Title: Land drainage pipe adapter
Inventor: FIELDHOUSE JOHN
IPC: F16L41/02
Filed: 2010-06-21
Abstract: The invention is concerned with connecting branch pipes to main drainage pipes. A generally tubular adapter designed to receive a branch pipe is inserted a short way into a hole cut in the wall of the main pipe. It rests by way of a flange or collar portion against the wall of the main pipe so as to locate the adapter in position. Here the tube is slit so that it can be compressed for insertion into the hole, but in other embodiments the flange can rest against the outside of the main pipe. The installer can thus cut the hole, fit the adapter by application solely from one side of the main pipe, without further excavation being necessary, and then push or screw in the branch pipe. This is an easier process, and also allows a better water flow because of the hole in the pipe wall that corresponds to the diameter of the branch pipe.

Title: Driving a retard feeder in reverse prior to sheet feeding
Inventor: HAGOS SAMUEL
IPC: B65H3/52
Filed: 2011-12-07
Abstract: In known fully active retard feeders initial feeding may be poor due to contamination build-up and/or roll "set" when left in position overnight and this may lead to skipped pitches and/or misfeeds during initial feeding. To address this a method for improving the performance in fully active retard feeders includes driving a feed or separation roll 52 and retard roll 53 pair of a sheet feeder backwards prior to feeding sheets S1, S2. The rolls 52, 53 may be driven in a reverse feed direction periodically during idle periods and as part of a warm-up cycle. The reverse driving may increase the temperature of the rolls 52, 53, thereby increasing their coefficient of friction. The reverse driving may also clean surface debris from the rolls 52, 53 and/or allow flat spots on the rolls 52, 53 to relax. The rolls 52, 53 may be driven counterclockwise during reverse feeding. The sheet feeder may form part of reprographic apparatus or a xerographic device.

Title: Storage Area Network (SAN) multi-pathing
Inventor: SCALES WILLIAM JAMES
IPC: H04L45/24
Filed: 2012-05-02
Abstract: A method and system for Storage Area Network (SAN) multi-pathing are provided. The method comprising: having options of sending an (Input/Output) I/O request to a first SAN type 121 and sending an I/O request to a second SAN type 122, wherein the first SAN type has a higher I/O per second performance characteristic than the second SAN type. The method further comprising: receiving an I/O request; and determining the length of the I/O request; and if the length is below a threshold length, sending the I/O request to the first SAN type; if the length is above a threshold length, sending the I/O request to the second SAN type. In addition, the method may comprise determining if a bandwidth of the second SAN type is full for a time period, and if full, sending an I/O request with a length above the threshold length to the first SAN type. The arrangement is particularly suitable in SAN networks which have been upgraded and comprise SAN portions of differing performance characteristics such as comprising a first portion of Fibre Channel type 121 and a second portion of iSCSI type 122 or where the SAN network comprises a first portion of older (slower) Fibre Channel (e.g. 2 or 4 Gb/s) and a second portion of newer (quicker) Fibre Channel (e.g. 8Gb/s). This may reflect that Fibre Channel has good performance characteristics for smaller I/O per second (IOPs) intensive requests whereas iSCSI has relatively high overheads for short I/O requests. The arrangement may be embodied in a multi-pathing driver 111 comprising a path type selection component 112.

Abstract: A mobile communications system provides a wideband downlink first carrier, the first carrier providing resource elements across a first frequency range for communicating data. A plurality of resource elements are provided within a second narrowband frequency range 501 which is within the first frequency range. Each sub-frame includes a first wideband control channel 300 in a part of each sub-frame having a bandwidth corresponding substantially to the first frequency range, and a second narrow band control channel 502 in a second part of each sub-frame and having a bandwidth which is less than the first wideband control channel and a duration of the second narrow band control channel within the sub-frame is greater than a duration of the first wideband control channel within the sub-frame. The second narrow band control channel is configured for communicating control information to both wideband mobile communications devices and narrowband mobile communications devices and forms part of the plurality of the communications resource elements of the second frequency range of the second carrier. By arranging for the narrow band control channel to be within the virtual carrier and to communicate control information to both first full capability communications devices and second reduced capability communications devices, the second reduced capability devices can access the narrow band control channel which is shared with the first full-capability mobile devices. This arrangement makes more use of the communications resources available to the communications system.
