Title: Fixation device, structure for fixing member, method for fixing member, and method of releasing fixation effected by fixation device
Inventor: FUKUMOTO MITSURU
IPC: A47G29/00
Filed: 2008-07-24
Abstract: When an insertion section (22) of a grip (14) is inserted into a through hole (16) and passed through the through hole (16), a claw section (32) restores its shape and the upper surface of the claw section (32) becomes capable of making contact with the peripheral edge of the through hole (16). In this state, an operation piece (26) is inserted into a fixation hole (18) in a body panel (10) and passed through the fixation hole (18). Then, the operation piece (26) restores its shape and becomes capable of making contact with the peripheral edge of the fixation hole (18). An operation section (56) is tilted from this state to cause a lock lever (52) to engage with a lock groove (44). By this, movement of the operation piece (26) is restricted and a housing (12) is fixed to the body panel (10).

IPC: E04H12/22
Filed: 2010-04-07
Abstract: A fence post support that can be used either when erecting a new fence or when repairing an existing fence, with minimum effort and materials. The support can be used with posts of differing materials such as wood, metal or concrete providing the posts are suitable to accept the various alternative means of fixing the support to the post, this gives the support great flexibility in its application for supporting fences. The support is a channel formed with a base and two side walls, the base and side walls sit around three sides of a fence post, with the base parallel to the line of the fence. The channel may be fixed to the post by fasteners passing through the side walls, by bolts passing through the channel and the post, by U-bolts or by a cap which fits to the fourth side of the post and clamps the post between the channel and the cap. An alternative fence support has a three sided channel projecting from a flat base.

Title: Submersible pump with bulkhead between impeller and motor
Inventor: LESTER ADRIAN
IPC: F04D13/06
Filed: 2011-08-02
Abstract: A submersible pump comprises a motor housing d and an impeller housing a, and a bulkhead h there between to create two separate chambers. The bulkhead may have a radial pressure release vent (i, figure 3) joining a central cavity, between a bearing and oil seal of the motor on one side and the bearing and oil seal of the impeller on the other side. The presence of the bulkhead reduces the tendency for water to enter the motor bearings or the rotor and stator which may cause failure. The pressure release vent allows water which has passed the impeller oil seal to exit the bulkhead through a drilled conduit to the exterior of the pump, and therefore not apply pressure on the motor bearings or rotor and stator.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Configuring Resource Elements for the Provision of Channel State Information Reference Signals
Inventor: KOIVISTO TOMMI T
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2011-09-01
Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program products define additional resource elements of a physical resource block (PRB) to be allocated for the provision of channel state information reference signals in a manner that does not create issues relating to backwards compatibility for legacy mobile terminals. The method includes receiving a definition of a plurality of resource elements of a PRB to be allocated for provision of channel state information reference signals. At least some of these resource elements correspond in position to resource elements of the PRB that are interpreted by a legacy mobile terminal to be muted. The method may also cause channel state information reference signals to be received via the plurality of resource elements of the PRB that are allocated to legacy terminals for the provision of channel state information reference signals. In another embodiment, some of the plurality of resource elements of the PRB that are allocated to legacy terminals for the provision of channel state information reference signals correspond to muted resource elements for mobile terminals.

Title: Retrieving phase information for holographic image projection
Inventor: CHRISTMAS JAMIESON
IPC: G02B27/01
Filed: 2012-04-12
Abstract: An iterative method of processing a pixellated image to retrieve a phaze distribution representative of an image in the Fourier domain involves padding the image pixels with non-image pixels to increase the total number of pixels in the image. The inserted non-image pixels are subsequently processed differently to the image pixels in order to suppress noise. The result of artificially increasing the Fourier domain hologram pixel-count is an improved phase distribution. As a result, the number of Gerschberg-Saxton iterations required to achieve a hologram (and resultant projected image) may be reduced. The non-image pixels may initially comprise a random noise field or a uniform intensity field. The padding may be inserted such that every other pixel in a row or column is a non-image pixel. Alternatively, the padding may take the form of a border around the original image pixels (figure 4). A projection system using the iterative method is also claimed.

Title: A method of identifying leaks in a fluid carrying conduit using a pig
Inventor: HOFFMAN ANDREW
IPC: F17D5/02
Filed: 2012-08-07
Abstract: A method of determining whether there is a leak in a pipeline for carrying fluids. The method comprises the steps of: at least partially sealing off one or both ends of the pipeline 100; introducing an object 200 (such as a pig) into the pipeline; monitoring a position of the object for a time period; determining a distribution 300 of a velocity of the object as a function of its position; identifying any regions 301 of the distribution where the velocity vanishes; and determining that there is a leak 130 in the pipeline if the magnitude of a gradient of the distribution is greater than a predetermined threshold value in any region where the velocity vanishes. With this method, the presence of a leak in a pipeline can be located significantly faster than with prior art methods, limiting the disruption and expense of leak tests. This method also yields information relating to the location of any leaks detected. There is also disclosed an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Title: Hand held running aide to hold both hands together when jogging
Inventor: THOMAS DANIEL
IPC: A63B21/06
Filed: 2012-10-09
Abstract: A hand held running aide 1 has handles 2 and 3 to be held in each hand and is used during walking, jogging and running. When held in both hands the running aide links the arms together in a unified fashion and encourages a more aligned movement of the arms whilst exercising. Consequently the core muscles enjoy a better workout than if the arms are allowed to swing naturally. The running aide 1 may be weighted by filling a hollow chamber with a consumable fluid or weighted articles. The aide may have a drinking straw through which the water can be drunk and the aide may also incorporate a music player, headphones, lights, a mobile phone or an alarm.
