Title: Dredging vessel
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a dredging vessel 1. Vessel 1 has a floating member 2 to float in ambient water, the floating member having a front end 2A and a rear end 2B, and propulsion means 3 adjacent the rear end 2B. A head 12, 13 is connected to the floating member 2 forward of the propulsion means 3 and moves along the water bed upon movement of the floating vessel relative to the water bed. Head 12,13 supports at least one water outlet 14. A water pump 16 has an inlet 16A connected to ambient water and an outlet connected to the or each head water outlet 14.

Title: Microwave thermographic apparatus for bio-medical use
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1983-01-12
Abstract: Microwave thermography apparatus comprises a signalreceiving aerial (2) which is sensitive to microwave radiation emanating from a body having a mean body temperature. A reference load (1) capable of being maintained at a chosen temperature (TO) and of emitting a thermal noise signal at microwave frequency corresponding to temperature TO, is connected to a receiver (3) the input impedance of which is matched to the impedance of reference load (1) by way of a 3-port non-reciprocal circulator (5). Aerial (2) is connected via a single-throw on/off microwave switch (6) to the input of receiver (3) through the other port of circulator (5). The connections to circulator (5), taken in circulation order, are reference load (1), aerial (2), receiver (3). Aerial (2) is preferentially designed to incorporate a tubular metallic waveguide (10) of circular cross-section dimensioned to support TE11 wave mode and the lower order mode, the signal output from the aerial (2) being taken by a coaxial line and the aerial (2) incorporating a broad band waveguide coaxial line mode transformer (11,12) which is arranged to select only the TE11 mode for delivery to the coaxial line. The waveguide (10) is filled with a low-loss dielectric material (13) in order to provide the aerial (2) with an impedance close to the mean body tissue impedance (about 80 ohms).

Patent GB-8506469-D0 (GB)
Title: Flexible elongate body
IPC: H01B7/17
Filed: 1985-03-13
Abstract: ) An overhead electric conductor comprises a central tubular metal core 52, at least one layer 55 of helically wound bare metal wires surrounding the core and, loosely housed in the bore of the core, at least one optical fibre element 11. The optical fibre element 11 comprises a flexible tube 17 of elongate transverse cross-section in which is loosely housed an optical fibre ribbon structure 12 and which is resiliently set in such a form that it follows a path of smoothly curved undulations, the axes of curvature of which lie parallel to one another and normal to the axis of the tube. Should a tensile force applied to the overhead conductor be transferred to the loosely housed optical fibre element, the flexible tube of the element will tend to straighten in a lengthwise direction against the action of its resilient set thereby to reduce any tensile force that might otherwise be applied to the optical fibres and, when the tensile force is removed, the tube will return under the action of its resilient set towards its original form.

Patent GB-8722414-D0 (GB)
Title: Determining amount of material in tank
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 1987-09-23
Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining tank contents employs processing means for comparing sensing outputs (e.g. derived from a liquid level sensor (4)) with metering outputs (e.g. derived from a volumetric totaliser connected to a dispenser (2)) in order to determine errors in the sensing outputs and thereby to provide a corrected calibration characteristic. In the preferred embodiment (which applies to a storage tank (1) containing petroleum), the calibration characteristic is refined, in stages, by applying incremental changes to a conversion factor used in determining data values related to the sensing output and by computing correlations to determine an optimum calibration characteristic. A corrected calibration characteristic (stored in a PROM) may be subsequently employed in equipment for displaying tank contents.

Title: An apparatus for,and a method of,cutting a blank
IPC: B21D28/34
Filed: 1990-06-20
Abstract: When a blank is cut from metal sheet which suffers from crystallographic anisotropy, there is a tendency for ears to be formed during subsequent forming operations, such as drawing or pressing. In order to compensate for this tendency, there may be used a metal blank which is not completely round, but has lobes at positions to cancel at least some of the valleys between the ears. There is described a punch (110) and die (111) which may be used to form such a lobed blank (112). The punch (110) has four circumferentially extending lobe-forming sections (124). Each lobe-forming section is constructed by forming a stepped recess in the cutting edge of the punch (110). In each lobe-forming section, the depth of the recess varies from a maximum at the middle of the section to zero at the ends. The die (111) is conventional.
