Title: Assembly
Inventor: POTTER CHARLES DAVID OGILVY
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2006-02-07
Granted: 2008-01-23
Abstract: The invention relates to devices used in the fields of drag delivery or sampling. More particularly, it relates to a disposable assembly which is fitted to an actuator device which causes the skin piercing element to enter the skin to deliver a drug (or other substance) or take a sample. Preferably the assembly is “made safe” after actuation, such that the disposable assembly can't be reused and more preferably still the skin piercing element is safely housed in the assembly such that it does not constitute a “sharps” risk.

Patent GB-2456351-B (GB)
Title: Vehicle with in-wheel motor brake
Inventor: BOUGHTWOOD MARTIN
IPC: B60K7/00
Filed: 2008-01-14
Granted: 2013-02-27
Abstract: An electric vehicle having a hub motor in each wheel is disclosed. The motor of each wheel includes coils sets (44, 46, 48, fig.7) arranged to produce a magnetic field of the motor. The motor also includes a plurality of magnets (242, fig.3; fig.9). Each set of coils (44, 46, 48, fig.7) comprises a plurality of individually energised coils. Each individually energised coil may comprise more than one winding (74A, 74B, 74C, fig.8; fig.9). The motor also includes a plurality of control devices (80, fig.10), each device housed within the casing of the motor (80, fig.3) and connected to a respective individually energised coil. A common power connection links the control devices and a power source. Each wheel motor can provide regenerative braking. In braking mode, the control devices (80, fig.11) are arranged to switch their respective coils using pulse width modulation so that the current profile delivered by each control device (80) to the common power connection is offset in relation to that from other control devices. Full braking torque may thus be provided whilst avoiding current peaks on the common power connection. The redundancy in the design of the motor allows it to continue to provide both drive and braking torque even if some of the switching circuits fail. A dump resistor may also be incorporated and may be distributed around the wheel. DC plug braking may be used at very low speeds. A separate mechanical braking arrangement may not be needed.

Granted: 2014-01-08
Abstract: We describe a method of layer-by-layer deposition of a plurality of layers of material onto the wall or walls of a channel of a microfluidic device, the method comprising: loading a tube with a series of segments of solution, a said segment of solution bearing a material to be deposited; coupling said tube to said microfluidic device; and injecting said segments of solution into said microfluidic device such that said segments of solution pass, in turn, through said channel depositing successive layers of material to perform said layer-by-layer deposition onto said wall or walls of said channel. Embodiments of the methods are particularly useful for automated surface modification of plastic, for example PDMS (Poly(dimethylsiloxane)), microchannels. We also describe methods and apparatus for forming double-emulsions.

Abstract: The railway track structure has rails (6) arranged in pairs and, arranged transversely to the rails and connected thereto, sleepers (5) which bear with their end sections on a foundation plate (2) via elastic intermediate layers (7). Provided between the sleepers (5) are intermediate bodies (13) which are connected to the foundation plate (2). The intermediate bodies (13) which are made of concrete are designed as factory-finished elements. The cross-sectional contour of the intermediate bodies (13) is trapezoidal. The cheeks adjacent to the end sections of the sleepers (5) converge downwardly. The length of the intermediate bodies (13) is the same as or slightly smaller than the length of the sections of the sleeper (5) which project outwards seen from the rails (6). These intermediate bodies (13) are screwed together with the foundation plate. Elastic wedges (22) lie between the adjacent cheeks of the end sections of the sleepers (5) and the intermediate bodies (13). The intermediate bodies (13) are passed through by a vertical continuous bore, which lies in the central region, for receiving a fastening screw (9) which can be anchored in the foundation plate (2). The direct surrounding region of the vertical bore passing through the intermediate body (13) is sunk in relation to the surface of the intermediate body (13). <IMAGE>

Title: Expandable bobbin material
Inventor: GATTRUGERI STEFANO
IPC: B65H/
Filed: 1987-03-18
Granted: 1989-05-17
Abstract: The speed of mobile (10) in communication with a base (14) is determined by monitoring Rayleigh fading of the signal strength received from base in order to adjust a threshold level so that the threshold increases with decrease in mobile speed. If the median of the signal strength received at mobile (10) from another base (16) or (18) exceeds that received from base by more than the threshold level, a handoff request is issued. Rayleigh fading is monitored by detecting the rate at which the instantaneous signal strength received at mobile (10) from base (14) crosses the short-term median level of that signal, that rate being dependent on the maximum doppler frequency which increases with mobile speed. The median measuring time period may increase with decrease in the maximum doppler frequency.

Title: Intruder resistant door securing mechanism
Inventor: THEOFILOPOULOS ANGELOS
IPC: E06B/
Filed: 1982-09-14
Granted: 1987-01-07
Abstract: A strengthened closing plate assembly comprises one, two or three metal plates, or a square tube, fastened to the door frame. One or more pins in this come into contact with the door wing to guarantee silent closure. A securing mechanism for the latch comprises a pin inserted in a hole in the latch, to secure it from being opened. Release is effected by sliding a knob to the right. This is located in front of the pin, and releases an element caught in a curved notch in the pin. The released pin, under the influence of a compression spring, moves into its initial position, clearing the latch hole, and thus freeing the latch. Resistance to break-in is enhanced and rattling is prevented.
