Title: Autoinjector with locking mechanism at the injection end
Inventor: EDWARDS ERIC SHAWN
IPC: A61M5/19
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: An injection device (1000, figure 1) holds a medicament container (12262, figure 16A) which is driven by an energy storage means 3560 such as a spring or a canister of pressurised gas. Operation of the device is caused by movement of a trigger member 3520 forming the base of the injector which is disposed partly within and partly outside of the device housing (1100, figure 1). A locking member 3170 is removably coupled to the bottom of the housing and has a protrusion 3174 which engages with projections 3548 on the energy storage means such as cam legs 3548. Whilst the locking member is engaged, the energy storage means cannot be triggered. In operation, the locking member is pulled away from the injector which is then pressed against the patient to trigger the injection.

Title: A method and apparatus of controlling a clutch during a free rolling start
Inventor: HALLERON IAN
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2012-05-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus of controlling an engagement of a clutch 53 of a motor vehicle 51 in which during a free rolling start, if a transmission ratio of a manual transmission 55 selected for the engagement is currently unsuitable, the engagement of the clutch 53 is inhibited.

Title: Selecting and loading a subset of data from a database backup
Inventor: EMANOWICZ KONRAD
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2012-10-19
Abstract: A backup image of a database is used to load a subset of data from the database into a target system for testing or other purposes. A subset statement 500, defining a subset of data in the database, is selected by a user. The databases metadata is then used to identify the tables comprising the database. A target database 44.2 is constructed which duplicates the structure of the identified tables, but not their data. Table statements defining the subset of each table required are generated based on the subset statement; and, using the table statements as filters, selected data is unloaded from the backup image into the target database. This allows a production database to be replicated without impacting on the active dataset and with a degree of specificity, so that the target database can be generated faster and more in line with the storage capabilities of the target system.

Title: Method and system for determining downhole optical fiber orientation and/or location
Inventor: FARHADIROUSHAN MAHMOUD
IPC: G01V3/30
Filed: 2014-05-16
Abstract: Energy is imparted by a transducer 36a to the inner surface of the casing 54 or other production tubing in a wellbore. The energy may be acousto-vibrational energy (e.g. from a tapper device), or heat energy (e.g. from a heated probe which contacts the inner surface, or from a laser directed at a point on the inner surface). The energy may imparted around the circumference of the casing or other tubing, and a fiber optic distributed sensor 56 located on the outer surface of the casing or other tubing is used to measure and record the energy that it receives whilst the transducer is moved to impart energy around the circumference. A record of energy versus position of the probe around the circumference can be obtained, from which maxima in the detected energy measurements can then be found. The position around the circumference which gave the maximum measurement should be the position at which the optical fiber of the fiber optic distributed sensor is located. This may be used to control the orientation of a perforation gun so that the fibre optic sensor is protected from damage.
