Patent number: 7902262Abstract: The present invention relates to the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Preferably, the present invention relates to the substantial recycling of all material forming the WEEE, thus providing substantially zero landfill. In yet another form, the invention relates to an additive and/or method of providing an additive. In still another form, the invention relates to recycling ink, toner, and/or PU foam from imaging consumables, forming part of the WEEE. In another form, the invention relates to the recycling of plastic materials containing flame retardants, including the recycling of plastics materials, such as plastics materials containing brominated flame retardants generally based on styrenics (e.g. PS, HIPS, ABS, PPO/PS, PPE/PS, ABS/PC) and polyamides (Nylon 6, nylon 6,6, nylon 12) and other engineering plastics such as polyacetal, polycarbonate, PET, PBT, liquid crystal polymers.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2005Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Close the Loop Technologies Pty Ltd.Inventors: William Terence Armstrong, Stephen Michael Morriss, Glen Wilkie, John Scheirs

Publication number: 20070271859Abstract: A low-harm spiked barrier for a structure such as a fence is disclosed which has a base having spikes. The spikes are spaced apart by a distance less than that required to obtain a finger grip or a foothold on the base between the spikes. The spikes are slightly rounded so the spikes will not likely cause permanent injury and the spikes also provide a psychological deterrent if someone attempting to scale the structure on which the spiked barrier is mounted.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2007Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventor: John Scheirs
