Patent NZ-587587-A (NZ)
Title: Method for rapid heating of fluid with segmented electrodes allowing control of effective electrode area
Inventor: VAN AKEN ROBERT CORNELIS
IPC: H05B3/03
Filed: 2009-02-11
Abstract: A fluid heating apparatus has a fluid flow path from an inlet to an outlet, with multiple heating sections positioned along the flow path (316-318). Each heating section is at least one pair of electrodes between which an electric current is passed through the fluid to resistively heat the fluid during its passage along the flow path. At least one of the heating sections has a segmented electrode made up of a plurality of electrically separable segments. This allows an effective active area of the segmented electrode to be controlled by selectively activating the segments. A controller measures inlet conductivity as well as variations in fluid conductivity with temperature and determines a required voltage and current to be delivered to the fluid by each heating section. The controller activates selected segments of the segmented electrode to effect delivery of desired current and voltage by the segmented electrode to the fluid.

Title: A vertically mounted rotor with a follower skid or wheel connected to a three point linkage to make channels
Inventor: SUTHERLAND PETER
IPC: A01B13/00
Filed: 2012-02-28
Abstract: A drain forming and/ or clearing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a body (1) adapted to be attachable (6, 8) to a three point linkage of a suitable vehicle, the vehicle having a power take off ("PTO") and a hydraulic system. The body can be raised and lowered by the hydraulic system of the vehicle. A rotor assembly (2) is carried by and extends below the body and is rotated in use about a substantially vertical axis. The rotor is used to create and/or clear a ground channel when rotating and being advanced at least in part below ground level. The rotor is powered from a vehicle PTO connectable drive (9), or a vehicle hydraulic system connectable drive, carried by the body. At the other end of the body from the three point linkage is a ground following assembly (3). The follower assembly extends below the body so as to follow in a channel formed or cleared by the rotor. This helps to smooth out the channel made by the rotor. The rotor has a hub (11) connected to a plurality of blades (13), paddles or vanes outstanding from the hub and with a cant or rake to uplift soil when rotated in one rotational direction. Each blade assembly defines a leading edge with a member that is replaceable. Ties connect and support each blade assembly, each such tie connecting from the outside training edge of one blade to the next. One or more pre-rippers (17) may be attached to the body near the three point linkage to loosen the soil prior to the channel being cleared by the rotor.

Title: Employing an algorithm for enhanced timeslot assignment in radio resource scheduling
Inventor: MANBO OLOF
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2010-11-16
Abstract: 598205 Disclosed is a method (110, 120) for scheduling wireless transmissions between a network node (110) and a mobile station (120). The method includes obtaining a multi slot class of a mobile station (120) and determining a downlink Temporary Block Flow configuration. Uplink timeslots are assigned to the mobile station (120) and each assigned uplink timeslot is associated with a priority value. The priority values are based on the downlink Temporary Block Flow configuration and the multi slot class of the mobile station (120). As many uplink timeslots as possible are selected, based on the obtained multi slot class of the mobile station (120), in a priority order in descending timeslot number down to timeslot number 0. The order is determined by starting from the timeslot number computed by the following algorithm: the lowest timeslot number assigned to downlink transmission plus 4 minus the number of timeslots it takes to switch from transmission to reception, maximum timeslot number 7.

Title: Dry powder inhaler
Inventor: MELINIOTIS ANDREAS
IPC: A61M11/02
Filed: 2016-07-19
Abstract: Inhalation devices that receive a blister pack comprising a number of blisters each of which contain a pre-metered and individually packaged dose of the drug to be delivered are known. Used blisters can be simply wound around a take-up spool within the device. However, such devices are large and require means to rotate the spool to wind up the used blisters. The leading end of the strip must also be pre-attached to the spool so that the strip starts to wind around the spool as the spool is rotated. Accordingly, a dry powder inhaler having a chamber divided into first and second blister compartments for storing unused and used portions of a blister strip is provided. A moveable dividing wall separates the first and second blister compartments. Three arcuate supporting surfaces are disposed inside the chamber and support the used or unused blister strip during successive actuations of the inhaler. A blister strip guide rib controls the direction of the used blister strip as it enters the second blister compartment.
