  • Publication number: 20210224230
    Abstract: A file server and a method of operating a file server where version identifiers for documents on the server are maintained as a branched tree. When a client computer attempts to sync up a new version of a file, it must upload the version identifier that it received when it synced down the file. The file server compares this version identifier to the numbers in its version tree for the file and may place the document in the correct place in the tree structure, which may not be as the “latest version” of the document. If the client is using an outdated version of the document, the server may also sync down the latest version of the file. The user may view the changes to the version tree and reconcile different versions to create an authoritative version, and this review and reconciliation may occur at any time, instead of being performed at the moment that the file is saved or forking the file into a new filename.

  • Patent number: 11065798
    Abstract: Injection apparatus for injecting a liquid formulation into a molten polymer at high pressure includes a reservoir containing liquid formulation at ambient temperature and pressure which is arrange to flood-feed pump body 26 of a first progressing cavity pump (pcp) (4). The first pcp (4) is driven by motor (6) and is arranged to accurately meter the liquid formulation into a second pcp (8) which is downstream of the first pcp and is arranged to increase the pressure of the liquid formulation by 200 bar or more. Downstream of pump (8) is a delivery valve (14) arranged to control passage of liquid formulation, via outlet (17), into pressurised molten polymer stream (75) which is present in an extruder (77).

  • Patent number: 10947969
    Abstract: High pressure injection apparatus (2) for addition of a liquid formulation into a melt stream comprises a first pump which is arranged to accurately meter the liquid formulation (including highly loaded formulations comprising solids comprising particles of relatively large size) and a second pump which boosts the pressure of the formulation to that of the melt stream into which it is to be injected. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a tank (4) for initially receiving liquid formulation. The tank is subjected to ambient temperature and pressure and need not be stirred or otherwise agitated. The tank is arranged to deliver the formulation via pipe (6) into a first pump (8) (which may be a diaphragm pump or a progressing cavity pump). The pump is arranged to work at a pressure up to 120 bar to boost pressure. Downstream of pump (8), a pipe (10) is arranged to deliver formulation from the pump (8) to a gear pump (12), driven by a motor (13). The gear pump acts to meter the liquid formulation.
