Title: Auxiliary wheel structure for a wheelchair
Inventor: HUANG MING-YI
IPC: A61G5/06
Filed: 2007-01-30
Abstract: An auxiliary wheel structure 40 is disposed to a frame of an assistive mobility device such as a wheelchair or scooter and behind the front wheels 62 of the assistive mobility device, and includes a motor 41, a gear set, such as a worm gear 42, a pair of micro-switches 36,37 and an auxiliary wheel 38/60. The gear set is driven by the motor. The pair of micro-switches is disposed to an upper end and a lower end of the gear set respectively. The motor drives the gear set to control the height variation of the auxiliary wheel. When the gear set is moved up or down to touch the micro-switches, a signal is generated by the micro-switches to stop the running of the motor after the auxiliary wheel contacts the ground or is raised. The auxiliary wheel is lowered to raise the front wheels 62 off the ground so that the wheelchair can go over an obstruction 64, or to keep the seat horizontal when descending a hill.

Title: Batten support bracket
Inventor: SWINFIELD LEONARD WILLIAM
IPC: E04D12/00
Filed: 2007-02-01
Abstract: A bracket for joining adjacent roof tiling battens, which comprises two c-shaped retainers, one to secure each batten. The bracket also has two fixing holes which enable the bracket and battens retained therein to be fastened to a rafter or joist. The invention negates the need for nailing the battens directly to the rafter which often leads to the battens splitting at the ends. The bracket is manufactured from formed mild steel. The bracket provides an improved joint which is stronger and safer for persons working upon the battens when loading tiles or slates.

Title: Reducing pin count on an integrated circuit
Inventor: LESSO JOHN PAUL
IPC: G06F1/22
Filed: 2007-08-29
Abstract: The invention reduces pin count by a method of using time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques to enable a plurality of functions of an integrated circuit to be controlled on a single pin of said circuit. The method involves providing each function with a designated periodically recurring sampling instance, e.g. a timeslot, during which time the status of a signal on the single pin will relate to the function designated to that timeslot, and controlling each of the functions according to the status of signal during their corresponding timeslots. The invention may be applied to stereo audio digital-to-analogue conversion (DAC) circuitry or ADCs. For example, mute and de-emphasis functions may be controlled on a single pin MUTE_DEEM by de-multiplexing a combined mute/de-emphasis signal using two D-type flip-flops 400, 410, inverter 420 and left-right clock signal LRCK. The invention may also allow for zero detection (ZD) to be used on the combined MUTE_DEEM pin.

Title: Screening system and method for scanning a target for radioactive isotopes
Inventor: RAMSDEN DAVID
IPC: G01T1/167
Filed: 2008-01-08
Abstract: A screening system (102) for scanning a target for radioactive isotopes comprises a gamma-ray spectrometer comprising at least one scintillation body (201) for generating photons in response to incident gamma-rays, at least one photodetector (203) coupled to the respective scintillation body for detecting the photons and generating output signals therefrom, and a processing unit (106) for receiving the output signals from the photodetector(s). The screening system further comprises a drive mechanism (103) coupled to the gamma-ray spectrometer which is arranged to move the spectrometer relative to the target to perform a scan. The drive mechanism may be an electrically powered vehicle (e.g. fork-lift truck). The processing unit calculates energy loss spectra for incident gamma-rays at intervals along the target to identify radioactive isotopes present in the target from individual or combined spectra. Thus, a full spectroscopic analysis can be obtained for the target.

Title: Pressure gauge comprising two axially aligned pressure sensing gauges
Inventor: WAID MARGARET COWSAR
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2008-07-11
Abstract: A system for measuring pressure in a well borehole using two pressure sensing gauges 82, 84 that are exposed to an area of common pressure. Pressure measurements are made with preferably two pressure gauge assemblies 70a, 70b each containing a single pressure sensing gauge 82, 84. The two pressure gauge assemblies 70a, 70b are removably disposed within a receptacle or "pocket" 62 in the outer surface of a wall of a formation tester tool section 10a. When disposed or "side loaded" in the pocket 62, the gauges 82, 84 within the pair of assemblies 70a, 70b are axially aligned and positioned in a plane that is normal to the radius of the formation tester tool section 10a. Both pressure sensing gauges 82, 84 can be connected to respond to the same fluid pressure originating from a probe or port section of a formation tester tool 10a. By disposing the pressure gauge assemblies 70a, 70b in a receptacle or "pocket" 62 in the outer surface or wall of a formation tester tool section 10a, the pressure sensing gauges 82, 84 are exposed to wellbore fluids. Pressure sensing gauges 82, 84 are selected to have low mass. The low mass of the gauges 82, 84 and a cooperating heater assembly 66 allow the pressure gauges 82, 84 to rapidly thermally stabilize with changing temperatures in the wellbore.

Abstract: 1,078,597. Boots &c. B. SNEIDER. March 8, 1966 [April 6, 1965], No. 10094/66. Heading A3B. A shoe having an elastic insert 33 e.g. in the back strap of a backless shoe, has the edges of the insert 33 sandwiched between the upper 26 and the lining 20 which are joined together at their top edge by a roll-over seam 39. The insert 33 is assembled with the upper and lining when the upper is closed and during lasting the insert 33 is backed with non-stretchable material so that the upper can be tensioned during lasting. The non-stretchable material may be part of the upper or lining or a separate band of material, the non- stretchable material being removed after lasting. In a first embodiment a reinforcing band is adhered to a continuous lining and a continuous upper and a binding tape are stitched to the lining along their top edges, the outer surface of the upper being in face to face contact with the foot engaging surface of the lining. The upper is then cut away at the part to be occupied by the elastic insert and the ends of the elastic insert are stitched to the rear side of the lining. The upper is then folded over and secured to the rear side of the lining and insert to form the roll over seam and to sandwich the insert between the upper and lining. The assembly is then lasted and after lasting the lining is cut away from behind the insert to form the strap shown in Fig. 6. Alternatively the lining may be initially cut away leaving a continuous upper during lasting, or both may be cut away and a strap of inelastic material attached to the insert, the strip being removed after lasting.
