Abstract: A twin-rotor side-by-side compound rotorcraft has a fuselage and variable incident wing assembly that pivots rela-tive to fuselage. The aircraft also has landing gear assembly and a tail fin assembly. The variable incident wing assembly is piv-otally attached to the fuselage, and includes wing members, engines fixedly mounted to the wing members or another area of the rotorcraft, and a mast attached at a fixed angle relative to the wing members.  Then engines may also be located near the fuselage or another area of the rotorcraft. The variable incident wing assembly is capable of pivoting about a pivot axis, thereby allowing mast orientation in at least a hover mast position and a forward flight mast position. The rotors provide additional forward thrust and the wings provide additional lift, when the mast is in the forward flight mast position.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a fluid carrying conduit by introducing an acoustic pulse into the conduit, and interrogating an optic fibre positioned along the path of said conduit to provide distributed acoustic sensing. By measuring the response at each of a plurality of locations, a conduit condition profile can be derived.  A condition profile can be obtained quickly and easily with minimum disruption to the pipeline infrastructure and contained flow.  Existing optic fibres running along the path of a pipe can be employed for sensing purposes, allowing relatively long spans of pipeline to be monitored with only limited access to the pipe.

Abstract: Network protection between endpoints includes both end-to-end and local section protection. A primary path between the endpoints includes a plurality of links, and is protected on an end-to-end basis by a protection path associated with different links. At least one sections of the primary path is also protected on a local basis, where a "section" is a link, ring, trunk or other portion of a network. One or more sections of the protection path may also be protected on a local basis. In response to detection of a fault condition, section protection is utilized to overcome the fault if possible, and otherwise end-to-end protection is utilized. Invoking section protection does not imply a switchover from the primary end-to-end path to the protection end-to-end path. Rather, the primary end-to-end path is rerouted in the affected section.

Title: A control system for a portable instant hot water heater
Inventor: LONG NORRIS RICHARD
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: A portable instant water heater. Water is delivered to a base unit of the instant hot water heater by a pump that draws water from a reservoir through a flow control valve.  The water flows into a pre-heater that wraps around a base of the burner and that is heated by the burner. Water is heated in a heat exchanger and then exits the base unit through an outlet spout that swings out from the base unit to dispense water and that may be stored and locked into position in a handle for the base unit. The flow control valve may lower the flow of water through the heat exchanger, so the water has more time to absorb heat and to get hotter. The base unit includes a single control knob that turns on the pump and the burner and operates the flow control valve.

Title: Method for conditioning and processing whole or thin stillage to aid in the separation and recovery of protein and oil fractions
Inventor: COLLINS JOHN H
IPC: A23K10/38
Filed: 2011-10-18
Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for reducing the energy needed to process stillage in an ethanol refining operation. The method involves adding to stillage an effective amount of at least one processing aid. The flocculant induces the separation of insoluble material that would otherwise remain suspended in water but which impose a high shear energy cost on the refining processes. This allows for the removal of insoluble material that would otherwise be overlooked but which increase energy costs. This allows for more efficient and effective separation and recovery of insoluble fractions of the concentrated thin stillage that would otherwise be overlooked and lost in the process. Loss of these valued fractions as a result of traditional processing techniques and those requiring extensive additional energy input results in the loss of high value co-products to low revenue process streams. This allows stillage to be processed more rapidly with a lower energy cost and improved co-product recovery economics.

IPC: C12N5/0789
Filed: 2009-06-19
Abstract: Human umbilical cord blood (UCB) contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have higher multipotentiality than adult marrow-derived MSCs. However, it has been difficult to obtain these cells because the frequency of MSCs in UCB is extremely rare (0.4 - 30 out of 1 X 10 8 mononuclear cells). To date, the isolation of MSCs has depended upon their plastic-adhesion capacity. Some "true" MSCs could be missed because their ability to adhere to plastic may be poor. Previous studies demon-strated extracellular matrix (ECM) made by bone marrow cells enhanced MSC  attachment and proliferation, and retained their stem cell properties. The present invention provides methods for isolating MSCs from umbilical cord blood by adherence to an ECM and uses for the isolated stem cells.

IPC: F03D9/00
Filed: 2010-06-25
Abstract: A variable speed wind tur-bine is arranged to provide additional electrical power to counteract non-peri-odic disturbances in an electrical grid. A  controller monitors events indicating a need to increase the electrical output power from the wind turbine to the elec-trical grid. The controller is arranged to control the wind turbine as follows: after an indicating event has been detected, the wind turbine enters an overproduction period in which the electrical output pow-er is increased, wherein the additional electrical output power is taken from ki-netic energy stored in the rotor and with-out changing the operation of the wind turbine to a more efficient working point.  When the rotational speed of the rotor reaches a minimum value, the wind tur-bine enters a recovery period to re-accel-erate the rotor to the nominal rotational speed while further contributing to the stability of the electrical grid by out-putting at least a predetermined minimum electrical power.
