Title: An aircraft landing gear assembly
Inventor: ROBERT IAN THOMPSON
IPC: B64C25/62
Filed: 2020-12-21
Abstract: An aircraft landing gear assembly 10 comprising a landing gear bracket 14 with independently movable fore and aft levers 161, 162 receiving fore and aft wheels 22, 23. Fore and aft lever stops 151, 152 respectively prevent downward movement of fore and aft levers past lowest rotational positions at first and second angles α1, α2 from a notional bracket axis 201. The first angle is greater than the second angle. Therefore, the aft lever may pivot, dropping to rest against the aft stop, such that rear wheel(s) extend lower than fore wheel(s). Since forwards tyres drop higher than rear tires, the rear wheels may contact the ground before the fore wheels during landing. Rear wheels may “spin-up” before fore wheels with associated vibrations occurring at different times, reducing any resonance effects. Lever stops may be abutment surfaces provided at different angles on a single metal block 150 shaped as a triangle, or circle sector.

Title: Method for operating a vacuum pump and vacuum pump
Inventor: HOLGER DIETZ
IPC: F04C29/00
Filed: 2021-03-12
Abstract: Vacuum pump 10 and method for operating a vacuum pump wherein first the humidity in the vacuum pump, or humidity in the environment of the pump, is determined and if the determined humidity is above a pre-set threshold a control signal is generated to control condensation reduction means for reduction of humidity within the vacuum pump or to generate a warn signal. Preferably the humidity is determined by a humidity sensor 20, or an environmental humidity sensor 22. The pump may be a scroll pump and the reduction of condensation may be achieved by controlling, with control unit 12, an inlet valve 24, outlet valve 26, gas ballast system 18, 19, and the vacuum pump itself in addition to a cooling system and/or a heating system. When the pump is shutdown the control unit may close the inlet valve and/or close the outlet valve and may continue to run the pump for a pre-set time until the humidity falls below a second threshold. The warning signal can alert a user to condensation in the pump. Benefit: prevents corrosion particularly of cast iron dry vacuum pumps.

Title: A method of investigating a multi-string wellbore
Inventor: Maja Skataric
IPC: G01V1/50
Filed: 2017-03-02
Abstract: A method using sonic tool data to investigate a multi-string well bore. Sonic measurements are performed along a depth interval in a wellbore to provide sonic data for multiple locations along the wellbore 310. The sonic data is processed to obtain indications as a function of depth of at least one of an energy spectrum, a semblance projection, a slowness dispersion projection, an attenuation dispersion projection, and a wavenumber dispersion projection (figures 13a-13f). These indications are inspected to locate a shift 340 at a particular depth indicating a transition in the material present in at least one annulus (fig. 13a, 410a, 410b) of the multi-string wellbore. The processing can include applying a bandpass filter 320 to the sonic data, and applying semblance processing to the filtered data 334. This can be used to monitor the presence of cement or water in an annulus.

Filed: 2021-06-25
Abstract: Using one or more neural networks 304, 306, 308, 310 to generate second graphical user interfaces (GUI) 316 based, at least in part, on functional features of first graphical user interfaces 302. The neural networks may further be used to generate the second graphical user interfaces based on visual features of the first graphical user interfaces. The visual and functional features may be translated to a set of feature vectors adhering to a common schema. The feature vectors may be encoded into a latent space which define constraints of the second graphical user interface by variational autoencoders which may be included in the neural networks. The neural networks may include generative adversarial networks (GAN). This allows for graphical user interfaces to be translated onto alternate devices while preserving the functionality of the original interface.

Title: Virtualizing specific values in a guest configuration based on the underlying host symbol repository
Inventor: AHILAN RAJADEVA
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2021-10-21
Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for virtualizing specific values in a guest configuration based on the underlying host symbol substitution values. A symbolic link located in a traditional file system in a virtual guest is opened. Each symbol is extracted from a symbol-based file located in a symbol-based file system. The symbol-based file is accessed through a symbolic link from the traditional file system. The virtual guest issues a privileged instruction to a hypervisor for each symbol in the symbol-based file to retrieve a substitution value from a symbol table that is stored in hypervisor storage. The substitution value for each symbol is returned to the virtual guest, and it replaces the symbol in the symbol-based file. In response to a file read request for the traditional file, the substitution value is retrieved from the symbol-based file using the symbolic link from the traditional file.
