Title: System, controller, method, and program for executing simulation jobs
Inventor: JIM ENRIGHT
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2016-07-08
Abstract: A system for executing simulation jobs comprises a job scheduler 12 which receives a job request from a user, the job request specifying user-defined resource settings for the simulation task. The job scheduler instructs the computing hardware 20 to carry out the requested job. A performance monitor 14 monitors execution of the simulation job and generates performance statistics representing the monitored execution. The performance values are stored together with a characterisation of the job and the resource settings for the job. An alert generator 18 identifies previously executed simulation jobs that are similar to the received simulation job, and identifies from among them a first job which has the same characterisation as a second job, the two jobs having different user-defined resource settings. The alert generator then informs the user of the resource settings of the job which had the superior performance value.

Title: Ultrasonic welding of fibre reinforced thermosetting resin sections
Inventor: MARCO ARCIDIACONO
IPC: B29C70/38
Filed: 2017-06-07
Abstract: A process for forming a permanent join between two sections of fibrous material contained in a thermosetting resin matrix, comprising overlaying the two sections and subjecting the overlaid sections to ultrasonic welding to form a permanent join between the two sections, wherein there is no significant change in the sub-ambient Tg of the fibrous material contained in the thermosetting resin matrix in the region of the permanent join. Preferably, the thickness of the permanent joint is from 50% to 150% of the average thickness of each of the two overlaid sections before they are overlaid. The ultrasonic welding may be carried out by contacting the overlaid sections with a sonotrode while they are supported by an anvil; the anvil may be a flat plate, a drum or a roller. The sonotrode preferably has a contact surface which covers the entire area of overlap. The process may be used to join the ends of tape which are to be fed to an automatic tape lay up process. The thermosetting resin may comprise an epoxy resin. The invention also relates to sections of fibrous material contained in a thermosetting resin matrix permanently joined together by a process according to the present invention.

Title: Child safety seat
Inventor: CLYDE V HARMES
IPC: B60N2/28
Filed: 2018-03-15
Abstract: A child safety seat includes a support base 102 having a stop 192, a sliding carriage 104 slidable relative to the support base between retracted and extended positions, a child seat (108, figure 1) disposed on a rotary platform 106, wherein the rotary platform has a follower part 194. The child seat and the rotary platform 106 are rotatable together relative to the sliding carriage and the support base between forward facing and rearward facing positions. While the sliding carriage is not in a retracted position, rotational movement of the child seat and rotary platform is limited by a contact between the follower part 194 and the stop 192 that keeps the child seat and the rotary platform apart from the forward facing position. The stop is located outside a travel path of the follower part when the sliding carriage is in the retracted position for permitting rotation of the rotary platform to the forward facing position (figure 8). Preferably the child seat (108, figure 1) can slide relative to the rotary 106 platform for recline adjustment in forward or backward facing orientations independently from the sliding adjustment of the sliding carriage 104.
