Title: Embossed cloth with magnets
Inventor: ARAI YOSHINOBU
IPC: A61N2/08
Filed: 2007-11-26
Abstract: An assembly comprises a cloth 10 which is subjected to an embossing process to form a receiving portion 12, a magnet 20 or solid piece received inside the receiving portion, and an adhesive material 30. The adhesive material 30 is received inside the receiving portion 12 and bonded to an inner peripheral surface of the receiving portion 12 while plugging the opening of the receiving portion, so as to fix the magnet 20 inside the receiving portion. The cloth may be used for a garment so that the magnet may lie next to the skin of a wearer (fig. 4) and have a therapeutic blood flow facilitatory effect. The cloth may be embossed by placing it on a base (60 fig. 9) with a concave portion and covered with an underlay of e.g. denim (70 fig. 9) and pressing a convex pressing member (80 fig. 9) against the cloth. After embossing the magnet 20 may be placed in the receiving portion and adhesive 30 may be dripped into the receiving portion 12 to secure the magnet and plug the receiving portion

Title: Route Guidance System
Inventor: SOLOMON JEFFREY
IPC: G01C21/36
Filed: 2004-10-25
Abstract: A route guidance system comprising an in- vehicle device and a central route advisory system in which the in-vehicle device comprises audio and visual units which provide instructions, e.g. pictographs, to a user to perform manoeuvres required to complete an optimal route. The optimal route is determined by the central route advisory system using real-time and historical traffic data acquired from monitored routes together with static typical traffic information acquired from non- monitored routes and transmitted by the central route advisory system to the in-vehicle device in response to a route request from the user to the central route advisory system to a specified destination. A call line identity of a user's device can be received at the advisory system and the user's current position may be determined by a dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) transmission. A traffic forecasting model may be used to determine an optimal route.

Title: Flushing valve
Inventor: BELL THOMAS HENRY
IPC: E03D1/30
Filed: 2008-10-03
Abstract: A flushing valve 2 suitable for reducing water wastage from the cistern 1 of a toilet comprises an inlet valve 3, an outlet valve 4 and a timer valve 5. The timer valve 5 is mechanically connected to both the inlet valve 3 and the outlet valve 4 so as to control their movement between open and closed positions such that the timer valve prevents both the inlet and outlet valves from simultaneously being in their open positions. The flushing valve thus prevents the cistern from refilling until after the flush process is complete. This enables a significant reduction in the volume of water passing through the cistern during each flushing cycle.

Title: Gasification of biomass
Inventor: PIKE DAVID
IPC: B01D47/06
Filed: 2008-12-15
Abstract: Energy is obtained from biomass by subjecting it to gasification in a down-flow gasification reactor, treating the gas stream by passage through a filter and a heat exchanger, and using the resulting gas stream as fuel for an engine. The filtered gas stream is also subjected to a scrubbing stage using an aqueous or organic liquid in a fluidic vortex gas/liquid contactor without moving parts, and this preferably uses a hydrocarbon of biological origin (e.g. biodiesel) . The biomass may also be combined with an alkaline material or a precursor therefor (e.g. chalk), prior to the gasification, to suppress formation of acid gases. The combustion characteristics of the fuel gas may be enhanced by the injection of biodiesel or bioethanol. The biomass may be waste wood that is contaminated with plastic or paint.

Title: Securing permanent magnets to a laminated rotor
Inventor: JAYASOMA SUJITHA
IPC: H02K1/27
Filed: 2009-03-20
Abstract: A rotor 100 having a first plurality of laminates 110, each including a first plurality of peripheral protrusions 120, and a second plurality of laminates 110', comprising a second plurality of peripheral protrusions 120', the first and second arranged differently around a shaft hole 132 from each other. The protrusions may be asymmetric (figs 2a,b) or may be angularly offset (figs8,9). The rotor further has a plurality of magnets 115, each inserted between the lateral surface of first and second plurality of protrusions, wherein reactive forces operate to hold the plurality of magnets, the reactive forces being caused by deformations of the first and second plurality of protrusions, the deformations enabled based on the insertion of the magnet and the asymmetry of the first and second plurality of protrusions, and/or angular offset between the first and second plurality of protrusions. In respect of angular offset, the retaining force on the magnets is achieved by loosely inserting magnets between the projecting rows and inserting an alignment tool into bores 165,165' which caused the laminations to relatively rotate (offset a,β fig 8,9) as the hole align, moving the protrusions in opposite directions to grip the magnets. Alternatively rotation may be effected by a key engaging a key way formed in the lamination wall of the shaft hole 132, the key way being offset between the first and second lamination type.
