20130196156 | CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF CARBON NANOTUBE FIBRES - The polymerisation of material contained within and/or added to high temperature reactor produced carbon nanotube fibre wherein the contained material is crosslinked. | 08-01-2013 |
20130309473 | Carbon Materials Comprising Carbon Nanotubes and Methods of Making Carbon Nanotubes - The present invention relates to carbon materials comprising carbon nanotubes, powders comprising carbon nanotubes and methods of making carbon nanotubes. In the methods of the present invention, the size and/or formation of floating catalyst particles is closely controlled. The resulting carbon nanotubes typically exhibit armchair chirality and typically have metallic properties. The carbon nanotubes produced by this method readily form bulk materials, which typically have a conductivity of at least 0.7×106 Sm″1 in at least one direction. The invention has particular application to the manufacture of components such as electrical conductors. Suitable electrical conductors include wires (e.g. for electrical motors) and cables (e.g. for transmitting electrical power). | 11-21-2013 |

20160031600 | Combination Container for Edible Products - A combination container comprising at least one divider defining at least two chambers is provided for the packaging of two or more edible products that may be mixed prior to consumption. The combination container provides for more precise mixing of two or more edible products to desired proportions. The two or more edible products may include, for example, distinctly different cereal pieces desired to be mixed in specific ratios. Further, the combination container comprises separate and distinct tabs and in-cuts to allow for the independent opening and closing of each chamber. | 02-04-2016 |

20090161880 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO CREATE A SOUND FIELD - The invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for taking an input signal, replicating it a number of times and modifying each of the replicas before routing them to respective output transducers such that a desired sound field is created. This sound field may comprise a directed beam, focused beam or a simulated origin. In a first aspect, delays are added to sound channels to remove the effects of different travelling distances. In a second aspect, a delay is added to a video signal to account for the delays added to the sound channels. In a third aspect, different window functions are applied to each channel to give improved flexibility of use. In a fourth aspect, a smaller extent of transducers is used top output high frequencies than are used to output low frequencies. An array having a larger density of transducers near the center is also provided. In a fifth aspect, a line of elongate transducers is provided to give good directivity in a plane. In a sixth aspect, sound beams are focused in front or behind surfaces to give different beam widths and simulated origins. In a seventh aspect, a camera is used to indicate where sound is directed. | 06-25-2009 |

20090296964 | Compact surround-sound effects system - A loudspeaker suitable for the generation of surround-sound effects comprising a plurality of transducers that are together arranged to generate one or more beams of sound, at least one of which beams is steerable, wherein the transducers are arranged to reproduce sound only at frequencies higher than a selected lower frequency limit of 250 Hz or more. The loudspeaker may be foldable or dismantable so as to allow greater portability and may have means for interacting with an external electronics device, for example to allow low frequency sound signals to be reproduced by woofers in the external device. | 12-03-2009 |
20130279723 | ARRAY LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM - A sound reproduction system for producing sound and 3D sound at the listener position by directing beams from an array loudspeaker using differential apodisation. Optionally, cross-talk cancellation is applied to beams directed to the listener's left and right ears. | 10-24-2013 |

20090296954 | Method and apparatus to direct sound - The invention relates to sonic steerable antennae and their use to achieve a variety of effects. The invention comprises a method and apparatus for taking an input signal, replicating it a number of times and modifying each of the replicas before routing them to respective output transducers such that a desired sound field is created. This sound field may comprise a directed beam, focus beam or a simulated origin. Further, “anti-sound” may be directed so as to create nulls (quiet spots) in an already existing sound field. The input signal replicas may also be modified in way which changes their amplitude or they may be filtered to provide the desired delaying. Reflective or resonant surfaces may be used to achieve a surround sound effect, a microphone may be located in front of an array of loudspeakers, beams of light may be used to identify the present focal position, a limiting device may be used to ensure that clipping or distortion is reduced when more than one input signal is output by the same device and the concept of beam directivity may be used to achieve input nulls or beams in a microphone made up of an array of input transducers. Further, sound field shaping information may be associated with an audio signal to be broadcast. | 12-03-2009 |

20090081055 | WAVE POWERED PUMPING APPARATUS - An apparatus is disclosed for an improved float type wave powered pump that uses the continuous rising and falling wave action in a body of water to pump a fluid. The pump includes piston and cylinder assemblies that are configured for relative reciprocal movement therebetween. One of the assemblies is anchored to the floor of the body of water and the other is vertically moveable in response to a drive float riding on a wave. The pump selectively includes a tide compensating device to reduce the ratio of vertical travel of the drive float to vertical travel of the moveable assembly. The pump also selectively includes a fluid inlet check valve incorporating a support plate of the piston assembly with openings therein and a cover for the same. The pump further selectively includes a directional pressure-activated seal at the point of sliding connection between the piston rod and the cylinder. | 03-26-2009 |
