Title: Salient pole stator coil retainer with coolant passage
Inventor: WINSOR CARL STANLEY
IPC: H02K3/24
Filed: 2012-09-13
Abstract: A cooling component 30 for an electrical machine is placed in the mouth of a slot between two poles of the stator 12, the component holding the windings 20 securely in the slot. The component carries fluid in tube 34 which absorbs heat from the winding and in some embodiments the fluid is passed to a heat exchanger before being recirculated to the machine. The component can also be shaped so as to streamline the mouth of the slot and reduce the windage loss and acoustic noise which are associated with an irregular stator bore. The tube may be single pass with manifold connections at either end of the component 30 (fig 3 not shown) or may be hairpin shaped 34 and engaged with supply and return manifolds 36,38. Tube 34 may traverse the component a number of times and may be only partially enclosed so as to be disposed in direct contact with the windings. The coolant may be gaseous or liquid (e.g. water or oil) The component may be manufactured in situ by moulding or curing an assembly of subcomponents placed in the slot. Materials may comprise felt or glass mat impregnated with resin.

IPC: G02B7/34
Filed: 2012-09-27
Abstract: An image pickup apparatus has an image sensor (100, figure 1) with pixels for photoelectrical conversion of paired object images respectively formed by light fluxes passing through different areas of an exit pupil of an image capturing optical system 1301. Signal producing means 1306 produces paired image signals corresponding to respective paired object images for each of a plurality of pixel lines by using output from each of pixel lines included in a focus detection area (602, figure 6a) of the image sensor. Each pixel line has pixels arranged in a line in a first direction, and the pixel lines are arranged in rows in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The image pick up apparatus includes calculating means 1309 for calculating a defocus amount of the image capturing optical system by using the paired image signals produced for each pixel line. The calculating means is configured to for each pixel line, produce first correlation data by relatively shifting the paired image signals in the first direction and calculating a correlation value for each relative shift amount, add together corresponding correlation values of the first correlation data.

Title: Cremation process and apparatus
Inventor: WALSH JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: F23G1/00
Filed: 2013-07-03
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of cremation of foetal remains. The method comprises disposing the remains in a combustible container 40 sized for foetal remains. The container is then placed in a foetal cremation chamber 20a that is suitably sized for the cremation of foetal remains. The chamber is heated and supplied with oxygen so that combustion of the foetal remains and container occurs. The oxygen supply is without sufficient turbulence to displace solid remains of the combustion. By that means, solid ash remains may be retrieved from the foetal cremation chamber after the combustion is complete. The foetal cremation chamber may be one of several, sharing a common heat source, for example hot gas from combustion of a fuel circulated under said several chambers, or it may be a single foetal cremation chamber, comprising an electrically heated hearth floor. In another embodiment, the chamber is in the form of a pod constructed from refractory material capable of withstanding and conducting the heat of a normal cremation or incineration chamber. It comprises air vents to allow inflow of oxygen into the chamber to support combustion of the chamber contents, and evolution of exhaust gas from the chamber.

Title: Improved modular filing system
Inventor: BEVAN JOHN
IPC: B42F7/14
Filed: 2013-08-10
Abstract: A modular container for storing magazines, files, directories or similar in an upright position comprises panels which connect to form the container. The container comprises base panel 3, side panels 1, and back panel 2. The connecting means may comprise tongues 4, 7 which locate in complementary slots 5, 6. In a preferred embodiment some tongues are L-shaped such that connecting two panels requires movement in one direction to insert a tongue 4 of one panel into the slot 5 of another panel, and movement in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to lock the tongue in the slot (see fig. 3). The side panels 1 preferably have slots 5 which receive L-shaped tongues 4 of the back panel and base panel, and the base panel 3 preferably includes a tongue 7 which is inserted through a slot 6 in the back panel and bent out of plane to lock it in place (see fig. 4). Assembled containers may connect together to form larger structures, and the width of each container may be varied, e.g. by using differently sized base panels. The absence of a front panel allows items to be easily slid into the container.

Inventor: FANNIN DAVID SAMUEL
IPC: A01G25/14
Filed: 2012-03-30
Abstract: Watering can (10) has side wall (22) of deformable non-rigid plastics material forming a self-supporting structure when it holds water or other liquid but, when empty, can be folded up by a twisting action whereby lid (16) is rotated relative to base (14) until it is substantially collapsed and presents a greatly reduced size. Thus watering can (10) has a structure which has two forms, one being fully erected and available for use as a watering can, and another being in a collapsed state in which it occupies considerably less volume and so is convenient for storage and transport.

Title: Cryostat and method for reducing heat input into a cryostat
Inventor: RETZ PATRICK WILLIAM
IPC: F25D3/10
Filed: 2014-03-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a cryostat (3 Fig 1), in particular for use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. Furthermore, this invention relates to a method for reducing heat input into the cryostat. In order to provide a simple and reliable technique to reduce heat input into the cryostat during transportation, an insert 14, (28 Fig 3) is provided. The insert can be inserted into an opening 5, (27 Fig 3) of the cryostat, and the insert provides one or more passageways 23 for a cryogen 7 through the opening by defining at least one space 18 between the outer surface 19 of the insert and at least one part of the inner surface 21 of the opening. The space 18 allows the cryogen to pass over a part of the inner surface of the opening and in doing so provides cooling and thus reduces heat input into the cryostat during transportation.

IPC: G10L25/69
Filed: 2013-07-01
Abstract: [Problem] To provide a speech processing system whereby the accuracy of speech recognition can be increased, and which is easy for a user to use. [Solution] When uttered speech is received, a speech processing system performs speech recognition and displays a text (158) of the recognition result. The speech processing system furthermore translates the recognition result into text (176) of another language in accordance with a setting and displays the translated result, and generates synthesized speech. The speech processing system furthermore selects an utterance candidate for which the probability of being uttered as the next utterance is high and for which a translation and speech recognition score is high using the output of various sensors at the time of utterance, an already learned utterance combination model, and a translation and speech recognition score for utterance candidates, and recommends utterance candidates as an utterance candidate recommendation list (192). A user can think of what to say next using the utterances in the utterance candidate recommendation list (192) as hints.
