Title: Concentrating solar photovoltaic-thermal hybrid systems
Inventor: MICHEL BRUNO
IPC: F24S10/50
Filed: 2012-03-30
Abstract: The system 10 comprises: a hybrid solar receiver 20, having a photovoltaic module 21, operatively coupled to the system to deliver an electrical output power Po for a power user; and a thermal collector 22. The photovoltaic module and/or the thermal collector are movably mounted in the system. Thermal storage 42 is thermally connected to the thermal collector to store heat collected at the thermal collector and positioning unit 30 is adapted to move the photovoltaic module and/or the thermal collector. The positioning unit moves the photovoltaic module and/or the thermal collector to change a ratio of an intensity of radiation received at the photovoltaic module to an intensity of radiation received at the thermal collector. The system matches electrical power to demand and efficiency is increased by storing surplus energy thermally rather than electrically using a battery. The system further comprises a parabolic concentrating solar reflector.

If the device is not on the list, it may still be logged on, but only after a threshold number of logon messages have been received from it. The monitoring station may initiate the logon procedure by transmitting a non-addressed logon request that may be received by all portable devices in range.

IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2011-03-23
Abstract: A method of scanning secure data in a data store is performed in a manner that does not expose the scan data, the files being searched, or information about when matches occur between the scan data and the files. During the scan process, encrypted versions of searched files are compared to encrypted versions of match strings, and any resulting match data is encrypted before being written into a results file. In addition, to disguise when match entries are written, during the scan one or more encrypted dummy items are written into the results file.

Title: Mass spectrometry method and devcie for implementing same
Inventor: SAPARQALIYEV ALDAN ASANOVICH
IPC: G01N30/72
Filed: 2011-07-08
Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic analytical technique for determining the composition and structure of substances and, more specifically, to the field of analyzers comprising at least one mass spectrometer, and can be used in medicine, biology, the oil and gas industry, metallurgy, power engineering, geochemistry, hydrology and ecology. The technical result is that of increasing the resolving power of the mass spectrometer and the sensitivity, accuracy and speed with which the composition and structure of substances are measured, while at the same time increasing the functional capabilities and reducing the geometric dimensions and the mass of substance analyzers. In the mass spectrometry method, an ion flux is generated and controlled using a single-flux, off-axis method; in parallel, using a multi-flux method; using a three-dimensional field with a middle meridian surface, including a reflecting three-dimensional type and a reflecting two-zone type, or using multiple reflection arrays. Embodiments of devices for implementing the method are proposed, as are principle ion optical systems which make it possible to produce different types of mass spectrometers with lower material consumption and smaller geometric dimensions.

Title: Semi Automatic Oil Water Separator
Inventor: OWEN EDWARD GEORGE
IPC: B01D17/02
Filed: 2013-01-27
Abstract: A tank T settles, directs and concentrates liquids which are lighter than water, such as fats, oils and greases (FOGs), into a narrow corridor D by means of a series of baffles C, F. Suitably, a domed shaped sight glass E is attached to a side of the narrow corridor to enable the fats, oils and greases which are concentrated above the water level in the narrow corridor to be seen visually. Therefore, the amount of fats, oils and grease which is retained in the tank can be ascertained visually. A tap J can be provided to enable the fats, oils and greases concentrated in the narrow corridor to be drained out. Once it has been ascertained via the sight glass that sufficient fats, oil and grease are retained in the tank, the tap can be manually opened to drain the fats, oil and grease into a suitably positioned oil collection vessel.

Title: Torque application tool
Inventor: DURLING CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: B25B23/10
Filed: 2013-04-16
Abstract: The tool includes two torque application members 106 that are connected at a pivot axis (801, Figure 8) and respective first engagement portions (300, Figure 8) for engagement with angularly spaced castellations 110 on the nut. Two first links 101 are pivotally connected at second and third pivot axes (802, 803, Figure 8). A torque receiving formation 104 is connected to the torque application members at first and second connections thereby allowing the torque receiving formation to receive and transmit a torque to the torque application members via the first and second connections. The torque application members can, via the pivotal connections, vary their relative angular spacing to match the relative angular spacing of engaged castellations. The tool can eliminate uneven distribution of applied torque which may arise when using a conventional tool on a castellated nut due to machining tolerances in the nut. The nut may be a shaft nut for a gas turbine engine.

Title: Apparatus and method for a game with blockading game symbols
Inventor: KENESSEY NICOLAS
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2014-07-21
Abstract: An apparatus and method for playing a game having multiple outcomes and includes blockading game elements or symbols. The game involves forming winning combinations from combinations of symbols in a matrix using only accessible symbol positions. Achieving winning combinations of symbols among accessible symbols results in awards to players. The winning combinations of symbols are then removed from the matrix resulting in a new arrangement of accessible symbol positions. With reference to the drawing, initially only the symbols in reel 1 and reel 5 are accessible. The symbols in reels 2 to 4 become accessible when the symbols forming winning symbol combinations are removed from reels 1 and 5. The apparatus and method are offered on electronic gaming machines such as slot machines and video poker machines, but may also be deployed on other devices such as on a general purpose computing device or a mobile phone in stand-alone form or when connected to a network, such as the internet. A random number which provides the outcome of the game may be provided by a random number generator (RNG) that may be on-board or at a remote secure server.

IPC: G01R35/00
Filed: 2014-10-13
Abstract: A health monitoring and indication (HMI) system 1 for intermittent fault detection (IFD) test equipment 2 monitors, records and displays the IFD circuit boards' voltage and environmental parameters, e.g. temperature and humidity, that are necessary for correct functioning of the IFD test equipment 2. The HMI system 1 compares the voltage and environment inputs with stored baseline values in a memory 11 to provide a continuous visual indication of the test equipment's serviceability. Each parameter can be displayed on the IFD test equipment's screen 13 or can be downloaded via an external USB connection 15. Different colours may be used to indicate that the monitored parameters are normal, abnormal or, whilst normal at present, have been abnormal during the monitoring. A digital heartbeat signal 8 may also be monitored to check that the IFD is operating during the monitoring.
