Patent CA-2556275-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CONVILLE DAVID
IPC: E04B2/00
Filed: 2006-08-14
Abstract: A rigid, metallic clip and a method for providing hard fastened, anti-racking ceiling and wall construction. A flat, perforated body portion bordering an integral, perforated tab extends downwardly from a junction at the midpoint. A pair of spaced apart and parallel fingers projecting forwardly engage the top plate, snugly resting beneath insulation to temporarily retain clips for screwing. A pair of elongated, reinforcing grooves extending from the clip rear to the junction are convex, so the bottom of the clip flushly mates with the ceiling sheet. The rigid, integral tab projects downwardly at a preferred angle of eighty-seven degrees.  Clips positioned on the top plate are fastened by screws that penetrate the tab. The horizontal ceiling sheet can then be screwed to adjoining clips. A sidewall sheet disposed substantially vertically is then screwed to framing. The sheets cover the clip body, and no jagged edges or sharp points remain visible.

Each concentration parameter value is indicative of a respective instantaneous activity concentration of the active saline solution.  Respective error values between each concentration parameter value and a target activity concentration value of the elution run are computed. Error data based on a plurality of the computed error values is accumulated.  Between successive elution runs, at least one performance parameter of the elution system is adjusted based on the accumulated error data.

Abstract: A method of detecting a fuel leak from a fuel store of an aircraft is described. A processor (1) receives inputs (2, 3) relating to the amount of fuel in the fuel store and to the rate of fuel used by the aircraft, both inputs being subject to noise. The processor defines a fuel flow system state defined by a noise-compensated measures of the amount of fuel in the fuel store, a fuel leak amount estimate and a fuel leak rate estimate. The processor (1) periodically calculates a new estimated state of the system in view of a previous estimated state of the system and values of the inputs (2, 3). The processor monitors the fuel leak amount estimate and the fuel leak rate estimate and if either exceeds a respective threshold value send a signal to a fuel leak warning means (4). The method employs a recursive state estimation method that improves leak detection, reduces false alarms and is less demanding on processor and memory requirements.
