Title: Pipe having reduced residual stress
Inventor: WOOD ALAN KEITH
IPC: B29C48/90
Filed: 2012-02-08
Abstract: A polyetheretherketone pipe with a residual stress of less than 5MPa is made using a calibrator device 2 having a cone shaped opening 6 to receive a molten extruded pipe shaped polymer. Attached to front member 4 is a vacuum plate 14a and successive plates 14b-14h are attached in an array. The plates being arranged to allow a vacuum to be applied to the pipe precursor. Plates 14 include temperature control means for heating or cooling the plates and the pipe precursor. With vacuum applied to opening 6, 16 and heating/cooling the plates, an extruded hot plastics pipe is conveyed through plates 14, whereupon it is urged by the vacuum against the cylindrical surface defined by plates 14 to maintain its shape. The temperature of each plate is controlled to control the rate of cooling. The pipe may be cooled at a relatively slow rate so that a pipe made from a relatively fast crystallising polymer crystalises and the crystallinity of the pipe along its extent and throughout its thickness is substantially constant.

Title: System for emulating continuous pan/tilt cameras
Inventor: PELLING NICHOLAS JOHN
IPC: G03B37/02
Filed: 2010-07-28
Abstract: A system for emulating a continuous pan/tilt camera includes a camera having an image sensor for capturing an image. A camera orientation system includes a tip/tilt orientation mechanism having two axes of rotation with constrained range of movement for positioning the camera to capture the image within a hemispherical space. The two axes of rotation are generally orthogonal to each other and generally parallel to a plane forming a back side of the hemispheric space. An image transformation system rotates a portion of the captured image to emulate the continuous pan/tilt camera. The camera further includes a control system for adjusting an active area of the image sensor in response to a divergence between an optical center of the image sensor and a mechanical center of camera orientation system. The image transformation system is configurable in response to a spatial orientation of the hemispherical space.

Title: Using motion sensor data to process images from image sensors with overlapping fields of view
Inventor: MILLWARD ROBERT
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2012-12-20
Abstract: An image processor (77) for processing images received from a plurality of image sensors 55, 57 affixed to a platform, each image sensor having a field of view that at least partially overlaps with the field of view of another one of the other image sensors. For each image sensor, the image processor uses motion data that is received from a motion sensor (25a, 25b) associated with the respective image sensor, together with reference motion data from a motion sensor affixed to the platform, to determine whether the image sensor has moved from an expected position during the interval between its capturing a first 51 and second image 67. The image processor adjusts the second image received from each respective image sensor accordingly, for example by translation, rotation or magnification of the image, and combines the adjusted images into a single output image. The image processor may be used in military applications, for example in providing images of the external environment to a pilot of an aircraft. The image sensors may be synchronised and the optical flow of features of the first and second images may be used to determine the angular velocity of the image sensors.

Title: A device for drafting fibre slivers more evenly by means of self-adjusting the lap spacing between rollers
Inventor: LUSTRAETEN BRITTA
IPC: D01H5/46
Filed: 2013-03-28
Abstract: A device on a drafting mechanism of a spinning room machine, for drafting one or more fibre slivers, comprising at least two roll pairs arranged one after another. The upper rolls are arranged to be pressed against the lower rolls by spring loading. At least one cylinder containing a piston 18 is arranged so as to be axially movable within the cylinder housing 9, from which a piston rod 19 extends towards the upper roll. A sensor arrangement 24, 25 is provided for determining the position of the piston, with a switching element connected to the piston. To allow self-adjusting lap recognition with a desired spacing of the switching element from the switch, there is arranged, between the switching element and the piston, a magneto rheological substance, such as a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) 26, or fluid, which co-operates with an electromagnetic coil 27. The MRE is able to modify its viscoelastic properties when exposed to the field of the coil, which, when activated, hardens the MRE. If a lap starts to form around the rolls, the piston 18 presses against the MRE 26, which in turn presses the switching screw 25 upwards, triggering the sensor.

Title: An improved focused acoustic transducer
Inventor: GOODMAN GEORGE DAVID
IPC: G01V1/44
Filed: 2011-01-18
Abstract: A focused acoustic transducer suitable for use in a downhole environment is disclosed. At least some embodiments employ a disk of piezoelectric material with low planar coupling and low Poisson's ratio mounted on a backing material and sealed inside an enclosure. The piezoelectric material disk has a pattern of electrodes deposited on an otherwise smooth, ungrooved surface. Despite the lack of grooves, the material's low planar coupling and low Poisson's ratio enables the electrodes to operate in a phased relationship to provide and receive focused acoustic pulses. Moreover, the elimination of deep cuts offers a much lower cost of construction. The electrode material may be any conductive material, though silver and silver alloys are contemplated. The patterning of electrodes can occur during the deposition process (e.g., using a silk-screen or other printing technique) or afterwards (e.g., mechanically or chemically with an etch technique that uses a pre- or post-deposition photoresist layer).

Title: Rotary pulse detonation engine
Inventor: POMERLEAU DANIEL GUY
IPC: F01C1/22
Filed: 2012-12-17
Abstract: This invention relates to devices for discharging high pressure exhaust, and in particular to pulse detonation engines. More specifically, the invention describes a rotary pulse detonation engine having a rotary valve system. The rotary valve includes a generally-triangular rotor having rotor tips within a rotor chamber having trochoid inner end surfaces and side surfaces. The rotor defines three working chambers defined by the rotor tips contacting the rotor surfaces. In operation, the rotor tips move in a circumferential direction around the rotor chamber as the rotor spins. During operation, each of the working chambers will sequentially pass through an intake interval, compression interval, expansion interval, and an exhaust interval to create and detonate compressed fuel air mixtures for effective release to an exhaust chamber and nozzle thereby creating a pulsed detonation sequence.

Title: Adaptive data streaming method with push messages control
Inventor: OUEDRAOGO NA L
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-06-12
Abstract: The invention is based up DASH (dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP) or similar in combination with the push function from HTTP/2. The invention proposes a system with a push policy to push additional media data (e.g. segments 2.1) along with explicitly requested media data 1.1. Both client and server know the policy, and this allows the client to know what data will be transmitted before it (or push promises related to it) are received. Therefore, the client may refuse or request changes to upcoming data in a timely fashion. The push policy may be implicit, or explicitly provided in a media presentation description (MPD) or similar. The client may also request changes to the push policy 1805.
