Title: A technique for constructing a boat hull from composite structural sheets
Inventor: DYER ROGER CAMERON
IPC: B63B3/18
Filed: 2008-01-15
Abstract: A construction technique is disclosed using predominantly natural fibrous materials for making and joining thin, shaped, composite sheets that can be assembled into a box structure for use in boat hull construction. The technique involves taking a first sheet of natural fibrous material, usually thin plywood, and applying an edge reinforcement strip formed from a similar fibrous material, before joining the first sheet to a second sheet of the same material. Before the sheets are joined together they may be shaped and encapsulated in an epoxy material to resist moisture impregnation. The reinforcing strip then acts as a fillet in the completed joint, an improvement in conventional techniques where the fillet is applied after the sheets have been joined. The sheet can then be used as a stable structural material with measurable strength and is able to be analysed using conventional structural analysis techniques. The joint technique uses the natural fibrous material section to redirect the load path.

Title: Putting practice apparatus including putter head guide rail and ball storage channel
Inventor: WU VICTOR
IPC: A63B47/00
Filed: 2008-05-09
Abstract: A putting practice device 2 includes a ball storage channel 3 disposed on a flat surface and defining a slot (32, fig. 3) for receiving golf balls 8. A side of the ball channel 3 comprises an upright surface 324, a lower end of which defines a side of a putting path 62. In use, a golf ball is pushed by a putter head 92 to drop from the channel 3 onto the path 62 (see fig. 6), and the putter head 92 is moved along the path to strike the golf ball in the longitudinal direction 200, during which movement the heel of the putter head 92 moves along the heel-engaging surface 324. The apparatus may include upright calibration rods 42 extending from a base member 41, and a golfer may abut the striking face of the putter against the rods 42 to obtain correct orientation of the striking face prior to using the practice device. The ball channel 3 may curve upwardly from a notched middle part such that balls on the channel may roll towards and come to rest beside the notch through which they may be pushed onto the path 62 using the putter head. The apparatus may include a target 5 towards which the balls are stroked.

Title: A class E amplifier with power supply modulation and a predistorted input signal
Inventor: WARR PAUL
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2008-09-10
Abstract: The amplitude of the input signal Vin for a class E power amplifier 20 with power supply modulation 18 is adjusted by a predistorter 22 in order to achieve either optimum linearity or power added efficiency. Optimum efficiency is achieved by avoiding underdriving or overdriving of the amplifier 20. Optimum linearity is achieved by adjusting the amplitude of Vin to achieve a linear relation between the output signal magnitude and the supply voltage Vds. The predistorter 22 may alternatively or additionally adjust the phase of Vin to correct the amplifier's phase response. The predistorter 22 may use a lookup table or polynomial equation. An amplitude limiter 16 may be arranged before the predistorter.

Title: Process for the treatment of materials in a vessel with a compacting stage and an additional loading step
Inventor: GRIERSON DUNCAN
IPC: A61L11/00
Filed: 2008-11-04
Abstract: A process to treat materials in a vessel at elevated temperature and pressure (for example, an autoclave), wherein the vessel is loaded with compactable material to be treated, wherein the material is subjected to at least one compacting stage and additional filling step, the material after the compacting and additional filling step(s) is subjected to the main cooking or treatment cycle, and the treated material from the vessel is obtained, which treated material preferably is classified into one or more useful fractions. The process is particularly suitable for treatment of waste such as municipal solid waste (MSW) or medical waste. Preferably, the compacting stage is performed with the vessel closed wherein the vessel is heated, and pressurized, while rotation and agitation are progressing, for sufficient time to reduce the volume of the material by 10vol%. This allows an additional 5vol% of waste to be added before the main processing step, increasing the batch load size and efficiency of the process and reducing the energy required. The vessel may be inclined and the material may be heated using steam.

Title: A personalised notification system for safety purposes
Inventor: YANG YUPING
IPC: G08B27/00
Filed: 2009-08-17
Abstract: A personalized notification system for safety purpose consists of a number of wireless detectors, such as carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, heat rate detectors or blood pressure detectors. These send their outputs to a local computer. The system allows a user to specify his preference rules as to which people should be notified of an alarm situation, via which devices (communication means — mobile phone, email, voice mail, instant message etc.) which may depend on the time, day of week, and date. When an event occurs, the system performs a real-time reasoning based on the predefined user preferences and makes a decision on what actions should be taken appropriately. According to the reasoning result, a message is sent to different people. The system can be used in different scenarios where people want to be notified regardless of their location whenever a sensor detects a situation that needs their attention.
