James Flint, Coventry GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120007744LEAK DETECTOR - A leak detector for detecting and locating leaks in a water supply pipe of plastics, the leak detector comprising a first sensor at a first position arranged to detect a leak signal travelling along a pipe, a second sensor arranged to detect a leak signal travelling along the pipe at a second position spaced from the first position, and a processing device adapted to receive the signals from the first sensor and the second sensor. The processing device may be adapted to determine the velocity of the signals from characteristics of the leak signals. The processing device is adapted to use the velocity and distance between the first sensor and the second sensor to determine the location of a leak. The characteristics may be the relationship between the phase and frequency of the leak signals.01-12-2012

20090266359Patient therapy equipment - Sleep apnoea treatment equipment has a housing containing a blower connected to the housing outlet via a duct. A length of flexible breathing tubing connects the housing outlet with a face mask worn by the patient so that he receives a flow of air at elevated pressure. An acoustic sensor is mounted in the duct close to the blower and supplies an output to a processor. The processor supplies an output to a loudspeaker or other acoustic source mounted downstream of the sensor, between it and the outlet. The processor drives the source to produce anti-noise in anti-phase with the blower-generated noise so as to reduce the noise level outside the equipment.10-29-2009

20080289068Analyte Detection System - A method for the determination of a target analyte in a sample, said method comprising: a) applying a liquid sample suspected of containing said target analyte to a solid support capable of allowing lateral flow of liquid therethrough, which support has diffusibly arranged thereon, (i) either (a) a labelled binding partner for said analyte or (b) a labelled analogue of said analyte, and (ii) a labelled control reagent; b) allowing the sample, labelled binding partner for said analyte or a labelled analogue of said analyte and labelled control reagent to flow through a detection zone on said solid support, wherein in the case of (i) (a) above, a predetermined amount of an analogue of the target analyte is immobilised, or, in the case of (i) (b) above a predetermined amount of a binding partner for said analyte or, labelled analogue is immobilised; c) allowing the sample, labelled binding partner for said analyte or a labelled analogue of said analyte and labelled control reagent to flow through a control zone which is spaced from said detection zone, and in which a binding agent which binds the labelled control reagent is immobilised, said binding agent being present in an amount sufficient to give a similar signal to that which occurs in the detection zone when it is fully occupied by either the labelled binding partner for said analyte or the labelled analogue of said analyte; d) detecting the label density in the detection zone (T), and the label density in the control zone (C) and comparing these densities. The method allows semi-quantitative determination of analytes such as agrochemicals and hormones.11-20-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120012503PROCESS FOR TREATING A HEAVY HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCK AND A PRODUCT OBTAINED THEREFROM - A process for treating a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock is disclosed. The process involves separating the feedstock into a residue component and a light component, the residue component having a lower API gravity than the light component and treating at least a portion of the light component to produce a synthetic transport diluent suitable for combining with at least a portion of the residue component to produce a product which meets applicable criteria for pipeline transport.01-19-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120025917Efficient amplification stage - This is disclosed an amplification stage including a first amplifier stage, a second amplifier stage, and a power supply unit, in which the output of the first stage provides the input to the second stage, and the power supply unit provides a power supply for both amplifier stages, wherein the voltage of the power supply is continuously varied in dependence of the amplitude of the signal being amplified.02-02-2012

Timothy R. Flint, Strathroy CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110211964HYDROFORMED TURBINE BLADE - In at least one implementation, a method of making a turbine blade may include providing a preform having a hollow cross-section, hydroforming the preform to form a turbine blade body comprising a shell that includes a continuous hollow portion along its interior, and providing a mounting portion attached to the body to mount the turbine blade to a hub. In one or more implementations of the method, the mounting portion may be provided during the step of hydroforming the preform and the mounting portion may be formed from the same preform as the turbine blade body.09-01-2011
