Patent EP-2014994-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GRAHAM ROBIN
IPC: F24D19/10
Filed: 2008-05-19
Abstract: The present invention is a novel, distributed energy saving space heating system which provides individual  in situ  heating control for each room in a building. This accommodates changes in environmental conditions and differences in room/building construction. 
     The present invention also allows heating (or air conditioning) in individual rooms to be switched on or off as required. To this end, the present invention employs two variable temperature settings for each room mainly a higher comfort setting and a lower standby temperature setting. The comfort and standby room temperature settings may be altered according to the activities occurring in a room. 
     The present invention also comprises a mechanism for recording data pertaining to the heating/cooling patterns of individual rooms over prolonged periods of time. The present invention also comprises a reporting system for collating this data and presenting the information to the user, thereby providing detailed information on individual rooms heating/cooling performance and effectively providing an energy audit of a building, thereby providing guidance on how the present invention might be reconfigured to drive it closer to the users requirements. This information enables the user to individually tailor the temperature settings in each room to match the actual and specific heating demands of the rooms (as opposed to traditional heating mechanisms which employ universal heating/cooling settings for all the rooms in a building). This in turn, enables a user to take control of their heating/cooling environment in terms of cost and comfort, in an intuitive way.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for making the longitudinal temperature distribution of the bulbous end of a longitudinally oriented workpiece, such as a rail's head, generally uniform when the head has a non-uniform longitudinal temperature distribution. A combination of crown 12 and skirt (14 in  Figure 5(a) ) electric inductors is used to achieve the generally uniform temperature distribution by modulating the magnetic field intensity produced by current flow through one or more of the combination of crown and skirt inductors as required for the non-uniformly heated regions of the rail's head.

IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 2008-01-16
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to wireless communications networks, and more specifically to method and apparatus relating to wireless backhaul for cellular wireless systems. Increasing data capacity of cellular wireless systems places increasing demands on the capacity of the two way connection, known as backhaul, between a cellular base station and a telecommunications network such as the PSTN backhaul, since this is the connection that has to convey the wireless-originating traffic to its destination, often in an entirely different network. Known backhaul links include leased lines, microwave links, optical fibre links or radio resources for relaying backhaul traffic between base stations. The fixed line solutions are expensive to implement and maintain, while the radio solutions suffer from interference from transmissions between base stations with transmissions from user equipment to base stations which are not communicating with other base stations. In embodiments of the invention, the relaying of access data between base stations utilises radio resources other than radio resources used by transmissions from user equipment within an area of contiguous wireless coverage. The benefit of this approach is that it provides a means of avoiding interference between inter-base station transmissions and user equipment to base station transmissions.

Abstract: A method of making drug eluting stents comprises forming ceramic surface coatings of two or more levels of porosity on a stent body. The less porous coating is more conducive to endothelial cell growth, while the more porous coating is better suited for storing and releasing drugs. The surface coatings of different porosities can be produced by coating stent body surface of differing roughness with coatings made by sol-gel method. Differing roughness of the stent body surface can be produced by selective etching of the stent body surface.
