Publication number: 20090271718Abstract: A method of specifying a boundary for an area is provided, which includes receiving a first input from a first user regarding a first configuration of a boundary of an area. The first input may serve to establish an area of arbitrary and possibly irregular configuration, such as an area that is apolitical or otherwise legally undetermined. A second input may be received from a second user regarding a second boundary configuration. The second input may serve to modify the boundary of an area established by the first input. A particular configuration of the boundary based at least partially on the first and second inputs can then be determined. For example, the particular configuration of the boundary may be determined, in part, by spatially averaging the first and second configurations. In some embodiments, demographic data for an area defined by the particular configuration of the boundary may be compiled.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2009Publication date: October 29, 2009Inventors: David M.

Publication number: 20060264278Abstract: The present invention provides a valve (10) comprising a mounting member (12) for mounting of the valve. The valve includes a collapsible aperture (20) which in an open condition allows for flow of a fluid in a forward direction through the valve whilst in a closed condition prevents flow of fluid in a reverse direction. In one form of the valve, the valve element is connected to the mounting member (12) via an isolation zone (22) that reduces likelihood of the collapsible aperture moving to an open condition under impact. In another form of the valve, the valve element is configured to provide opening of the collapsible aperture on application of a predetermined force to the mounting member. In a final form of the valve, the valve comprises a sports ball valve having a collapsible aperture which is opened by fluid pressure alone.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2004Publication date: November 23, 2006Inventors: David Horton, Allan Meyer

Publication number: 20060169284Abstract: A hyperbaric capsule (10) has a base (12) forming a seat (14) that can be enclosed by an elongate oval canopy (16) having a large transparent window (18) formed therein. The bottom of the front of the canopy (16) is pivotally attached to the front of the base (12) by a hinge assembly (22) and can be locked in the closed position on the base by a plurality of latches (50a-50d) that are conjointly operated by an external lever (54) and an internal lever (56, not shown in FIG. 1). The weight of the canopy upon opening is borne by a pair of side gas or spring struts (24).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2003Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Allan Meyer, Norman Berry, Martin Davidson

Publication number: 20060104720Abstract: A water skimmer vessel has two hulls (12, 14) between which a debris collection net or basket-like catcher (22) is arranged. Hinged flaps (68) are provided at each end of the catcher and operate to allow inflow but block outflow of debris from the catcher. Each hull of the vessel is equiped with amoter covered by a guard (28). The vessel may move in either direction and is equipped with sensors (30) on each hulll for effecting the turning and reversing of the vessel upon contact with pool skimmer box inlet (206) and the vessel can be controlled to enter the dock and permit the contents of the catcher to be discharged into the current of pool water flowing into the skimmer box.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2003Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Robert Haski, Allan Meyer, Norman Berry

Patent number: 7043859Abstract: A display sign has cards that fold on a hinge to display different numerals. An upper latch retains cards in an upper position overlying an upper edge of the cards. The latch has a retaining member that rotates between an open position and a locked position. A lock assembly for the retaining member has a threaded member that is rotatable between a locked position, which prevents movement of the retaining member, to an unlocked position, which allows the retaining member to rotate.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2004Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: May Advertising International, Ltd.Inventor: P.

Patent number: 6805259Abstract: A medication tablet dispenser has an upright casing providing a tower which is subdivided by horizontal partitions into eight compartments which individually contain removable holders each containing a charge of tablets to be dispensed. The holders have framing portions which together provide a funnel opening downwardly into a cavity of a blister sheet. The casing is vibrated back and forth about its vertical axis through a small angle to cause tablets in the holders to progress towards an outlet leading into the funnel and having an associated ejector which discharges selected tablets into the funnel when required by a computer program. Conical vibration of the casing is prevented by a connection located on its vertical axis and held stationary by a fixed arm. The ejectors operate in response to slide-rods individually reciprocated by associated solenoids controlled by the computer program.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2002Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignee: Manrex Pty LTDInventors: Gerard Thomas Stevens, Jonathan Anthony Salton, Dolph Allan Meyer, Martin James Davidson
