Title: Self cooling a can or container
Inventor: MOLZAHN STUART WILLIAM
IPC: F25B21/02
Filed: 1998-09-21
Abstract: A self-cooling beverage or foodstuff can or container comprises a chamber (30) including water (26) and activated carbon (28) as an absorbent. The water and carbon are separated by a burstable membrane (42). When cooling is required, a push button (36) urges a cutter (38) to break the membrane (42). Water vapour is then absorbed by the carbon, lowering the pressure, and causing more water to evaporate to replace the adsorbed water. This cools the body of water, and hence the beverage or foodstuff.
Patent GB-2342987-A (GB)
Title: Improved smoke dectector with fault monitoring capability
Inventor: APPLEBY DAVID
IPC: G08B17/107
Filed: 1998-10-20
Abstract: Smoke may enter a partly enclosed chamber 1, and is sensed by an increased signal from receiver 8 due to scattering and reflection of light from source 7. Barrier 10, and the design of the chamber's internal surfaces 12, 13, 14 minimise background scattering and reflection. An indirect light path from source 7 to receiver 8 is formed by a first bright scattering and/or reflective surface 15 within the field of emission of source 7 but outside of the field of view of receiver 8, and by a second bright surface 16 within the field of view of receiver 8 but outside of the field of emission of source 7. The quiescent signal is dominated by the indirect light path, and is similar to the signal increase in the presence of smoke at the fire detection threshold. The quiescent signal is predictable, is relatively unaffected by contamination or by insects, and may be used to fault monitor the sensor.

Patent GB-2350294-A (GB)
Title: Fire extinguishing system
Inventor: BOYD CHRISTOPHER
IPC: A62C3/07
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: System typically comprises two tubular pipes 24,26 containing a volatile fire extinguishant retained between rupturable diaphragms 28,38. When the extinguishant is to be discharged, a pyrotechnic gas generator 44,46 is activated to produce high pressure gas in an expansion chamber 40 which is separated from a main chamber 36 containing a fluid e.g. water by a rupturable diaphragm 42. The high gas pressure ruptures the diaphragm and the high pressure is applied to the extinguishant via the water in the main chamber 36. The diaphragms 38,28 retaining the extinguishant rupture and the extinguishant is ejected through discharge nozzles 14,16. The water quenches the high temperature gases from the pyrotechnic gas generator 44,46 thus preventing pyrolysis of the fire extinguishant and the creation of harmful and deleterious by-products.
Patent GB-2334869-A (GB)
Title: Adaptive graphics rendering system
Inventor: JEVANS DAVID
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 1995-12-15
Abstract: A mechanism is provided which allows an application program or user to select a desired point in an overall speed/quality rendering trade-off continuum, with relatively fine resolution of choice, and without being concerned with individual rendering parameters. A graphics rendering system to accomplish this includes a continuum, or collection, of quality control data groups, each of which contains a plurality of quality control type variables. Each of the type variables contains a value which selects among a plurality of options in a respective trade-off between rendering quality and rendering speed. For example, each of the quality control data groups may include a quality control type variable for "level of detail"; those groups at the lower end of the quality continuum may have those variables set to "low", whereas data groups at the higher end of the continuum may have this variable set to "high". Each of the quality control data groups is associated with a respective quality index. Thus, an application program can select a point on the overall rendering speed/quality rendering trade-off, merely by selecting a quality control index value. Moreover, the application program can make the quality control index accessible to a user, for example in such an intuitive form as an iconic "quality knob. The quality knob may have a number of settings, for example, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, each of which corresponds to a respective one of the quality control data groups. Thus the mechanism permits the user to have fine control over the rendering speed/quality rendering trade-off, without being concerned with adjustments to the individual rendering parameters.

Title: Fastener assembly
Inventor: HOEFLE SIEGFRIED
IPC: F16B37/04
Filed: 1993-12-17
Abstract: The fastening device serves to fit components on a fastening rail (32) which exhibits a slot-like opening (34). For better handling, the fastening device exhibits a spring element (27) which can be sprung in both the axial and the radial directions. By virtue of an outer contour of a region (31) which can be sprung radially in a compressed manner and is larger than a width of the slot-like opening (34), a snap-like fixing of the fastening device on the fastening rail (32) is achieved. The axially elastic region (28) of the spring element (27) produces axial bracing between the basic body (21) and the intermediate body (29). <IMAGE>
