Patent BR-9915213-A (BR)
Inventor: BOERS ARIE
IPC: B65B1/30
Filed: 1999-11-09
Abstract: A system for dispensing liquid paint components from their original containers into a paint receptacle according to a paint formula to form a liquid paint mixture. The dispensing system comprises a dispensing apparatus for dispensing the liquid paint component from its original container, and an apparatus for controlling the dispensing apparatus. The dispensing apparatus includes a mechanism for releasably receiving the original container of the liquid paint component, and a mechanism for dispensing the liquid paint component from its original container into the paint receptacle. The control apparatus includes a weigh cell and a control module coupled to the weigh cell and the dispensing mechanism. The weigh cell supports the paint receptacle to determine the weight of the liquid paint component dispensed into the paint receptacle. The control module controls the amount of the liquid paint component dispensed from its original container into the receptacle based upon information obtained from the weigh cell. The dispensing system virtually eliminates liquid paint component dispensing errors, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the dispensing system operator.

Title: A data shaper for ATM traffic
Inventor: WICKLUND GOERAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for prioritizing ATM cells within time transmission slots is disclosed. The present invention takes cells which have been prioritized by traditional priority circuitry and adds to them information regarding the need to begin transmitting cells in the current time slot in order to ensure that a list of cells which must be transmitted by a future time slot can all be transmitted timely. If no list of cells in a future time slot mandate immediately transmission in the current time slot, a cell from the standard prioritization buffer will be transmitted. If, on the other hand, a subsequent slot contains so many entries that one of its cells must be transmitted in the current slot in order to ensure that all cells in the list are transmitted before their time deadline, one of the cells from the subsequent time slot list will be transmitted in lieu of the standard priority cell of the current slot.

Title: A method of scaling the presention of bar charts on a monitor when scrolling
Inventor: OLIVER PETER I
IPC: G06F3/0485
Filed: 2000-05-08
Abstract: The prior art relates to a method of displaying a bar chart on a screen in which the length of the longest of the bars is adjusted to a suitable length (eg to just fit the screen) and the rest are scaled by the same ratio. This can lead to some bars being rather small. The present invention alleviates this disadvantage, at least in the case where the bars are arranged in order and where there are more bars than will fit on the screen, by re-determining and adjusting the longest visible bar and re-scaling the other visible bars whenever the screen is scrolled. The invention may be used in network management.

Title: Pest control device comprising a flexible elongate strip coated on at least 1 side with molluscicide which can be joined end to end or with other such devices
Inventor: LLEWELLYN-JONES JOHN ADRIAN
IPC: A01N25/34
Filed: 2000-06-05
Abstract: A pest control device for controlling molluscs, such as slugs and snails, in gardens and other environments comprises an elongate strip of flexible substrate material (12), which is coated on at least one side thereof with a molluscicide. In use, the device can be joined end-to-end with itself or other devices around the stem of a plant or around an entire border or other area of the garden. This can be achieved by means of a region of adhesive (14) at one end of the strip or by engaging slots (13) at each end of the strip. Slugs and snails are unable to reach the growing plants without climbing over the physical barrier and coming into contact with the molluscicide thereon. The strips can be manufactured by coating a sheet (10) of flexible material (eg cardboard or plastics) with a molluscicide (eg by applying latex adhesive to the sheet and subsequently sprinkling with powered or granular molluscicide) and then stamping scoring lines of weakness (11), thus dividing the sheet into strips.

Title: Noise attenuation arrangements for pressurised-gas conduits
Inventor: COULON JEAN-MICHEL
IPC: F02M35/12
Filed: 2000-09-26
Abstract: A noise attenuation arrangement, particularly suitable for attenuating noise radiated by a conduit (10) carrying pressurised air from a turbo-compressor in an internal combustion engine, is in the form of cavities (14) (Figure 2) arranged around the outside of the surface of the conduit (10), and connected to the interior of the conduit by slots (16). In this case, sound attenuation is produced in part by the Helmholtz resonator effect and in part by reflection of the acoustic waves caused by the change in section between the conduit (10) and the attenuator (12). The Helmholtz resonator effect of the different cavities produces attenuation at different frequencies according to the volume of each cavity and the sizes of the slots (16). The attenuator arrangement is advantageously produced by a plastics injection process in two parts, one comprising a portion of the conduit (10) and a body portion forming the cavities (14) with longitudinally positioned adjacent ends, which are closed off by the second part which is in the form of a cover plate. Other noise attenuation arrangements using the quarter-wave resonator effect are also disclosed, comprising cavities arranged round the outside of the conduit.

Patent GB-2375796-A (GB)
Title: Supplying turbo-diesel i.c. engines with supplementary fuel
Inventor: STOTT WILLIAM MAY
IPC: F02D19/08
Filed: 2001-04-24
Abstract: By supplying a supplementary fuel such as LPG or CNG with the turbo boost intake air, the combustion of the injected primary fuel oil can be improved, reducing emission levels. The supplementary fuel may be gaseous, introduced via a nozzle into the intake air system upstream of the turbo air inlet, and/or may be liquid, injected after the turbo compressor/intercooler exit so that the heat generated by compression vaporises the fuel. No additional intake pressure drop losses are incurred. The engine may be operated in primary fuel only mode or with both primary and supplementary fuel when operating in an appropriate load range; for example supply of supplementary fuel may begin at 30% turbo boost air pressure, reach a maximum at 50% and cease at 70%. Main fuel consumption is thus reduced by the partial use of the more economical and ecologically acceptable supplementary fuel. The necessary equipment can be retro-fitted to existing turbo diesel engines.
