Patent GB-2307029-A (GB)
Title: Improved two-stage pressure regulator
Inventor: CARTER STEPHEN A
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1995-08-30
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved two-stage pressure regulator for various compressed gases, and more particularly to pressure regulators used for gaseous fuels such as compressed or liquified natural gas. The pressure regulator of the present invention is a robust, compact, high flow, low droop, low pressure drop and low creep regulator which is suitable for both OEM and aftermarket use. It can be used by itself, or with a optional third stage to provide a three-stage regulator such as the atmospheric (or zero pressure differential) types commonly used to regulate the fuel pressure for gaseous carburation systems. It is particularly useful in mono-, bi, and dual fuel engine applications. The two-stage regulator of the present invention consists of a single base (the "regulator base") upon which are mounted all of the components of the regulator, including the first and second stage regulator spring towers, a pressure relief valve (or PRV) spring tower, a filter assembly, a high pressure solenoid-activated valve, and an optional cylinder pressure sender. Channels provided in the base, for example by machining, permit the flow of coolant or other fluid through the base to control the temperature of the pressure regulator, and thus the outlet temperature of the gas flowing through it.
Patent GB-2325980-A (GB)
Title: Measurement using cross-correlation
Inventor: KEECH RAYMOND PAUL
IPC: G01F1/712
Filed: 1997-06-06
Abstract: Signals A1-D2 to be cross-correlated, particularly signals derived from electrostatic sensors A-D monitoring fluid flow velocities in a power station, are processed (e.g. by delays 6) and combined (e.g. by adders 7, 8) prior to cross-correlating 9 to enable more than one flow velocity to be determined from the results of a single cross-correlation measurement. This can lead to a reduction in the number of cross-correlators required for a large installation, or a reduction in the amount of processing time required to perform the individual cross-correlation measurements. Also disclosed is a method of improving the accuracy of cross-correlation by combining multiple measurements prior to cross-correlation.

Title: Deformable airbag module
Inventor: BROWN JULIAN
IPC: B60R21/045
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: An airbag module 20 includes a top wall 21, a bottom wall 22, two side walls 28, 29 and a rear wall 23, wherein each side wall is made up of two interconnected parts 28U, 29U, 28L, 29L which can slide past one another to allow the bottom wall to move towards the top wall on application of an impact force, but which resist relative motion in the opposite direction. The one way connection may be in the form of cooperating hook members 31, 32, 36, 37 integral with the side walls, formed by bending a free end of each side wall. The bottom wall may have a stiffening rib 27 at its front edge and means such as weakened portion 35 to allow it to pivot or bend towards the top wall.

Title: Apparatus for measuring the water content with microwaves
Inventor: REED NICHOLAS ADRIAN
IPC: G01N22/04
Filed: 1997-07-04
Abstract: A method of determining the quantity of unbound water in a substrate is (10) disclosed, comprising directing (14) a beam of incident microwave radiation (16) of a wavelength absorbable by the unbound water; measuring (18) the microwave radiation transmitted through the substrate, and determining the quantity of water present from the intensity difference between the incident radiation and the transmitted radiation. This detection method allows such processes as hydration reactions, dehydration reactions, freezing and drying to be monitored as to their progress. A suitable frequency of incident microwave energy used is 3 GHz or greater, preferably in the range of 3 to 30 GHz, more preferably in the range 9 to 13 GHz, yet still more preferably within the range 10 to 12 GHz. A particularly preferred range is between 10 and 11 GHz. The application also describes compensation for dissipation, absorption etc. by superimposing a low frequency reference signal. The received carrier wave strength can then be compared with the received reference wave strength in order to calculate the carrier wave loss through water absorption. A preferred frequency for the reference signal is not greater than 100 kHz, more preferably between 10 Hz and 10 kHz. A suitable frequency within this range is 1 kHz. A less preferred (but viable) frequency is 81 Hz. The invention also provides apparatus embodying the above methods.

Title: Music notation and display device
Inventor: COLES JANE ELIZABETH
IPC: G09B15/00
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: A three dimensional music notation set comprises a raised stave 10 on a folding board 8 on to which are placed pieces of music notation 16, having horizontal grooves 14 in the back to fit securely on to the raised stave 10 and to prevent inaccurate placement. Grooves are positioned to allow, where appropriate, notation to be placed with note heads in a space or on a line, with stems upwards or downwards. The stave and notation are made to scale twelve times larger than their printed equivalents. The notation stands clearly raised from the stave and wherever two lines cross, one line is raised above the other for clarity. A storage system stores notation backwards in shape indentations which when reversed are seen as raised forms in the back of trays which can be used for wall charts. By labelling these forms with braille lettering a key can be used for recognition purposes.

Title: Apparatus and method for electrostatic endothelial cell seeding and dna transfection
Inventor: BOWLIN GARY L
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1996-10-11
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for electrostatic seeding of endothelial cells and the transfection of DNA on the lumen wall of small diameter vascular prostheses has an internal conductor (12) on which the prosthesis is mounted. A filling apparatus (16) supports the internal conductor while the prosthesis is filled with endothelial cells and DNA plasmids. The internal conductor and filled prosthesis are suspended within the bore (19) of an external conductor (11). A drive motor (52) rotates the external conductor along with the internal conductor and prosthesis. A voltage source (18) applies an electrical potential across the external and internal conductors while the conductors are being rotated so as temporarily to alter the surface charge on the lumen wall of the prosthesis. A related method for the seeding of endothelial cells on the lumen wall of a small diameter vascular prosthesis involves the steps of: passing an internal conductor wire through the lumen of the prosthesis; sealing one end of the prosthesis to the conductor wire; filling the prosthesis with a suspension of endothelial cells and DNA plasmid; sealing the other end of the prosthesis, suspending the wire and prosthesis in the bore of an external conductor, and applying an electrical potential across the conductors while the prosthesis is rotated. The voltage source applies different electric potentials sufficient to adhere the endothelial cells and transit the DNA to the lumen wall of the vascular prosthesis.
