Title: Method of accessing an ad hoc wireless network
Inventor: KIM JUN-WHAN
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2004-05-26
Abstract: A method for wireless LAN communication using multiple channels is provided. An ATIM containing channel information is generated when there is data to be sent, and the ATIM is transmitted via a main channel after a predetermined period of time. When a station loses a channel reservation competition, the station generates and transmits via the main channel another ATIM containing channel information regarding another channel to be used from data transmission. The station then performs channel switching to the other channel corresponding to the channel information, transmits the data via the other channel, and switches the channel back to the main channel at the time of a subsequent beacon.

Patent GB-2417049-A (GB)
Title: Self-priming pump
Inventor: NEATE DAVID NICHOLAS
IPC: F04D9/02
Filed: 2004-08-10
Abstract: A self-priming pump comprises first and second non-rotating side plates 15,18 located either side of a rotor 16. During priming, or when the pump is stopped, the side plates 15,18 are biased by a spring 23 towards a position where they have a close clearance with the rotor 16. In this position, the relative axial spacing of the side plates 15,18 is closer than their spacing during normal operation. On resuming normal operation, internal pressure causes the side plates 15, 18 to be moved apart, against the force of the spring 23, and their clearances from the rotor 16 are increased. One of the side plates may be fixed, while the rotor 16 and other side plate are able to move axially relative to the fixed side plate. The arrangement is said to provide a self-priming pump, such as a side channel pump, which has close clearances between side plates and a rotor during priming and larger clearances during normal operation to prevent erosion of wearing surfaces by particles in a working fluid such as sea water.

Title: Dispensing valve
Inventor: EVERITT DAVID GEOFFREY
IPC: F16K41/10
Filed: 2004-10-05
Abstract: A dispensing valve has a resiliently deformable sleeve (35) mounted between a valve closure member (28) and a portion of the valve housing (10). The sleeve is located around a tubular actuating rod (72) connected to an actuating piston (70) which is movable by means of fluid pressure. The actuating rod (72) and the tubular sleeve (35) are both mounted around a valve actuating rod (38) connected to the valve closure member (28) and which is itself secured to a valve actuating piston (40) which also forms the cylinder for the actuating piston (70). By coordinating the movement of the actuating piston (70) and the valve actuating piston (40), a narrowed waisted portion (35w) of the tubular sleeve can be expanded radially outwardly by an enlarged head portion (72a) of the tubular rod (72) to reduce the effective diameter of a valve chamber (C). In this way the valve can be closed with the sleeve (35) in its expanded condition. The sleeve can then be allowed to contract radially inwardly when the valve is closed in order to apply a partial vacuum to the valve outlet (20) to prevent formation of drips.
