Patent GB-0021924-D0 (GB)
Title: Method of mixing flowable materials
IPC: B01F11/00
Filed: 2000-09-07
Abstract: Flowable materials, such as cement and sand, are mixed by placing the materials to be mixed in an elongate flexible resealable bag having handles at its opposite ends and alternately raising and lowering the handles relative to one another to cause the materials to tumble alternately in opposite directions within the bag. The bag is fashioned to have a greater girth at its center than near its ends.
Patent GB-0112620-D0 (GB)
Title: Electro-active devices
IPC: H01L41/09
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: The device has a layered piezoelectric structure extending along a minor axis 36 which is curved, for example in a helix around a major axis 37. The structure comprises successive portions extending around said minor axis and arranged with electrodes to bend around the minor axis 36 such that bending of the successive portions 35 is concomitant with rotation of the electro-active structure about the minor axis 36 adding incrementally along the minor axis 36. The structure generates displacement out of the local plane in which the minor axis is curved. The layers of the structure are arranged at an angle   a   of less than 90{ to the minor axis 36 (see fig 5). The structure may be corrugated 141. The structure may be a continuous electro-active member extending along and curving around the minor axis 35, for example helically to form a helical helix. Alternatively, the electro-active structure may be a plurality of discrete elements connected together. The device may be used as a driver, a sensor or a generator.

Title: Improvement to digital audio broadcast devices
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a number of improvements to Digital Audio Broadcast modules. In particular the invention seeks to provides a lower cost mobile DAB module, which has lower power consumption and is portable.  In one aspect of the invention, a DAB receiver circuit comprises signal processing means including a variable radio frequency (RF) filter having a variable pass-band position; and a control circuit; wherein, in use, a controlling means is periodically increased or decreased to move the pass-band position a predetermined amount from an initial position to a new position; the control circuit is adapted to make a signal quality determination at the new position and make a comparison between the signal quality at the new position and a signal quality at the initial position; and the control circuit either increases or decreases the controlling means in dependence on the comparison in order to improve signal quality. This technique helps to overcome the need for expensive parts such as close tolerance varactor diodes in the tracking filters, and helps to improve the reliability of the centririg of the voltage tuned band pass tracking filters, particularly in the presence of variations due to temperature and aging.
Patent GB-0212648-D0 (GB)
Title: Treatment with cytokines
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: An inflammatory process is suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of neuritic plaques within the cerebral cortex that are mainly composed of a small insoluble protein of 40-42 aminoacids (amyloid protein). Amyloid-specific Interleukin-10 (IL-10) generation is found to be selectively and significantly reduced in AD patients (p=0.023). The genotype associated with high IL-10 production is extremely infrequent in AD individuals (2% vs. 28%). The presence of low/intermediate-IL-10-producing genotypes (GCC/ATA; ATA/ATA) was associated with an earlier age at disease onset and (ACC/ACC; ACC/ATA) with an accelerated rate of disease progression/severity and with amyloid-specific impairment of IL-10 production. This relationship is independent of ApoE gene polymorphism. These results support the use of anti-inflammatory compounds in the therapy of this disease.

Title: Furnace
IPC: F27D99/00
Filed: 2003-02-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a furnace (10), its method of operation and control. The invention overcomes problems associated with existing furnaces by improving the recovery rate of waste metal.  In a preferred embodiment the furnace (10) comprises a cylindrical body of constant internal diameter. The furnace body (12) is mounted on a frame (15) pivoted to a ground members (16a and 16b), the furnace body (12) is adapted to be reclined or inclined or at various angles (± and ²); a burner (30) to heat the furnace, and a door (19a, 19b) for sealing an open end (14).  As the internal walls of the furnace body (12) are of a constant diameter, it is no longer necessary to incline the furnace (10) to such a degree in order to pour molten metal, because there is no narrow neck (which previously acted like a weir).  In a preferred embodiment combustion air is routed through the door hinge to the burner (30). As a result the air/fuel delivery system has gas tight rotary and elbow joints is attached to the furnace (10) and tilts and moves with the furnace (10).  An artificial intelligence system monitors process variables and controls the operation of the furnace (10).

Title: Garment hanging device
IPC: A47G25/20
Filed: 2005-10-18
Abstract: Garment supporting devices and garment hangers are disclosed. One garment supporting device for attaching to a garment hanger comprises a shoulder receiving section operable to conform to a shoulder region of a garment when hung on the garment hanger. By being attachable to a conventional garment hanger, the garment supporting device effectively alters the dimensions of the hanger to accommodate the dimensions of the garment to be supported, especially its shoulder regions. Adapting the shoulder receiving section to conform to the shoulder region of a garment enables the same device to be applied to a conventional hanger in order to support garments having a range of differing sizes. Conforming to the shoulder region increases support in this region and reduces the likelihood of creating deformations therein.

Abstract: A plurality of self-service terminals (16a,b,c,d) are connected in a network (18) which is connected by a communication link (20) to a proxy unit (14). The network (18) implements an obsolescent (legacy) protocol. A manager unit (12) is provided to monitor the health of the terminals and the manager unit (12) operates under the SNMP standard, which requires that the manager unit (12) communicates through a network operating under a later protocol. To enable two-way communication to take place between the manager unit (12) and the terminal network (18), a proxy unit (14) is provided which is connected both to the terminal network (18) and the TCP/IP network (22). Proxy unit (14) has a table of addresses, one for each of the terminals (16a,b,c,d) of the terminal network (18) and receives messages from the manager unit (12) sent in IP protocol which are intended for a terminal (16). These messages are translated into a form suitable for transmission over the terminal network (18). Likewise messages from a terminal in legacy format are passed over the terminal network (18) and are received in the proxy unit (14) where they are converted for onward transmission over the IP network (22) to the manager unit (12). Thus the proxy unit (14) is transparent to both the terminal network (18) and the manager unit (12). <IMAGE>
