Title: Bicycle transmission drivable by pedal or assist motor
Inventor: MEDIWAKE ANDREW
IPC: B62M6/55
Filed: 2006-07-20
Abstract: To convert a current conventional bicycle in to a motor and pedal bicycle without having to modify the frame by changing the pedal spindle of a conventional bicycle to the invented spindle mechanism to allow it to use whatever the greater or equal torque pedaling or motor into the gear system of the conventional bicycle. The transmission comprises a sprocket F drivable by the motor. When sprocket F rotates faster than a pedaling input, sprocket F drives a middle hollow spindle (D see fig 3), via a one way bearing G. This causes rotation of chain rings E. Pedaling causes rotation of an extended central spindle (A see fig 1). This is mounted via bearings (B see fig 1) into a standard bottom bracket. When the spindle (A) rotates faster than the sprocket F, it drives the middle hollow spindle (D), via one or more one way bearings (C see fig 2). Grooves prevent slippage of the bearings (C, G) relative to other rotating pads (D, F).

Title: Inflow control device with passive shut-off feature
Inventor: CORONADO MARTIN P
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2006-08-30
Abstract: Controlling flow of formation fluids with respect to one or more selected parameter relating to the wellbore fluid. In one embodiment, a flow control device for controlling fluid flow into the production tubular uses a flow restriction member that is actuated by a character change of the formation fluid, such as a change of phase like liquid to gas or oil to water. The flow restriction member can be sensitive to a change in density of the formation fluid. The flow restriction member is passive, self-regulating and does not need any power source or control signal to control fluid flow. In one embodiment, the flow control device automatically rotates into a predetermined orientation upon being positioned in the wellbore. A seal disposed on the flow control devices expands into sealing engagement with an enclosure after the flow control device assumed the desired predetermined position.

Title: Protection of reinforcing steel
Inventor: GLASS GARETH
IPC: C23F13/06
Filed: 2004-07-06
Abstract: A method of connecting discrete sacrificial anodes to steel, in situations where steel bars are exposed, is described. The method of protecting steel in concrete comprises: placing a porous spacer 11 between an anode 12 and exposed steel 13. The anode 12 is then tied to the exposed steel with a flexible conductive tie 16. The anode 12 and the exposed steel 13 are then cast in a concrete or cementitious mortar. The anode 12 comprises a base metal less noble than steel and the porous spacer 11 has a higher resistivity than the concrete or cementitious mortar; to reduce the current flowing directly to the nearest steel. It is preferable that a conductor 17 with a fixing point 15, such as: a loop, hook, eye, hole or opening is connected to the base metal 19. It can be tied to the steel by passing an electronically conductive tie 16 through the fixing point and around the steel reinforcement so that the tie physically and electronically connects the assembly to the steel reinforcement.

Title: Diagnosing an operation mode of a machine
Inventor: FAHIMI FARSHAD
IPC: G01R31/34
Filed: 2009-12-15
Abstract: An operating mode of a machine is diagnosed by collecting operating measurements 50, extracting features 52 from the measurements and arranging the features in sets, each set 54 characterising operation of the machine in a particular known mode. Further measurements are collected and further features extracted and compared with the previously extracted features to calculate a probability that the machine is in a known mode. The probabilities are combined 58 to calculate a confidence level for each known operating mode that is used to identify the operating mode of the machine. The features can be extracted from measurements using a sliding window technique, and measurements can be made in time, frequency and wavelet domains. Features can be clustered together by mode and feature type. Probabilities can be weighted before combining to generate confidence levels and after identifying similar confidence levels, the weighting set according to an F-score. The machine can be an electric motor, the measurements can be voltage and current, the features can include mean, median, mode and standard deviations and the known modes can include normal operation, overload, and phase disconnection.
