Patent number: 10863882Abstract: An apparatus for removing moisture as liquid from moisture-laden air in an appliance is provided. The apparatus includes a body that defines a channel extending from a first position to a second position and a serpentine flow path between the first position and the second position that operates to redirect the moisture-laden air to remove the liquid from the moisture-laden air. The body includes an opening at the serpentine flow path that is closed when the apparatus is secured to the wall of the appliance. In operation, the body cooperates with the wall to cause the moisture-laden air entering the channel at the first position through an inlet opening in the wall to pass into the serpentine flow path to remove the liquid from the moisture-laden air before the liquid exits the channel at the second position through an outlet opening in the wall.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Electrolux Home Products, Inc.Inventors: Jerry Lee Olesen, Janusz Sendor, Veronica Hope Davenport, Michael Anthony Phillips, Christopher Shaw Burch

Publication number: 20200156747Abstract: The invention relates to a drive system, and method of forming the same, for a craft in water, said drive system comprising a drive means, one or more shafts which are provided in connection with the drive means via one or more gear assemblies and at least one of said shafts having a free end with location means to allow the same to be located with a propeller of the said craft to impart rotational drive to the propeller. The location means are at least partially located within a port in the body of the propeller and intermediate said location means and the walls of the said port there is provided a substantially non-conductive deformable material sleeve which separates the propeller body from the said shaft and retains the propeller body in drive engagement with the location means.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2017Publication date: May 21, 2020Applicant: Superprop LimitedInventor: Christopher Shaw

Publication number: 20200156748Abstract: The invention to which this application relates is to a propeller of the type, which is typically, although not necessary exclusively, for use in relation to vessels for use in water and, most typically, propellers of a type which can be moved between an in-use position in which the blades of the propeller extend outwardly to provide a propulsion force when rotated and, a storage position in which the desire is to minimise the effect of the blades as the vessel moves through the water and in which the blades are held substantially in line with the body of the propeller. The location means which allow the blades to be connected to the body are located within the body and thereby minimise the risk of corrosion and thereby increase the life of the propeller whilst also providing a secure fitment of the blades to the body and allowing ease of movement of the blades between in-use and storage positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2020Publication date: May 21, 2020Applicant: Superprop LimitedInventor: Christopher Shaw

Patent number: 10569850Abstract: Apparatus suitable for use in positioning ceiling or wall panels in predetermined locations. The apparatus includes one or more channel means shaped to receive at least part of a panel in use, said channel means at least partially defined by one or more substantially planar outer walls and at least one inner wall. At least part of the inner wall depends away from the outer wall thereby forming the opening into said channel means through which the ceiling or wall panel is inserted in use.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: SUPERPROP LIMITEDInventor: Christopher Shaw

Publication number: 20170360700Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to ingredients, formulations, methods of manufacture and use of an oral rehydration solution (“ORS”) in the prevention and treatment of dehydration in humans. More specifically, invention embodiments relate to flavored electrolyte drink mixtures that relieve the dehydrating effects caused by travel, exercise, over-indulgence of toxic substances, and various illnesses in individual subjects. An ORS embodiment of the present invention restores fluid and electrolyte balance in humans as fast and as effectively as IV therapy, and thereby reduces the incidence of dehydration in human populations as well as rehydrating individuals in circumstances where IV therapy is not practical or wanted.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2014Publication date: December 21, 2017Applicant: H2ORS, Inc.Inventors: Candace Fleming, Christopher Shaw

Patent number: 8812896Abstract: Method/system is disclosed for recovering computing capacity and critical applications after a catastrophic failure. The method/system involves distributing the computing capacity over multiple computing clusters, each computing cluster having concurrent access to shared data and software applications of other computing clusters. Sufficient backup computing capacity is reserved on each computing cluster to recover some or all active computing capacity on the other computing clusters. Message traffic throughout the computing clusters is monitored for indications of a catastrophic failure. Upon confirmation of a catastrophic failure at one computing cluster, the workloads of that computing cluster are transferred to the backup computing capacity of the other computing clusters. Software applications that have been designated for recovery are then brought up on the backup computing capacity of the other computing clusters.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: United Services Automobile AssociationInventors: John Christopher Shaw, Patrick Wayne Price

Patent number: 8614187Abstract: Described is an N-terminal hexapeptide fragment of maximakinin, QUB 698.8, which exhibits potent tissue selective actions on smooth muscle. It demonstrates a high degree of selectivity for arterial smooth muscle over small intestinal smooth muscle, causing potent relaxation of arterial smooth muscle, while causing less potent contraction of ileal smooth muscle. It may be used treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system and in promotion of angiogenesis.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: The Queen's University of BelfastInventors: Christopher Shaw, Tianbao Chen, Martin O'Rourke, Brian Walker, David Hirst
