Abstract: A vent comprises a vent body (1) having at least one air flow channel through the body between a front face and a rear face (2) of the body. At least one float controlled flap valve (13) is pivotably mounted with the body, the or each valve having a first, normal position in which air is permitted to flow through an air flow channel and a second position in which the valve pivots in the presence of water to seal the air flow channel.

Abstract: A hinge assembly for a flood gate comprises support means (1) provided with a first projecting portion (5); a hinge housing (9) having a base plate (11) formed with an aperture (13) for receiving the first projecting portion (5) of the support means (1), with a second projecting portion (21), and with a third projecting portion (15) provided with an aperture (13) receiving a hinge pin. Adjusting means (27, 28) acts between the first and second projecting portions (5,21) and threadingly engages with one thereof. The adjusting means (27,28), the support means (1), and the hinge housing (9) are configured such that rotation of the adjusting means (27,28) in one direction causes movement of the hinge housing (9) relative to the support means (1) in a first direction and such that rotation of the adjusting means (27,28) in the other direction causes movement of the hinge housing (9) relative to the support means (1) in a second direction opposite to the first axial direction.

Abstract: A vent comprises a vent body (1) having at least one air flow channel through the body between a front face and a rear face (2) of the body. At least one float controlled flap valve (13) is pivotably mounted within the body, the or each valve having a first, normal position in which air is permitted to flow through an air flow channel and a second position in which the valve pivots in the presence of water to seal the air flow channel.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a backup nonvolatile memory (NVM), a random access memory (RAM), and a controller. The RAM includes a plurality of partitions, each partition having a different corresponding backup frequency. The controller is configured to back up the contents of each partition of the RAM to the backup NVM in accordance with the corresponding backup frequency.

Abstract: A self-activating flood barrier includes a chamber (1) having first and second side walls (3, 5), a dam member (9) adapted to self-deploy in the event of a flood to inhibit the passage of water to a region to be protected, and a low-friction device (77, 79) positioned between the dam member and at least one of the first and second side walls of the chamber when the dam member is deployed. The low-friction device prevents jamming between the dam member and the at least one side wall.

Abstract: A gully arrangement comprises a housing (1) having an inlet (17) at an upper end thereof, a reservoir (3) in a lower region thereof, and a conduit system (5, 7) forming a trap at a side of the housing. A valve (19) is provided in an upper region of the housing and adapted to close the inlet in the event liquid in the housing rises substantially to the level of the valve. The conduit system comprises an upper conduit (5) communicating with the housing at a level below the inlet, the upper conduit being closed at the housing by a removable stopper (20), and a lower conduit (7) exiting the housing at a lower level than the upper conduit and extending in an upwardly inclined direction to communicate with the upper conduit.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a system can be configured to communicate to and from a media device. The media device can include a first controller. The system can include: (a) a software module configured to run on the first controller; (b) a physical device module configured to run on the first controller; (c) a virtual host module configured to run on the first controller; and (e) a docking station having: (1) a second controller; (2) an electrical connector configured to couple to the media device; (3) a physical host module configured to run on the second controller; (4) a virtual device module configured to run on the second controller; and (5) one or more accessory devices configured to communicate with the media device using the virtual device module. In some examples, the physical host module and the physical device module are configured to establish a physical communications pipe between the media device and the docking station.
