20140083520 | DEVICE FOR CONSECUTIVE CONSUMPTION OF LIQUID FROM CONTAINER AND SMOKE - A device for use with a container containing liquid and having an opening for the consecutive consumption of the liquid and of smoke that has been drawn into the container. The device comprises a body, a combustion receptacle, and a tubular structure. An inlet end of the body engages the container, and an outlet end can be placed at the mouth of a user. The tubular structure connects the combustion receptacle with the interior of the liquid container. When smoking material is combusted and the container is inverted, outflow of liquid from the container through the body, in most instances into a user's mouth, creates negative pressure within the container, drawing in smoke from the combustion receptacle. Once most or all of the liquid has flowed out of the container, the user may then inhale the smoke in the container through the body. | 03-27-2014 |

20110006567 | ENERGY ABSORPTION APPARATUS - An energy absorption apparatus for protecting occupants of different body weights from the effects of excessive G-force by absorbing energy imparted on a vehicle during an explosion occurring below the vehicle. The apparatus has a first mounting member attached to the vehicle, a second mounting member attached to the occupant's seat, and an absorption mechanism attached between the first and second mounting members. The absorption mechanism utilises an attenuation strip provided on one of the mounting members, and anvils provided on the other of the mounting members such that when the vehicle is subjected to excessive G-force, the attenuation strip is bent and pulled through the anvils thereby producing a frictional attenuation force which controls movement of the seat relative to the vehicle. An absorption adjustment mechanism is provided. Methods of protecting a vehicle occupant from the effects of excessive G-force are also provided. | 01-13-2011 |

20090161638 | TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A basestation of a telecommunications network is able to acquire timing information by sending a single time request message over a computer network to a time server, with the time request message specifying a number of time response messages, said number being greater than one. Based on the received specified number of time response messages from the time server, the basestation is able to calibrate an internal oscillator. | 06-25-2009 |
20090163246 | OSCILLATOR CALIBRATION - A basestation for a cellular communication system has an interface, for connection to a computer network, and also includes an oscillator, for generating wireless transmit and receive frequencies. A controller receives timestamped response messages from a time server over the computer network, each response message being subject to a network propagation delay, which is a sum of a minimum network propagation delay and a jitter component. For each received response message an apparent network propagation delay is determined as a function of a difference between a first timestamp applied by the time server and a second timestamp based on a clock derived from said oscillator. A subset of the received response messages are selected, whose network propagation delays include minimal jitter components. The frequency accuracy of the oscillator is then determined based on changes over time in the apparent network propagation delays of the selected received response messages. The oscillator can then be adjusted based on this frequency accuracy. | 06-25-2009 |

20100255573 | EXTRACTION AND PURIFICATION OF BIOLOGIGAL CELLS USING ULTRASOUND - A process is described in which biological cells are separated from a material sample, such as blood or soil, in which the material sample is formed as a suspension in a fluid and introduced into a chamber. One or more acoustic pressure nodes aggregate the material sample, and a flow of fluid removes soluble matter from the aggregate leaving the biological cells and other inert materials at the node(s). In one aspect of the invention the biological materials are separated from inhibitors that might render their subsequent analysis in, for example, a PCR system difficult. In another aspect of the invention a method is described to extract a clean DNA sample for such biological cells. | 10-07-2010 |
