Title: Composite moulding techniques
Filed: 2013-03-18
Abstract: An article is moulded by putting a fibrous substrate 27b into a mould 33, the fibrous substrate including a matrix forming material; putting a further element of matrix forming material 29a into the mould; and applying pressure. Ideally the further element of matrix forming material is adjacent a recess 35 on the mould, having a similar volume, so that it forms a feature on the final article. The fibres may be natural or synthetic such as recycled carbon fibres and woven, or unidirectional in tape form in a preconsolidated sheet. The two matrix forming materials may be composed of the same polymer, and be provided in solid or semisolid form. The further matrix material may include fibres that are shorter than the other fibres. The pressure could be applied by a second mould part or a vacuum bag, and thus could force the further matrix forming material into the recess of the mould, flowing through the fibrous substrate therebetween. There may be multiple fibrous substrates with the further matrix material forming a core. Closing of a mould could cut the substrate to size forming the final article.

Title: Method of operating a server apparatus for delivering website content, server apparatus and device in communication with server apparatus
Filed: 2013-05-10
Abstract: Generation of versions of a web site, each version being initially assigned an equal weighting score and uploaded for use, recording subsequent site traffic per version including subsequent user actions, for example purchase, download, click-through, registration, etc., analysing use records on a periodic or cyclic basis to calculate adjustments to the weighting scores of each version and once the numbers are statistically significant, changing the weightings to direct differing portions of internet traffic through different website versions in order to optimise the conversion rate of the website. The conversion rate is the ratio of total actions over initial hits on the web site. Changing the weightings may result in elimination of the worst performing version as the self-adapting optimisation continues to make the web site design evolve to be more effective in courting user actions.

Title: Filter assembly
Inventor: COOPER ROYDON BRUCE
IPC: B01D46/24
Filed: 1984-08-13
Granted: 1989-11-30
Abstract: A filter assembly incorporates a system for jacking a fitter canister (13) into and out of engagement with a filter head (11). A threaded jackscrew (15) is mated to a threaded portion of the filter head and rotatably mounted on the filter canister, but longitudinally confined near the canister top. The assembly can accommodate a second class lever (46) the fulcrum of which lies in a notch or other recess (44) in the filter head. The jackscrew includes a plurality of circumferentially-spaced lugs against which a portion of the lever can act. The manual application of force to the free end (46B) of the lever creates a mechanical advantage of the jackscrew lugs (48) such that a torque sufficient to free and turn the jackscrew can be generated. Repeated pivoting of the lever against successive lugs of the jackscrew in a ratchet-like manner unscrews the jackscrew, and the captive canister, from the filter head.
