Title: A thin multimedia communication device and method
Inventor: STAFFORD-FRASER JAMES QUENTIN
IPC: G06F3/038
Filed: 2000-07-06
Granted: 2003-12-31
Abstract: A communication system comprises endpoint devices, each of which has one or more audio transducers 23 -26 and a touch screen 29, 31. The devices are connected by a network providing non-dedicated communication paths to servers. An application is resident in each of the servers and has the ability to affect the image displayed on at least part of the screen 29. The servers performs signaling for controlling an audio connection between the devices. The touch screens 29, 31 are interactive and are able to initiate the audio connection. The application allows the screen 29 or each screen of the devices participating in the audio connection to display the path of consecutive measured positions of a pointer 30 on the screen 29 from one or more of the connected devices. The screen 29 is able to display an image supplied by a remote server or other apparatus after the audio connection has been initiated. This can be used with broadband telephony.

Title: Improvements in and relating to everting tubes
Inventor: LIPPIATT RAYMOND
IPC: F16L55/165
Filed: 2000-07-31
Granted: 2004-09-08
Abstract: A tube 5 for eversion into a passageway 6 is formed with one or more circumferential folds (concertina folds) 7 along its length so arranged that on eversion of the tube into the passageway each portion is turned inside out. During the eversion the evened part 5c of the tube remains stationary while the non-evened 5d part of the tube advances along the passageway. An annular fold 5b between the everted and non-everted parts travels along the passageway and each concertina fold opens as it approaches the annular fold. The configuration of the folds, including shape, spacing and/or number per unit length may be varied in order to vary the rate of advancement of the non-everted part. The folds may be formed by a thermosetting process and are arranged to reform as the tube is withdrawn from the passageway. Each concertina fold may be maintained in its closed non-everted state by an adhesive composition or by a closely fitting sheath. The tube may be suitable for insertion into a tract of the human body.

Sidewalls extend upwardly from a periphery of the support surface to a generally uniform height above the support surface. Flanges extend from an upper edge of the sidewalls to form a generally planar rim. A drainage material is located on and generally coextensive with the turf tile support surface over the ribs. A mixture of root zone material and fiberous inclusions are located on the drainage layer and has a generally uniform thickness approximately equal to a height of the sidewalls. Grass roots are intertwined with the soil and fibers to form a grass turf tile bounded by the sidewalls, which is removable from the support surface. A method of providing a playing field from modular grass turf tiles is also provided.

To assemble the snaps into a bandolier, they are laid between projections (16, Fig. 3) and sandwiched between tapes (20, 22, Fig. 3) moved round on a cylindrical carrier (13, Fig. 3). Such a bandolier is fed to another cylindrical carrier (38, Fig. 6) and the leading snap is severed to drop between fingers (40, Fig. 6) of the carrier. Each snap is brought to the bottom of the carrier where a blank is raised so that the ends of the snap adhere to the blank. The blank with its snap is moved on underneath a tubular mandrel 50 which is lowered to bend the blank into U-section. Suction through apertures 51 in the mandrel retain the edge portions of the blank to the tube as they are successively bent over by arms 61 with rollers 65 to adhere together. The mandrel is then raised and the now cylindrical blank is removed by an endless belt 55 co-operating with the glued seam.

Title: Disintegrator with horizontal axis for deep dredging
Inventor: CUTTICA LUIGI
IPC: E02F/
Filed: 1990-05-30
Granted: 1994-05-26
Abstract: The disintegrator is used in dredges capable of deepening internal waters. It consists of a metal structure 1 that tilts around hinges 2 attached to the hull of the dredge and which supports in its lower part the aspiration tube 3 of the dredging pump. The distintegrator is arranged on the free end and consists of a cylinder on a horizontal axis 5 driven by its own motor 7 and bearing the blades 8 that dig into the section being dredged. This disintegrator, in addition to creating a dredge excavation of greater width than that obtainable with normal ring distintegrators, is capable of gripping the bottom and thus by its working rotation of advancing the dredge in the dredging zone; this avoids use of positioning anchors of the dredge and results in large savings of the cost of dredging operations. If the blades of the disintegrator are provided with pointed teeth and the disintegrator stands on the bottom by means of hydraulic pistons, it can also be used for breaking up rocky bottoms. <IMAGE>
