Publication number: 20230417655Abstract: A flow cell for a colour measurement system is described that includes a body with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet linked by a fluid pathway. An entrance window for allowing light transmission into the flow cell is provided, along with a coupler configured to couple a light source to the flow cell. The entrance window is fixedly coupled to the body of the flow cell, and the coupler is carried by a coupler mount that attaches to the body of the flow cell independently of the entrance window.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Peter CLARKE, Amy PENN, Nicholas BARNES, Thomas GARWOOD

Publication number: 20160272384Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure include a lid for covering a vessel, having a cover portion and a base portion, and methods of operating such a lid. The cover portion and the base portion may be separate individual pieces. In some implementations, the cover portion is adapted to slide along the base portion between an open position and a closed position. In some instances, the cover portion slides along an arcuate path. In some implementations, when the cover portion is in a cover-removal position, it can be separated from the base portion without separating the base portion from the vessel. In such implementations, when the cover portion is in a lid-removal position, the cover portion and the base portion can be separated from the vessel while remaining attached to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2015Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: Justin Lee, Nicholas Barnes, Jason Mayden, Victor Dragotti, Darius Yu, Greg Caneer, Yves Behar, Noah Murphy-Reinhertz, Erik Kreider, Mirko Ihrig

Patent number: 8690974Abstract: A pyrolytic hydrogen generator comprising a pressure vessel containing a plurality of cardboard receptacles for the thermally decomposable hydrogen generating material and an associated ignition system. Also, a modular pellet tray assembly for use in the generator comprises a plurality of trays having pellet holders and associated igniters and held in a stack by support rods that also provide electrical connectivity to the trays. Also, a pellet tray assembly comprises a plurality of pellet holders, wherein some of more outwardly disposed pellet holders contain only outwardly facing vents and are fired first. Also, the generator has an array of hydrogen generating elements arranged side by side and separated from one another into cells by partitioning provided with directional venting that only permits laterally exiting gases to vent outwardly. Alternatively, the elements can be separated into cells by a baffle system comprising gas confining and gas venting elements, which may be heat conductive.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Qinetiq LimitedInventors: Darren Paul Scattergood, Graham Manton, Gareth Thomas Flegg, Robert John Vere Churton, Philip Nicholas Barnes, William Ranulf Slee

Publication number: 20080034596Abstract: A portable cutting-guidance apparatus is used with a portable, hand-holdable power saw (20) to make an angle-cut in an object at a variably selected angle. A positioning device (300) is positioned motionless against the object being cut. The saw (20) travels on and along a cutting-guide (100) in a straight line. The linear cutting-guide (100) is pivotally connected to the positioning device (300) about a pivot point (400). The linear cutting guide (100) can be adjustably fastened to the positioning means (300) at a variably selected angle. The positioning device (300) can be positioned and held against the object purely by the manual force of the user, which includes force with which the user pushes the power saw forwards along the cutting-guide to cut the object. The pivot point (400) is located a distance (y) away from the leading edge of the linear cutting-guide (100) to provide improved performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2005Publication date: February 14, 2008Inventor: Nicholas Barnes

Patent number: 7052799Abstract: A wearable, mobile and/or portable terminal for use in an inventory management system. The terminal includes a terminal housing, a battery pack removably receivable within an external battery-receiving cavity of the terminal housing, and a battery latching mechanism that secures the battery pack in the battery-receiving cavity in a latched condition. The battery pack has an unlatched condition in which the battery latch mechanism is disengaged from the battery pack. A camming surface of the battery latching mechanism lifts the unlatched battery pack from the battery-receiving cavity to promote its removal from the terminal housing. The terminal housing is sealed relative to the environment surrounding the wearable terminal battery pack and yet permits electrical coupling between the battery pack and the terminal in the latched condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2002Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Vocollect, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Mark Zatezalo, Mark Bradford Mellott, Ryan Anthony Zoschg, Michael Davis, Nicholas Barnes, Graham Keith Lacy, Ian Heseltine

Publication number: 20050272401Abstract: A wearable, mobile and/or portable terminal for use in an inventory management system. The terminal includes a terminal housing, a battery pack removably receivable within an external battery-receiving cavity of the terminal housing, and a battery latching mechanism that secures the battery pack in the battery-receiving cavity in a latched condition. The battery pack has an unlatched condition in which the battery latch mechanism is disengaged from the battery pack. The terminal and battery pack are environmentally sealed to, for example, preclude entry of water into the interior of the terminal when the terminal is immersed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2005Publication date: December 8, 2005Applicant: Vocollect, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Zatezalo, Mark Mellott, Ryan Zoschg, Michael Davis, Nicholas Barnes, Graham Lacy, Ian Heseltine
