Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090262154Printer Control Circuitry For Reading Ink Information From A Refill Unit - A refill unit for refilling an ink cartridge that forms part of an inkjet printer. The printer also having a printhead, control circuitry and an interface for releasably engaging the refill unit. The refill unit has a body containing a quantity of ink, an ink outlet, and a memory circuit for storing information relating to at least one characteristic of the ink. During use the memory circuit allows to the control circuit to interrogate it to verify that the ink in the refill unit is suitable for the printer.10-22-2009

20100000471Retrieval device for creatures - A retrieval device for retrieving creatures comprises an elongate member having first and second ends in fluid communication via a conduit defined through the elongate member and a capturing element at the first end of the elongate member. The capturing element defines an interior volume, and has an entrance aperture opening into the interior volume and an exit aperture by which the interior volume is in fluid communication with the first end of the elongate member. The capturing element is configured so that when a suitably sized creature is within the interior volume and the retrieval device is oriented with the first end of the elongate member above the second end with the entrance aperture facing generally upward, the capturing element guides the creature under gravity from the interior volume through the exit aperture into the first end of the elongate member and along the conduit to the second end.01-07-2010

20090159451Variable property electrodepositing of metallic structures - Variable property deposit, at least partially of fine-grained metallic material, optionally containing solid particulates dispersed therein, is disclosed. The electrodeposition conditions in a single plating cell are suitably adjusted to once or repeatedly vary at least one property in the deposit direction. In one embodiment denoted multidimension grading, property variation along the length and/or width of the deposit is also provided. Variable property metallic material deposits containing at least in part a fine-grained microstructure and variable property in the deposit direction and optionally multidimensionally, provide superior overall mechanical properties compared to monolithic fine-grained (average grain size: 2 nm-5 micron), entirely coarse-grained (average grain size: >20 micron) or entirely amorphous metallic material deposits.06-25-2009
20110256356Metallic Structures with Variable Properties - Variable property deposit, at least partially of fine-grained metallic material, optionally containing solid particulates dispersed therein, is disclosed. The electrodeposition conditions in a single plating cell are suitably adjusted to once or repeatedly vary at least one property in the deposit direction. In one embodiment denoted multidimension grading, property variation along the length and/or width of the deposit is also provided. Variable property metallic material deposits containing at least in part a fine-grained microstructure and variable property in the deposit direction and optionally multidimensionally, provide superior overall mechanical properties compared to monolithic fine-grained (average grain size: >20 micron) or entirely amorphous metallic material deposits.10-20-2011

20110286012LABEL PRINTER - A label printer, comprising: input means operable by a user; display means; and control means connected to the input means and the display means. The control means are configured to control the display means to first display a header and a first image representative of a label; and, in response to receiving at the control means a signal indicative of an operation of the input means by a user to select the header, to control the display to then display a second image representative of the label and a graphical control panel associated with said header. The second image representative of the label is of a size smaller than the first image representative of the label. The display means may comprise a touchscreen.11-24-2011

20100135819Method of Manufacturing a Wind Turbine Rotor Blade - A method of manufacturing a wind turbine rotor blade is provided. Anticipated primary load paths within the rotor blade are predicted. Fibres of reinforcing material are dispensed onto a mould, having an orientation pattern of the fibres which is selected in dependence on the predicting step. Resin is also dispensed into the mould.06-03-2010
20100329865LIGHTNING PROTECTION MESH - A lightning protection mesh for a blade of a wind turbine comprising a first set of wires running in a first direction, and a second set of wires running in a second, different direction. The mesh has at least one tapered end at which wires from at least one of the first and second set of wires run together. The total conducting cross-sectional area formed by the wires in the tapered end is maintained within the tapered end, and the wires are bundled at the tapered end to provide an electrical connection to the mesh.12-30-2010

20110081247Wind Turbine Blade - A sectional blade for a wind turbine comprising a first and a second blade section extending in opposite directions from a blade joint, and each blade section comprising a spar section forming a structural member of the blade. The blade sections are structurally connected by a spar bridge over a spar joint, which comprises a center beam of two extending beam caps joined by one or more extending beam webs. The spar joint further comprises at least two extending spar caps and one or more extending spar webs connecting the spar caps to opposite sides of the center beam. A method of manufacturing such a sectional blade is also disclosed.04-07-2011
20110081248Wind Turbine Blade - A sectional blade for a wind turbine comprising a first and a second blade section extending in opposite directions from a blade joint, and each blade section comprising a spar section forming a structural member of the blade. The blade sections are structurally connected by a spar bridge extending into the first and second blade sections to facilitate joining of the blade sections. The spar bridge comprises a stiffening member protruding from the spar bridge in a chord wise direction of the blade for increasing the edgewise stiffness of the blade, and wherein a part of the surface of the stiffening member is shaped to follow an inner surface contour of the blade. A method of manufacturing such a sectional blade is also disclosed.04-07-2011
20110158788A SECTIONAL BLADE - The invention provides a sectional blade for a wind turbine. The blade comprises at least a first blade portion and a second blade portion extending in opposite directions from a joint. The first blade portion and the second blade portion are structurally connected by at least one spar bridge extending into both blade portions to facilitate joining of said blade portions.06-30-2011

20110228763METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING SERVICES OF A DEVICE - A telephony device is provided including a display, a processor, and a network interface for communicating via a communications network. The telephony device runs a browser application, a server application, and a service application including services using the processor. The processor controls the server application to recognize a first command request that is provided to the server application using a first transfer protocol via the communications network, and provides instructions to the service application in response to the first command request. The processor controls the service application to control a function of the telephony device by executing a first set of commands, generate a first content, and provide the first content to the server application. The processor controls the server application to generate a first response to the first command request, the first response including the first content.09-22-2011
