Title: Method of electricity leakage detection and prevention of electrical equipment's outer surface and system thereof
Inventor: WU WEI
IPC: H02H3/16
Filed: 2011-12-12
Abstract: A method of electricity leakage detection and prevention of electrical equipment's outer surface and system thereof. The method and system are used for detecting and preventing electricity leakage of the electrical equipment's outer surface caused by defective insulation and power supply connection faults. By monitoring the current path (2) formed between the electrical equipment neutral line (Î') and the electrical equipment's outer surface (G') and monitoring the current value thereof, an electricity leakage of the outer surface of electrical equipment can be detected without human intervention, and the connection between the electrical equipment and the power supply can subsequently be cut off and an alarm activated. In the system, a power supply path (5) is set up to ensure a source of power, and thereby normal operation, even when the power supply connection fails. According to the method and system, the electricity leakage of the outer surface can be correctly detected and the alarm can be activated or the connection between the electrical equipment and the power supply can be cut even if the electrical equipment's outer surface is free. With the advantage of simple construction and low cost, the system can be widely used.

Title: A method of modelling at least a part of a gas turbine engine
Inventor: Luca di Mare
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2015-03-24
Abstract: A method comprising: preparing a model of at least a part of the gas turbine engine using a data structure including: a first set of data entities representing geometrical shapes of physical features; and a second set of data entities representing geometrical shapes of aerodynamic boundaries, the second set of data entities being used to preserve aerodynamic design intent during preparation of the model.

Title: Barrier-controlling sanitising apparatus and methods
Inventor: Mervyn Raymond Wooltorton
IPC: G08B21/24
Filed: 2017-01-13
Abstract: Sanitising system which is able to control a barrier. The embodiment shows a push-button liquid soap dispenser which is able to control a door. Passage through the door is only permitted after the system has detected that a user has performed a sanitising procedure, such as using the dispenser. The opening of the barrier is subject to a predetermined delay after detection of the procedure. This is intended to increase the likelihood that the user will properly clean their hands. After the barrier is released, the delay controls the time at which the barrier automatically closes. Alternatively, the dispensed product may be hand gel, liquid or solid soap, foam, or a sanitising towel/wipe. If a wipe the system may check whether the wipe is used to contact a sensing interface. The barrier may unlock for manual operation or may open and close automatically. The system may require that the dispenser is fully used a predetermined number of times before the barrier is released. The barrier may comprise a light beam. Several other permutations are disclosed.
