Title: Patient positioning training apparatus
Inventor: GIDEON MATTHEW HALE
IPC: A61B5/11
Filed: 2015-04-24
Abstract: A method of assisting a patient 24 in controlling their position comprises using reference position data indicative of a reference position of a patient, actual position data is also monitored and then compared with the reference position data to determine a position deviation, and light is emitted which is detectable by the patient as ambient light if there is a position deviation. In an embodiment the position data is breathing displacement, where the actual position data is based on a breathing cycle of the patient. In alternative embodiments, sound could also be used, for example, by changing the amplitude or tone of sound audible to a patient when there is a position deviation. In embodiments colour could be the property of light used, for example a change in colour from green to blue if there is a position deviation. Alternatively, brightness, hue angle or flicker rate could be used. The light source may be placed outside the line of sight of a patient, or be reflected off surfaces of the medical equipment for example.

Title: Zero gas emission continuous steelmaking process
Inventor: WARNER NOEL ALFRED
IPC: F27D7/06
Filed: 2013-12-03
Abstract: Crushed iron ore and ore fines without distinction are incorporated by chemical reaction into a closed- loop melt circulation reactor to form a thin liquid floating oxidic layer comprised initially principally of molten wustite. Hydrogen reduction is gas phase diffusion controlled so is unaffected by total pressure. Energy requirements are supplied by a carrier medium of molten iron circulating within an unmelted steel shell. Post-combustion of reduction off-gas is inherently dangerous so the reduction off-gas has no direct access to post-combustion. A multiple array of axi-symmetric turbulent jets inject clean hydrogen into the gas freeboard in the post-combustion zone to entrain the surrounding gas phase, predominantly turbulent flowing water vapour containing minor oxygen. Major recirculation of post- combustion off-gas is achieved using a gas ejector empowered by compressed oxygen as dictated for safe combustion. Atmospheric pressure operation is recommended with low-pressure steam enshrouding all plant containing hydrogen for enhanced safety.

Abstract: A method for designing a planetary gearset meeting one or more design targets, comprising the steps of specifying a size and ratio of the gearset, specifying a number of planets, calculating all valid combinations of tooth numbers and planet numbers that satisfy one or more constraints, selecting a starting combination, calculating a value for a design target for the gearset and modifying one or more macro-geometry parameters. The macro-geometry parameters are chosen so that the positive effects of one parameter on the design target counteract any negative effects of another macro-geometry parameter. This method produces a planetary gearset meeting one or more design targets. The design target may be for bending strength wherein the last step comprises calculating bending strengths for the gear teeth and comparing with the target design, modifying the macro-geometry parameters when outside of the design target. The macro-geometry parameters may relate to the module and comprise reducing power loss by reducing contact length between two meshing teeth and increasing bending strength by increasing either one of the pressure angle, helix angle, face width or centre distance.
