Patent number: 11634875Abstract: A method for repairing/treating a pavement with the use of a rheology modifier is disclosed. The method comprises first applying a layer of a rheology modifier composition comprising a rejuvenating component onto the top surface of the pavement that needs repair, then applying a second layer of a binder onto the rheology modifier layer. The second layer of binder effectively seals the rheology modifier layer with the rejuvenating component for intimate contact with the top pavement surface, thus penetrating the surface layer to extend the life of the pavement surface, arresting the deterioration of visco-elastic properties and restoring some of those properties.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: iEmulsions CorporationInventors: Brian Fennell, Martin Thompson, Christopher Holmes

Publication number: 20230031533Abstract: An enteral feeding apparatus comprises a pod having an expansile pouch which defines a reservoir for enteral fluid and a gas impermeable barrier surrounding the pouch. The pod has an inlet port for delivery of enteral fluid into the pouch and an outlet port having a seal which is pierceable to release enteral fluid from the pouch for delivery to a PEG via a feeding line. The expansile pouch provides the sole force by which enteral fluid is delivered from the pouch through a regulator. The system can accommodate a range of enteral fluids with a wide range of viscosities.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: ROCKFIELD MEDICAL DEVICES LIMITEDInventors: Tomas Martin THOMPSON, Donal MAYNE, Damian KELLY

Patent number: 11150983Abstract: A sensor apparatus includes a sensing means having one or more sensors. A processor unit processes data received from the one or more sensors. The processor unit has a processor, a memory which stores data used by the processor, and a memory controller that receives instructions from the processor and in response writes data output from the processor to the memory or retrieves data from the memory to the processor. The memory controller is configured to read and write data to one or more areas of the memory with ECC protection of the data and arranged to read and write data to one or more areas of the memory without applying any ECC protection. The sensor apparatus may be configured to process data captured from an antenna to identify the position and/or the range of at least one target in the line of sight of the antenna.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: TRW LIMITEDInventor: Martin Thompson

Publication number: 20210228451Abstract: A portable enteral feeding apparatus includes a pouch which defines a reservoir for enteral fluid and having an outlet for delivery of enteral fluid from the pouch. An outlet spout has a pouch spigot connected to the pouch outlet and a connector spigot which is adapted for mounting of a connector shaft, in one case a cross fit shaft of an ENFit connector. A valve is mounted to the spout. The connector spigot has a mounting structure for mounting a connector shaft of a PEG feeding system to the connector spigot only when the connector shaft is extended through the valve. An interlock prevents fixing of a connector shaft to the connector spigot if the connector shaft is not extended through the valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2019Publication date: July 29, 2021Applicant: ROCKFIELD MEDICAL DEVICES LIMITEDInventors: Donal MAYNE, Tomas Martin THOMPSON, Damian KELLY
