Title: Aircraft fire control
Inventor: FAULDS THOMAS CASSIE
IPC: A62C3/08
Filed: 1985-10-05
Abstract: This invention relates to a fire control system for an aircraft and comprises means for producing a barrier, curtain or blanket at a number of positions along the length of the internal cabin or body of the aircraft. In one example each of the barrier units comprises a fluid pressure duct 21 shaped as a hood around the cabin with a number of spaced nozzles 22 at intervals. These pressure ducts are connected to external quick-connect couplings by which the whole system can be supplied with water or other fire extinguishing fluid from a vehicle on the ground outside the aircraft. Alternatively the aircraft may be provided with a built-in reservoir for fire fighting fluid or there may be a connection to a conventional water supply on board the aircraft. Instead of a liquid "curtain" the system may be arranged to provide a curtain of air or an inert gas. In another alternative the system may be arranged to release mechanical barriers consisting of a large number of separate strands or ribbons. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1987-06-26
Abstract: This probe comprises an assembly fitted with electrodes 5, 7 which are situated on the two sides of a wall section of a material which is selective from the point of view of the ions and separates a chamber 9 containing the gas to be measured from a chamber 3 containing a reference gas. The solid substances entrained by the gas to be measured do not influence the measurement, the probe works on the basis of diffusion and its response time is increased because the chamber 9 narrows from a device 16 for receiving the gas to be measured in the direction of the wall section, the chamber 9 being limited, outside the wall section, by heat-lagging bodies 11, 13 fitted with layers 11a, 13a preventing the diffusion of the gas.

IPC: B01D53/26
Filed: 1989-06-07
Abstract: In a humidity controller having a humidity controlling element 2A disposed at the opening of a chamber 1 e.g. for a magnetic disk unit and constituted by a hydrogen ion conductor membrane 7, porous electrodes 8a, 8b disposed on two surfaces of the hydrogen ion conductor membrane and collecting electrodes 11a, 11b disposed on opposite surfaces of the porous electrodes, each of the collecting electrodes is disposed over an area smaller than the whole area of each surface of the hydrogen ion conductor membrane such that the current density at the portion of the hydrogen ion conductor membrane where there is no collecting electrode is reduced by at most 1/2, thereby reducing the stress due to the difference between the linear expansion coefficients of the porous electrodes and the collecting electrodes and limiting disconnection between these electrodes. The difference between the humidity control performance of this humidity controller and that of the arrangement in which collecting electrodes are disposed over the whole surfaces of the porous electrodes is small.

Patent GB-2225431-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in magnetic resonance measurement
Inventor: LEACH MARTIN OSMUND
IPC: G01R33/56
Filed: 1989-08-18
Abstract: In nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy spatial localization of the output signal is achieved by using gradient magnetic fields and radio-frequency inversion pulses to define slices through a sample from which a signal is obtained. The use of intersecting slices allows the field of view to be reduced to the region of intersection to study a localized volume of interest in the sample. Conventionally, three orthogonal gradient magnetic fields can be defined by energizing successively three gradient magnetic field coils. With the present invention combinations of the gradient magnetic field coils are energized simultaneously to allow the field of view to be more closely conformed to a desired volume of interest. This simultaneous energization allows the field of view to be rotated relative to the axes of the coils and/or allows non-orthogonal intersecting slices to be defined to alter the shape of the field of view at the intersection of the slices. Further, more than three slices may be defined to allow polyhedral fields of view to be defined. The invention is applicable to many modern forms of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
