Title: Electromagnetic door lock with shock sensor
Inventor: LIAO LI-SHIH
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 2012-12-28
Abstract: An electromagnetic door lock with shock detection and power saving device comprises an electromagnet assembly 20 and a corresponding attraction assembly 30. The electromagnet assembly 20 is connected to a shock detection module 40 and the attraction assembly 30 has a retaining unit 50 to abut the shock detection module40. The shock detection module detects an impact or shock on the door and triggers the electromagnets to move a low power state to a high power state such that the two magnets are securely attracted to each other preventing the opening of the door. The shock mechanism comprises an abutment body 44 which engages with an abutment button 54, when the abutment body 44 is depressed due to shock or inertia on the door it contacts a shock sensor (43 Fig 4) turning on the electromagnets. The abutment body is biased into the deployed position. This lock saves energy as the electricity supply to the electromagnets is reduced for the majority of the time.

Title: An arrangement of fins
Inventor: ALONSO-DAVIS LUIS
IPC: B63B35/79
Filed: 2013-11-26
Abstract: A surfboard has a central fin 1 and a pair of lateral fins 2, 3. The central fin 1 has ribs 4 extending rearward along both faces 9 from a leading edge 5 to a trailing edge of the fin. The ribs define channels 8 each having a length in the leading to trailing direction which generally follows the contour of the fin. The channels taper along their length, narrowing towards the trailing end. The outer fins 2, 3, have similar channels on their outer faces 9, but smooth inner faces 6. The fins 1, 2, 3 may include projections which mate with apertures in the board (see figure 5). The lateral fins 2, 3 are preferably forward of the central fin 1. In another embodiment (not shown) the channels may be apertures extending through the fin. The channels, particularly the tapering from leading to trailing ends, are intended to invoke a venture effect as the fins cut through water, with the water entering the leading end of the channels and being ejected at greater velocity from the trailing end of the channels.

Abstract: Described is a device for inducing crystal nucleation in a crystalliser. The device comprises a vessel for fluid and a surface abrader, wherein the surface abrader is configured to abrade a surface within the vessel to induce crystal nucleation. The friction of the abrader against the surface within the vessel creates nano-sized particulates which induce crystal nucleation. Crystal growth can then take place in the crystalliser. Also described is a crystallisation apparatus comprising the device and a crystallisation process using the device or similar. The device is significantly cheaper and more reliable than known ultrasound devices and facilitates the separation of crystal nucleation and crystal growth. The device also enables the avoidance of the use of seeding as a source of secondary nucleation.
