Title: Dispensing container with support member
Inventor: GORDON MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: A47K5/06
Filed: 2011-03-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a support member and dispensing container assembly for gels or liquids. A support member 51 rigidly attaches to a support structure. A free standing, self contained, fully sealed 'squeeze to use' dispensing container 1 for gels or liquids has first and second ends 2A,2B and features a dispensing aperture 3 at the first end of the container to dispense product. Container 1 is connected to and released from the support member 51 solely by holding and manipulating the container relative to the support member. The engagement means comprises a first component at a mid section along the length of the dispensing container and a second component of the support member 51. The component releasably interlocks with the second component by rotating the container at right angles to the axis of the length of the dispensing container in a first direction relative to the support member so as to provide a substantially rigid interlock between the container and support member, and the first component releasing from the support member by rotating the container relative to the support member in a second opposite direction. In use, the support member orientates the dispensing container in an inverted state with the first end 2a facing downwards and enables the user unrestricted access to the sides of the container to enable product to be squeezed from the container.

Title: Overload handling of messages with importance ratings, possibly dependent upon messages stage in connection setup
Inventor: LEVY NOA
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2011-04-15
Abstract: The invention discloses a system wherein messages are assigned a priority level and which activates congestion processing when the network is overloaded. Under overload conditions message importance levels are compared and lower importance messages are throttled or dropped. The importance levels may also be compared to threshold levels to determine whether to discard them. The invention is particularly applied to establishing a session/connection using SIP. This can involve multiple rounds of message exchange and the system assigns higher significance to messages further into the process (eg. INVITE Alice (Termdone) > INVITE Alice (Origdone) > INVITE Alice). Hence messages are more likely to be dropped early in the setup process and service busy/unavailable messages will be delivered with minimal delay. Importance levels may also be assigned dependent upon the amount of resources required by the connection associated with the SIP message.

Patent GB-2501298-A (GB)
Title: Approximating electronic document last reading position
Inventor: ARGENT DANIEL JOHN
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2012-04-19
Abstract: A method for approximating the final reading position in an electronic document such as an e-book comprises first establishing a reading speed of the reader of the e-book, which reading speed is used to approximate the final reading position on the most recently displayed page of the e-book, for instance by measuring how long the page has been displayed for and using the reading speed and this time period to obtain an approximate final reading position and the most recently displayed page. The final reading position is stored for retrieval by a computer adapted to display the electronic document. The approximated final reading position may be typically displayed in a defined region of the display screen of the computer for example in the mid-centre of the display screen as this maximises the amount of text before and after the approximated final reading position that is in this initial view. Estimating the final reading position may include detecting a signal (e.g. generated by a power button, a motion sensor indicating that the user has stopped reading, detecting the closure of a cover, detecting if the user has put down the computer) indicating that the user has interrupted reading the electronic document.

Title: Management of dormancy timers in wireless communications
Inventor: MARTIN BRIAN ALEXANDER
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2012-08-10
Abstract: A mobile terminal and base station may transmit and receive data from one another via a wireless network. When the mobile terminal is preparing to end a data transmission operation, the terminal may communicate this to the base station via an end of data signal. When the base station receives the communication and completes transmission to the mobile terminal, the base station may send a signal to the mobile terminal indicating that the mobile terminal should proceed directly to a dormancy (DRX) state, bypassing one or more inactivity timers. Direct transition to a DRX state without waiting for an inactivity timer to expire leads to improved power conservation. In one embodiment the mobile station may unilaterally enter a DRX state without performing the handshake process. The mobile station may transition to a longer DRX cycle bypassing the inactivity timer and an intermediate shorter DRX cycle.

Title: Fluted cutter element and method of application
Inventor: TAMEZ REUBEN L
IPC: E21B10/46
Filed: 2011-02-25
Abstract: The present application presents a cutter element fabricated from a material harder than the surface to be cut having a fluted cube that continuously presents an acute angle to the cutter edge thereby prolonging the wear of the cutter as the cutter element wears. Six-sides of the cutter element can provide four, five or six fluted sides and the flutes can be parallel on opposing sides or could provide perpendicular flutes on each of the four, five or six sides. In an alternative embodiment, two of the six sides of the cube can be concave thereby providing a chip breaker indentation in the cube to remove cuttings from the surface being scrapped or cut.

Title: Methods
Inventor: AL-LAMEE KADEM GAYAD
IPC: B29C48/09
Filed: 2012-09-24
Abstract: A tube suitable for use in a stent is disclosed, comprising a polymeric material having a wall thickness between 75 and 150 microns. Optionally, the tube has a tensile modulus from 2500 to 6000 MPa and a tensile yield strength from 90 to 600 MPa. Preferably the polymer is bioresorbable or biodegradable and the breakdown products are biocompatible. The polymeric material may been orientated by die drawing with a mandrel or die such that it is orientated in the axial and radial directions of the tube. Also disclosed is a method of producing a tube suitable for a stent. An orientable thermoplastic polymer tubing is deformed by drawing it over a mandrel 3 and/or through a die 5. A drawing mechanism 6 applies a drawing tension to the tubing, said tension being insufficient to cause tensile failure but sufficient to deform the tubing. The tube is thereby drawn over a mandrel 3 or through a die 5 to induce uniaxial or biaxial orientation of the polymer. The deformed tubing is then collected from the exit end/side of the mandrel 3 or die 5.

IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2012-11-12
Abstract: A network comprises a number of client devices 1, a data store 3, and at least one source of program data 5. The data store contains identification data for the client devices, and source data identifying the sources of program data for those devices. The client device communicates with the data store, providing the identification data associated with the client device; the data store returning the associated source data. The client device then communicates with the identified source to download program data from the source. The arrangement allows the client device to locate and install applications, software or configurations specific to the device or the organisation it is associated with, in order to repair corrupted data by reinstalling the program even when remote from the source of the program. The method may be incorporated into the BIOS of the client devices. Authentication mechanisms may be employed as part of the communication with the source.
