Title: Folding mechanism for a baby bed
Inventor: CHENG PAO-HSIEN
IPC: A47D7/00
Filed: 2007-01-05
Abstract: A moving joint of a folding baby bed has a pressing member 4 and a pair of stopping members 5 which are caused to rotate within a support part 3 after the initial release of a frame member 2 pivoted to the support part. The joint comprises: two connecting rods 2 of the bed frame pivotally mounted within a support part 3; a pressing member 4 mounted within the support part 3; and two stopping members 5 arranged to form a V-shape and normally engaging and preventing movement of the connecting rods [as shown in Figure 2]. The pressing member 4 is movable within the support part, and has a protrusion 45 on each side. Upon activation, the pressing member 4 causes the free ends of the stopping members to move closer together and allows the connecting rods to pivot [as shown in Figure 3]. As one of the connecting rods 2 pivots, its end 21 contacts the protrusion 45 of the pressing member 4 thus causing the pressing member and the stopping members to pivot. The arrangement allows the connecting rods to pivot to fold the bed without hindrance after the pressing member has been pressed one time.

Title: Audio reproducing apparatus that minimizes disturbance to others
Inventor: YOKOTA TEPPEI
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2007-01-15
Abstract: An audio reproducing apparatus includes the an output circuit operable to generate audio signals to be supplied to first 11SW1 and second speakers 11SW2 placed near the ears of a listener 4; and a detector operable to detect the presence of sound output from other speakers 11FL placed at positions further away from the listener than the first and second speakers. When it is determined that there is no sound output from the other speakers 11FL on the basis of a detection result obtained by the detector, the output circuit performs a control operation so that audio signals to be supplied to the other speakers are supplied to the first and second speakers. This reduces noise disturbance to others while still providing the same listening experience to the user. For example, to prevent disturbance to neighbours when viewing television programmes late at night.

Title: Dynamic damper
Inventor: REIMERS NILS
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2007-06-07
Abstract: A device for a tool (1) for use in drilling with a rotary drill bit (5), the purpose of the tool being to provide an axial movement (6) of the drill bit when the torque (4) exceeds a value given in advance. The drill bit is raised so that it is not damaged when the string is suddenly released following a jam. The tool is made up of two cylindrical string parts (8) and (16) connected through guide elements and seals (13) and (15). The string parts (8) and (16) are interconnected through spiral gearings (17) and (18). Relative rotation of the string parts (8) and (16) results in axial movement and compression of the spring (9) to a predetermined pre-tensioning.

Title: Waste receptacle with closable mouth
Inventor: FARISH ANDREW GRAHAM
IPC: B65F1/08
Filed: 2007-06-12
Abstract: A receptacle for waste, especially litter such as cigarette ends, has a housing 1 with a waste-insertion opening 2 and a liner 6. The liner 6 may be changed from a first in-use position (Fig. 1) to a second, sealed position (Fig. 2), where the opening 2 is closed by the liner to deny access to the receptacle. Such closure can be useful, for example, in the case of raised security. A second waste-insertion opening 3 may likewise be closed in the second position. Movement between the positions may be by unlocking a lock (10, Figures 4 and 6), lifting the liner, turning it through 180 degrees about a vertical axis and dropping it down again. The liner may comprise a plate 6A for stubbing out cigarettes. A lid 7 may be joined to the liner. The housing may have means 4, 5 for mounting to an upright such as a lamp post.

Title: Accessory to extend the length of a bed
Inventor: HOLMES NEVILLE TINSLEY
IPC: A47C19/04
Filed: 2007-08-14
Abstract: An accessory offers a solution to insufficient bed length and comprises extenders Y and a pillow support board X. To provide additional length, the extenders are fixed between the bed-base and the headboard and the pillow support board is fitted, preferably with Velcro G, to the top of the extenders so that it is level with the upper surface of the mattress. The extent E to which the extenders extend a bed may be of fixed or adjustable. The extenders are preferably formed form channel-shaped members, one in the case of a fixed width E and two cooperating in the case of the extendable width version (Figure 3). The extenders may be manufactured from metal or plastics. If manufactured from plastics both open ends of the channels may be closed and reinforcing (P2, figure 7) provided to improve rigidity. Positioning of the Velcro when the board is in position may form a clamp to hold firmly in position the bed under-sheet and, to assist firm holding, clips may be provided, held in grooves and positioned near the outer edges of the pillow support board.
Patent GB-2442353-A (GB)
Title: Arrangement and method for detecting low material concentrations
Inventor: GUMBRECHT WALTER
IPC: G01N27/00
Filed: 2007-09-28
Abstract: Avoiding problems caused by base line drift in sensor based measurements. Instead of measuring a signal increase in a detection space measurements in sensor based detection is performed by enriching the detectable product (analyte), allowing a specific period of time to elapse (enrichment phase) and then measuring a first detection signal and then measuring the base line signal as a second detection signal only after flushing out the detection space and removing the enriched product. The detection of the enriched product is consequently brought about not by a signal increase relative to a base line, but by a signal difference between the first and second detection signal. This method may be applied, for example, to measurements performed using an electrochemical sensor.

Title: Formation evaluation method using high voltage compact x-ray generator
Inventor: WRAIGHT PETER DAVID
IPC: G01V5/12
Filed: 2007-06-26
Abstract: A method for determining the density and other properties of a formation surrounding a borehole uses a high voltage x-ray generator. The x-ray generator is a stable compact x-ray generator capable of providing radiation with energy of 250keV and higher while operating at temperatures equal to or greater than 125{C. The x-ray generator comprises high voltage generators (302, 304, Fig 3) connected to electron emitter (314), and target (307) respectively. The high voltage generators (302, 304, Fig 3) are folded to minimize the length of the tube. Radiation 708 is passed from an x-ray generator 706 into the formation; reflected radiation is detected by a short spaced radiation detector 704 and a long spaced radiation detector 702. The output of these detectors is then used to determine the density of the formation. In one implementation, a reference radiation detector (812, Fig.8) monitors a filtered radiation signal. The output of this detector is used to control at least one of the acceleration voltage and beam current of the x-ray generator.
