Patent GB-2571353-A (GB)
Title: Method
Inventor: GELEIN MAINZA DE KOEIJER
IPC: F01N3/08
Filed: 2018-02-27
Abstract: A method of generating electricity and/or shaft power and capturing CO2, using a reciprocating engine comprises recycling a first portion 6 of exhaust gas into the reciprocating engine, oxidising a second fuel in the presence of a second portion 5 of the exhaust gas to produce a CO2-rich exhaust gas 7, cooling the CO2-rich exhaust gas and capturing CO2 contained in the CO2-rich exhaust gas 8 in a CO2 capture unit. The system may provide power for offshore operations. The high concentration of carbon dioxide in the CO2 rich exhaust gas achieved in this invention allows the use of a compact CO2 capture unit, e.g. with a height of 10 to 40 metres.

Title: Seat rail zip cover
Inventor: EWEN DIRK
IPC: B60N3/04
Filed: 2018-03-05
Abstract: A seat assembly for a vehicle comprising at least one stem (12, figure 1), (112, figure 3), (212, figure 4), (312, figure 5), (412, figure 6B). The stem(s) extends downwardly from the seat with a runner at its distal end. The runner moveably engages a track (14, figure 1) on the vehicle floor permitting motion of the seat. A web covering, e.g. carpet 20 has a longitudinal opening in register with the track, allowing the runner to move along the track. The opening has a zip fastener 30 comprising a pair of mutually-opposing teeth 32A, 32B and first and second sliders 40A, 40B mounted on the zip teeth in opposite directions. Simultaneous movement of the sliders along the teeth causes one slider to open the teeth and the other to close the teeth, wherein the sliders are connected to opposing sides of the stem(s) and the teeth are in a closed condition at all points along the zip fastener other than between the two sliders. The carpet slit may be closable by the zip fastener at all points save for where the stem(s) are positioned (figure 4), e.g. with an invisible zip fastener, akin to a dress zip fastener.

Patent GB-2586020-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN DISNEY MALLET
IPC: G01R33/385
Filed: 2019-07-29
Abstract: The tendency of a thermal radiation shield for a superconducting magnet of a magnetic resonance imaging system to vibrate is reduced by locally increasing the mass per unit area or the stiffness of the material of the thermal shield in a random or pseudo-random pattern. The mass may be locally increased by applying a weld bead or pool 16 randomly around the outside of the bore tube 14 of the heat shield using a MIG welder 10 on a robot arm 12. The welder is moved axially 13 while the shield is rotated 15. The stiffness may be locally varied by shaping the shield with dimples or indentations, or by thermal annealing. Alternatively, other methods may be used such as drilling, grinding, machining, milling, brazing or gluing to add or remove material. The random pattern reduces the symmetry of the shield and the tendency for mechanical resonance frequencies to occur, which may cause unwanted heating. The resonant frequencies may be shifted away from frequencies induced by gradient coupling effects by a predetermined amount.
