Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090061012Shark Repelling Method and Repellent Incorporating Wax - A method of repelling sharks for limiting their attacking a surfboard user comprises applying a conventional surfboard traction improving solid wax that also incorporates a shark repellent such as a surfactant, a capsaicinoid or a semiochemical in a concentration based on the “Johnson & Baldridge Test”. The extent of application is consequently sufficient to render the coated surfboard foul tasting when bitten by a shark but insufficient to reliably repel a shark in response to the dispersion in the water of the repellent. The invention extends to a shark repellent incorporating surfboard coating wax.03-05-2009

20080272026Electrostatically Dissipative Packages and Articles - An electrostatically dissipative package for containing an article sensitive to static electricity, the package substantially comprising a non-expanded polymeric material which has electrostatic dissipative properties, wherein said polymeric material comprises a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and thermoplastically processable starch.11-06-2008
20080277303Cushion Packs - A cushion pack including a corrugated fibreboard lattice within a flexible polymeric envelope which is vented to allow the air contained within the envelope to escape when the cushion pack is subjected to compression.11-13-2008
20090072015Blanks for Containers - A blank from which may be erected a protective enclosed tamper evident container for the packaging of articles during transportation and storage has five aligned panels that form opposed roof and floor walls having a dome shape connected at opposite ends of the container by side walls having a concave shape. The centre panel forming the floor wall has opposed closure panels that fold over the roof wall to close the open sides of the container and are provided with locking tongues that engage slots in the roof wall to secure the container. The tongues and slots provide a tamper evident mechanism for securing the container such that no adhesive is required during the erection process in order to hold the container in its closed position.03-19-2009
20120061014Self-Adhesive Material With A Water Soluble Protective Layer - A face material is coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive which is in turn coated with a water soluble protective layer. The opposite printed side of the face material may be coated with hydrophobic lacquer. The adhesive is dried or cooled before the protective coating is applied. The protective layer is applied by extrusion or solution casting. Alternatively a reusable liner can be coated with the protective material and adhesive before the protected adhesive is transferred onto a face material. labels made from the material can be applied by passing them through water and guide rolls, and then between punching die and two way moving vacuum cylinder, and squeeze rolls03-15-2012

20100287396DATA PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE PREDICTION - A method of processing data using a data processor having an operating system for performing tasks of an application programme, and a power and performance controller controlling parameters and modes of execution of the tasks by the data processor. The power and performance controller includes a performance predictor producing an estimation of required performance of the data processor for the tasks taking account of inactive periods of the tasks and adjusting the performance and power consumption of the data processor in response to the estimation. The performance predictor distinguishes for each of the tasks between: —available inactive periods of the task during which the operating system is available to continue to process the same task, and —unavailable inactive periods of the task during which the operating system is not available to continue to process the same task. A substantial improvement is obtained in quality of service, with fewer missed deadlines in performance of the tasks.11-11-2010
