Title: Treatment and recovery of waste
IPC: B29B17/00
Filed: 2005-01-31
Abstract: A method of processing waste containing thermoplastic and non-thermoplastic materials comprises the steps of (i) heating the waste, (ii) supplying the waste to a densifier to cause densification of the waste and heat transfer contact between the materials such that the thermoplastic material softens to at least partially surround the non-thermoplastic material, and (iii) extruding the densified waste to form an extruded product. The heating step may be performed at an elevated pressure and may be carried out by exposing the waste to steam, for example, in a rotating autoclave device. An alkaline material like calcium oxide may be added to the waste before or after densification. In other aspects of the invention, the waste to be treated is clinical waste and the method is intended to at least partly reduce bacterial, viral, pharmacological and/or chemical hazards of the waste to facilitate transport and disposal.

Title: Method and apparatus for automatic support generation for an object made by means of a rapid prototype production method
Filed: 2007-10-10
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved method for supporting an object made by means of stereo lithography or any other rapid prototype production method. The generation of the support begins by determining the region that requires support in each layer of the object and defines a number of support points in this region. In a next step, a support mesh is generated connected to the object using these support points. The present invention also discloses different techniques that reduce superfluous edges to further optimize the support mesh. Finally, a support is generated from this support mesh. The present invention may facilitate the generation of supports data by employing more automation and less user analysis.

Patent GB-0806950-D0 (GB)
Title: H lock
Filed: 2008-04-17
Abstract: A hinge having a hinge pin defining a hinge axis and comprising a hole through the hinge pin at right angles to the hinge axis. A locking pin is inserted through the hole when the hinge is in a closed position, which prevents the hinge from opening. When the door is closed the locking pin may be pushed through the side of the hinge and through the hinge pin. This will stop the hinge from working effectively locking it shut. This prevents the door from being opened from the outside even if the conventional lock is forced. This hinge lock makes it impossible to lever the door open from the outside as there is no play at all on the door.
