Title: Air-conditioning apparatus
Inventor: Kazuki okochi
IPC: F24F11/89
Filed: 2015-06-22
Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning apparatus which minimizes the frequency of increases in the noise of the air blowers of outdoor units. If the outdoor temperature is more than a reference temperature and the operation capacity of an indoor unit is less than a reference capacity, a control device sets the maximum value of operation output of each air blower to be within the range of that in normal operation, thereby performing liquid equalization control. If the outdoor temperature is the reference value or less, or if the outdoor temperature is at the reference value or more and the operation capacity of the indoor unit is at the reference capacity or more, the control device sets the maximum value of operation output of each air blower to be greater than in normal operation, thereby performing liquid equalization control.

Title: A valve assembly
Inventor: NICHOLAS CUDWORTH
IPC: A47G19/22
Filed: 2018-05-23
Abstract: A valve assembly 100 is provided that allows a user to drink from any point around an upper rim 124 of a drinking vessel 160. The valve assembly 100 includes a valve element 110 comprising an annular valve seat surface 126 which at rests against annular valve face 128 by virtue of the resilient nature of sealing cap 50 (see figure 2a). When a user applies pressure to the outer rim 122 of the valve element 110 (see figure 2b), the sealing cap 150 is actuated and the valve opens forming a fluid path from inside the vessel 160 to the users mouth (see figure 2c). Downward pressure applied to the outside rim 122 causes the sealing cap 50 to flex in the vicinity of the applied pressure such that the annular valve face 128 moves away from the annular valve seat surface 126 via a pivoting movement. In another embodiment, the lower surface 339 of the outer rim 322 of the sealing cap 350 forms an annular valve seat surface 326, which moves away from annular valve face 328 upon pressure applied to the rim 322 (see figures 3 & 4a-4c).

Title: Revoking access to a network
Inventor: Chloe Ceren Tartan
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2020-03-13
Abstract: A method for revoking access to a network comprising a set of nodes and devices is provided. Each node is a respective node of a blockchain network and the devices are controllable by one or more of the nodes. Each node and device is associated with a respective certificate granting access to the network. A registration authority is connected to the blockchain network and is responsible for granting and revoking certificates of the nodes and devices. Each certificate may be contained within a blockchain transaction linked with an unspent transaction output (UTXO). On receiving an alert transaction the registration authority revokes the certificate of an identified node or device (e.g. a node that has become uncontactable or acting maliciously). The alert transaction is a blockchain transaction comprising a first output containing an alert message identifying another node. A node may use OP_RETURN in the transaction which allows data storage within the transaction. To revoke the certificate a revocation transaction spends the UTXO linked with the certificate transaction. A method is also provided for reporting a failed network connection to a registration authority based on a number of failed attempts to establish a connection to a device.

Title: An ultra violet (UV) exposure device
Inventor: ELEANOR EDWARDS
IPC: G01J1/50
Filed: 2020-04-14
Abstract: A sunshine exposure device may be worn on a wristband 15, strap, or bracelet (Fig. 15). In use, a mask (shaded) exposes a first region 14a of a photoreactive material to UV light and blocks a second region. The exposure changes an optical characteristic of the material in the first region (Figs 3-4). For example, colour, reflectance, opacity or absorbance. Moving (e.g. rotating; or sliding Fig. 11) the mask exposes a second region of the photoreactive material and covers the first region (Figs. 5-10). The change in optical characteristic indicates an amount of incident radiation. The photoreactive material may include a liquid crystal (dye) or photochromic. The device may be waterproof. A light may be included for use as a torch at night. A UV filter may be placed over the device to account for the fact that a wearer is wearing sunblock/ sunscreen.
