Patent GB-0526039-D0 (GB)
Title: Low power mode operation in a computing device
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: A method of operating a computing device so as to conserve power comprises restricting access to applications and functionality in dependence upon the power level available from a power resource in the device. The power source may be a battery, solar, photovoltaic or any electrical source. Applications are categorised according to their essential nature to the operation of the device or on a continuous scale reflecting their importance to the device. This categorisation may be user led, provided by the operating system or the component manufacturers. In use the device obtains the current level of power. On the basis of the power level access to applications or functionality is restricted. In a further step applications currently running may be shut down when the power level drops below a predetermined level.

Title: Optical sampling arrangements
IPC: G01N21/03
Filed: 2006-09-22
Abstract: An infra-red liquid sampling cell has a sapphire base plate with a part-spherical concave recess. A sapphire upper plate is hinged relative to the base plate larger radius of curvature than the recess. When the upper plate is lowered into contact with the base plate its convex surface contacts the liquid sample thereby excluding air bubbles and, when in contact with the edge of the recess, produces a well-defined sample thickness. An infra-red source directs radiation down through both plates and the liquid sample to a detector.

Patent GB-0814620-D0 (GB)
Title: An electromechanical arrangement
Filed: 2008-08-12
Abstract: Electromechanical arrangements are utilised widely whereby a prime mover in the form of a mechanical assembly such as a gas turbine engine is utilised to drive an electrical machine as an electrical generator. Unfortunately the loads applied to the electrical generator may vary creating oscillation across phases of the electrical generator. Such oscillations generally will be translated to the mechanical assembly in the form of torque oscillations which may cause stressing. Stressing of the mechanical assembly will reduce its life and may alter its performance as well as fuel consumption. By provision of appropriate mechanisms for balancing electrical loads across an electrical machine as well reducing the time decay period for stored charge within an electrical assembly associated with an electrical machine it is possible to reduce torque oscillations as presented to the mechanical assembly and therefore improve its operational performance.

Title: Valves
Filed: 2009-04-08
Abstract: A flow control valve (1) primarily for water flowing to or from an ablutionary appliance has a diaphragm valve member movable between open and closed positions in response to a differential pressure across the diaphragm (7). The pressure differential is controlled by a piston (17) that is axially movable to open and close a hole (15) in the diaphragm (7). Axial movement of the piston (17) is controlled by a pair of shape memory alloy wires (45,47) that reduce in length when heated. One wire (45) is operable to move the piston to open the hole (17) and allow the diaphragm (7) to move to the open position. The other wire (47) is operable to move the piston to close the hole (17) and allow the diaphragm (7) to move to the closed position. The wires (45,47) are heated alternately to open and close the valve (1). The valve (1) may be combined with the ablutionary appliance or separate therefrom.

Title: Hop extracts
IPC: C12C3/08
Filed: 1984-08-06
Abstract: alpha -Acids are extracted from a crude hop extract (which is itself obtainable from hops by extraction with liquid carbon dioxide) by boiling a mixture of the crude extract with an aqueous alkali, the alkali being present to no more than a slight excess, to form an aqueous layer containing the extracted  alpha -acids and an organic layer containing  beta -acids, which layers are then separated from one another.

Patent GB-9802473-D0 (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus to detect the presence of water on a surface
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1998-02-06
Abstract: A water detecting apparatus includes a source of infra-red radiation which is reflected off an inner surface of a pipe wall onto a mirror directing the infra-red signal along a path to an infra-red detector connected by an electrical signal path to an electronic control. The path is interrupted by a rotating chopper having windows occupied by two optical filters. The first optical filter only passes an infra-red signal of wavelength 1900 nm which is absorbed by water, while the second optical filter only passes an infra-red signal of wavelength 2200 nm, another wavelength absorbed by water, but not to the same extent as the 1900 nm wavelength. The 2200 nm wavelength serves as a reference signal. When the strength of the infra-red signal path by the first optical filter decreases in relation to the strength of the infra-red reference signal path by the second optical filter, this is due to water on the surface absorbing the 1900 nm wavelength more than the 2200 nm wavelength, and the electronic control causes an indicator to indicate the presence of the water.
