Title: An end fitting connected to a body
Inventor: BOND DAVID
IPC: B29C70/68
Filed: 2009-08-26
Abstract: An apparatus comprises a fitting 12 connected to a body 14, where the fitting has an engagement portion including a channel 18 formed into its peripheral surface, and an axis L. The body includes an axial layer 20 provided around at least some of the peripheral surface of the engagement portion of the end fitting and a hoop layer 30 provided around the axial layer at a location corresponding to at least some of the channel, so as to urge at least some of the axial layer into a portion of the channel. The channel is arranged such that at least some of it defines a pathway that is non-orthogonal with respect to the axis of the fitting, such that at least some of the surface area of the channel defines a load bearing surface for the transfer of torque between the fitting and body when a rotational force is applied to one of them.

Title: Aircraft stabilising system with ducted airflow
Inventor: ASHLEY ADRIAN LYNLEY
IPC: B64C9/38
Filed: 2009-09-02
Abstract: A stabilisation system for a ground effect vehicle, such as a flying car or a flying bike, comprises an arrangement of ducts for directing an airflow into and out of the vehicle with the airflow being regulated by movable flaps. Air enters the front of the vehicle via flaps 1 into a 'Y' shaped air flow chamber 2 including an air intake channel 3. The air-flow is separated by at least one generally movable rudder flap 4 into left and right airflow bypass channels 5,6. The airflow exits the left or right bypass channels and is deflected by left or right vector flaps 7,8 that can be angled up or down together to modify the pitch angle of the vehicle. Alternatively the left and right vector flaps may be moved up or down in opposite directions to modify the roll of the vehicle in a clockwise or anticlockwise rotation of the vehicle. The movable rudder flap may be moved to direct the airflow to either the left or right air bypass channel in order to modify the yaw of the vehicle. The system includes a plurality or air flow sensors 9 together with a plurality of vehicle positional and speed sensors 10,11. An automatic controller 12 enables the vehicle stability and directional steering to be enhanced.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the maintenance of pistons and the cylinders in which they reciprocate
IPC: F16J1/24
Filed: 1946-04-01
Abstract: 610,209. Pistons. SULZER FRERES SOC. ANON. April 1, 1946, No. 10037. Convention date, April 30, 1945. [Class 122 (i)] [Also in Group XL (b)] Apparatus for indicating the conditions of the contacting surfaces of a piston and cylinder while the piston is reciprocating in the cylinder, comprises apparatus for imparting a rotation to the piston as it reciprocates in the cylinder which will permit slip when there is abnormal resistance to this rotation and means for producing an indication from which the rate of rotation can be assessed. As shown, the piston is rotated from the connecting rod by a friction drive as described in Specification 515,111 and a contact 15 on the piston touches a contact 12 in a circuit with a lamp 14 and battery 13 during a certain arc of rotation of piston and when it reaches the end of its downward stroke; the speed of rotation can be assessed from the number of times the lamp 14 illuminates. Alternatively, the electric impulses may actuate an electromagneticallyactuated ratchet gear operating a pointer which is returned to zero every rotation of the piston. Other indicating means described include ports in the piston and cylinder or a valve actuated by the piston which permit fluid to flow to an indicating device, and a photo-electric cell arrangement (see Group XL (b)).

Title: Improvements relating to centrifugal casting machines
IPC: B05B15/58
Filed: 1943-06-25
Abstract: <PICT:0581777/III/1> <PICT:0581777/III/2> <PICT:0581777/III/3> <PICT:0581777/III/4> A centrifugal casting-machine having a metal mould, comprises an elongated support relatively movable with respect to the mould to position the support within the mould and withdraw it therefrom, a spray device mounted on the support to discharge liquid coating composition upon the inner surface of the mould, a container for the liquid coating composition located outside the mould, supply and return pipes connecting the container and the spray device, and means for continuously circulating liquid coating composition from the container through the supply pipe to and through the spray device and through the return pipe back to the container. The coating composition consists of finely divided solid material suspended in a liquid vehicle and may be agitated and cooled by cooling pipes which may also pass through the spray device. Referring to the Figs., the coating material is placed in container 31 and motor 67 is continuously operated so as to circulate the composition through pipe 37, passageway 36 and return pipe 40.  The motor 22 rotates the mould 20, and the mould carriage 17 is moved longitudinally by a piston working in hydraulic cylinder 24 connected to coupling member 25 by piston rod 26.  Compressed air is admitted to chamber 44 and hence to chamber 52 and discharges from air ports 53 and 54.  As sufficient pressure builds up against the piston 45 the needle valve 42 is withdrawn from the discharge opening 41 so that a jet of composition is discharged therefrom and taken up by the controlled jet of ejected air.  The cutting off of the compressed air operates spring 46 so moving the needle valve 42 into closed position (see Group XXIX).  In this form of apparatus the coating appliance is fixed with respect to the runner 13, but a similar apparatus in which the coating appliance is not fixed to the casting-machine is shown in Fig. 4. Specification 423,612, [Group XXII], is referred to.

Abstract: Finely-divided silica having a surface area of 15-200 sq m./gm., an ultimate particle size of 0.02-0.4 microns, and an aggregate particle size of 1-5 microns, is precipitated by admixing an acid, which forms a water-soluble alkali metal salt, and an aqueous alkali metal silicate solution at a rate such that the stoichiometric amount of acid required to react with the alkali metal silicate is admixed therewith within a period of less than 10 minutes, preferably less than 1-2 minutes, while maintaining the solution at superatmospheric pressure and at a temperature above 100 DEG  C., preferably of 150-300 DEG  C.  The pressure may be autogenous or higher.  The acid may be introduced into the alkali metal silicate solution, or vice versa, or streams of both reactants may be introduced continuously into the reaction zone.  Acids specified are hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, nitric, sulphurous, and carbonic acid, sodium and ammonium bicarbonate, sodium hydrogen sulphate, and disodium hydrogen phosphate, and gaseous sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride and chlorine.  The alkali metal silicate may be sodium or potassium silicate and may have a molar ratio of silica to metal oxide of 2-4, preferably 3-4.  The silicate solution may contain more than 12-15 gm./l. of Na2O and up to 150 gm./1. of SiO.  The pH of the reaction mixture is preferably above 5.  If a greater excess of acid is employed it should be neutralised before the silica is recovered. The alkali metal silicate solution may contain 5-80 gm./l. of sodium chloride, sulphate, or nitrate.

Abstract: 436,159. Electromagnetic interrupters. HUGHES & SON, Ltd., H., 59, Fenchurch Street, London, and SPROULE, D. O., Husun Works, New North Road, Barkingside, Ilford, Essex. April 6, 1934, No. 10418. [Class 38 (v)] [See also Groups XL and XXXVIII] Intermittent pulses of oscillatory current are delivered, say to a magneto-strictive transmitter for echo-sounding, by charging and discharging a condenser through an electromagnetic interrupter which is timed to effect the transfer of energy when the condenser reaches its first voltage peak. When the contacts a, Fig. 1, are closed the electromagnet f lifts an armature g to close the contact m, thereby charging a choke d and shunt condenser e. The contacts a are then opened, the armature g springs back against the lower contact n, and the condenser e discharges through the sounding-device or other load inserted across the terminals o, p. As shown in Fig. 2, the armature g is carried on a bowed spring k1 and its mechanical frequency is adjusted so as to ensure that the storage condenser e is discharged at the moment of maximum voltage.
