Title: Rotor blade shaped to enhance wake diffusion
Inventor: ANDREAS KNAUER
IPC: F03D1/06
Filed: 2015-06-10
Abstract: A blade 20 for a horizontal-axis wind turbine rotor comprises a radially-outer, energy-extraction portion 32 and a radially-inner, ventilation portion 30. The radially-inner ventilation portion 30 is shaped to ventilate a central area 34 of a wake of the rotor during use, such that it contains more kinetic energy compared to the wake from a conventional rotor design. The increased wind flow velocity at the centre 34 of the wake generates additional shear stresses, with corresponding turbulence development, which gives rise to increased wake diffusion. The inner portion may have an axial length of between 15% and 40% of the length of the blade. The twist angle and aerodynamic shape may be varied between the inner and outer portions.
Patent GB-2541445-A (GB)
Title: Injection device
Inventor: JAMES PAUL GRIMOLDBY
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 2015-08-20
Abstract: An injection device 100 for injection of an accurate dose of medicament contains a pre-filled syringe 10 with a stopper 22 for expelling medicament. A housing 110 contains the syringe, a plunger 142 for driving the stopper, and a priming mechanism having an operating member 152 which is movable with respect to the housing. The priming mechanism is arranged to move the syringe towards the plunger upon movement of the operating member, so that the stopper comes into contact with the plunger. Upon firing, the plunger moves a predetermined distance and so dispenses a known quantity of medicament. Rotation of the operating member causes a shuttle 170 to be axially displaced so it presses on the shoulder of the syringe barrel. A needle shield 30 is restrained and so this movement breaks the seal between the needle and the inner boot 32. Preferably, priming is driven by removing a cap from the injector.

Title: Methodologies and apparatus for the recognition of production tests stability
Inventor: FLORIAN HOLLAENDER
IPC: G01F1/74
Filed: 2015-08-20
Abstract: A method for analyzing flow of a fluid through a flowmeter is provided. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving multiphase flowmeter data representative of a characteristic of a multiphase fluid flowing through a multiphase flowmeter and segmenting the multiphase flowmeter data into time blocks. The data in the time blocks can be analyzed using time-domain analysis and / or frequency-domain analysis to determine flow stability. The time-domain analysis can include analyzing time blocks in a time domain to determine whether measurement distribution in the multiphase flowmeter data of the analyzed time blocks represents stable flow of the multiphase fluid. The frequency-domain analysis can include converting the multiphase flowmeter data of the time blocks from a time domain to a frequency domain and identifying time blocks in which contribution of low-frequency components in the frequency domain is below a contribution threshold. The data may be representative of a characteristic of a multiphase formation fluid produced from a well during a well production test. Also disclosed is an apparatus comprising a sensor coupled to a fluid conduit for measuring a characteristic of a multiphase fluid and a computer operable to analyse the characteristic.

Title: Optical frequency mixing module
Inventor: GARETH THOMAS MAKER
IPC: G02F1/35
Filed: 2016-02-12
Abstract: An optical frequency mixing module, 1, is described that comprises a) a nonlinear medium, 5, (e.g. a beta barium borate, BBO, crystal, 7) which frequency mixes the photons of one or more input optical fields, 3, 4, to generate an output optical field, 6, b) a nonlinear medium tuner, 8, for automatically phase matching the nonlinear medium to the one or more input optical fields to select the wavelength of the output optical field generated by the nonlinear medium and c) a first direction correcting optic, 9 (e.g. Brewster plate, 10.) The position of the first direction correcting optic relative to the nonlinear medium is dependent upon the selected wavelength of the output optical field and therefore ensures that the position and angle of propagation of this field remains constant and independent of its wavelength. The optical frequency mixing modules therefore provides a means for automatically selecting the wavelength of the output field with no deviation being imparted onto the position or angle of propagation of the output field.

Title: A method and apparatus and computer program for designing a replacement part
Inventor: PETER CHOW
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2016-11-11
Abstract: This application is for a way of redesigning replacement parts for piping based on how quickly they are degrading. It works by having a sensor attached to the part, or pipe, in situ which measures the thickness, or size, of the pipe walls S10. It then obtains the original design of the part in situ S20, and calculates changes in the size, or thickness of the part based on the difference between the sensor data and the design S30. This difference is then used to calculate if the part is wearing out too quickly, or too slowly. If the changes are undesirable, i.e. it is wearing out too quickly or slowly, the system automatically redesigns a replacement part by compensating for the changes by increasing or decreasing its size, or thickness, respectively S40. The undesirable change also leads to an adjustment in the predicted lifespan of the part, and the replacement part can be manufactured using a 3D printer.
