Title: An assembly apparatus for forming an interfay joint during manufacture of an aircraft
Inventor: PAUL EDWARDS
IPC: B64F5/10
Filed: 2017-07-31
Abstract: An assembly apparatus and method for forming an interfay joint during manufacture of an aircraft comprising an assembly jig 40 to hold a first joint component 26, and an applicator 43 configured to apply an uncured layer of liquid shim 45 to the first joint component. The assembly jig locates, subsequent to the uncured layer of shim being applied, a second joint component (23, fig 10) in an assembled joint position spaced from the first joint component. As such the uncured layer of shim is compressed between the first and second joint components. Preferably, the shim layer applicator 43 comprises an uncured, liquid shim retaining bath such that the first component can be dipped in to apply the uncured layer of shim to a plurality of joint surfaces simultaneously. Preferably, a curing system cures the layer of shim compressed between the components; subsequently, the components may be moved away, a sealant applicator, which may comprise the shim layer applicator, may apply a layer of sealant to the cured layer of shim, the components are moved to the assembled position and a fixing, such as a fastener, may be applied. Preferably the components may comprise an aircraft sub assembly, such as a wing box 21, including a rib foot 27 for attachment to a wing cover or skin. An aircraft aerodynamic surface and a shim layer applicator are further disclosed.

Title: A method of modifying an image on a computational device
Inventor: ROBERT CHRISTIAN PEPPERELL
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2017-09-06
Abstract: Modifying an image 1200, comprising: providing image data representing a portion of a three-dimensional scene visible to a human observer when fixating on a visual fixation point within the scene; displaying an image by rendering the image data on a display device; and capturing user input by user input capturing means. Capturing comprises monitoring a point of gaze of a user to determine a spatial coordinate representing a movable visual fixation point of the human observer in the three dimensional scene. Image data is computationally processed to enclose each object of the scene in a three dimensional detection region configured to identify coincidence of the object with the visual fixation point. The image is modified by: isolating a fixation region 1201 representing an object associated with the fixation point; spatially reconstructing the image to expand the fixation region and compress a peripheral image region 1202-1204 progressively as a function of distance from the fixation region. The expansion of the fixation region and contraction of the peripheral region are modulated by a distance between the user’s head and the display. Image data is processed to move the fixation region towards a centre of the display.

Title: Systems and methods for selecting media for meal plans
Inventor: BRUCE WALTER WILKINSON
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2016-06-16
Abstract: A system selects meals according to a user's tastes and presents media files instructing execution of the meal. User interactions with the media file are monitored and evaluated to determine whether the media file is viewed, viewed for inspiration, and/or viewed while executing the meal. Actions monitored and evaluated may include movement of a user device during a viewing, pausing of playback, appropriateness of pausing locations to meal preparation steps, and orientation of the device. The occurrence or non-occurrence of these actions is evaluated for one or more viewings of the media file to determine whether the media file was viewed for execution or only inspiration. Subsequent media files are selected for the user that have attributes more similar to media files determined to be viewed for execution and less similar to those not viewed for execution.

The first debris removal member is movable relative to the second debris removal member between a first position in which a debris collection channel (88) is defined, and a second position (fig. 16) in which the debris removal members are contiguous or overlapping, wherein movement from the first to the second position removes debris from the channel, the first debris removal member is biased toward the second position by a biasing member (64, fig. 11). The head may comprise a movement mechanism which moves the first member from the second to the first position when the agitator rotates at a speed above a predetermined threshold and from the second to the first position when the speed is below a predetermined threshold, the threshold partially determined by the biasing member. The first debris removal member may comprise an edge which opposes an edge of the second member. The first or second member edges may comprise a cutting edge.

Title: Adhesive curing for affixing optical elements to substrates
Inventor: ANDREW ROBERTSON
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 2018-04-05
Abstract: Assembling optical devices includes providing a glass-based optical element and a substrate with an ultraviolet (UV) light curable adhesive positioned in two locations between the optical element and the substrate. The substrate is within 5 mm of a UV mirror positioned below the substrate. The adhesive is cured using at least one UV light source which emits primarily at a UV wavelength or in a range of UV wavelengths that is positioned above the optical device. At the UV wavelength or range of UV wavelengths the substrate comprises a UV transmissive material and the UV mirror provides high UV reflectance. A portion of the UV light that is transmitted through the substrate is reflected by the UV mirror back through the substrate to provide additional substrate curing. The adhesive may be an acrylic resin such as epoxy acrylate which is cured without the need for any heating. The light source may be a single source and may include LEDs. The substrate may lie directly on the UV mirror. After curing, the substrate may be removed from the UV mirror. Assembling a fused-fiber device also follows the steps above with a silica substrate in direct contact with a UV mirror.

Title: Connect/disconnect system
Inventor: Michael Galea
IPC: F16D27/01
Filed: 2018-07-23
Abstract: A clutch system comprising four permanent magnets and a coil, which could be used in a turbine-generator arrangement. The coil, which can be turned on/off by an electronic switch, may be a linear actuator, and have a power supply, such as a battery or a capacitor, that supplies direct current pulses. When the input and output shafts are engaged, the coil is in a de-energised state, and a mover is latched near the output shaft by a magnetic force between first and second magnets. The mover and part of the output shaft may be coupled magnetically. To disengage the shafts, the coil is switched on, thus creating a magnetic force between the coil and the third magnet that pulls the mover towards a stator. The coil is then turned off when the mover reaches the stator, and a latching force between the mover and the fourth magnet holds the mover in position.

Title: Permanent magnet as a power source
Inventor: JAROSLAV KVARDA
IPC: H02N11/00
Filed: 2018-12-14
Abstract: An alleged magnetic generator comprises a magnetic core 101 which enables the flow of magnetic flux of two permanent magnets 107a,b and at least two coils 103,105 magnetically coupled with the magnetic core, wherein each coil includes a control winding 103c,105c and an output winding 103m,105m. Each coil controls the magnetic flux in the magnetic core based on a signal from a control circuit 109 and converts the magnetic flux received from each permanent magnet into electrical energy. An output circuit 111 electrically coupled with the coils receives the electrical energy from the coils and provides energy to the control circuit, a power circuit 113 and/or an external load 115. The magnetic core may be a C-I shaped core and may be made of ferrite material. The control circuit may be electrically coupled to the coils and generate a control signal based on a feedback input signal generated by the output circuit. In use, the control windings in the two coils are alternately energized to alternately change the direction of magnetic flux through the core (Figures 3A,B), which induces a current in the output winding of the unenergized coil. The device is alleged to produce more energy than it consumes.
