Title: Portable Dog Excrement Retainer
Inventor: NOBLE IAN
IPC: A01K23/00
Filed: 2010-09-07
Abstract: A portable dog excrement retainer 1.6 comprising a foot pedal 1.1, two teeth gripped clamp members 1.2, torsion springs, snap fit hooks 1.3, a disposable dog waste bag and a retainer frame. The retainer frame is square shaped and pocket sized. The waste bag attaches to the top of the frame and is sealed through the adjoining of the two teeth gripped clamp members. The clamp members are operated through a rectangular foot pedal attached to the front of the retainer frame which when pressure is exerted, releases a torsion spring mechanism which raises the clamp members vertically from the device and snaps them together, sealing the disposable waste bag. When the device is not in use, snap fit hooks are partially affixed to the retainer frame to keep the clamp members in a horizontal position.

Title: Stackable wire mesh oven tray
Inventor: UNWIN GUY DARELL
IPC: A21B3/13
Filed: 2010-10-29
Abstract: An oven tray 1 comprises handles 6 at either end which rotate around a rod forming a frame 3 of the tray. When folded outward, multiple trays can be stacked together for storage (fig.1), and the handles 6 may be used for lifting of individual trays. When folded inward against a vertical wall of the tray, the handle provides a horizontal support (12, Fig.2) for a second tray so that more than one tray of foodstuff can be cooked in an oven at any one time. The tray is formed of individual rods (4, 5, Fig.1) forming an open mesh basket which permits the free flow of air to provide more effective heating for foodstuff contained in the tray. The tray 1 may have an outer frame attached to provide location within the shelf slots or supports of an oven. The tray walls may taper inwardly towards the base.

Title: Optimal spacecraft safing methodology
Inventor: IH CHE-HANG CHARLES
IPC: B64G1/28
Filed: 2010-12-22
Abstract: A system and method for spacecraft (S/C) safing methodology. The system and method use wheel momentum to perform a rotisserie rotation so that the spacecraft can slew at a fast rate in a controlled fashion in order to keep the spacecraft power safe and maintain telemetry and command (T and C) coverage. The system and method involve a reaction wheel system and a spacecraft control processor (SCP). The SCP is in communication with the reaction wheel system. The SCP is operable to determine a rotisserie axis, and take the cross product of the rotisserie axis and a momentum vector to result in a unit vector. The SCP is further operable to slowly slew the spacecraft about the unit vector through an angle until the rotisserie axis aligns with the momentum vector, and rotate the spacecraft about the rotisserie axis to keep the spacecraft power safe.

Patent GB-2514186-A (GB)
Title: Digital Complex IF Limiter
Inventor: WESTBROOK LESLIE
IPC: H03G11/00
Filed: 2013-05-17
Abstract: A power limiter is provided for constraining the RF power associated with digital samples. The limiter operates on input samples representing in phase and quadrature signal components. The input samples are assumed initially to be Cartesian limited (as represented at fig.13: 120). Typically, this may be implicit as the range of signal levels that can be represented will be determined by the available number of bits. A power measurement is determined from the constrained I and Q input signals, and this power measurement is compared with a power constraint value. The power constraint value is the square of a magnitude constraint value of the combined I and Q signals. If the power measurement exceeds the constraint value, the I and Q samples are each scaled so that the resultant scaled digital signal has magnitude substantially equal to the magnitude constraint value. The scale factor may be substantially the ratio of the constraint value to the magnitude of the digital sample. Scale factors may be stored in a look-up table indexed by a look-up reference value derived as a function of the power measure. The method allows use of one dimensional look-up tables of practical size.
