Patent GB-2321542-A (GB)
Title: Modelling flow of multi-phase fluids in pipelines
Inventor: HENRIOT VERONIQUE
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: The purpose of the proposed method is to build a model to represent steady and transient flows in pipelines of a mixture of multi-phase fluids, which takes account of a set of variables defining the properties of the fluids and flow patterns - in separate, dispersed or intermittent phases - as well as the dimensions and inclines of the feeder pipes. The values characterising the flow are determined by solving a set of transport equations, an equation of conservation of mass per constituent, an equation of momentum of the mixture, and by using a hydrodynamic module of the drift flow type and an integrated thermodynamic model of the fluids. The model is set up on the assumption that the mixture is essentially in equilibrium at each instant and that the composition of the multi-phase mixture is variable along the length of the pipeline. An examplary application is to the study of hydrocarbon transport networks. The method facilitates the processing of phase appearance and disappearance without solution convergence problems, thus providing robust coding.

Patent GB-2344032-A (GB)
Title: Restriction of source address look-ups in network switches
Inventor: JENNINGS KEVIN
IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 1998-11-21
Abstract: A forwarding database 5 in a network switch is established and maintained by performing a look-up 4 for a source address read from an incoming frame to find a match between the source address in the frame and the source address in an entry which includes that source address SA, a port number PN and an age field AGE. New entries are made if matches are not found, so that the forwarding database facilitates the dispatch 7 of frames to destination addresses corresponding to source addresses in the table. The performance of a source address look-up is inhibited in the absence of a token, a reservoir 8 of tokens being decremented each time a source address look-up is performed and incremented 9 from time to time, at a selectable rate. The process facilitates the performance of a destination address look-up for every received frame by restricting the bandwidth made available for source address look-ups.

Title: Posture-responsive chair
Inventor: HANCOCK WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: A47C1/022
Filed: 1999-07-26
Abstract: A pedestal chair has a seat 4 and backrest 5 which pivot independently about a common horizontal axis 8 arranged under the centre of gravity of an occupant.

IPC: E02D29/12
Filed: 1999-08-19
Abstract: An access cover assembly with a frame (10), at least one cover (15) hingedly connected to the frame and a guard rail assembly (17). Opening of the cover is assisted by a spring, preferably a torsion spring (18). The guard rail is movable between a collapsed position where it is stored in the frame and an erected position. The guard rail assembly is formed from at least two posts (21,22) and a number of extendible and retractable rails (23-28), which when erected connect the cover or covers and posts together. In a preferred configuration the frame is rectangular and the two posts are pivotally connected to the frame on the opposite side to the cover. The posts (21,22), fig 4, extend diagonally within the frame when in the collapsed position. The rails may be pivotally connected to a cover or post, so to be foldable against the underside of the cover or in side-by-side relationship with one of the posts, when in a collapsed position, fig 4. The rails may also be telescopically extendible and retractable. The assembly also has a load bearable internal platform (31) supported by the frame. The platform is slidable between two positions where it either closes or allows access to the hole below. The platform has two parallel spaced apart reinforcing members (32), fig 2, on it's underside, each with a ramp surface (33) at one end to facilitate movement between the two positions. Movement is further enabled by a transversely extending elongate member (34) on the platform which co-operates with inclined slots (35) in opposite sides of the frame.

Title: Apparatus for non-surgical reversible sterilization of females
IPC: A61F6/22
Filed: 1974-02-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for non-surgical reversible sterilization of females. In the method of this invention an apparatus to which a removable tip is attached is inserted into the uterus. The tip is aligned with the uterine end of the oviduct. A curable elastomeric composition is injected, through an aperture in the tip, into the oviduct in an amount sufficient to fill the portion of the oviduct adjacent to the uterus. The elastomeric composition is allowed to solidify and adhere to the above noted tip. The apparatus is then removed with the tip being ejected from the apparatus so as to remain adhered to the resulting oviduct block. The above procedure is repeated for the opposite oviduct. The resulting oviduct blocks prevent the passage of ovum from the ovaries to the uterus and sperm from entering the oviduct thereby preventing conception. The oviduct blocks if desired can be removed non-surgically by utilizing an apparatus which grips the tip portion of the oviduct block and extracts the entire oviduct block from the oviduct.
