Title: Domestic appliance water leak sensor mat with automatic water catchment skirt
Inventor: THORBY VINCENT
IPC: D06F39/08
Filed: 2003-10-16
Abstract: The water leak sensor mat 5 is intended to be placed underneath an electrically powered domestic appliance that fills up with water and is thus prone to leakage. The mat 5 is provided with moisture sensitive release means 6 that cause spring means 7 to raise a water retaining skirt 7 around the base of the appliance for catchment of the leak. A drain outlet 8 releases the water in a controlled manner. The sensor mat 5 can also cut off the electrical supply to the appliance and isolate the water supply to the appliance. Once the overflow sensor mat is activated and has been drained effectively of water, the mat is easily dried, then depress the mat into the non activated position, reconnect the power supply, then switch on. The overflow sensor mat will stay in a non activated position until moisture activates the sensors.

Title: Hair trimming mechanism incorporating an airflow system
Inventor: RITCHIE GARRY
IPC: B26B19/44
Filed: 2004-01-31
Abstract: A hair trimmer mechanism comprising a passageway intake 3, an internal airflow system and a collection chamber with detachable cover all housed in a unit 20. The passageway intake 3 is an opening formed in the housing in close proximity to the hair trimmers blades 2. When the hair trimmers blades 2 are energised the internal airflow system also turns on and creates a vacuum at the passageway intake 3 thereby drawing hair clippings into the unit. The internal airflow system consists of an air intake, which filters air into the unit 20 a fan assembly 9 that creates a pressurized flow of air which is channelled via ducting that merges with an internal passageway that links the passageway intake to the opposite end of the unit where the hair clippings are collected in a chamber. The pressure differential, caused by the air flow, along the internal passageway 11 causes hair clippings to be drawn into the passageway intake 3 and then blown along the internal passageway and collected in a chamber. The airflow is maintained with outlet vents formed in the detachable cover of the collection chamber.

Abstract: Liquid particle counter comprising: a sample cell 1 for the passage of a liquid; a light source 5 for directing a beam of light through the sample cell 1, and a photo-detector 7 for providing a signal representing the amount of light passing through the sample cell 1. A signal processing and an analysing circuit 13, 15 produce an output representative of the particle count. The cell 1 is made of a glass tube which has a circular cross-section. The sensor may have a unitary body which is made of plastics material, and the light source 5 may be a laser. The photo-detector 7 may be a photo-transistor. There may be an aperture 9 between the light source 5 and the cell, and another aperture 11 between the cell and the photo-detector 7. The apertures may have a circular shape. The viewing volume may pass diametrically through the sample, with the light beam striking the cell's outer surface perpendicularly. A signal processor such as a pulse height analyser may be adapted to determine particles' size / count distribution. The count number of the pulses may provide a signal representative of the result.

Title: Network congestion control employing data packet construction and prioritisation
Inventor: REYNOLDS PAUL
IPC: H04L47/32
Filed: 2004-04-13
Abstract: The invention provides a method for transmitting data from a plurality of data sources across a data packet data communications network having a congestion control mechanism for reducing the effects of congestion by selectively prioritising data packets. The data packets can contain data in a number of different multimedia types, e.g. voice, video, audio, email, each being within a separate partition in the packet. The packets can be transmitted as a data packet train, which consists of a number of data packets with some association in time and an order of precedence. The association and order of precedence are used to decide which packets can be kept and which packets can be discarded in the presence of a congested network. The data packet partitioning may be made adaptive where the lengths of data packet partitions can be varied dynamically according to the type of data present and current network conditions.
