Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120104052Vessel closure-sealable pouring spout assembly - A closure assembly for a bottle, such as a milk bottle, having a sealable pouring spout is comprised of a lower portion for attachment to the bottle and an upper portion that is rotatably fixed to the lower portion. The upper portion comprises a spout and a spout closure assembly mounted on a pivot hinge and comprising a closing member having one end for sealing the spout and an opposite end for finger pressure. A detent device operates in a working relationship with the closing member so the size of the opening can be controlled.05-03-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110253024ANCHOR AND METHODS - An anchor comprising a container having: a size of at least 3 m×3 m×3 m; a plurality of chambers; at least one valve in each chamber to selectively allow and prevent fluid communication between each chamber and a surrounding environment. Exemplary embodiments also include pressure release valves provided the chambers. The pressure release valves are adapted to allow transfer of fluid between the chamber and the environment when the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the chamber exceeds a predetermined level such as 0.5 bar or 1 bar; typically to allow fluid release from the chamber when the pressure inside the chamber exceeds the pressure outside the chamber by a predetermined level. A method of deploying and manufacturing are also disclosed.10-20-2011

20110253498VARIABLE GEAR RATIO MAGNETIC GEARBOX - A magnetic gear arrangement is provided comprising a first gear member for generating a first magnetic field and a second gear member for generating a second magnetic field. A coupling element is disposed between the first and second gear members and provides arrangements of interpoles which couple the first and second magnetic fields. The coupling element comprises a plurality of magnetisable lamellae, each interpole in an arrangement of interpoles being formed from a group of neighbouring lamellae. Selected lamellae are deactivatable to provide boundaries between adjacent interpoles. This allows different numbers and arrangements of interpoles to be formed, so as to provide different gear ratios between the first and second gear members.10-20-2011
