Title: A method and a device for precipitating calcium carbonate in a fibre material
Inventor: SIPILAE MATTI
IPC: D21H/
Filed: 2004-07-12
Abstract: In the method for precipitating calcium carbonate in the cellulose-based fibre material, the calcium compound is first directed to the fibre material, after which carbon dioxide is directed to this fibre material and the material is mixed in order to precipitate the calcium carbonate in the fibres. The carbon dioxide is directed to the fibre material, which is in a consistency of 3 to 5%, after which the fibre material is supplied in this consistency area through a mixing zone (Z) and brought on the mixing zone in question under hydraulic cutting forces in a defibrator (C; C1, C2), wherein the blade distance on said zone (Z) is in the area of 0.5 to 1.5 mm.

Title: Multi section garden table
Inventor: O'CONNELL JOSEPH
IPC: A47B13/10
Filed: 2006-04-05
Abstract: A garden table (900) is described that may be used with an outdoor patio heater (905) but in instances where the patio heater is not required, the space in the centre of the table that is normally occupied by the heater can be filled by an insert (200). This enables the table to be used with/without the heater. The use of moveable support members (Fig 3-6) enables the insert to be easily presented to the table where it is supported. By providing consistently dimensioned cut out portions within each section of a multi-section table, the cut-out portions of a table of a first configuration (901) can be mated to a cut out portion of a table of a second configuration (902) thereby enabling the construction of a modular garden table arrangement. The table may be fitted with a removable leg and mounting plate (Fig 7 items 700 and 705).

Title: Method for product authentication in which an identification code stored on a microcircuit is checked
Inventor: CORRY JOHN
IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 2004-03-10
Abstract: A method for product authentication comprises applying to genuine products a code on a label, the code being generated by an algorithm, which code is unique to a small subset of articles, preferably to a single such article, so that it can be assumed that any product on the market which either does not have a label or has a wrong label, or for which the label is otherwise accounted for, is counterfeit, the label being machine-readable, characterised in that the label comprises a machine-readable microcircuit, to which a code can be written, and from which the written code can be read remotely, in which information read from microcircuits by a machine code-reader is processed in the code-reader to determine the authenticity of a labelled product, and the code-reader determines whether a code conforms to the algorithm which is supposed to have been used to generate it. The code reader can also determine whether a code is a repeat code.

Title: Wave power generator using hinged barrier
Inventor: WOODWARD MICHAEL ANDREW
IPC: F03B13/14
Filed: 2007-01-09
Abstract: A wave or tidal power generator comprises at least one hinged barrier 2 defining a retained body of water 7, the barrier 2 being located between the retained body of water 7 and a body of water, e.g. the sea 5. The barrier has a buoyant member 6 so that the height of the barrier 2 is dependant on the level of water in the retained body of water. The barrier 2 is hinged to a base 4 and floats at an inclined angle on the retained body of water 7. This enables the tide or waves on the sea 5 to climb the barrier 2, overtop it and flow into the retained body of water 7. The potential energy stored in the retained water may be harnessed by at least one turbine (18, Figure 5b) driving a generator, for the generation of electricity. The process may be enhanced by locating a concentrating means (44, Figure 13) in front of the barrier in order to refract and direct a broad wave front onto a relatively small barrier.

Title: Monitoring device for rotating body
Inventor: HWANG YOHA
IPC: G01B11/16
Filed: 2006-11-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a monitoring device for a rotating body, which can accurately measure signals from a fiber Bragg grating sensor provided on the rotating body by compensating a transmission loss variation and a distortion of the sensor signals. A rotation-side optical fiber has at least one deformation sensor at a portion thereof and a reference sensor at one end thereof. The sensors are made by forming a Bragg grating in the rotation-side optical fiber. A fixed-side optical fiber is mounted to the fixed body so as to be opposed to the one end of the rotation-side optical fiber. A signal processing unit detects a deformation of the rotating body by subtracting a signal corresponding to the light reflected from the reference sensor from a signal corresponding to the light reflected from the deformation sensor.

Patent GB-2456439-A (GB)
Title: Downhole depth computation methods and related system
Inventor: ESTES ROBERT A
IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2007-09-20
Abstract: A method for determining depth in a wellbore uses inertial navigation in conjunction with a database having one or more measured parameters correlated with depth. The measured parameter may be the lengths of stands (14) forming a drill string, prior survey data relating to a naturally occurring feature such as formation lithology, or data relating to a human made feature such as collars in a casing string. The downhole processor (24) may use accelerometer measurements to calculate a measured depth of a BHA (24) and access the database to retrieve a predicted depth that corresponds with one or more sensor measurements (e.g., motion indicating the addition of a stand to a drill string). Thereafter, if the downhole processor determines that the predicted depth is in agreement with the calculated depth, the processor stores the predicted depth and / or associates the predicted depth with directional surveys taken along the wellbore.
