPC: B41F27/12
Filed: 1915-09-14
Abstract: 101,349. Maschinenfabrik Augsburg- Nurnberg Akt.-Ges. Sept. 15, 1014, [Convention date]. Impression surfaces and overlays; intagtio-plate printing.-Relates to rotary machines for printing from thin intaglio plates, such as are described in Specification 10550/15, 13151/15, and 100,616, and consists in providing the impression cylinder with depressions or the like opposite the gaps or joints between the ends of the printing-plates on the plate cylinder, so as to remove or reduce the printing-pressure at these points to prevent soiling by the ink that may accumulate in the gaps. As shown in Fig. 1, the impression cylinder is formed with depressions D opposite the gaps C between the plates B on the cylinder A. The paper being printed is shown at F, and an endless blanket at E. The depressions are shorter than the width of the paper F, so that there may be feeding contact between the cylinders at each end; and the sides of the depressions are preferably curved or formed to prevent sudden re-engagement of the impression surface. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, an overlay C of paper, india-rubber, cloth, pasteboard, &c. is placed on the cylinder D to increase the diameter of the impression surface. The thickness of this sheet C in different parts may be varied to increase or decrease the printing-pressure at the desired points. In this case, running or bearer rings H are also provided to make pressure contact with the ends of the plate cylinder A.

Patent GB-2480606-A (GB)
Title: Flame arrester
Inventor: MITCHELL JAMES DESMOND
IPC: A62C4/02
Filed: 2010-05-24
Abstract: flame arrester 10 comprises a vessel 12 defining an upper chamber 32 and a lower chamber 33 separated by a demister packing layer 30; a gas outlet 28 communicating with the upper chamber 32; and a multiplicity of inlet holes 36 for flow of gas in the vicinity of the base of the vessel 12. In use water 34 fills the lower chamber 32 to a level well above the inlet holes, so that all the in-flowing gas flows as bubbles through the water. This prevents flame propagation. If the number of holes, and the size of those holes, are selected in accordance with the flow rate of gas that is to be treated to ensure that the gas velocity through each hole 36 is greater than the flame velocity, this provides a further assurance against flame propagation.

Patent GB-2482903-A (GB)
Title: A print engine
Inventor: BEARCHELL CHRISTOPHER ALAN
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2010-08-19
Abstract: A print engine (8) is disclosed comprising a discovery module (32) and a number of content formatters (24a- 24e). When a document (3, fig 1) is to be printed a content formatter (24a-24e) is selected based on the format of the document (3). The document (3) is then analysed together with capabilities data (35-1;..;35-n) obtained by the discovery module (32) to determine whether the document (3) is in a format compatible with the capabilities of the printer (2, fig 1) to be used to print the document (3). If this is the case the unprocessed document is passed to the printer. If the document (3) is not in a format compatible with the capabilities of the printer (2), the print engine (8) determines whether the document can be modified to remove incompatibilities between the format of the document (3) and a format compatible with the capabilities of the printer (2) without removing content from the document and if so modifies the document and passes the processed document (3) to the printer (2). The application minimizes the amount of processing needed to print for a mobile device.

Title: Coverage optimisation for wireless networks
Inventor: BEVAN DAVID
IPC: H04W16/18
Filed: 2009-10-08
Abstract: In a wireless network comprising access points deployed within a designated zone of coverage, the radio frequency field strength resulting from radiation from the access points is optimised as a function of location by means of control of the transmission power and/or radiation pattern of the access points in response to measurements from sensors at defined locations that measure received signal power, the received power being related to radio frequency field strength. Sensors may be deployed within the designated zone of coverage, at the edge of the zone and/or outside the zone and optimisation of the transmission parameters of the access points in terms of transmission power and/or radiation patter is carried out taking into account the location of the sensors in addition to the received power at the sensors.

Title: A CMOS pixel sensor with local analogue storage in each pixel circuit for capturing frames in quick succession
Inventor: RAYNOR JEFFREY MITCHELL
IPC: H04N5/3745
Filed: 2011-02-09
Abstract: A CMOS pixel sensor with local analogue storage in each pixel circuit for capturing frames in quick successionPhotodiode output signals for successive global shuttered frames are stored in respective storage elements M8 and M12 within each pixel so that two frames may be captured in rapid succession for subsequent readout. The ability to capture two images in very quick succession allows improved detection and compensation of rapidly time-varying ambient light, such as light from mains-powered lamps. Motion detection is also improved. The image sensor may be used in a touch screen to control a computer or other apparatus such as a phone, camera, or remote controller.

Title: Calibrating barkhausen noise signals for evaluation of thickness of surface hardened layers of steels
Inventor: MOROZOV MAXIM
IPC: G01N27/72
Filed: 2011-10-04
Abstract: A method for non-destructive evaluation of thickness of surface hardened layers of steels is based on measurement of magnetic Barkhausen noise. RMS envelopes of Barkhausen noise signals obtained on hardened samples are analysed by means of a pattern recognition technique such as Principal Component Analysis. Principal components are obtained to form a calibration vector space and the RMS envelopes are projected on the principal components to obtain a locus of principal component projections in the vector space representing calibration dependence correlating the Barkhausen noise signals with thickness of surface hardened layers.

Title: Microwavable food container lid
Inventor: BAGNALL PAUL
IPC: B65D43/02
Filed: 2012-09-13
Abstract: A lid 12 for a microwavable food container 10 is formed from random copolymer polypropylene with between 2% and 6% (by weight) glycerol monostearate. The lid has an annular formation, which may be an annular skirt or annular recess, which allows the lid to be releasably secured to a complementary annular formation of a food container. The annular skirt may have multiple projections which abut the annular formation of the food container to space the lid from the container. The lid has a central portion 14 which is either concave or convex with respect to the interior 16 of the food container. The shape of the lid central portion 14 encourages condensation flow (the direction of which is shown by 22) to keep condensation from building up on the underside 18 of the lid. In the case of the lid being convex a drip propagator may be formed in the centre of the lid. This drip propagator may be a projection of the lid centre.
