Title: Vehicle suspension systems
Inventor: GUEST PHILIP
IPC: B60W10/22
Filed: 2014-07-08
Abstract: A ride-height adjustment system 100 for a motor vehicle 10 is provided. The ride-height adjustment system 100 comprises the suspension system of the motor vehicle. The system has a first means 28, 30, 32, to detect a preliminary end-of-journey (EOJ) event, such as seat belt unbuckling 32 or ignition switch-off 28. A controller 22 adjusts the suspension system in a first movement in response to detection of said preliminary EOJ event, to change the ride height of the vehicle towards an access ride height of the vehicle. The access ride height is a predetermined ride height that facilitates exit from and entrance to the vehicle. Second means 30 detect opening of a door of the vehicle. When the ride height of the vehicle remains different from the access ride height after said first movement, the controller is adapted to further adjust the suspension system in a second movement in response to said door-opening detection. This further changes the ride height of the vehicle towards said access ride height of the vehicle.

Title: Circuit Breaker
Inventor: MADERA MICHAL
IPC: H02H3/06
Filed: 2015-04-30
Abstract: A circuit breaker comprises an arcing chamber 706 containing a liquid 710 and two electrical contacts 702; a contact actuator 716; and means 712 for injecting gas into the liquid to form a supercavitation bubble around each of the contacts . When actuator 716 forces the contacts to separate and move through the liquid an arc 728 forms between them and is extinguished. A magnetic field from a DC or AC electromagnet 722 may force the arc to move through the liquid, towards an arc chute 718 having conducting plates 720 to split the arc or ceramic plates to stretch the arc, and may be switched off after the arc is extinguished. The gas can be injected continuously or while the contacts separate and along the path of the contacts. The super-cavitation bubble may completely surround each contact and reduce the drag coefficient, including friction, of the liquid. The breaker may be used for a high voltage DC (HVDC) or AC circuit and have sensors to test the circuit after the contacts are opened for persistent conditions, to prevent re-closure. The liquid may be an organofluorine such as fluorocarbon and the gas may be air, steam, a fluoromethane or an inert gas.

Title: Processing method of radiation-tainted water and sealing processing method of nuclear plant
Inventor: NOBUYOSHI MORIMOTO
IPC: G21F9/04
Filed: 2015-05-12
Abstract: A method for removing and transporting to a remote location, water in a nuclear power plant that, during an accident, has been contaminated with radioactivity. For example, the water could be in and around the primary containment vessel 10. The method involves oil-industry drilling methods such as riser drilling from an offshore ship that creates a pipe 4 through which the water can be removed and transported to a storage ship (30). Drilling takes place under the sea bed 6 towards the land 2 and up into the contaminated area, e.g., 10. Inert gas can also be pumped in to create a higher pressure to assist the water removal. A blow-out preventer 5 can also be installed for extra safety if the containment vessel 10 needs to be penetrated. Finally, a cement-lead mixture can be pumped into the plant where it solidifies and seals it to prevent residual radiation leakage.
