Title: A container including a pivotable door
Inventor: APPS WILLIAM P
IPC: B65D19/18
Filed: 2006-05-16
Abstract: A container 10 includes a base with an upstanding wall (14 fig. 7) and a door (24 fig. 7) connected to the wall by means of a hinge assembly including first and second hinge pins 78, 88 pivotable relative to one another about a third axis c, which is offset from the first and second hinge pins. The door may be vertically displaced from the wall to allow rotation about the hinge assembly. The container may be collapsible with a pallet base (12 fig 9) with walls (14 fig 10b) hinged to it. The base may consist of a floor with a plurality of supports 18 each including a plurality of columns 20 integrally moulded with a runner 22 connecting the columns. The runners on the supports may be spaced below the floor to define fork receiving openings. The hinges may be aligned with the columns of the supports. The supports may be interchangeable and snap fitted to the floor. Also disclosed is a container with moveable walls. The walls are hinged to the base by hinge that has two parallel axis offset from each other. When a wall is upright the hinge is locked to stop rotation about the second axis and unlocked when the wall is not upright. The hinge may rotate about both axis when the wall is not upright. The hinge may be connected to the walls by the first axis and to the base by the second axis.

Title: System and method for monitoring a well by means of an optical fiber
Inventor: CHILDERS BROOKS A
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2006-09-06
Abstract: An optical fiber (24) extends down hole from an OFDR (40). A first set of sensors (28) with a centrally-located reference reflector 830) is disposed over a first fiber length, and a second set of sensors (128) with a centrally-located reference reflector (130) is disposed over a second fiber length. The sensors of the first and second sensing lengths are positioned at slightly offset positions from the reference reflectors so as to interleave the reflected signals. Additional sensing lengths may be similarly interleaved. The system is used by sending an optical signal along the optical fiber, detecting a reflected optical signal, separating the optical signal into component signals, and extrapolating a well condition therefrom. Another method includes creating a low frequency signal' component in a reflected optical signal by placing at least one sensor beyond a Nyquist sampling distance limit, detecting the low frequency signal component and extrapolating a well condition therefrom.

Title: Reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine with groove and follower instead of crank mechanism
Inventor: LYTTON DANIEL
IPC: F01B3/04
Filed: 2009-04-06
Abstract: An internal combustion engine 1 comprises a piston, eg a double-ended piston 5 or a pair of separate pistons (55, figs. 3-5), mounted for reciprocation within a cylinder 3, a space between each end of the piston 5 and the cylinder 3 comprising a combustion chamber.

Title: Gear-wheel pump or motor of adjustable capacity or moving power
IPC: F04C14/10
Filed: 1922-04-07
Abstract: 178,123. M÷hl, S. April 9, 1921, [Convention date]. Hydraulic transmission of power.-In rotary pumps of the type comprising intermeshing gearwheels 3, 4 immersed in the liquid to be pumped, the capacity is varied by adjusting the position of the delivery pipe 7 relative to the centre-line of the pump, the pipe 7 having its inlet orifice just above the engaging teeth, while a plate 6 seals the lower side of the teeth. The delivery pipe 7 may be pivoted and adjusted by worm-gear 14, 15, and a similar pipe may be substituted for the plate 6. For the same purpose, the distance between the gear-wheel shafts may be adjusted, this device being used in combination with the adjustable delivery pipe. Fig. 6 shows a modification wherein one of the gear-wheels 33 is internally toothed, the other 34 being mounted. on an eccentric 35 which can be moved round the shaft 2 to vary the relative position of the delivery orifice 37. Bevel gear-wheels 43, 44, Fig. 7, may be used with a delivery pipe 47, one of the shafts 45 being adjustable along a conical surface. The invention is applicable also to rotary motors. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states also that by locating the delivery orifice so that the centre-line of the pump bisects it, the teeth produce an alternating pressure and suction action in the delivery pipe, which can be used as a pulsation power transmitter for driving drills and other tools. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to restraining devices for the pivoted trucks of a locomotive or car
IPC: B61F3/04
Filed: 1929-03-28
Abstract: 308,827. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Kjolseth, O. K.). March 31, 1928, [Convention date]. Axle-trucks and bogies.-In a pivoted bogie adapted to move laterally of the frame of a vehicle means is provided which include a plurality of leaf springs connected together at the ends thereof and rockers for flexing the springs for resiliently centring the truck with respect to the frame and for resiliently resisting turning of the bogie from a position in longitudinal alignment with the frame. The centre pivot 11, Fig. 2, is fixed to the frame 10 and projects into a slide 16 movable laterally in guides 18 fixed on the cross beam 15 of the bogie frame. The slide 16 is centralized by rockers 23 which are pressed into engagement with the slide by leaf springs 19 each of which is seated at the end 25 of a rod 27 pivoted at 26 to the bogie frame. As the slide 16 moves transversely in its guide each rocker 23 is tilted and compresses its spring 19 which thus exerts a restoring force to centralize the slide. Rotational movement of the bogie about the central pivot is restrained by springs 20 which press on rockers 28 seated in sockets 29 on the bogie frame. A seat 30 is interposed between. each spring and rocker and the rod 31 attached to the seat is pivoted at 32 to a bracket 33, Fig. 2, attached to the frame 10 of the vehicle. When the bogie rotates one end of the rocker 28 leaves its seat 29 and the spring 20 is compressed, thus exerting a restraining force on the bogie. The springs 29, 20 are connected at their ends by links 21 which can be adjusted by bolts 34 to vary the initial compression of the springs.
