Title: Composite manufacturing with a multi-dimensional array of independently-controllable thermal zones
Inventor: LAUREN A BURNS
IPC: G05B19/408
Filed: 2016-09-05
Abstract: A system and method 200 for manufacturing a composite structure 202 comprising a tool 204 with a surface 212 to support component elements of the composite structure. The surface is divided into a multi-dimensional array of thermal zones 216 to control the temperature of a component element (e.g. resin) of the composite structure. Sensors 206 provide data regarding a characteristic of the component element which is applied to a machine-learning algorithm 218 within a computing device 208 configured to generate control data to achieve a defined quality goal. A controller 210 independently controls the thermal zones 216 to locally heat, cool or maintain the temperature of the component element according to the control data to advance the component element or composite structure to the defined quality goal. This method is performed over a plurality of instances during which the machine-learning algorithm learns to increase advancement of the component element or composite structure to the defined quality goal. The algorithm may be configured to generate control data to achieve a desired shape of the front of the flow of resin, locally controlling the viscosity of the resin to steer the front of the flow into a desired shape or profile.

The magnetic signals may be filtered S2 and a modulus calculated for storage S3 as a pattern of magnetic features along the wellbore. Comparison S4 is made between the two sets by defining a sliding time window TW and a time of flight and establishing a correlation which is used S5 to derive a tool velocity and tool depth S6. The resulting log may be used on subsequent runs S7. The tool may be embodied as a centralized logging tool with spaces magnetic sensors or as flowable recording ball.

Title: Read-with-overridable-invalidate transaction
Inventor: PHANINDRA KUMAR MANNAVA
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2017-12-20
Abstract: An interconnect 10 manages coherency between master devices. A master 8 requests a read-with-overridable-­invalidate transaction to provide target data associated with a target address. When the target data is stored by a cache 30, the interconnect responds by issuing a snoop request to said cache triggering invalidation of the target data from the cache except when the interconnect or cache determines to override the invalidation and retain the target data in the cache. The transaction can be a hint from the requesting master that continuing to held the target data is not useful, but if the interconnect/cache knows better (e.g. from previous traffic of address accesses), it can ignore the hint. The snoop can be a snoop-with-overridable-invalidate request. The interconnect can follow or override the hint to invalidate by selecting invalidating SnoopUnique or non-invalidating SnoopOnce, respectively. When data is invalidated and dirty, writeback can be triggered or suppressed.

Title: A fire-proof extension for an electrical back box
Inventor: PAUL COY
IPC: H02G3/12
Filed: 2019-06-03
Abstract: A fire-proof extension 1 for an electrical back box 10 consists of an extension body that is open at first and second ends and that is formed from a folded template 2 of intumescent material, and a length of fibreglass tape 5 that is continuously wrapped around an outer side of the extension body leaving the first and second ends of the extension body open. The extension is advantageous in that it can be constructed simply by folding a template and wrapping in fibreglass tape. The provision of the fibreglass tape around the part of the extension that projects from the back box prevents the intumescent material from expanding outwards and instead constrains it to expand inwards thereby sealing the extension body in a fire. The template may have fold lines (3, Fig 1) where it can be folded and frangible lines (4, Fig 1) where it may be broken to select a desired depth, and may be made of 2 mm thick PVC.
