Title: An improved system for conveying particulate material
Inventor: KEVIN WALKER
IPC: B65G53/66
Filed: 2019-03-05
Abstract: A system (20, Fig 2), possibly housed within a vehicle (V), and associated method, for conveying particulate material (22) e.g. animal feed, comprises: a conduit (27), a pump (28) arranged to pump air through conduit (27) to carry particulate material (22) along conduit (27), a rotary feeder 26 to feed particulate material (22) from a store / bin (21) into conduit (27). A venting apparatus to vent air that has passed out of conduit (27) via the rotary feeder 26, comprising manifold 29 arranged between feeder hopper (25) and inlet (26A) of rotary feeder 26. Manifold 29 defines an aperture 31 defining a channel through which particulate material (22) reaches inlet (26A) of feeder 26 from hopper 25. One or more inlets 29B to venting apparatus lie or extend around all sides 29A of the channel to improve venting of air that passed out through rotary feeder 26. Channel 31 provides a pathway for air from inlet 29B to outlet 29C of manifold 29 that communicates with inlet (30A) of vent pipe (30). Guide elements 33A, 33B are also shown.

Title: Counter balance sitting device
Inventor: MARC N FOSTER
IPC: A61F5/02
Filed: 2019-03-20
Abstract: The device comprises a strip of fabric 1 and a buckle 2. The buckle may be self-locking and the device in use forms an adjustable loop of fabric which extends around the user’s back and knees. The buckle may comprise two identical halves with slots 7 through which the fabric passes. The two halves may be separated by a pivot 4. The buckle may be formed of plywood and the fabric strip may be formed of hessian.

Title: Face mask
Inventor: STEWART MADDISON FOX
IPC: A41D13/11
Filed: 2020-06-05
Abstract: A face mask 1 comprising a filter material 3 and a plurality of windows 2 in a mouth region of the mask. The windows might be any combination of adjacent to the filter, bordered on edges thereof, or surrounded thereby. The mask may be formed of a layer of filter and a layer of transparent material, each containing a plurality of apertures, where the apertures of the two materials do not overlap. The windows might be in the form of strips, rectangles, hexagons, ovals and/or circles. The ratio between the area of windows and the area of filter material may vary across the mask, in particular to have a higher proportion of windows around the mouth area; this might be achieved by changing the size or density of the windows across the mask. Such a mask allows lipreading but avoids the large impermeable area of a single mask window as seen in the prior art. Also claimed is a laminate which would form the body of such a mask.

Title: A brake system
Inventor: RICHARD FORD
IPC: B60L7/26
Filed: 2021-10-28
Abstract: A brake system for a vehicle having an electric motor to provide regenerative braking, and a friction braking device. The brake system includes a controller which, in response to receiving a torque demand, generates a first control signal 640 for applying a regenerative braking torque value by the motor to a vehicle wheel, and a second control signal 660 for applying a friction braking torque value to the wheel. The controller determines an estimated applied friction braking torque 630, and modulates the regenerative braking torque value based on the difference between the friction braking torque value and the estimated friction braking torque, e.g. using regenerative braking to compensate for variation between demanded and actual applied friction braking due to friction braking having slower brake response time. The controller may vary a torque margin 620 relative to the regenerative torque limit 610 and may include a filter 650 for the friction braking torque value (e.g. for smoothing). The controller may operate in a first “normal” mode and a second anti-lock braking (ABS) mode. The regenerative braking may be modulated to maintain the wheel speed above a minimum wheel velocity based on a first slip ratio value and the vehicle velocity.

Title: Chain conveyor link
Inventor: Aaron Philip Walker
IPC: E21F13/06
Filed: 2018-03-06
Abstract: A linkage 70 for moving material from a first end of a conveyor toward a second end of the conveyor includes a first link and a second link. The first link 74 includes a first side edge and a first indicator 142. The second link 82 includes a second side edge and a second indicator 210. The second link is coupled to the first link such that the first side edge of the first link overlaps with the second side edge of the second link. Elongation of the first link in the direction of movement causes the first indicator to move relative to the second indicator, and a position of the first indicator relative to the second indicator provides an indication of a wear condition of the first link. In some aspects, a first surface and/or a second surface of one of the links includes a wear indicator 162 representing a surface wear condition. The first and second indicators 142 can be notches formed into the first and second side edges of the first and second links respectively.
