Title: Method for dynamic sensor network processing
Inventor: MONGA INDERMOHAM
IPC: G06F7/02
Filed: 2006-09-25
Abstract: Described are a method and a sensor aware network for dynamic processing of sensor data. Network context data are inserted into data packets from sensors or local sensor networks coupled to the sensor aware network. Sensor aware nodes in the sensor aware network can read the context data and can respond by performing specific network actions. The sensor data and network context data are provided to one or more application nodes. The sensor data and network context data can be stored in a database and later searched according to the network context data. Advantageously, sensor data flows can be treated differently by the sensor aware network, the application and the user, depending on the type of sensor data and the actual data values. Thus critical responses to certain sensor data flows can be implemented more efficiently than otherwise possible using conventional network configurations.

Title: A hand and object casting kit
Inventor: ENGLAND ROBERT
IPC: B29C39/10
Filed: 2008-05-09
Abstract: The invention relates to the moulding of the replica of a hand holding an object. There is provided a hand and object casting kit (figure 2), which includes the potential of leaving an object 2a inside the mould during the casting process. The product is a hard cast replica of the human hand 9a holding the original object 2a. The human hand and the chosen object are immersed into a casting material to form the mould. After the setting of the mould, the hand is removed, leaving the original object inside the mould. The void left by the removed hand is invested with a self hardening substance which flows around the original object. The casing holding the casting material is agitated and vibrated by tapping. After the substance has cured and set, both the replica hand casting and the original object are removed from the mould material, revealing the replica hand holding the original object. The replica may be coated with a preservative and a self adhesive braize material 9 attached to the base 9 of thearticle. The object may be a cricket ball, a piece of jewellery, a pencil or a flower vase.

Title: Optical component cleanliness and debris management in laser micromachining applications
Inventor: BOLT BRYAN C
IPC: B23K26/02
Filed: 2006-11-30
Abstract: Preferred embodiments of a purge gas port (74), laser beam attenuating input window (24), and laser shutter (20) constitute subsystems of a UV laser optical system (10) in which a laser beam is completely enclosed to reduce contamination of the optical system components (42, 60, 72). Purge gas is injected through multiple locations in a beam tube assembly (18) to ensure that the optical component surfaces (78) sensitive to contamination are in the flow path of the purge gas. The input window functions as a fixed level attenuator to limit photopolymerization of airborne molecules and particles. Periodically rotating optical elements asymmetrically in their holders (142) reduces burn damage to the optics.
