Title: Modular load-bearing structural column
Inventor: KINZER DWIGHT ERIC
IPC: B65G69/04
Filed: 2004-01-27
Abstract: A practical method of manufacturing, assembling, and constructing a single silo or building or a cluster of polygonal storage silos using a column comprising horizontally-arrayed structural column panels. A structure built with these columns can be constructed using a cost-effective and relatively safe method of lifting. In addition, three or more of these structural columns can be connected together with wall panels or beams to fashion a polygonal compartment or multiple polygonal compartments, to serve as structural support for heavy loads, as a process tower for supporting equipment, a multi-story building for human occupancy (such as an apartment complex), or as bulk storage silo(s). The column can join standard and customized beams and wall panels. Columns can be attached to wall panels of round structures, to serve as stiffeners, or to the sides of polygonal structures, to serve as side-wall supports.

Title: Device for adjusting the angle of a sighting unit to a target
Inventor: HALE ANTON
IPC: G12B5/00
Filed: 2004-04-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for adjusting the angle of a sighting unit towards a target, in particular for a geodesic-measuring instrument. The inventive device comprises a reference base, at least one bearing for mounting the sighting unit thereon in such a way that it is pivotable with respect to said reference base around an axis, a gear for accurately adjusting an angle of rotation around said axis between the sighting unit and the reference base and a coupling unit for limiting or interrupting a torque flux around the axis. The gear and the coupling unit are in series arranged in the torque flux between the sighting unit and the reference base. The torque flux is carried out around the axis between the sighting unit and the reference base by means of the gear and the coupling unit when it is non-interrupted thereby. Said device is characterised in that the coupling unit is provided with at least one electromagnet for producing a magnetic field and the torque flux can be limited or interrupted according to the interruptibility of the magnetic field.

Title: Sangle de levage et méthode pour l’utiliser
Inventor: STRANG ANDREW
IPC: B65B13/02
Filed: 2005-10-21
Abstract: L’invention décrit une sangle de levage (300 ; 700) servant à lever des produits primaires (lots de lingots d’aluminium, etc., par exemple) comportant une sangle dotée d’une boucle fermée et généralement rectangulaire. La taille maximum prédéfinie de la boucle est suffisante pour lui permettre d’être glissée autour d’une pile de deux lots de lingots (100) superposés, elle comporte en outre un moyen de réduction de périmètre (312 ; 800, 802) servant à réduire la taille de la sangle de levage (300, 700) d’un pourcentage relativement petit, inférieur à 5 % dans la plupart des cas. Le moyen (312; 800, 802) définit aussi deux zones de la sangle qui peuvent jouer le rôle de boucle de levage et être amenées aux crochets de grue pour effectuer le levage du lot. Dans un mode de réalisation, le moyen de réduction de périmètre comporte une longueur de matériau élastique (312) formant une boucle fermée avec le périmètre de la sangle, et permettant à la boucle de s’étendre lorsqu’une tension est appliquée à la longueur élastique. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la sangle de levage intègre deux sections de fixation de crochet et de boucle (800, 802) comme du Velcro adjacent à chaque coin supérieur de la sangle. La sangle (700) est appliquée au lot, les sections en Velcro restant non reliées à un coin ou aux deux. Les sections en Velcro sont alors attachées ensemble pour fixer la sangle et former deux boucles de levage (804) à amener aux crochets d’une grue auxquels elles doivent être fixées.

Title: Afads
Inventor: ECHIMI PETER
IPC: A62C35/62
Filed: 2010-06-29
Abstract: The AFADS design (Airport Foam Aniscopic Deluge System) is an outdoor fire suppression system that has applications to high value sites like airports, oil rigs and other potential terrorist targets. It employs a rotating detector head fitted with a video sensor that screens the surrounding environment for the presence of fire. Optical fibre feedback to a mainframe computer governs the logistics of activation. Upon activation the rotating head stops at the fire location automatically aiming the nozzle turret. A water and foam mixture is sent under pressure to initiate the telescopic rig. The buried telescopic rig breaches the floor level and extends to its design height. The nozzle releases the foam at the desired target. Upon clean up the telescope device is allowed to retract. > z <z zr -> CL uL L"0 C>C O~OZ J~f 6 OOLV~O1D
