Title: Wind turbine blade reinforced with different types of carbon fibres
Inventor: HANCOCK MARK
IPC: F03D1/06
Filed: 2008-07-18
Abstract: A wind turbine blade 10 has at least one component of a fibrous composite material including two or more different types of carbon fibres having a different elastic modulus to each other. The component(s) may be an inner beam 16 and/or outer shell portions 12, 14, fig.2, or upper and lower layers (32, 34, fig.3) each of which is sandwiched between thin layers (36, 38) of glass and epoxy resin. The proportions of the different types of fibres vary in the longitudinal direction of the blade such that the elastic modulus of the fibrous composite material increases towards the tip end. This may be gradual or step-wise; a gradual increase may be achieved by using carbon fibres with a standard Young's modulus at the root end and gradually introducing fibres with a higher modulus towards the tip end. Two or more blade portions may be connected together by a connecting member also having two or more different types of carbon fibres of differing elastic modulus. The blade may contain fibres other than carbon fibres, eg of glass, aramid, acrylic, polyester, PAN, PET, PE, PP, PBO, hemp, jute, mineral or metal.

Title: Improvements in or relating to wheel-alignment apparatus for motor vehicles
Filed: 1956-04-03
Abstract: 815,652. Wheel alignment gauges. MARTEIL, L. R. April 3, 1956 [March 31, 1955], No. 10145/56. Class 106 (2). [Also in Group XX] For checking the angles of camber and caster, the king-pin angles and the parallelism of motor car wheels, a light projector P, Fig. 3, or a mirror 11, Fig. 7, fixed to the wheel is arranged to throw a spot of light on to a sector-shaped scale 6<SP>1</SP> on a scale plate 6 arranged in front or at the side of the vehicle. The mirror 11 reflects light from a projector 3 at the centre of the scale plate 6. The scale plate has two perpendicular support bases whereby the sectorshaped scale may be arranged horizontally as shown in Fig. 3 to measure the king-pin angle, or vertically to measure camber. For measuring the king-pin angle the wheels are raised from the ground, the light projector mounted parallel to the plane of the wheel, the wheel swung to the right and the projector P adjusted to direct the spot of light on to the centre point Q of the scale. The wheel is then swung back to the left and the position of the spot of light on the scale indicates the king-pin angle. For camber the scale plate is tinned on its side, the wheel adjusted so that the spot of light falls on the point Q and the wheel rotated to bring the spot of light on to the graduations. For caster the projector is mounted perpendicular to the plane of the wheel and the scale plate moved to the side of the car. To avoid turning it through 90 degrees the scale plate may have two scales 6<SP>1</SP>, 6<SP>2</SP>, Fig. 7, at right angles. For measuring toe-in two scale plates such as 6, Fig. 7, are mounted on a bar 8 and the light from the projector 3 is reflected by the mirror 11 on the wheel on to an additional scale 10 on the scale plate. For caster the mirror 11 in Fig. 7 is turned to 45 degrees to project the light on to a scale 6 at the side of the car. In another modification for testing parallelism, a mirror is arranged on the scale plate to reflect the light from the projector fixed to the wheel on to a scale similar to the scale 10 carried by the projector. The various scale plates may be mounted on a portable rigid structure.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of aluminium and silicon and other elements from aluminiferous substances such as clay or bauxite
IPC: C01F7/38
Filed: 1923-04-14
Abstract: Aluminous material such as bauxite or clay is reduced by means of metallic aluminium with or without other reducing agents such as iron, silicon, ferrosilicon, silicon carbide, or carbon, the process being either a thermo-aluminic one or a reduction effected by external heat.  The constituents other than alumina are reduced forming a regulus that may be tapped off from the alumina or in some cases the cooled mass may be crushed and treated by a magnetic separation process.  Silicon, iron, titanium, and ferrosilicon are mentioned as reduction products.  The reaction may be effected in any suitable atmosphere, and under suitable pressure or in vacuo, the presence of free nitrogen being in some cases disadvantageous.  A flux such as fluorspar or cryolite may be added if desired.  In an example, the aluminium is placed in an aluminium-electrolysis furnace together with a small quantity of flux such as cryolite and the aluminium and flux are melted.  The charge of ore with the remainder of the flux is then added gradually.  The reduced metals are drawn off, leaving the alumina which is then electrolyzed.  On drawing off the aluminium produced, enough may be left in the furnace to reduce the next batch.  Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 14572/00 and 6132/02.

Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of reproduction in colour photography
IPC: G03C7/04
Filed: 1933-04-06
Abstract: 417,860. Colour photography. HARRISON, G. B., 23, Roden Street, Ilford, Essex. April 6, 1933, No. 10375. [Class 98 (ii).] In a method of taking, projecting, or printing by projection a colour photograph of the multicolour-screen type in which the colour transmission bands of the screen colour elements overlap, and in which the light employed for illuminating the object or the photograph to be projected is produced by analyzing into a spectrum a beam of light containing the screen colours and masking out the overlapping parts, the mask is prepared by interposing in the beam filtering means having the same transmission band as that of two or more screen colours when superimposed, and photographing the resulting spectrum, the operation being repeated if desired for a different set of two or more screen colours. The invention may be applied to photographs in any number of colours, bearing regular or irregular pattern screens. The mask may be produced for example by passing a beam of light G<1>, G<2> containing colours corresponding to those of the screen elements through a dispersing prism 1 and lens 2 to form a pure spectrum at 3, inserting in succession pairs of superimposed filters corresponding to the screen colours in the path of the beam G<1>, G<2>, and exposing a sensitive panchromatic plate to the residual light at 3. This plate when developed and placed in the same position at 3 serves to mask the spectrum areas 7, 8 where the screen colours overlap, and the remaining light may be recombined by a lens 4 and projected upon the film 9 to be projected, or upon the object to be photographed. The invention may be applied in printing by projection from a multicolourscreen transparency on to sensitive multicolour-screen material, or on to sensitive plain material to produce separate monochrome records ; but in the latter case, the method of preparing photographically the masks for the individual printings must be modified by making in each case one or more exposures, according to the number of the different screen elements, inserting in the path of the beam one after another the filters other than that corresponding to the record for which the mask is to be prepared. The mask may be slightly modified, as by shading or reducing the size of the area corresponding to a predominant screen colour, or by modifying the masking bands to transmit a portion of the common light, or by modifying the transmission areas so that they will transmit colours in approximately the same proportions as daylight. Reference is made to known processes, such as that of Specification 374,891, for spreading the image elements in printing multicolour photographs.

Abstract: 540,590. Television. HAZELTINE CORPORATION. June 20, 1940, No. 10624. Convention date, Feb. 7. [Classes 40 (iii) and 40 (v)] In a system in which video signals are transmitted by amplitude modulation and synchronizing signals by frequency modulation, and the line synchronizing signals are constituted by short pulses of a particular deviation from the normal carrier frequency and the field signals by longer pulses of a different deviation, as in Specification 529,320, the line and field signals are separated by tuned circuits, one being more broadly selective than the other The output from the intermediate frequency amplifier 14 passes (1) to the amplitude modulation detector 15 from which video signals pass to the cathode-ray receiver 17, (2) to the line-pulse intermediate-frequency selector 25 to control the line-scanning unit 18, and (3) to the field-pulse intermediate-frequency selector 30 to control the field-scanning unit 19. The line-pulse selector 25 is broadly tuned to the intermediate frequency corresponding to the line synchronizing signal and is connected through a rectifier and amplitude selector 26, line-frequency selector 27, and line-pulse shaper 28 to the linescanning unit 18 The unit 26 comprises a rectifier 36 and condenser-resistance combinations 37, 38, one of which has a long time constant so as to bias the rectifier 36 to prevent the passage of weak pulses representing video signals, field synchronizing pulses, &c Pulses from the linefrequency selector 27 pass to the A.V.C. rectifier 29 controlling units 12, 13, 14. The field-pulse circuits 30, 31 are similar to units 25, 26, except that the selector 30 is sharply tuned to the intermediate frequency corresponding to the field synchronizing pulse. The deviations from the normal frequency representing the line and field pulses may be in the same direction (Fig. 3, not shown) or in opposite directions (Figs. 5 and 6, not shown) and in each case the field pulses are of longer duration than the line pulses and may be arranged between two line pulses.
