Patent number: 10390588Abstract: A quick tightening system for a shoe comprises at least two shoelace segments, a pull-tab having a first side of a hook-and-loop fastener on a bottom surface of the pull-tab, and a second side of the hook-and-loop fastener. The at least two shoelace segments each includes an aglet at a distal end of the shoelace segment, each of the at least two shoelace segments coupled to the first side of the shoe at a proximal end of the shoelace segment and extending through the eyelets on the first side of the shoe.

Patent number: 7182250Abstract: A computing device with an embedded microprocessor or micro-controller, including a software stack which comprises a content manager, and a runtime environment positioned in the stack above or together with a hardware abstraction layer. The content manager is not specific to any one design of runtime environment or hardware abstraction layer, so that several different designs of runtime environment and/or hardware abstraction layer can each operate with the same content manager. This de-couples the content manager from the runtime environment and/or hardware abstraction layer (e.g. a Java Virtual machine; elements of the operating system). The core advantage is that a single content manager can be used across multiple runtime environments and/or hardware abstraction layers; runtime environments and OSs can therefore be swapped without needing to re-write the content manager.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Smart Card Solutions LimitedInventors: Martin Sean Kelly, Simon Fisher, Martin Strauch, Steven James Wenham

Publication number: 20050252727Abstract: A brake assembly includes a caliper, a brake pad, an actuator to force the brake pad into engagement with a rotor and an adjuster mechanism to compensate for wear of the brake pad. The adjuster mechanism includes a rotating component that rotates substantially in proportion to wear of the brake pad and is manually operable to deadjust the adjuster mechanism when replacement of the brake pad is required. The rotating component is operably coupled to a pad wear indicator mounted on the caliper which visually indicates an amount of brake pad wear.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2005Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Tom England, Paul Thomas, Paul Roberts, Simon Fisher

Publication number: 20050198798Abstract: A method and system of installing a cable into a duct, comprising increasing the cross-sectional areas of subducting provided in the duct, so as to allow the cable to be received into the subducting, and then decreasing the cross-sectional area of the subducting containing the cable so as to reduce the volume occupied by the subducting in the duct. Cables may be inserted into the subducting, for example, by forcing compressed gas through the subducting, which simultaneously inflates the subducting.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2003Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Philip Barker, Christopher Fisk, Andrew Mayhew, Simon Fisher

Patent number: 6900414Abstract: A static deck oven has a flat conducting element (17) located between a cooking shelf (13) and lower heaters (15) The conducting element is connected to and in heat transfer relationship with a water-containing trough (18) inside the oven space Heat passes through the element to the trough and converts the water into steam, which provides a beneficial surface effect to the products being cooked. A computerised controller (22) determines extra energy required to convert a particular dose of water into steam, and controls the energy input to the heaters accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2001Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: Aga Foodservice Equipment LimitedInventor: David Simon Fisher
