Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080219603Bulk bag with forklift tine receiving elements and elements therefor - A bulk bag is provided of the type having flexible side walls; a bottom wall configured to define, with the sidewalls, a generally rectangular shape of bag; and a pair of laterally spaced generally parallel flexible sleeve formations associated with the bottom wall. Each of the sleeve formations operatively receives a generally rigid tubular element of generally rectangular cross-sectional configuration such that the two tubular elements may receive the tines of a forklift truck, in use. Each tubular element is composed of two operatively generally horizontal elongate channel shaped components each having a pair of opposed side flanges and a central web interconnecting the side flanges and wherein one channel shaped component is inverted relative to, and fits within, the other to define said tubular element that has a pair of opposed composite side walls each consisting of two overlapping side flanges. The side flanges of the channel shaped components preferably have a series of spaced parallel ribs or strengthening webs extending up the height of the channel from the central web to the free edges of the flanges thereof.09-11-2008

20100146893CLADDING SYSTEM FOR BUILDINGS - A cladding system, intended to exclude water from within a building having a cavity wall structure, includes passive means (a) for minimising any flow of water from the exterior that may reach the interior, and (b) open guides or enclosed channels for diverting such water so that it flows by gravity down the cavity to be drained outwardly. One implementation provides impervious battens modified to have water-diverting sides, and another provides solid slabs including channels connected by drainage cuts along their length to a surface to be drained.06-17-2010

20080297503System and method for reconstructing a 3D solid model from a 2D line drawing - A system and method for reconstructing a 3D solid model from a 2D axonometric projection (line drawing) are described herein. The system comprises an interactive face identification module for identifying candidate 2D boundary loops for a user to selectively verify as corresponding to valid faces in the 3D solid model. The system further comprises an interactive geometry reconstruction module for reconstructing the 3D solid model from the 2D line drawing and validated boundary loops by iteratively receiving constraints from a user and propagating such constraints to the elements of the model following ranking rules to preserve significant symmetrical characteristics of the 3D solid.12-04-2008

20100187951Low Frequency Acoustic Transducer for a Probe for Non-Destructive Testing - The present invention provides a low frequency acoustic transducer for non-destructive testing of a test structure. The transducer is arranged for conversion between electrical energy and acoustic energy associated with an acoustic wave propagating through a portion of the test structure. The transducer comprises a bending actuator for generating the acoustic wave by generating a vibration from an electrical signal or for generating an electrical signal from a vibration generated by the received acoustic wave. The bending actuator has a vibration surface and a contact area surrounded by a portion of the vibration surface. The transducer further comprises a mode setting member that has a rigid portion which is in direct mechanical contact with the bending actuator at the contact area such that, within the contact area, an amplitude of the vibration is substantially suppressed. The location and shape of the contact area determine a bending mode associated with a resonance frequency of the bending actuator.07-29-2010

20120073573APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING HUMIDIFIED GASES - An apparatus for delivering humidified gases has a connection manifold adapted to connect with inlet and outlet ports of a slide on water chamber in a single slide on motion. Connection of the gases inlet and gases outlet ports as well as any additional electrical and/or pneumatic connections are all made in the same slide on motion. The water chamber may include inwardly extending elongate extension tubes with one of the extension tubes having an air bleed aperture to aid filling of the chamber.03-29-2012

20100065051INTEGRATED HUMIDIFIER CHAMBER AND LID - A blower unit for use as part of an integrated blower/humidification system is described. The blower unit has an outer casing, which encloses and forms part of the blower unit, the casing including an air inlet vent. The blower unit further includes a humidifier compartment for receiving a humidifier unit with a separate gases inlet and outlet, the compartment having a heater base for heating the contents of the humidifier unit. The compartment also has a blower inlet port which aligns with the humidifier unit inlet in use, the blower providing a gases path through the casing between the inlet vent and the inlet port. The blower unit also includes a fan for providing a pressurised gases stream along the gases path, and a power supply unit for powering the fan. The gases path is routed over the power supply unit in order to provide a cooling air flow.03-18-2010
