Title: Radar device and similar device
Inventor: FUJIKAWA TAKUMI
IPC: G01S7/12
Filed: 2004-08-26
Abstract: There is provided a radar device capable of surely updating image data of one sweep rotation by forming an interpolation sweep between adjacent real sweeps regardless of the real sweep interval. According to a current real sweep direction and a previous sweep direction, a sweep direction generation section (12) generates a direction of the interpolation sweep interpolating between them and outputs it to a plot address generation section (7). A sweep data generation section (11) performs linear interpolation processing according to the isolation elimination data on the current real sweep data which has been read from a sweep memory (4) and the previous isolation elimination real sweep data which has been stored, generates interpolation sweep data between these real sweeps, and outputs it to an image memory (8). According to the real sweep direction and the interpolation sweep direction from the plot address generation section (7), an image memory (8) stores the isolation elimination real sweep data or the interpolation sweep data and outputs it to a display unit (9) according to raster scan.

Title: Baffle arrangement for separating liquid oil from blow-by gas in an i.c. engine
Inventor: PATEMAN RICHARD
IPC: F01M13/04
Filed: 2007-07-19
Abstract: A baffle device 10 for separating liquid oil from blow-by gas 100 within an engine comprises a number of inclined baffle passages 30 having an inlet 20; a cleaned gas outlet 50; and a drain 40 for the separated liquid oil 110. The baffle device is provided at a horizontally central portion of the engine and comprises a funnel 44 and drain outlet 42 that are symmetrical about one or more vertical planes of the engine so that oil drainage is not affected by vehicle orientation. The inlet 20 has a larger diameter than the baffle passages 30 to reduce the velocity of blow-by gas entering the baffle device 10 so that some separated oil can flow back out via the inlet 20. The drain outlet has a restricted passage 48 so that oil only gradually leaks from it and thereby forms a barrier to the entry of blow-by gas. The gas outlet 50 may extend horizontally from the baffle device (fig.2) to save space vertically. The upper portion of the baffle device may be formed by the cylinder head cover.

Title: A retractable boat keel
Inventor: STEYNOR WILLIAM HAROLD VERNON
IPC: B63B3/38
Filed: 2009-05-18
Abstract: A retractable boat keel comprises first and second pivoted keel plates 1, 2, which may be retained retracted end-to-end in longitudinal alignment by a cable 16 attached to an interconnecting link 13 hinged to their bottom ends. The cable 16 may be released for deployment of the keel, this allowing the first plate 1 to swing down and via the link 13 draw the second plate with it. The second plate 2 may have rollers 9 which run on rails 10 that descend tipping the second plate 2 forward so that it is propelled under gravity to be retained edge-on against the first plate 1. Upward movement of the keel from the deployed state by grounding, knock-down or roll, is blocked by abutment of stops 20 on the second plate2 with lock-stops 21 on the keel box, but retraction of the keel is achieved by pulling-in the cable 16. This draws the second plate 2 up the rails 10 under the lock stops 21 and, via the interconnecting link 13 pivots the first plate 1 back with it into the retracted condition.

Patent GB-2474058-A (GB)
Title: A combined liposuction and microwave surgical probe and system for fat liquefaction and coagulation
Inventor: HANCOCK CHRISTOPHER PAUL
IPC: A61B18/18
Filed: 2009-10-02
Abstract: The present invention provides surgical apparatus for liposuction in which microwave energy is delivered from a probe 104, 146 into a treatment region to perform a fat liquefying function or a haemostasis function. The probe, 104 includes an antenna 146 connected to receive the output microwave radiation and arranged to emit microwave energy into the treatment region, and a conduit 148 connected to a suction pump 150 for conveying liquiefied fat away from the treatment region. The liposuction system microwave means can be configured to either liquefy fat, coagulate blood or tighten collagen. The apparatus capitalises on the way in which certain frequencies of microwave radiation between 1GHz and 300GHz, produce a higher heating effect in blood as compared to fat. This is predominantly due to the differences in the skin depths of blood and fat radiated at the same frequencies. By ensuring that the microwave frequency and delivered power remain constant, the heating within tissue containing blood, is enhanced over that containing fat. In practice, due to the differences in the impedance of fatty and blood filled tissue, it is necessary to monitor and control the microwave power delivered to the tissue. This is achieved by means of directional couplers 122, 134, 172, 176 which measure the forward and reverse power delivered to the tissue probe 104. In addition isolation between the measured forward and reverse power is increased by the use of circulators 128, 132, 168, 174, which enhances the accuracy and sensitivity of the measurement.
