Title: Body parameter detecting sensor and method for detecting body parameters
Inventor: ROCHE MARTIN
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 2007-10-03
Abstract: A method for detecting biometric parameters includes the steps of performing a bone graft procedure on a vertebra of a spine, providing a biometric sensor (1-9) at the vertebra (10,20), and measuring a biometric parameter at the vertebra with the sensor. The sensor is capable of measuring parameters in an adjacent surrounding including pressure, tension, shear, relative position, and vascular flow. Data relating to the biometric parameter is transmitted to an external source and the data are analyzed to evaluate a biometric condition of the vertebra. A set of the sensors can be placed on transverse processes (70) of the vertebra.

Title: Monitoring structure health by comparing actual sensor responses with simulated sensor responses generated by functional models
Inventor: IHN JOENG-BEOM
IPC: G01N29/44
Filed: 2008-08-15
Abstract: A method for structural health monitoring, especially in a vehicle such as an aircraft, comprises sending 800 a signal into the structure using a transmitter. The signal has a frequency range that falls within a selected frequency range to form a transmitted signal. An actual response to the transmitted signal is received 802 at a sensor. A simulated response of the sensor to the transmitted signal is generated 804 using a functional model. The functional model represents the structure in a desired condition without any defects, and includes transfer functions which generate a simulated output from a particular sensor in response to an input from a particular transmitter. The simulated response is compared 806 to the actual response to determine if a change has occurred in the structure. By simulating baseline sensor response data from transfer functions rather than storing actual baseline response data, the amount of data stored is reduced.

Title: Launching applications by executing two operations at the same time
Inventor: LOVELL THOMAS
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2008-11-27
Abstract: In a computing device comprising a processor for launching applications, an application has an associated first operation which is processor intensive, and an associated operation which is not first processor intensive. The device is arranged to execute both said operations such that a part of one operation occurs at the same time as a part of the other operation. Preferably, the processor intensive operation is the launching of an application, such as a web browser, a BluetoothRTMexecutable, or a WIFIRTMexecutable, and the operation that is not processor intensive relates to the establishment of an appropriate communications channel. The invention reduces the time taken for a user to access the functionality provided by the application, as the connection is established by the time that the application has loaded. Each executable may be provided as a preloader plugin, or in a pre-loader framework comprising a registry of applications.

Title: Spent nuclear fuel reprocessing methods
Inventor: MIZUGUCHI KOJI
IPC: G21C19/46
Filed: 2009-05-29
Abstract: A spent fuel reprocessing method comprises: dissolving the spent fuel in a nitric acid solution; reducing the plutonium within the solution to a trivalent state; collecting uranium oxide by bringing the fuel into contact with an organic solvent and extracting hexavalent uranium by means of an extraction agent; and causing the minor actinides and fissure products remaining in the nitric acid solution to precipitate together as oxalic acid precipitate. In a first embodiment, the oxalic acid precipitate is converted into chlorides by adding hydrochloric acid; anhydrous chlorides are then produced by dehydrating the chlorides in a flow of inert gas; before the anhydrous chlorides are dissolved into molten salt. Alternatively, in a second embodiment (see Figure 3), the oxalic acid precipitate is dehydrated and converted into precipitate oxides in an oxidation atmosphere; before being immersed in a mixture of molten salts of chlorides of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals. Uranium, plutonium and minor actinides are subsequently collected by electrolysis.

Title: Bicycle parking cradle for caravans
Inventor: CULLEN JOHN MARTIN
IPC: B60D1/58
Filed: 2009-10-22
Abstract: Most touring caravans have an A frame chassis at the front equipped with a hitch to tow the caravan with, this hitch accommodates a standard 50mm tow ball attached to the towing vehicle. A bicycle parking cradle uses this hitch to accommodate the 50mm fixing ball integrated as part of the bike cradle to the caravan. It provides a safe place to store bikes when not in use while out with the caravan on site, children especially leave their bikes flat on the ground they have no where to put them, it also discourages people to lean against and damage the soft aluminium side of the Caravan. It is simple to use, once in situ the bike cradles can be set to the right, left or in front of the caravan hitch. Most hitch locks now have a built in stabiliser and when this is set it holds the ball tight and prevents movement to the bike rack. The security for the caravan is increased, the hitch is engaged and locked with the parking cradles ball engaged. To use the hitch, the bike cradles must be first removed.

Title: A process of manufacturing motor fuels of high anti-knock value
IPC: C10L1/12
Filed: 1936-04-06
Abstract: Metal carbonyl hydrides are obtained by reacting carbon monoxide with aqueous alkaline suspensions or solutions of iron or cobalt cyanide at ordinary or raised temperature and pressure to form an alkali salt of the carbonyl hydride, acidifying, and removing the volatile hydride in a stream of nitrogen or other inert medium.  The iron or cobalt cyanide may be replaced by the thioglycollate, cobalti - hexacyanide, or mercaptide.  Metal carbonyl hydride derivatives are obtained from the hydride. Thus, Hg[Co(CO)4]2 is precipitated when cobalt carbonyl hydride is led through an aqueous 6 per cent solution of mercuric chloride.ALSO:Motor spirit.--The anti-knock value of motor fuel is raised by adding the fuel-soluble esters, metal salts, or other derivatives of cobalt carbonyl hydride or of iron carbonyl hydride.  For example, such a quantity of the mercury salt of cobalt carbonyl hydride Hg[Co(CO)4]2 as contains 0,2 lb. of cobalt is added to 100 lb. of benzine.  Metal carbonyl hydrides may be obtained by reacting carbon monoxide with aqueous alkaline suspensions or solutions of iron or cobalt cyanide at ordinary or raised temperature and pressure to form an alkali salt of the carbonyl hydride, acidifying, and removing the volatile hydride in a stream of nitrogen or other inert medium.  The iron or cobalt cyanide may be replaced by the thioglycollate, cobaltihexacyanide, or mercaptide.  Metal carbonyl hydride derivatives are obtained from the hydride.
