Title: Slidable loading bay buffer
Inventor: MARTIN SCOTT
IPC: B65G69/00
Filed: 2007-06-25
Abstract: A loading bay buffer assembly comprises a buffer support (35) with mounting means so it may be secured to a loading bay, and a buffer (20) mounted on the buffer support (35) and arranged to slide in a generally vertical direction relative to said buffer support. One of the buffer (20) and buffer support (35) defines at least one channel (40) and the other includes at least one formation (28) arranged to locate in the channel and slide relative thereto to thereby mount the buffer (20) on the buffer support (35).

Patent GB-2454693-A (GB)
Title: Optical amplifiers
Inventor: BIDDLE MICHAEL
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 2007-11-15
Abstract: An optical amplifier comprises an optical fibre and a pump laser for example, a laser diode for optically pumping the optical fibre to amplify an optical signal. There is thermo electric cooler (TEC) 1 for cooling the pump laser on receipt of a cooling current and a temperature sensor 2 for monitoring the temperature of the amplifier housing. A control circuit 3 controls the cooling current in dependence on a sensing output from the temperature sensor 2, so as to maintain the temperature of the pump laser at a temperature set point. The control circuit 3 is configured (i) to maintain the temperature of the pump laser at a first temperature set point which is preferably 25 {C, which is within a predetermined temperature range of the amplifier, and (ii) to maintain the temperature of the pump laser at a second temperature set point preferably 40 {C, which is higher than the first temperature set point, when the sensing output from the temperature sensor 2 exceeds a threshold value of for example 75{ C. The feature that the temperature set point is raised to a higher level when the temperature of the pump laser goes above a preset level reduces the amount of self-heating of the pump laser, and thus prevents a thermal runaway situation.

Patent GB-2464495-A (GB)
Title: Overlapping write requests using a write transaction
Inventor: FITZGERALD RICHARD
IPC: G06F13/10
Filed: 2008-10-16
Abstract: A device driver receives, from an upper layer, a write transaction comprising a start signal followed by one or more write requests each describing one or more writes to be made to a media device. The media driver issues write instructions to the media device corresponding to the write requests and receives from the media device the success or failure results of the associated writes. When all writes in the transaction have been completed, the media driver returns a success or fail result for the transaction to the upper layer. A fail signal may be returned as soon as a write instruction result indicates an error. The upper layer may be configured not to issue a new transaction until it has received the result of the previous transaction. The method allows the efficiency of write request overlapping to be combined with the ability to correct write errors when they occur.

Title: A local sewage processing unit
Inventor: CREFFIELD ALAN
IPC: E03F3/02
Filed: 2009-03-25
Abstract: A local sewage processing unit is provided that receives sewage from a local source of sewage 11, 12, 13 and 14 and extracts water from the received sewage in a processing section 21, 22, 23 and 24, so that the water is suitable for re-use. The unit comprises a pump 21a, 22a, 23a and 24a configured to pump sewage from a receiving section of the local sewage processing unit into a sewer network 40, leading to a central sewage treatment plant 41. The unit reduces the amount of sewage which is transferred to a sewer network, thereby reducing the environmental footprint of the sewer network. The processing section may comprise a holding tank (53 figure 1) configured to provide anaerobic processing of the sewage. A controller (61 figure 2) may be configured to operate the pump when one or more conditions are met. A later embodiment relates to a method of locally processing sewage using said local sewage processing units.

Abstract: 280,789. Remondy, L. E. Jan. 28, 1927, [Convention date]. Addition to 267,920. Projectile fuzes. - Relates to fuzes of the kind described in the parent Specification for bombs intended to be dropped from aircraft, and consists in holding the two-part cap C, D, Fig. 1, of the fuze at safe by means of a sleeve E of the kind described in Specification 233,262. The sleeve has a guideway for the eye portions C<1>, D<1> of the half-caps and is formed with a collar E<2> adapted to be engaged by a slide O, Fig. 2, provided with a keyway N, N<1> and mounted on the aircraft. If the slide is set so that the shoulder E<2> rests on the sides of the narrow part N<1> of the keyway when the bomb is dropped, the sleeve E is pulled away from the cap C, D, which opens out and arms the fuze. The half-caps C, D may be formed with lugs c<1>, d<1> which, after this arming operation, abut against the sleeve E and hold up the half-caps. On the other hand if the slide is set so that the collar E<2> is over the larger part N of the beyway when the bomb is dropped, the sleeve E drops with the bomb and the fuze remains unarmed. In a modification, instead of the keyway slide 0, a pair of rotatable horizontal bolts is used, which according to their setting hold up or release the shoulder E<2>.
