Title: Arrangement for mounting a turbocharger on an engine
Inventor: KHAN HANIF
IPC: F01D25/28
Filed: 2009-05-07
Abstract: A turbocharger, eg the low-pressure turbocharger 18 of a two-stage turbocharger system 17,18, is mounted on an engine by a mounting arrangement comprising spaced apart first and second connections. The first connection comprises at least one first connection element such as a hooked lug 33 and at least one bar, eg mounting bolt 44 extending across the channel 40 of a mounting bracket 37 attached to the engine crankcase 50. The lug 33 is hooked over the bolt 44 which takes the weight of the turbocharger while the second connection, which comprises second and third connector elements, eg further lug 34 and second bolt 45, are secured together. The first connection 33, 44 allows for movement of the turbocharger 18 relative to the engine in order to bring the second and third connector elements into register for securement. The recess 35 in the hook 33a of the lug 33 provides a clearance in a direction transverse to the axis so as to accommodate thermal expansion movement of the first connection element 33 relative to the bolt 44 in a direction towards or away from the second connection after the second connection 34,45 is made.

Title: Scheduling MBMS transmissions in subframes of radio frames
Inventor: LIESHOUT GERARDUS JOHANNES PETRUS VAN
IPC: H04W4/06
Filed: 2009-08-11
Abstract: A method for scheduling multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) transmissions in subframes of radio frames. Different MBMS user data is received for broadcasting to wireless communication units. During a first scheduling period, the different MBMS user data is scheduled for broadcasting in respective subframes within a first radio frame and, during a second scheduling period, the different MBMS user data is scheduled in a different order in respective subframes within a second radio frame. The varied subframe order is based on the MBMS service to be broadcast. The invention seeks to use service hopping to minimise conflicts between reception of MBMS data and measurement gaps by scheduling to minimise overlap between subframes used to broadcast MBMS data and subframes allocated to a UE for performing measurements.

IPC: A01K31/18

Abstract: 180,501. Kiss, A. L., and Rohonci, H. April 5, 1921. Hatching and rearing appliances.-An incubator, rearer, or the like for eggs, chicks, spawn, bacteria, &c. in which the sole source of heat is a body of hot water is constructed with two water-vessels, one vessel A serving to store the hot water, and the other B acting as a heating-element in direct proximity to the egg or chick chamber, the water flowing at a regulated rate from the storage vessel through the heating-element. In the form shown in Fig. 3 the rate of flow of the water is controlled by a thermostat P operating a valve S to open or close the outlet pipe D. Alternatively the valve is set by hand and a secondary valve may be employed to cause the flow to become gradually more rapid to allow the fall of temperature of the water. A float or clockwork operating a conical rod-valve in the outlet pipe may be employed for this purpose, and to counteract the effect of the decrease of the head of water. The heating-element 3 instead of being arranged above the egg-chamber may be placed below and adjustably supported on a screw and crossed rods for ensuring parallel motion. A telescopic inlet pipe and flexible outlet pipe are employed in this case. The foster-mother shown in Fig. 7 has two chick compartments, one above and one below the heating-element B, but the heater may be arranged above the upper compartment only.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Weft-replenishing Mechanism of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: BARRELL WILLIAM LINCOLN
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1916-07-19
Abstract: 115,046. Barrell, W. L. July 19, 1916. W e f t - replenishing mechanism. - A spent shuttle is transferred from the weaving-mechanism to a bobbin-receiving position outside the weaving- mechanism, a bobbin is transferred from a magazine to the shuttle, and the loaded shuttle is transferred to the shuttle box while the weaving- mechanism is at rest. Upon indication of weftfailure, a transferrer or loader 55, Fig. 2, is raised and, by means of link connexions to the starting- lever, the weaving-mechanism is stopped with the lay in its rearward position, and the weft-replenishing mechanism is set in motion. A carrier 60 carrying a loaded shuttle 59 beneath a magazine 50 then moves to the right, and, by means of a fixed abutment 73, the shuttle is caused to drop on to fingers 71 integral with the carrier 60. At. the same time, the front 19, Fig. 6, of the shuttle box rises and operates an ejector 30 to push the spent shuttle 29 on to a receiver 36, Fig. 7. The carrier 60 with the loaded shuttle then moves towards the lay and the receiver with the spent shuttle begins to rise, so that the carrier with the loaded shuttle passes through the open frame of the receiver and deposits the loaded shuttle 59 in the shuttle box, as shown in Fig. 9. The shuttle-box front 19 is then lowered, thus confining the loaded shuttle. The receiver 36 then descends to deposit the spent shuttle upon the surface 68 of the carrier and to allow the shuttle to pass over it when the carrier moves towards the magazine. The carrier then places the spent shuttle in the loading position beneath the magazine, and a pusher 76 moves the shuttle against the fixed abutment 73. The loader 55 is then actuated and places a full bobbin in the shuttle and ejects the exhausted bobbin through an aperture 67 in the bottom of the carrier, the loom being re-started and the weft-replenishing mechanism being brought to rest. The several parts of the mechanism are operated from cams on a camshaft 18, Fig. 2. The receiver 36, Fig. 7, is connected to a bracket on the lay by means of a cam slot 49 so that, as it rises, it moves away from the shuttle box. The carrier 60 is mounted on a lever 61 and is moved towards the lay under the action of a spring 63, so that, if the lay is not in its most rearward position during replenishment, the carrier will still be in correct position for transferring the replenished shuttle.

Abstract: 763,850. Discharge tube selective amplifying circuits. BRITISH THOMSONHOUSTON CO., Ltd. April 20, 1955 [April 7, 1954], No. 10239/54. Class 40(6) In an amplifier having a feed-back circuit including a pair of resistor-capacitor networks, the networks are tuned to the same frequency and arranged in cascade to give a band-pass or band-stop effect. A band-pass amplifier is obtained, Fig. 4, by employing two networks F1, F2 arranged in the feed-back loop round a discharge tube V1. Each network has an amplitude response and phase response as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. At frequencies near f the two circuits give a small positive output so that peaks occur at frequencies f1, f2, Fig. 5, while at frequencies further removed from f the feed-back is negative. In a practical embodiment, Fig. 7, the filter networks F1, F2 are isolated by cathode followers V2, V3 the networks being shunted by capacitor C7 and resistor R10 to flatten the response (Fig. 8, not shown). A band-stop effect may be obtained (Fig. 10, not shown) by employing a Wien bridge.
