Abstract:
A drainage device (102) comprising an inlet (104) having at least three substantially straight sides (110) with rounded corners (112) linking said at least three substantially straight sides (110), wherein the sides (110) and corners (112) taper to form a circular outlet (108).
Abstract:
There is provided a security device configured to restrict fitting of a wheel to a wheel hub assembly (108) comprising a cover (101), the cover (101) comprising at least one orifice (103), said orifice configured to receive fixing means (113), said fixing means (113) being configured to affix the cover (101) to the wheel hub assembly (108) thereby restricting fitting of a wheel.
Abstract:
A fixing cover (10) is hexagonal in shape so as to cover a bolt head or nut (as shown schematically in Figure 4). The cover (10) has a body which can be made of metal, which would normally be steel or spring steel. In the three spaced side walls (12a, b, c) there are inwardly projecting indentations (14a, 14b, 14c).
Abstract:
The current measurement apparatus comprises a Rogowski coil (20) comprising a wire or conductor which forms a coil (22) and returns through the coil (22) as a central conductor. The coil (22) and the central conductor are formed from a single conductor or wire and, therefore, no electrical join (for example, a solder join or crimp) is required at the end of the Rogowski coil. The wire (28) used to form the coil (22) anal the central conductor (24) is insulated prior to forming the Rogowski coil. The insulated coating (30) provides better insulation between individual coils and also helps to provide a more even spacing between the coils.
Abstract:
A foam pad (12) is placed over a cannula (30) with straps (14) and (16) attached to the pad being wound around the palm and wrist of a user to hold the pad in position. The cannula can be attached to the pad by the use of a strap (34).
Abstract:
An undergarment (40) includes a pocket (41) into which a urine collection bag may be placed.. The pocket (41) includes a plurality of openings (42) any of which can be selected by a user in order to discharge urine through that opening from the collection bag. The collection bag conforms to the shape of a users body. The collection bag has walls that prevent urine in the bag from slopping around and that prevent the bag from expanding too much in one particular area.
Abstract:
A fluid monitoring apparatus for monitoring a fluid in a fluid mains supply, the apparatus comprising means for connecting the apparatus to the mains supply, a testing chamber, a fluid tester, testing a variable of a fluid in the testing chamber and a purger for purging a volume of fluid from the testing chamber which volume of fluid is substantially larger than the volume of the testing chamber, thereby replacing the fluid in the testing chamber with a new fluid volume.
Abstract:
Oil contaminated drill cuttings are contacted with an oil soluble surfactant with agitation which causes the hydrophobic moiety of the surfactant to interact with the oil. Next, an aqueous polymer formulation comprising a polymer having polar and/or ionic functionality is added and mixed. Then, an excess volume of water is added with gentle agitation and the mixture is allowed to settle, whereupon the cuttings sediment to the bottom of the receptacle in which the process is undertaken and the supernatant contains a colloidal suspension of particles which comprise oil, surfactant and polymer. The drill cuttings may then be separated from the supernatant by filtration. The supernatant may be treated with a flocculating agent to cause the colloidal particles to sediment. They too may then be separated.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for the hydroformylation of ethylenically unsaturated compounds, which process comprises reacting said ethylenically unsaturated compound with carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in the presence of a catalyst system and a solvent, the catalyst system obtainable by combining: a) a metal of Group VIII or a compound thereof; and b) a bidentate phosphine, the process characterised in that a chlorine moiety is present in at least one of the said Group VIII metal compound or said solvent.
Abstract:
A laminated single faced flute comprises a fluted layer (12) and aprinted facing sheet (14). The fluted layer (12) comprises an embossed layer. The laminated single faced flute only comprises a single embossed layer and a single facing sheet. Accordingly, a high resolution print is not simply provided as a separate layer and adhered to the facing sheet which would thereby results in the three layers. The laminated single faced flute (10) may be used in packaging t prevent damaged products contained therein. In addition, the laminated single faced flute may be used as a holder (20) to hold and retain warm or hot products therein, cups or hot drinks or soup etc. The image is printed on the facing sheet (14) prior to adhering the facing sheet (14) to the embossed web (12). This thereby retains the characteristic of the flute.
