Abstract: A device includes a delay element that can produce from the demodulated output of a radio receiver, a delayed signal that is delayed by an adjustable amount. A processor is coupled to the delay element and to a correlation element. The correlation element can correlate an acoustic signal from a transducer with information from the delayed signal from the delay element. The processor can adjust the delay and detect from the correlation element one or more peak correlations. The delays dictated by the processor, that produce one or more peak correlations, are used to deduce a use of a portable electronic device proximal to an operator's station, and to operate a switching element for altering services at the portable electronic device.

Abstract: This accessory is apparatus capable of implementing a method that can affect one or more features of a portable electronic device when brought into a vehicle having a radio with a right and left speaker. The accessory has a sender for initiating transmission of an RF test signal at the portable electronic device. The RF test signal is arranged to cause the radio to produce a distinct pair of audio responses from the right and left speaker. The accessory has a discriminator for determining for the right and left speaker the corresponding return delay between transmission of the RF test signal and arrival of the distinct pair of audio responses at the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A re-conformable material removal system comprises a head or receiver portion having an inner chamber with a plurality of material removal members arranged in side-by-side relationship to one another. First, actuator ends are disposed in the inner chamber of the head or receiver portion and second, surface contact ends project outwardly to define a contact edge. A biasing member is disposed within the inner chamber of the head or receiver portion, between the material removal members and the top, to yieldably bias the material removal members in an extended position wherein placement of the re-conformable material removal system against a surface results in yielding of the biasing member and movement of the material removal members into the inner chamber when the surface is uneven thereby resulting a conformed contact edge that is continuously adjustable and conformable to the contour of the surface.

Abstract: Disclosed is a meter assembly including a first housing; a second housing; and a retaining fastener connecting the second housing to the first housing, the second housing adapted to rotate relative to the first housing. Also disclosed is a meter assembly including a housing; a linkage arm; and a retaining fastener, the retaining fastener connecting the linkage arm to the housing, the linkage arm adapted to rotate relative to the housing.

Abstract: A re-conformable material removal system comprises a head comprising an axial slot extending from an inner chamber to the exterior thereof. A plurality of material removal blades are arranged in side-by-side relationship and have first, proximal ends disposed in the inner chamber, axially extending blade shafts extending through the axial slot and second, distal ends projecting outwardly from the housing to define a removal edge. A biasing member is disposed within the inner chamber to yieldably bias the blades to a fully extended position through the axial slot; wherein placement of the re-conformable material removal system against a surface results in yielding of the biasing member and movement of the blades into the housing when the surface is uneven, resulting in a conformed edge that is continuously adjustable and conformable to the contour of the surface.

Abstract: A portable water feeder for collecting rain water for bees, butterflies and many other uses has a vessel in which rain water is collected. A filter removes impurities from the rain water and a wind-powered agitator maintains the water in motion to minimize the build-up of algae. A valve controls the quantity of water which flows from the vessel to a watering station where the water is available for use.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for surveying the downhole environment in a steam stimulated well such as a Steam Assisted Gravity Draining well are described. One method comprises interrogating an optic fibre (104) arranged along the path of a well shaft (202, 204) within a steam stimulated well with optical radiation. At least one downhole steam pulse is generated and data gathered from the fibre (104) in response to the steam pulse is gathered and processed to provide an indication of the acoustic signals detected by at least one longitudinal sensing portion of the fibre (104). In some examples, the processed data can be used to determine at least one characteristic of the steam chamber (210).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for surveillance of a downhole environment: the response of least one optical fibre to an acoustic impulse is sampled and processed to provide an indication of the acoustic signals detected by at least one longitudinal sensing portion of the fibre(s). The data comprises data indicative of at least one characteristic of the acoustic impulse and data indicative of the downhole environment. The data indicative of at least one characteristic of the acoustic impulse is used to interpret the data indicative of the downhole environment to provide an indication of at least one characteristic of the downhole environment. For example, the data indicative of at least one characteristic of the acoustic impulse may provide a ‘signature’ of the impulse, which may be used to deconvolve the data indicative of the downhole environment to provide an indication of at least one characteristic of the downhole environment.
