Abstract: An injection moulding apparatus for hollow parts comprises first and second co-operating dies 12, 14, each die including a first male die core 22/38 and a female die recess 20/36. One of the dies 14, 16 is rotatable about an axis. In a first angular position of die 14, 16, the core 22 of die 12, co-operates with the female die recess 36 of die 14, 16 and the core 38 of second die 14, 16 co-operates with female die recess 20 of die 12, to define first and second moulds in which half-components (300, 301, figure 6 - not shown) may be formed. In a second angular position (figure 5 - not shown) of rotatable die 14, 16, the respective recesses 20, 36 of first and second dies 12, 14 co-operate to form a third mould in which the half-components (300, 301) may be joined e.g. by a collar (302, figure 7 - not shown) formed by injecting a molten material. The apparatus makes use of a single injector differentially controlled for each stage. In the second angular position, a recess 30 in the stationary die 12 receives core 38 of die 14, 16 and a recess 40 in die 14, 16 receives core 38 of die 14, 16 and a recess 40 in die 14, 16 receives core 22 of die 12.

Title: Monitoring of services provided over a network with recording and redisplay of user interactions with a web page
Inventor: DUCKETT MALCOLM JOHN
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2000-03-14
Abstract: A monitoring applet (102) is loaded into a users network terminal either as a plug in for a network browser or as part of a downloaded web page (101). This applet may scan web pages downloaded into the browser to determine their active content (buttons, hyperlinks etc.) and the actions which these active areas may initiate. The applet may inform the monitoring server (41) that it is active and receive configuration instructions in response. Once configured the monitoring applet records user interactions with a downloaded web page (cursor position, buttons pressed, text entered into fields etc.) and transmits this information to the monitoring server. The monitoring server may use this data to produce various analyses and reports. The data may also be played back to allow redisplay and analysis of a users interactions or to provide a test signal to be applied to an application server (3). The network will typically be the internet or World Wide Web and the applet will typically be in a Java (RTM) or Javascript (RTM).

Title: A communication device and a method of controlling transmission power
Inventor: MESSER VICTORIA
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2001-12-15
Abstract: A radio communication device 201 includes a transmitter under the control of a controller 223, operating a control loop to set the transmitter power. The controller is limited to set a maximum transmitter power by a threshold generator 221 and the threshold is determined by tariff information from processor 219. This information may be received from the communications system, from permanent storage in the device, by user input or over the internet. The threshold may also be set as a function of time of day, traffic loading or user input e.g. receipt of a discount for acceptance of a lower power maximum. Reduced charges encourages the use of lower power levels, thus the amount of noise and interference in the system can be reduced. The invention is applicable to a CDMA system such as UMTS.

Title: Filtration apparatus for the removal of particles from a gas
Inventor: COPUS JONATHAN HUGH LAMBERT
IPC: B01D46/26
Filed: 2001-12-15
Abstract: An apparatus for removing solid particles from gases comprises a porous filter 4 whose rotation provides the motive force for drawing the gas through itself. The porous filter 4 may consist of a solid or hollow cylinder of plastic foam, mounted concentrically on the shaft of a drill bit (2, Fig 1) or the shaft of a motor 5 so that during rotation, the filter 4 rotates with, but not necessarily at the same speed as the shaft. During rotation centrifugal forces cause gas such as air to be drawn into the filter axis and ejected from the filter periphery causing solid particles suspended in the incoming air to be trapped in the foam. A casing 7 with inlet slots 8 and outlet slots 9 or an inlet duct (14, Fig 3) may be provided. Advantageously the apparatus is suited to the practice of chiropody or podiatry, air-conditioning systems and treating exhaust gases from factories or laboratories.

Title: Nmr well logging - determination of t1
Inventor: CHEN SONGHUA
IPC: G01R33/44
Filed: 1999-01-27
Abstract: A method for determining intrinsic transverse relaxation time of a first mobile phase in a porous medium using nuclear magnetic resonance measurement sequences. The sequences are measured at first and second wait times. At least two different interecho spacing times are used for each wait time. The first and second wait time are selected to provide different magnetization recoveries of the first phase, and are selected to be longer than the longitudinal relaxation time of a second mobile phase. Spin echo amplitudes are inversion processed to determine partial contributions of the first phase from amplitudes measured during the first and second wait times. The longitudinal relaxation time is determined by comparing partial contributions. Viscosity of the first mobile phase can be determined from the intrinsic relaxation time.
