Title: Exercise monitoring and power supply control device
Inventor: KEOHANE MARCUS EDWARD PATRICK
IPC: A63B24/00
Filed: 2008-11-14
Abstract: A device comprising a monitoring unit 6 on the user that communicates data to another device which supplies power 1 to at least one other electrical device for a period of time related to the prior activity of the user sensed by the monitoring unit. The monitoring device can communicate 11 with the power supply device using a USB cable, fibre optic cable, wireless, Infra-red, Bluetooth (RTM), radio frequency or mobile telephony. The monitoring unit can be remote from the power supply device and the level of activity recorded on the remote unit grants the user the authority to benefit from the supply of electricity via the power supply time-regulated device. The user is then able to make use of any electrical device which requires mains electrical power for the regulated period of time. Preferably the power supply time-regulated device will have a lockable 4 compartment 5 housing mains electricity sockets 3 for the other peripheral device(s).

Title: Apparatus and method for cleaning the interior of a pipe
Inventor: SMITH KEVIN JAMES
IPC: B08B9/043
Filed: 2008-12-30
Abstract: A cleaning assembly for cleaning an internal surface of a pipe, such as a section of water main, has a flexible hose fitted with a cleaning head 3 at one end, the cleaning head 3 having a sealing member or bladder 3 configured or configurable to form a sliding seal across said pipe. Flowing fluid through the hose is used to set up a pressure difference across the sealing member 3 to urge the cleaning head 3 along the pipe section so that the cleaning head 3 can wipe deposited material from the pipes inner face. Methods for the use of the assembly allow cleaning with reduced risk of removed material re-depositing downstream and the water originally in the pipe section may be used for the cleaning process and replaced during or after cleaning.

Title: One trip well drilling to total depth
Inventor: BENNETT RICHARD M
IPC: E21B29/10
Filed: 2005-06-16
Abstract: A method for drilling to total depth, through a formation that requires isolation, without having to pull the drill pipe from the well and without using a surface lubricator comprises encountering a formation that requires isolation while drilling the well and delivering at least one isolation device over drill pipe when the drill pipe is already in the wellbore. The formation is isolated with the isolation device without removal of the drill pipe from the well and clearance provided around the drill pipe while the drill string rotates The formation isolation ma be achieved by using a material that reverts to a former shape following a temperature stimulus.

The slots 16 are straight and end in notches 16<1>, and the slots 15 are in part straight and in part circular, so that when the frame is withdrawn bv a straight line movement so far that the studs 19 reach the slots 16<1>, further movement is of a pivotal nature about the studs 19, and the whole assembly is finally in the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the studs 18 then rest in the notches 15<1>. In the operative position the assembly is held in place by latch arms 28 with notches engaging studs 31 on the fixed end plates, but the latches are released by other studs 32 on upward movement of the assembly. The guides 21 may be slotted where they register with the pins 12. In a modification, Figs. 8 and 10, the fingers 21 are adjustably secured to a slotted bar 33 provided at each end with discs 35 formed with central holes for engagement over studs 37 projecting from fixed mounting plates 38. One disc 35 may be engaged over a stud 37 and then moved reversely in an axial direction to engage the other stud. The heads are then secured by latch arms 39, which when released permit withdrawal of the disc 35 and with them the bar 33 and guides 21. The guides are held in operative position by the engagement of depending ears 40 on the underside of the bar 33 with studs 41 projecting from the mounting plates 38.

Abstract: 475,032. Television. CONDLIFFE, G. E. April 9, 1936, No. 10429. [Class 40 (iii)] Each frame of a continuously moving film 8 is scanned by an image 9 of one set of lines in one position and subsequently by an image 10 of another set of lines, which is so displaced in the direction of motion 12 of the film relatively to the first image as to cause the second set of lines scanned on the film to interlace with the first set. An obturator 11 obstructs the image 10, while permitting the other 9 to fall on the film, and then obstructs the latter while the former falls on the same area of the film after it has traversed a distance equal to the longitudinal displacement of the positions of scanning. Alternatively, the images are projected continuously and photo-sensitive cells, which are energized by light incident on the areas scanned, are alternatively operative. The scanning-lines are traced by a cathode-ray on a field 7, two images of which are formed in the plane of the film by mirrors 5, 6.

Aminoanthraquinones.-Halogen atoms in the 1-position are removed from halogenated aminoanthraquinones by treating them with alkaline reducing agents, the leuco body formed being subsequently oxidized. As reducing agents, metals, hydrosulphites and glucose, in solutions of hydroxides of alkali or alkaline earth metals, are specified. The products may be purified by recrystallization from an organic solvent or by precipitation from their solutions in sulphuric acid. In examples, (1) 2-aminoanthraquinone is chlorinated in nitrobenzene solution, and the 1 : 3-dichlor-2-aminonanthraquinone formed is boiled with a solution of caustic soda and sodium hydrosulphite; air is then passed through the solution to precipitate 2-amino-3- chloranthraquinone, which is purified by dissolving in concentrated sulphuric acid, adding water to precipitate the sulphate, and hydrolyzing the latter by boiling with water, (2) 2-amino-3- chloranthraquinone is also obtained (a) by reducing 1 : 3-dichlor-2-aminoanthraquinone with caustic potash and glucose, (b) by reducing 1-brom- 2-amino-3-chloranthraquinone with a solution containing lime and sodium hydrosuphite, and (c) by reducing 1-brom-2-amino-3-chloranthraquinone with caustic soda solution and zinc dust; in each case the leuco bodies first formed are oxidized by passing air through the solutions, and (3) 2-aminoanthraquinone is obtained by reducing 1-chlor-2-aminoanthraquinone with a solution of caustic potash and glucose and passing air through the solution to oxidize, the leuco compound.

Abstract: 431,537. Converting magnesium vapours. OESTERREICHISCH AMERIKANISCHE MAGNESIT AKT.-GES., Radenthein, Carinthia, Austria. April 7, 1934, No. 10555. Convention date, April 7, 1933. [Class 82 (i)] In the condensation of magnesium vapours from gases consisting of or containing carbon monoxide, the vapours are quickly cooled by direct contact with a liquid indifferent to magnesium and adapted to protect the magnesium from chemical reaction down to a temperature at which a reaction between the magnesium and the carbon monoxide no longer takes place, e.g. room temperature. Cooling liquids, such as hydrocarbon oils which are capable of wetting the magnesium powder, are used. The magnesium vapours mixed with carbon monoxide are led by a pipe 4 from a furnace and impinge on a thin film of oil which is fed by nozzles 3 on pipes 2 and passes down a plate 1. A cooling chamber 6 is provided at the back of the plate 1, inlet and outlet pipes 8, 9 being provided for the entry and exit of the water circulating therein. The chamber 6 is of narrow cross-section and is provided with a baffle 7. Wings 13, 14 on the plate prevent the splashing of oil and the mixture of oil and magnesium flows out through an opening 12 into a receptacle below. In a modification, the magnesium vapours may flow into a freely falling curtain of oil or the oil may be atomized or injected in finely divided form into the vapours.
