An oral receptacle (10) having a receptacle body (12). The receptacle body (12) contains an effervescent means (14) comprising an acid (16) and a carbonate (18) and a medicinal and/or psychoactive component (20) for producing a medicinal and/or psychoactive effect on a user, wherein the receptacle body (12) is configured so that when the receptacle body (12) is received in the user's mouth, the effervescent means (14) forms a foam which distributes the medicinal and/or psychoactive component (20).

A dental scan aid 12 is provided comprising a scan substrate 14 having a randomised irregular surface 16 unique to the dental scan aid 12. There is a connection means to allow the scan substrate 14 to be fixed relative to a patient's maxillary or mandibular arch 10a, 10b. There is also a regular structure 24 extending from the randomised irregular surface 16 to thereby provide fixed positional information relative to the maxillary or mandibular arch 10a, 10b to improve dental scan accuracy when the dental scan aid 12 is in position.

A pump connector adapter (110) for an electrosurgical device is provided. The adapter (110) has a body (112) having a flow passage therethrough. An absorption member (130) can then be provided to collect fluid within the body (112).

Apparatus is provided for removing a ferrule (71) from a pressurised pipe (70). The apparatus comprises: a housing (3) having a formation (18) at one end. The formation (18) is adapted to engage, in use, with a complementary formation (83) on a pipe sealing device (80). An internal member (2) is mounted on the housing (3) and has a first portion (9) located within the housing (3) and a second portion (5) external of the housing (3). The first portion comprises a ferrule engagement portion (9) and the second portion (5) comprising an operating tool engagement formation (6). The internal member (2) is movable relative to the housing (3) between a disengaged position in which a terminal end (8) of the first portion is located within the housing (3) and an engaged position in which the ferrule engagement portion (9) engages with a ferrule (71) on a pipe (70), in use.

The present application discloses a multi-functional wireless test platform, including: a multi-probe arc-shaped fixture (1) configured to hold multiple probe antennas, which are used to receive electric field data emitted by a device under test; a robotic arm (3) configured to drive the multi-probe arc-shaped fixture (1) to perform spherical scanning of the device under test with the device under test being the center of a sphere; a motion system (2, 6, 7) for the device under test configured to mount and drive the device under test to execute predetermined movements to cooperate and complete the spherical scanning; and a control system (9) used to determine the spherical scanning parameters, and to sample and analyse the electric field data emitted by the device under test to obtain its performance parameters. The present application can implement wireless testing of multiple functions using a single device, thereby significantly saving testing space and time costs.

Disclosed is a separator device 10 for removing suspended particles from heating and/or cooling system fluid. The separator device 10 comprises an inlet 16 and outlet 18 for fluid flow, a method of generating a swirl of fluid on entry to the housing 12, a magnetic element and mesh filter 46 positioned between the inlet 16 and outlet 18 and a sediment collection region 76 for the retainment of separated debris. The mesh filter 46 is in the form of a basket, having an open end facing the bottom of the separator device 10, just above the inlet 16, and the sediment collection region 76 is below the inlet.

Disclosed is a separator device 10 for removing suspended particles from heating and/or cooling system fluid. The separator device 10 comprises a hydrocyclone separator 38, an inlet 24 to the hydrocyclone separator 38, a sediment collection region 78 disposed below an aperture 46 in the hydrocyclone separator 38, a blocking wall 54 across a central part of the top of the hydrocyclone separator 38 to define an outflow annulus, a mesh basket 44, and an outlet 24 from the separator device 10 for returning fluid back to the central heating and/or cooling system circuit. Suspended particles are primarily removed from the fluid by a vortex that establishes in the hydrocyclone separator 38, and remaining particles are captured and retained in the mesh basket 44 disposed above the hydrocyclone separator 38.

A separator 10 for removing particles from suspension in a fluid, comprising: an inlet 26a and an outlet 26b for fluid; a mesh 32 between the inlet and the outlet; a turbine 33 comprising one or more vanes 40 to allow a flow of fluid through the separator to rotate the turbine; and one or more brushes 42 or scrapers fixed to the turbine for removing particles from the mesh.

A fastener extractor device for removing seized fasteners and aiding in disengaging the extractor device from said seized fastener afterwards. The extractor device includes a shank body, a drive head, a torque-tool body, a tubular sleeve, an external thread, and an internal thread. The torque-tool body includes a plurality of laterally-bracing sidewalls and an at least one engagement feature. The engagement feature is integrated into a specific sidewall to bite into a sized fastener. The drive head is terminally and concentrically connected to the shank body to receive an external torque tool. The torque-tool body is terminally and concentrically connected to the shank body, opposite the drive head. The tubular sleeve is slidably engaged along the shank body through the internal thread and the external thread to physically disengaged the torque-tool body from a seized fastener.
