Title: Apparatus for use in wrapping items
Inventor: SWEENEY STEPHEN JAMES
IPC: B65H35/00
Filed: 2015-05-30
Abstract: A dispenser 16 has a spindle 6 on a frame 4 to receive reels 18-22 of ribbon or wrapping material. A cutter 10 and a holder mount 30 are parallel to the spindle and there is an adhesive tape dispenser 40. The holder mount preferably receives holding members 32 such as rubber rings or detachable clips to retain the free end of the ribbon or wrap. Ideally the ribbon or wrap are pulled through the holding members and retained by friction. The frame member preferably includes side portions 46, 56 which are perpendicular to the spindle. The adhesive tape dispenser 40 and/or a receptacle 48 for scissors 50 and a pen 52 can attach to either of these sides so as to be suitable for left or right handed users. The spindle may be removably retained in tapering sloped tracks of the side portions so that they are moved by gravity as far down as their size will allow so that the dispenser can be used with multiple sizes of reel. The webs may pass over a roller exerting a braking force so that the reel unravels no more than necessary. The cutter can be a serrated blade on the mounting member. The device could be sold flat pack and assembled with screws.

Title: Valve assembly for use in a fluid conduit
Inventor: STEVEN HIGGINS
IPC: F16L55/10
Filed: 2017-03-07
Abstract: A valve assembly, for use in a fluid conduit, comprises an assembly housing 22, 24, a valve 26, and an energised seal 38. The housing 22, 24 defines a hollow bore, and the valve 26, which can be a petal valve, is moveable between open and closed positions.

Title: Burette magnet dampener
Inventor: MILES ATHOL BLACKWOOD-SEWELL
IPC: H01F7/02
Filed: 2017-03-22
Abstract: A burette 1 has magnets 2A and 2B separated by a spacer 3 located inside the burette forming part of a piston which seals against the internal diameter of the burette. The piston may be moved vertically by sliding an external ring magnet 4 along the outer diameter of said burette. To prevent damage to the glass burette the magnet is encased within a shaped coating or cover that bulges outward Fig 2, 7 to reduce or ameliorate the magnetic field strength in an outward direction but has no effect on the attraction between the internal and external magnets. Thus any ferrous items attracted by magnet 6 will have less kinetic energy due to lower acceleration if they contact the buffer or shroud 8 and are less likely to break, crack or smash the burette.

Title: Improvements in or relating to UL Grant Free Transmissions - Configuration and resource bundling
Inventor: BRUNO JECHOUX
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2017-08-17
Abstract: Resources available for grant free transmission are allocated by a base station and indicated to a user equipment (UE), wherein the same resources are available to more than one UE. The UE receives an indication of at least one RRC policy for the selection of resources for initial transmissions and re-transmission following collision wherein the policy includes selecting resources at random in at least one of the time or frequency domain. Transmit occasions each have an associated redundancy version (RV) and the UE transmits the RV of a transport block corresponding to the transmit occasion for each repetition of the transport block. The UE stops transmitting repetitions of a transport block after receiving an indication to terminate transmission prior to transmitting all repetitions. In a HARQ protocol, if neither an ACK nor a NACK is received from the base station, data is retransmitted from the UE on the next available uplink grant free resources. The UE may retransmit the data according to a received configuration message including an indication of the same HARQ process used to transmit data.
