Title: Cabinet having sliding drawers with latching arrangement
Inventor: TSAI MU HUO
IPC: E05B65/46
Filed: 2006-10-04
Abstract: A cabinet 10 comprises a chamber 11 bounded by two side walls 12 and includes one or more sets of guide rails 13 attached to the walls for slidably receiving one or more drawers 30. Each of the guide rails include a catch 14 extending downwards at the front. Each drawer has a front face 33 with a flange 34 to which a plate 40 is pivotally attached. A cover 50 is secured to the plate and together they form a front handle or operating means. Latch members 60 are connected to each end of the plate and these are able to cooperate with the catches. Spring members 38 bias the plate to a condition in which the latches and catches engage each other. In this condition the drawers are prevented from inadvertent extension. A drawer can be opened by pivoting the front handle to release the latch followed by applying a pulling force to extend it forwards. On pushing the drawer back the latch automatically engages with the catch to secure the drawer in the closed position.

Title: Techniques to manage retransmissions in a wireless network
Inventor: LI QINGHUA
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2005-12-09
Abstract: Multiple MPDUs may be aggregated into a single physical (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU), as defined by the IEEE 802.11n Proposed Standard. The PPDU may include a block acknowledgement request (BAR). The BAR may indicate the end of a PPDU. When a receiving device receives the PPDU, it waits to receive the BAR. Once the BAR is received, the receiving device may acknowledge receipt of the PPDU using a block acknowledgement (ACK) in response to the BAR. In this manner, the transmitting device may not necessarily need to initiate a new transfer for every single MPDU, thereby potentially increasing transfer efficiency and throughput A PPDU may include information which can be used to estimate the transmission duration of a given PPDU. Once the transmission duration for a given PPDU is estimated, the receiving device may use the estimate to determine when to generate a block ACK in the event a BAR is delayed or not received at all.

Title: Two-stage digestion of wastes
Inventor: CARSON JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 2007-08-02
Abstract: A two stage microbial digestion process applied to two or more waste streams concurrently so as to convert wastes such as cellulosic and proteinaceous matter into methane plus agronomic products, the process is applicable to a wide range of both currently produced and tipped domestic commercial and industrial wastes. The first stage of the process is anaerobic digestion and the second step is aerobic digestion. The cellulosic waste 1 in the form of a cake 2 containing bioaccelerant 3 is fed into the anaerobic digester 4, together with some returned anaerobic elute as an initiator 5 and some aerobic elute as feed 6. The elute from the anaerobic stage 11 is added to the aerobic digester 17 with the predominantly proteinaceous waste 13 and aerobic bio-accelerator 14. Some NPK nutrients may also be added. A small quantity of the aerobic elute 23 may be returned to the aerobic digester 17. The bio-accelerants are partly derived from within the process and may be comprised of sugars, inorganic salts and organic nitrogen sources. The products may advantageously be presented in dried form via the in-process consumption of the methane generated. Products include humus, peat free composts, advanced growing mediums, organic and semi organic fertilisers and prolonged release polymeric agronomic nutrients.

Title: Basestation measurement modes
Inventor: CARTER ALAN
IPC: H04W76/04
Filed: 2007-02-02
Abstract: A basestation for a cellular communications network is intended to provide coverage over a small area, which may be within an area that already has cellular coverage from one or more existing basestations. The basestation is therefore able to detect signals transmitted from the other basestations, in order to make measurements of the radio environment. In particular, the basestation may be able to receive signals periodically on the system downlink frequencies. This allows the basestation to operate successfully within the environment which may contain several macro and micro basestations, while limiting interference. A method is also described for a basestation capable of connecting to a mobile device (without establishing a call) to receive measurement reports.

Title: Hand-held vacuum cleaner
Inventor: GREEN LEWIS
IPC: A47L5/24
Filed: 2009-04-09
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner is configured to pick-up relatively large debris matter such as cigarette butts and the like. The vacuum cleaner comprises a housing (101, fig 1) defines an internal chamber having an inlet 102 through which air flows into the device. A tubular elongate duct 401 open at both ends is mounted within the housing (101, fig 1) and extends from the region of the inlet 102. An air permeable material arranged as a debris collection bag 303 is removably retained in position over the duct 401 and extends from the region of the inlet 102 so as to provide an entrapment zone around the region of the duct 401. Suitable airflow drive means 300, 301 are mounted within the housing (101, fig 1) and are configured to create a suction airflow through the device from the inlet 102 to an exhaust outlet. The airflow stream passes through the air permeable material of the bag 303 which acts to prevent the debris matter from passing downstream of the bag 303 to the airflow drive means 300, 301. The bag 303 and the collected debris matter may then be removed from the cleaner and discarded.

Title: Pipe coupling device
Inventor: LI HUNG-TI
IPC: F16L37/088
Filed: 2009-05-14
Abstract: Device designed to withstand thermal expansion and contraction, for coupling a giving end of a first pipe 1 having a groove 11 and a receiving end of a second pipe 5 having threads 51 around the inner wall, a gradually shrunk diameter to form a slant section 52 and a circular flange, the device containing a rubber ring 26, a tubular screw 2, a C-shaped ring 3, and a rubber washer 4. The C-shaped ring is embedded in a groove 11 of the giving end of the first pipe which is threaded through the rubber ring, the tubular screw and the rubber washer and is plugged into the receiving end of second pipe. Inside the tubular screw 2, the diameter is gradually shrunk to form a horn-shaped space with a slant wall. When the tubular screuT is screwed into the receiving end of the second pipe, the slant wall forces the C-shaped ring 3, and thereby the giving end of the first pipe, to gradually advance. In the mean time, the bottom of the tubular screw 2 presses the rubber washer tightly against the second pipe to effectively prevent leakage.

Title: False colour image display of three component seismic data
Inventor: LAAKE ANDREAS WOLFGANG
IPC: G01V1/34
Filed: 2006-12-21
Abstract: A stack of seismic traces is sorted 310 into stacks of PP, PS radial and PS transverse seismic data, and each stack is represented 320 as a subimage. The subimages may be a red, green and blue, or cyan, magenta and yellow. The subimages are merged 330 to create a false color image (e.g. JPEG, TIFF) which may be used to interpret 340 the data on the basis of the hue and saturation of the false colour image. The hue and saturation are indicative of one or more seismic wave modes corresponding to one or more responses to changes in lithology in geologic strata in a reservoir. The method enables structural and stratigraphic interpretation of the reservoir, such as identification of reservoir delineation, fault zones and anisotropy.
