Filed: 2001-10-11
Granted: 2002-12-31
Abstract: A patient support consisting of a frame 22 supporting a translucent support surface 24 elevated above the frame 22 by longitudinal channels 23. The channels 23 support an x-ray cassette tray 36 for sliding movement along the length of the frame 22. The x-ray cassette trays 36 can be loaded onto the channels 23 from either or both the head 30 and foot 32 ends of the frame 22. All of the patient support surface can be covered by the x-ray cassettes. In use, the x-ray cassette tray 36 is pulled out from the channels 23 and loaded with an x-ray cassette 38. The handle 39 is pulled out from within the tray 36 and locked into position against latch 38. The tray 36 is then slid back onto the channels 23 and the position of the cassette 38 within the tray 36 is indicated by the position of the indicator 66 visible along the side of the frame 22.

Title: Apparatus and methods for automatic recognition, metering and energy output prediction of renewable energy devices
Inventor: BOAIT PETER
IPC: F03B13/12
Filed: 2007-02-08
Granted: 2009-04-29
Abstract: A metering apparatus is used to meter at least one renewable energy device that derives energy from a renewable energy source such as a wind turbine 32 or combined heat and power (CHP) generator 34. The apparatus includes an electronic control unit 46 an energy sensor 44. The energy sensor 44 measures an energy parameter that is affected by an energy output of the renewable energy device. In the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 8 the energy sensor 44 is an electrical load sensor that measures electrical load flowing in the connection 42a between a supply busbar 36 and a distribution panel 42. The electrical load sensor provides energy data in the form of electrical load measurements to the electronic control unit 46. The electronic control unit 46 uses the energy data to derive a profile of the change in the energy parameter and correlates the derived profile with a reference profile corresponding to the particular type of renewable energy. The results of the correlation and the energy data are then used to quantify the energy output of the renewable energy device over a selected period of time.

Patent GB-2185789-B (GB)
Title: A method of cold rolling and profiling rings
Inventor: BARTKO KRISTINE
IPC: B21H1/12
Filed: 1986-03-27
Granted: 1988-11-02
Abstract: An internal or external annular surface of a ring which by cold-rolling is to be profiled with accompanying tangential expansion and substantial diametrical enlargement of the ring is preliminarily profiled by a metal-shaping process other than cold-rolling, the preliminary profile having distinctly defined lateral peripheral edges spaced from the lateral walls of the workpiece. The cold-rolling is effected by a cold rolling tool having formed on the working surface thereof facing the preliminarily profiled workpiece surface a profile which is shaped to make local contact with each of the edges of the preliminary profile of the ring and thereby begin compressively stressing the ring by the local contact before the cold rolling conforms the profile of the workpiece to the profile of the tool sufficiently to substantially increase the contact of the tool profile with the workpiece profile. The compressive stressing mitigates tensile stressing accompanying the aforementioned tangential expansion and substantial diametrical enlargement of the ring, thereby preventing the onset of cracking and other defects of the workpiece as the workpiece is cold-rolled.

Title: Pressure reducing valve
Inventor: PATEL MILAN NANDUBHAI
IPC: F16K17/19
Filed: 1989-04-28
Granted: 1992-10-28
Abstract: A pressure reducing valve (1) is mounted directly on a high pressure (300 bar) gas cylinder (23). When a standard adaptor is inserted in the outlet (4) and handwheel (20) is opened gas is available at outlet (4) at a maximum pressure of 200 bar. When a special filling adaptor (24) is inserted in the outlet (4) the cylinder can be refilled to its maximum pressure of 300 bar. The special filling adaptor (24) has a seal (25) which inhibits gas flow from a chamber (28) via a passage (22) to the surrounding atmosphere. This, in turn, inhibits a piston (8) moving downwardly to close the inlet (3) of the pressure reducing valve (1) as would be the case in normal service.

Title: Method and device for producing endless drive belts
Inventor: SCHANIN JONATHAN
IPC: F16G5/12
Filed: 1990-05-21
Granted: 1993-04-14
Abstract: The endless drive belt is produced by winding a pre-formed load-carrying member (6) comprising a cord (8) embedded in a solid but softenable elastic material (10) along and around a surface of an endless compression member belt (2) also comprising a solid but softenable elastic material, thereby forming a layer (4) comprising a plurality of turns, and by simultaneously causing said turns to become intimately bonded to said surface. Said bonding is achieved by applying mutual pressure between said turns and said surface during winding and by selectively softening the surface layers of both said load-carrying member and said endless compression member belt which are to come into contact with each other, just prior to coming into contact with each other. The material of said surface layers is allowed to fuse. Said turns of said load-carrying member are further allowed to be partially impressed in said surface of said endless compression member belt. Softening may be carried out by the application of heat and/or the application of an adhesive. A device for carrying out the above method is also disclosed. With the device disclosed endless drive belts may be easily produced in-house at the time they are required at any size and at minimal costs and capital outlay.

Title: Mapping web server objects to TCP/IP ports
Inventor: GUENTHNER TIMOTHY JOHN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1998-11-11
Granted: 2003-02-26
Abstract: A method of routing in a computer network having a pool of servers capable of servicing requests for access to a set of server resource objects. The set of server resource objects are distributed in a non-homogeneous manner across the server pool. According to the method, each incoming client request for access to a specified server resource object is targeted to a router having an associated port space identifying a plurality of ports. Based on the port on which an incoming client request is received, the request is mapped to one of the server resource objects. The router then selects the "best provider" and redirects or forwards the request to that server. The routing and redirection is based upon the port for the incoming request.

Patent IT-1135024-B (IT)
Inventor: SARACINI ALESSANDRO
IPC: H02G1/04
Filed: 1981-01-14
Granted: 1986-08-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a system of stretching overhead electric lines, more particularly high-tension lines, according to which a pilot cord or haulage cable is positioned in conventional manner over a set of top pulleys positioned at the highest point on each pylon in the line, and is then used to pull a first haulage cable or guard cable together with at least one other supplementary haulage cable, and/or supplementary guard cable. Each supplementary cable, after passing the top pulleys on which the first haulage cable of guard cable have been laid, is slid and guided downwards until it rests on pulleys underneath. In this manner, each further haulage cable is already positioned for drawing a conductor or bunch of conductors and other haulage cables if required. In the aforementioned system, it is no longer necessary to position a pilot cord for each conductor or bunch of conductors to be tensioned, but it is sufficient to position a single pilot cord on the top pulleys of the pylons, since all the conductors or bundles of conductors and/or further haulage cables are subsequently positioned automatically, starting from the pilot cord or first haulage cable, during the subsequent stage of tensioning.

Abstract: The transducer includes a hollow cylindrical housing containing a coaxial sleeve, pref. of teflon. The ends of the sleeve are closed by two permanent magnets which are pole-orientated in the same sense with a cylindrical permanent magnet. The magnet is movable in the space between the two end magnets. The movable magnet has a chrome-coated brass outer layer or other low friction coating and is orientated in the opposite sense to the end magnets so that it is retained centrally by magnetic repulsion forces. Vibration axially moves the magnet between two bifilar windings axially spaced on the sleeve each side of its centre, the bifilar windings generating no magnetic field.
