Title: Drum for a creasing device
Inventor: HARRIS GRAHAM
IPC: B31B50/00
Filed: 2005-08-20
Abstract: A drum 2 for mounting the resilient creasing ring 8 of a creasing device is formed in two parts 14,15, each having a cylindrical outer surface 12 and a bore for mounting the drum part about a shaft 4. The first and second drum parts 14,15 are shaped such that they may abut one another to define between them the base 18 and two side walls 20, 21 of a channel 6 for receiving the resilient creasing ring 8. At least one side wall 20,21 of the channel 6 is recessed so that a resilient creasing ring 8 located in the channel 6 and projecting laterally into the recess cannot be withdrawn radially from the channel 6. As a result, it is no longer required that the ring 8 be under tension to hold it in place so a split ring 8 can be used and replacement rings can be added to the device without removing the shaft 4 from the machine in which it is mounted.

Title: Combined light emitting diode and extrusion carriage for use on three dimensional modelling machines
Inventor: TEBBITT JOHN
IPC: B29C67/00
Filed: 2006-03-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a combined Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D) and extrusion carriage used on a three dimensional modelling machine such as that used in Fused Deposition Modelling (F.D.M). A nozzle (4 figure 2) builds a perimeter wall in multi layers of a formulated transparent but weak material that may be easily removed from the model when finished. The perimeter wall 2 (figure 2) width is determined by setting a centre rod 12 (figure 4) that allows a lifting bar 7-1 (figure 5) to open one, two 7-2 (figure 6) or three sections 7-1-2-3 (figure 4). The three sections allow material for a support platform matching the size of the produced model to be laid down without any wastage. When the model shape 6 (figure 2) and the outer wall 2 (figure 2) have been built to the same level, the extrusion carriage 1 is lowered under computer control to a distance above the previous material without opening the lifting bar 7-1-2-3 (figure 4). The Light Emitting Diodes 10 are switched on and the extrusion carriage 1 travels along the area of the model and perimeter wall curing the material. On the return movement the extrusion carriage 1 is lowered on top of the cured perimeter wall which automatically opens the lifting bar against spring pressure 8 (figure 4) and releases the infill support platform material followed by a levelling blade 9 which is then followed by an array of Light Emitting Diodes 10 which cures and sets the infill support platform material.

Inventor: CHOW LAP-WAI
IPC: H01L23/58
Filed: 2003-09-23
Abstract: An integrated circuit is protected from reverse engineering by providing conducting and non-conducting channels which appear identical. Active regions 22, 26 are connected by channel areas 23, 25 and pseudo channel-block structure 29 all of the same conductivity type. A layer of metal silicide is disposed over the active regions 22, 26 and channel areas 23, 25 but not the pseudo channel block structure 29. When reverse engineering techniques are applied edge artefacts 28 of the silicide covering a pseudo channel-blocked conducting channel appear identical to those of a non-conducting channel-blocked channel (figure 1B).

Patent GB-2443234-A (GB)
Title: Near field rf communicators and near field rf communications enabled devices
Inventor: SYMONS PETER
IPC: H01F38/14
Filed: 2006-10-24
Abstract: A near field RF communicator (100) has an inductive coupler (102) and a first signal provider (109, 110, 111) to cause the inductive coupler to provide a first signal that when inductively coupled to the inductive coupler of another near field RF communicator in near field range is insufficient to cause initiation of communication with that other near field RF communicator. A sensor (116) senses a change in an impedance of the inductive coupler (102) due to inductive coupling of the first signal between the inductive couplers of the said near field RF communicator and a said other near field RF communicator in near field range. A controller (107) determines whether or not another near field RF communicator is in near field range on the basis of any change in impedance sensed by the sensor and, if another near field RF communicator is determined to be in near field range, causes a second signal to be inductively coupled to the other near field RF communicator to initiate communication between the two near field RF communicators. The sensor may use a phase detector (118) to enable a change in impedance to be sensed by detecting a change in a current-voltage phase relationship resulting from a change in impedance.

Title: Carbon dioxide absorbed from air and hydrogen from electrolysis of water, for production of carbon monoxide, alcohols, Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons & fuels
Inventor: JOHNSTON DAVID ANDREW
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2007-04-23
Abstract: Carbon dioxide, derived directly or indirectly from the atmosphere (e.g. by sequestration from air using an absorbent or adsorbent material), and hydrogen, derived from water (e.g. by electrolysis), may be reacted to produce a range of organic compounds. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen can be converted into carbon monoxide and water (2) by the reverse water gas shift reaction (or reverse shift reaction). Carbon monoxide and hydrogen can be converted into methane by a methanation reaction (3), or methanol (4), or (by the Fischer-Tropsch process) a range of hydrocarbons. Using moving-bed catalysis (5), gaseous and light liquid fuels (6) such as alcohols, petrol (gasoline) and paraffin (kerosine) can be produced. Using fixed-bed catalysis (7), heavy fuels (8) such as diesel oil can be produced. Such fuels may be used for energy production, for combustion in an engine and for generating electricity in a fuel cell. Heat produced in exothermic reactions may be recovered and used to reduce the energy input requirements of the electrolytic conversion of water to hydrogen and of endothermic reactions.

Title: Flush Control Assembly
Inventor: TODD JONATHAN ADAM
IPC: E03D1/14
Filed: 2007-11-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a toilet flush control assembly 10 connected to an upper part of a siphon (56 figure 7) of a toilet so as to connect the interior of the siphon to atmosphere via the assembly 10 to provide a variable flush facility. The assembly comprises a body (22 figure 4) and a hollow connection (12 figure 2) in the form of a short hollow pipe extending from the body (22 figure 4). The body comprises a base section (24 figure 4) with side walls (26 figure 6). A closure member (40 figure 4) in the form of a disc is rotatably mounted to the body (22 figure 4) so as to be movable with respect to an end opening of the connection member (12 figure 2). The closure member (40 figure 4) comprises one or more differently sized openings (50 figure 4) which align with the end opening of the connection projection (12 figure 2) as the closure member (40 figure 4) is rotated. The amount of water used during a flush cycle may be reduced by selecting one of the larger sized openings (50 figure 4), which allows a greater amount of air to enter the siphon (56 figure 7) during a flush cycle.

Title: LED current regulation
Inventor: SCHIERJOTT MANFRED
IPC: H05B45/50
Filed: 2007-11-27
Abstract: The forward current IL through a light-emission device such as series and/or parallel connected LED 3 for a traffic signalling system (fig 4) is regulated by determining a control value PA from measuring the forward voltage UL and the forward current IL. The forward current IL is regulated so that the control value approximates a reference value UR. The control value PA may be determined by either addition or multiplication of voltages representing forward current UIL and voltage UL2, which can be weighted by correction factors so that their influence on the control value PA is either the same or greater for the forward current IL. Addition of these voltages may be achieved by series connection of a current sensing resistor RIL and a voltage divider comprising resistors RUL1. RUL2. Monitoring the forward voltage takes account of fluctuations between individual diodes and helps to maintain colour uniformity. Faults can be detected by monitoring current (Fig 4, IS1, IS2, IS3 ) emitted to each traffic light.
