Title: Twist type security seal with lid and identification code
Inventor: ROBINSON ROBERTO
IPC: G09F3/03
Filed: 2004-06-24
Abstract: Twist type security seal has insert 13 having two diametric holes 17 in line with guiding holes 19 though the housing wall. They receive a locking wire which is wound by turning with handle 15. The insert has an anti-rotational device which has six helical teeth 35 which engage with matching shoulders 37. Lid 27 covers the insert. Engraved inside it is an identification code at least partially identical to a univocal code on the housing. The length of protuberances 57 on each side of the housing avoids an element being introduced into holes 19 to lift the insert. A retainer ring 21 engages with a groove formed in the housing to prevent removal. The side wall of the housing has a weakened section which, like strip 59, breaks if an attempt is made to remove the lid. The last thee digits of the univocal serial number which is stamped on tab 45 are visible through the bottom wall of the housing.

Title: Apparatus for limiting the flight of a ball
Inventor: LOVEDAY JOHN
IPC: B66F19/00
Filed: 2004-10-15
Abstract: The invention relates to the design of a cage or "net" in which a player stands when playing or practicing a cricket or other ball game. Existing designs, particularly for large cages, suffer from the problem that they do not allow the cage to be easily moved. The problem is solved by providing a wheeled cage with a facility 5 at one end for engaging with a trolley 6. The trolley has large wheels and is designed to provide a lever action allowing that end of the cage to be lifted. A large proportion of the weight of the cage is thus carried by the relatively large wheels of the trolley. By pulling the trolley, even a large cage can be made to glide relatively effortlessly over the surface on which it rests.

Title: Gravel pack crossover tool with check valve in the evacuation port
Inventor: CORBETT THOMAS G
IPC: E21B43/04
Filed: 2003-07-17
Abstract: A gravel packing method and apparatus are described where to set the packer (14'), a ball (46') is dropped to a seat (16')that it isolated from the effects of formation pressures when trying to set the packer. This is accomplished by isolation of the gravel pack outlet port (20') when setting the packer and locating the ball seat in a position where the effects of formation pressure are irrelevant. Additionally, by positioning the evacuation ports above a seal bore (28') in the screen extension during circulation to deposit gravel and further putting check valves (66) in the evacuation ports (60'), the evacuation step after circulation can be accomplished without having to reposition the crossover.

Title: Detecting the position of defects in rails
Inventor: DALE GRAHAM
IPC: B61K9/10
Filed: 2005-05-20
Abstract: A rail defect is detected using a rail defect detecting system 28 that travels along the rail (e.g. an ultrasonic fault detector mounted on an inspection test vehicle), and the absolute position of the defect is determined using data relating to the time at which the rail defect detecting system 28 passes a plurality of position indicators 30 (e.g. mile posts, automatic warning magnets, landmarks) along with data from the vehicle encoder 32. Position data identifying the position indicators 30, and relative distance data indicative of the distance travelled by the rail defect detecting system 28 over time is obtained, and time stamps 36 applied to both the position and relative distance data. The position of and identified rail fault is obtained by determining the position of the defect detecting system 28 relative to the identified position of a position indicator 30 at the time the defect is identified. The position indicators 30 may be recognised automatically using optical recognition RFID tags, GPS etc.

Title: Detecting a leak in a cooling system
Inventor: LEATHERBARROW DAVID
IPC: G01M3/18
Filed: 2005-07-26
Abstract: A cooling system for example for cooling a blade server consists of a number of pipes carrying a coolant such as carbon dioxide and a sensor for detecting leakage of the coolant. A volume 4, 5 is arranged to surround an area of the cooling pipes that is prone to leaks e.g. a U-bend. The volume collects any coolant that leaks from the pipes and is provided with sensors 6, 7 to detect coolant leakage before the performance of the cooling system deteriorates significantly. The volume also traps escaped coolant and prevents contamination or damage to the surroundings. The sensors may also trigger an alarm to signal a leak in the cooling system.

Title: Monitoring a high availability cluster using a smart card
Inventor: POMARANSKI KEN GARY
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2005-08-09
Abstract: A high availability cluster includes a plurality of computing nodes 110 and clustering software to manage the cluster. A smart card 120 is connected to each of the nodes and monitors the status of the nodes. The nodes may transmit a heartbeat signal which the smart card checks. If the heart beat signal is not being transmitted, then the smart card informs the clustering software that the node is down. The smart card may also generate its own heartbeat signal. The smart card may also read a chassis code or system log to determine the health status of the node. If the health status indicates that the node is down, the smart card may reset the node. If the health status indicates that the node is degraded below a threshold, then the smart card may initiate a failover process.

Title: Power tool with three mode overload clutch
Inventor: STIRM MICHAEL
IPC: B25F5/00
Filed: 2002-09-13
Abstract: A power tool, g a hammer drill, has a first mode of operation in which a first set drive balls 113a are urged into engagement with drive pockets 115a of a small diameter driven gear 13c by portion 121a of actuating shaft 121. In a second mode of operation a second set of drive balls 113b are pushed radially outwardly by portion 121a into engagement with large driven gear 13d. When portion 121b of the actuating shaft 21 is radially inward of drive balls 113b the drive balls move radially inwardly disengaging with drive pockets 115d so that no drive is transmitted to drive shaft 5. In a third mode of operation the portion 21b of the actuating shaft 21 is radially inwardly of both sets of drive balls 113a, 113b both sets are disengaged from the drive pockets 115a, 115b and no rotary drive is transmitted between the driven gears 13c, 13d and the drive shaft 5. Thus the overload clutch in the first mode transmits drive to the shaft 5 below a first predetermine torque and stops drive above the first torque while in the second mode it transmits drive below a second predetermined torque and stops torque above the second torque and in the third mode the overload clutch cuts off drive to the shaft 5 in response to a mode change mechanism (126, 128, fig 11A).

Title: Injection devices
Inventor: BICKNELL STEPHEN
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: An injection device has a main drive module which can screwed into the back of a syringe housing 12 to prepare the injector ready for use. The drive module has a firing button and a drive plunger released for forward movement by pressing the firing button. The syringe housing slideably receives a syringe holder 36 whose forward movement is initially prevented by internally directed barbs 46 on a cylindrical latching sleeve 42. The latching sleeve is acted upon by a release ring 50 on the drive module such that as the drive module is screwed onto the syringe housing, the release ring splays the cylindrical shell to release the syringe carrier for forward movement. The barbs 46 also act as a latch to latch the syringe carrier in its rearward position when the drive module is unscrewed from the syringe housing, which returns the barbs 46 to their initial position before the syringe holder returns to its initial position.
