Title: Mounting for a shower curtain rod
Filed: 2010-12-02
Abstract: A mounting for a shower curtain rod 30 is disclosed. The mounting comprises a first part 10 having a bracket 11 for mounting to a wall and a bearing section 12, which is rotatably mounted with respect to the bracket about a first axis II-II. The first axis is substantially horizontal in use. The mounting further comprises a second part 20 for engaging the rod 30. It is mounted so that it can rotate with respect to the first part 10 about a second axis I-I, which is at an angle to the first axis and substantially vertical in use. The mount can therefore accept rods entering the mounting at a wider variety of angles and allows the rod to adapt a first, outwardly bowed position and a second, inwardly bowed position. In a second embodiment the rod 30 comprises a socket or projection for receiving a projection or socket from a bracket. The projection has at least two friction surfaces 24 for engaging the inner wall of the socket and a wedge or cam 40 is provided for urging the friction surfaces 24 into contact with the inside of the socket.

Title: Liquid-dispensers
Filed: 2012-04-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid-dispenser 1 for dispensing discrete measures of liquid from a bottle (26 figure 4) to which it is secured air-tightly by a clip 28. The dispenser has a chamber 13 formed within abutting top and bottom plastic mouldings 2, 3. The chamber 13 is divided by parallel walls 18, 21 into first and second main liquid-containment regions 23, 25 with an interconnecting region 24 between the walls 18, 21. Tipping the dispenser 1 forwards from the upright causes filling of the first region 23 via an inlet spigot 7 inserted into the bottle-neck (27 figure 26), and partial filling of the interconnecting region 24 from the first region 23. Return of the dispenser 1 to the upright transfers the liquid from these regions 23, 24 to fill the second region 25 and only partly the interconnecting region 24. This charges the dispenser 1 ready for dispensing a discrete measure of the liquid from the second region 25 via an outlet spout 5 when the dispenser 1 is next tipped forwards. The spout 5 may be externally screw-threaded for closing off by the bottle-cap.

Title: Nucleic acid extraction
Filed: 2012-05-25
Abstract: A method and device for extracting nucleic acids from a biological sample is described. The device includes a substrate, such as a cellulose filter, functionalised with a biocidal agent having multiple functional groups including a binding moiety, which is involved in binding the agent to the substrate; a hydrophobic moiety; and a charged moiety. The various functional groups serve to bind the agent to the substrate, weaken or lyse the cell wall or membrane of the sample, and retain nucleic acids on the substrate. A preferred biocidal agent is a silylated quaternary ammonium compound (SiQAC), for example 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyldimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride.

Patent GB-201312676-D0 (GB)
Title: An improved focused acoustic transducer
Filed: 2011-01-18
Abstract: A focused acoustic transducer suitable for use in a downhole environment is disclosed. At least some embodiments employ a disk of piezoelectric material with low planar coupling and low Poisson's ratio mounted on a backing material and sealed inside an enclosure. The piezoelectric material disk has a pattern of electrodes deposited on an otherwise smooth, ungrooved surface. Despite the lack of grooves, the material's low planar coupling and low Poisson's ratio enables the electrodes to operate in a phased relationship to provide and receive focused acoustic pulses. Moreover, the elimination of deep cuts offers a much lower cost of construction. The electrode material may be any conductive material, though silver and silver alloys are contemplated. The patterning of electrodes can occur during the deposition process (e.g., using a silk-screen or other printing technique) or afterwards (e.g., mechanically or chemically with an etch technique that uses a pre- or post-deposition photoresist layer).

Title: Firearms with rotary magazines
Inventor: BRINT NORMAN TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/02
Filed: 1981-06-29
Granted: 1985-01-17
Abstract: A firearm especially for firing large calibre rounds such as rubber bullets and having a rotary magazine (2) which is rechargeable at any stage of depletion. A loading (63) arm serves to guide rounds through an inlet opening in the magazine (2), in such a way that they are received into corresponding locations in a rotating carrier (46, 47), and the carrier rotates forward one position with each additional round. Until the penultimate round, the guide means (63, 64, 65) is locked to the magazine body (40). In this position, it obstructs further movement of the first-inserted round and thus prevents insertion of the final round. Mechanism is described by which, on insertion of the final round the guide means automatically unlocks from the magazine body and locks to the rotating carrier. In this condition it serves to keep the first inserted round locked in the magazine as it completes a full rotation to come opposite the inlet opening once more. Mechanism for firing automatic indexing the carrier, and automatic extraction and election of spent cartridges is described.

Title: Distillation process and apparatus by successive separations
Inventor: DEVOS ANDRE
IPC: C10G7/00
Filed: 1985-02-20
Granted: 1987-09-03
Abstract: The process consists in successively separating increasingly heavy petroleum cuts at the head of a plurality of columns CO1, CO2, CO3 and Cl0 of a first series of columns which feed individually each column of the second series. The column CO7 is a gasoline stabilizing column which feeds an installation for fractionating light petroleum gases. The column CO4 is a gasoline fractionating column. The columns CO5 and CO6 are columns for separating petroleum naphthas from kerosine. The atmospheric residue collected at the bottom of the column Cl0 is processed in the vacuum distillation column Cl2 and the residue from this column is processed in the second vacuum distillation column Cl3 after reheating in a furnace. By carrying out a succession of progressive separations performed in a series of columns of small volume, more efficient utilization of the recovery heat is achieved.
