Title: Colour tunable lighting module
Inventor: ZOOROB MAJD
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2009-04-24
Abstract: A colour tunable lighting module comprising three Light Emitting Devices (LEDs) 303, 311 e.g. semiconductor light emitting diodes) emitting light with wavelengths λ1, λ2and λ3. Some light with wavelengths λ1, λ2is incident on two Wavelength Converting Elements (WCEs) 304, 305 e.g. phosphors which emit light 306, 307 with longer wavelengths λc1, λc2wherein λ1< λc1, λ2< λc2and λc1≤ λc2. Third emitter 311 with wavelength λ3emits light 308 between the wavelengths from emitters 303 and WCEs 304, 305 (i.e. λ1,λ2<λ3<λc1,λc2) wherein 485nm ≤λ3≤595nm. The colour chromaticity of light emitted by LEDs 303, 311 and WCEs 304, 305 resides in a 1960 CIE Uniform Colour Space bounded by isotherms at Correlated Colour Temperatures (CCTs) between T1K e.g. 5700K and 200000K (206, fig. 2b) and between 1000K and T2K e.g. 3250K (207, fig. 2b). The module may emit tunable white light 310 within a CCT of 3000-6500K and within a 4 step Macadam ellipse wherein the Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of light is greater than or equal to 90. The module may include a fourth LED (401, fig. 4a) emitting light (402, fig. 4a) of wavelength λ4wherein 405nm ≤λ4≤475nm. A control system may monitor and control the module using calibration parameters (e.g. CIE coordinates or light intensity against current or temperature) registered on a memory module (513, fig. 5b).

Title: Safety device for rotating projectiles
IPC: F42C15/22
Filed: 1952-04-22
Abstract: 704,302. Projectile fuzes. ARAGONE, C. April 22, 1952 [April 28, 1951], No. 10153/52. Class 9(1) Percussion fuze for a rotatable projectile is provided with a safety device preventing movement of the anvil towards the striker and comprising a split ring of corrugated form in transverse section retained in a cylindrical cavity around the striker, the ring being deformable by centrifugal force to release the anvil. The fuze body 1 is provided with a cavity 2 accommodating the anvil 3 in which a percussion cap 5 is held by a disc 4. An aperture 6 in the disc is aligned with the striker 13 and an opening 7 leading to a flash passage 8 in the fuze body. The fuze-head 10 screwed on to the body 1 has a cylindrical cavity 11 aligned with the cavity 2 and containing a split ring 13 surrounding the striker and of less diameter than the anvil 3 but of greater length than the part of the striker projecting into the cavity. On discharge of the projectile the ring 13 presses against the cavity wall and is constrained by friction to follow the rotation of the projectile. As the acceleration decreases, the pressure lessens until the ring is free to expand and finally it lies against the wall of the cavity, thus freeing the path of the anvil 3 so that on impact the anvil moves towards the striker. Specification 704,303 is referred to.

Abstract: 1442258 Cleaning vehicle wheels WILLIAM MOSELEY (ENGS) Ltd 20 Feb 1975 [7 March 1974] 10173/74 Heading B7J Apparatus for the in situ washing of the wheels W of road vehicles comprises a pair of parallel rollers 12, 11 arranged to support between them the wheels W of one axle of a vehicle in peripheral driving engagement with at least one 11 of the rollers; releasable braking means 18 for inhibiting the rotation of the roller 11; power drive means, e.g. electric motor 39 coupled to the axle 16 of the roller 11 via a centrifugal coupling 40, reduction gear 38, disc coupling 37 and a free wheel mechanism 36 so that, when the braking means 18 are released the roller 11 can be driven either by the vehicle drive wheels or by the power drive 39; and a pump 20 driven by the roller axle 16, pulley wheel 19 and a belt 26 for delivering liquid under pressure to a spray pipe 35 adapted to spray jets of liquid on to the wheels W. The other roller 12 of the pair is freely rotatable and the pair of rollers 11, 12 and another pair of freely rotatable rollers 13, 14 are mounted in a frame 10 over a pit. A further pump 20 is driven from the axle 17 of the roller 13 which is provided with brake means 18 and is connected to a spray pipe 35 between the rollers 13, 14. The hydraulically operable disc brakes 18 are controlled by a hand lever 51 also connected to a stop valve 52 in a water supply pipe 28 which is connected to the inlets of the pumps 20 by conduits 27 and to the inlet of the pump 43 by a conduit 44. The outlet of the pump 43 is connected to one end of the associated spray pipe 35 by a conduit 45 and non-return valve 50. Another non-return valve is provided between the other end of the spray pipe 35 and a conduit 30 connected to the outlet of the associated pump 20. In use the rollers 11, 13 are braked and a vehicle driven on to the apparatus to position the front wheels between the rollers 11, 12 and the brakes 18 are then released. The vehicle driver operates a pedant switch to start the motor 39 whereafter the front wheels are rotated and liquid is supplied to the relevant spray pipe 35 via the pump 43. A time switch can be provided to switch off the motor 39. The brakes 18 are operated again until the vehicle rear driving wheels are positioned between the rollers 11, 12. After releasing the brakes 18 the rollers 11, 12 are driven by the vehicle engine but drive is not transmitted to the reduction gear because of the free wheel mechanism and the pump 20 supplies the spray pipe 35 with liquid. When the vehicle has four driving wheels W the rear pair impart drive to the free rollers 13, 14. The free wheel 36 may be replaced by a magnetic clutch operable when the motor 39 is started. A second power drive means with pump may be connected to one of the rollers 13, 14.

The rollers 41 support the tube blocks on flanges 39 on the sides of the tube block casings 15 which casings also have collar-like flanges 43 retained in abutment with the margins of the bulkhead openings 12 by studs 46 and nuts 47. Individual tube blocks are removed for inspection or replacement by removing the end plate 52 on the outer casing, unbolting and removing the collector member 21 and sliding out the tube block in an endwise direction, the tube block being supported by the flanges 39 during removal or replacement on a gantry provided with rollers, Fig. 8 (not shown). In the heat- ,exchanger described, hot turbine exhaust gas enters one compartment of the outer casing 10 through openings 13 and circulates through the tube block casings 15 and over the tubes therein to the other compartment of the outer casing from which it is exhausted through the end thereof remote from the bulkhead which is open and may be connected to an exhaust trunk. Air from a compressor enters the heat-exchanger by way of collector 20 and flows in contra-flow to the hot gas, through the tubes 16 to the collector member 21 from which the heated air is discharged through ducts 29 to the combustion chambers of a gas turbine. It is stated that the apparatus may be used for heat exchange between liquids or between a liquid and a gas or as a condenser or evaporator.

A method of securing against loosening of screw nipple joints in carbon or graphite electrodes for electric furnaces comprises forming recesses in the surface of the screw nipple and in the inner surfaces of the threaded sockets in the electrodes, and forcing a self-hardening cementing material under pressure into the open spaces formed by said recesses between the screw nipple and the threaded sockets, whereby rotation of the screw nipple relative to the sockets is prevented. In the embodiment shown cylindrical depressions d are provided in the end faces of a nipple c and in the bottoms of sockets in the electrodes a and b. A selfhardening cementing material such as synthetic resin or waterglass, to which metals or metallic carbides and a gas-emitting agent such as ammonium bi-carbonate may be added, is forced through bores e provided in the electrodes to form a plate f with projections engaging the depressions d. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown), the depressions d are hemispherical and the nipple c is provided with an axial bore so that the cementing material can be forced through the bore e in electrode a while air escapes through the bore e in the electrode b. In a further alternative embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown) longitudinal grooves are formed in the thread of the nipple and in the threads of the sockets, and the depressions d may then be omitted. 'In all embodiments the bores e may be omitted by applying the cementing material to the bottom of the socket in electrode b and to the upper surface of the nipple c and then screwing the parts together.
