Abstract: A container is disclosed for housing a tray or blister pack. The container includes a shell (40) with an internal volume for holding the tray or blister pack, and a cover (10) with a base (11), hinge (13), and lid (12) for enclosing the shell (40).

Abstract: A container includes a base portion (11), a lid portion (12), and a hinge portion (13) connecting the base portion to the lid portion. The lid portion and/or the base portion are movable about the hinge portion between an open configuration and a closed configuration in which the lid portion overlies the base portion substantially in the form of a book. The base portion has a shell (40) attached thereto to form a sheath for receiving one or more articles (20). The sheath has an open end or outlet (44) and allows one or more articles to slide relative thereto in the direction substantially parallel to the base portion between a storage position and one or more dispensing positions.

Abstract: A container comprising a container body (1) including an opening (4), a cap (5) to close the opening (4) and a collar (6), the collar (6) being arranged to fit between the container body (1) and the cap (5) so as to secure the cap (5) to the container body (1), the collar (6) being moveable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration such that circumferential parts (7B) thereof are radially movable between inner and outer positions in the contracted and expanded configurations, the collar (6) and cap (5) being provided with mutually engageable parts (7, 5D, 5E, 5F) permitting rotation of the cap (5) relative to the collar (6), said rotation causing and/or permitting movement of the collar (6) between the contracted and expanded configurations.

Abstract: A clock and data recovery circuit includes a phase detector configured to compare a phase of a data signal to a phase of a sampling clock to provide a phase error signal, a gain stage configured to apply a gain to the phase error signal to provide an amplified phase error signal, and a filter configured to filter the amplified phase error signal to provide a phase correction signal. The circuit includes a gain controller configured to adjust the gain of the gain stage in response to the phase correction signal, and a clock generator configured to provide the sampling clock based on the phase correction signal.

Abstract: A beverage container (1) comprises a container body (3) including an opening and a cap (5) to close the opening, the cap (5) or the container body (3) including one or more bayonet threads (57), and the container body (3) or the cap (5) respectively including one or more protrusions (19) arranged to engage with a respective bayonet thread (57) to secure the cap (5) to the container body (3). At least one of the bayonet threads (57) includes one or more stop members arranged to retain the, or each, protrusion (19) substantially fully engaged with the bayonet thread (57) such that the opening is substantially fully closed by the cap (5), until a releasing torque sufficient to overcome the retention is applied to the container.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a base portion (2) and at least two arms (1) resiliently cantilevered from the base portion (2), the inner ends of the arms (1) forming a button-like member (4) and each having a projection (4A) for engaging on the outwardly facing surface of a compact disk (10) held on the apparatus. Depression of the button-like member (4) causes the projections (4A) to move towards each other until their engagement on the disk (10) is released. An upstand (6) surrounds the disk (10) and is positioned close thereto so as to restrict movement of the disk (10) within its own plane. The inner ends (4) of the arms (1) may be shaped to reduce the risk of forces applied thereto in the plane of the disk (10) causing the disk (10) to be released. Finger recesses (6A) in the upstand may be formed so as to inhibit access to the edge of a disk (10) whilst held by the apparatus but provide access thereto once the disk (10) has been released. 3-arm release mechanisms are also described.

Abstract: A container for housing a CD or DVD, which has a plastics film about the exterior with a security marking formed or attached to the film.

Abstract: An over container (1) for providing a security housing for a primary container (2), the over container (1) being adapted to receive or contain the primary container (2) and having an EAS tag (7) therein such that, when in a locked configuration, neither the primary container (2) nor the tag (7) can be removed and, when in an unlocked configuration, the over container (1) can be opened to allow the primary container (2) to be removed, the over container (1) being provided with a locking device (3) having first and second arms (3B, 3C) which, in the locked position, hold the over container in a closed configuration and which, in the unlocked position, enable the over container (1) to be opened, the locking device having a retaining arm (5) which, when the locking device (3) is in the locked position, acts to retain the locking device (3) in this position and which is releasable upon application of a predetermined magnetic field from release apparatus.

Abstract: This invention relates to a power tool (1) including an operative element (4) for treating a work piece. The power tool (1) defines an air passageway and includes propelling means (20) operative to induce air to flow through the passageway. The passageway direct the induced air over the power tool's motor (14) to cool the motor (14). The air is exhausted from the tool (1) by exhaust means onto the operative element (4) and a worked face of the work piece. This cools the operative clement (4) which prolongs its working life. Furthermore, the exhausted air facilitates removal of swarf from the worked face.

Abstract: An image capture device is described having a remote photograph mode in which images can be captured without physical contact with the device. The device activated by the user speaking a keyword. The image capturing device is arranged so that after being initialised in the remote capture mode of operation, it enters a standby state for a period of time in which it is unresponsive to utterances and, after a period of time sets itself into a listening state in which it can capture images in response to detecting spoken keywords.
