Patent BR-PI0705473-A (BR)
Inventor: ABERGEL ALINE
IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 2007-12-20
Abstract: The device has a container (1) containing a cosmetic product e.g. lip stick, and including an actuating wall (13) to distribute the product towards a distribution orifice (12). Another container (2) contains another cosmetic product e.g. lip gloss, and includes an actuating wall (23) to distribute the latter product towards a distribution orifice (22).

Title: Clamping arrangement for a mudline tieback
Inventor: HENDRIE CRAIG
IPC: E21B33/038
Filed: 2010-02-25
Abstract: The present invention provides a mudline connector 10 including a compression adaptor 40 which can be elastically deformed onto an internal tubular member. In the preferred embodiment the compression adaptor 40 deflects inwardly to grip an upper and a lower sealing mandrel 50, 56 in order to provide axial and bending load support and create a seal in order to isolate bore 160 pressure from an outer annulus 170 and vice-versa. The clamping arrangement 10 thereby provides a sealed connection between two well casing sections 22, 25 which extend in opposite axial directions. The well casings 22, 25 are gripped and held in an end to end configuration. The connector 10 does this by means of a radial load applied internally by a compression ring 60. The connector 10 is activated by introducing a pressure into a piston port activation thus stroking an activation pistons 80 which in turn provides an axial thrust to stroke the internally tapered compression ring 60 along the externally tapered compression collar 70 effectively creating an interference fit therebetween. This deflects the inner surface of the compression collar 70 inwardly which thereby deflects the compression adaptor 40 inwardly in order to grip the outer surfaces of the upper and lower sealing mandrels 50, 56.

Title: Two-part steam iron
Inventor: HUNTER CHRISTOPHER GLEN
IPC: D06F75/30
Filed: 2010-03-11
Abstract: A textile treatment device such as a domestic steam iron includes two inter connectable sections to allow easier and more flexible use when pressing different types of clothing. The two sections may have detachably inter-connected energy conversion systems such as an electro-resistive element. The two sections may have separate soleplates with vent holes and either section may have an evaporation chamber for water. The two sections can work connected together for pressing large flat areas of fabric but can also be used separately, giving the user a smaller area of soleplate to manoeuvre when pressing small and hard-to-reach areas such as shirts and the inside of pockets. This reduction in soleplate area when used separately reduces the weight and prevents other parts of the soleplate from catching and creasing areas of fabric directly behind the device.

Title: Quantum dots or wires formed in and aligned by pits that overlie a stressor layer
Inventor: SKIBA-SZYMANSKA JOANNA KRYSTYNA
IPC: H01L29/12
Filed: 2010-05-10
Abstract: A method of aligning one or more quantum dots 311, wires or rings 411 in a semiconductor device by depositing the quantum layer on a stack of underlying layers. The underlying stack comprises a first bottom layer 203, an overlying stressor layer 205, having a substantial lattice mismatch with the bottom layer and an overlying patterned layer 207 that has one or more pits 313 or grooves 413. Deposition of a layer on this stack produces a quantum dot or wire lying above said patterned layer aligned with said pit or groove. The wire may produce a ring (figure 4c). Preferably the pit or groove is etched and covered by a re-growth buffer layer 209. The aligned devices may be a photon source with one (fig 6) or many quantum dots (fig 7). The device may be a photo detector and may have multiple layers of quantum dots (fig 8). A quantum register device may also be formed (figs 9, 10). A single photon source may be produced with a quantum dot at a defect location of an etched photonic crystal (fig 11).

Title: CRAC temperature control for predicted minimum total energy consumption of AC and IT equipment.
Inventor: OHBA YUJI
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 2010-05-18
Abstract: System for controlling an air conditioner (AC) in a room or data centre which accommodates IT equipment, such as computers, senses the air temperature at inlets of the cooled equipment and controls this temperature based on a predicted temperature that minimises the power consumption of the AC and IT equipment taken together. The controller repeatedly detects a value of the total power consumption of the computer equipment and the air conditioner as well as the detected value of an air temperature at the equipment air inlet. The values are stored in a memory, and a quadratic expression is approximated to the values to represent a relation between the total power consumption and the air temperature. The expression is updated as move values are determined. The expression thus predicts a temperature that corresponds to a minimum power consumption, and this is used as the controlled air temperature setting. The predicted temperature is also updated as move values are determined.

Title: Re-encrypting messages for distribution using a composition of ciphers
Inventor: FARRUGIA AUGUSTIN J
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2010-08-31
Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for use in a data distribution process to allow an untrusted intermediary 36 to re-encrypt a message received from an originator 30 for transmission to a message receiver 52, 56, 60. The invention uses a composition (combination) of two ciphers for re-encrypting the message at the intermediary without revealing the plain text message or either cipher to the intermediary. The originator encrypts the message with a substitution cipher process and the intermediary then re-encrypts it with a composition of an inverse of the substitution cipher process and a second cipher. The second cipher may also be a substitution cipher or it may be a keyed cipher. The receiver deciphers the second cipher to recover the original message. The message may be digital rights management (DRM) data such as a content key. There may be multiple intermediaries 64, 70 in a chained process.
