Patent BR-PI0703337-A (BR)
Inventor: RANCE JASON
IPC: A41D13/012
Filed: 2007-08-17
Abstract: This application describes a garment (e.g. a swim suit) having a base layer of stretchable elasticated fabric, the base layer having a torso portion that covers at least a part of the torso of a person when the garment is worn. An inner core layer of stretchable elasticated fabric is bonded to the inner surface of the base layer to extend around the abdomen and lower back regions of the garment. By providing a double layer of stretchable elasticated fabric in this manner, more compression is applied to the abdomen of the person (e.g. swimmer) wearing the suit, bringing about improvements in form drag. The additional support provided to the lower back and abdomen also improves core stability, which is of benefit in many sporting activities, including swimming.

Title: Electrical circuit synchronisation
Inventor: HART SIMON DAVID
IPC: H02J3/40
Filed: 2013-04-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing a DC power source 200, which may be renewable, to a three phase mains electricity grid 300 via an interfacing output circuit 100, which further comprises an inverter 101, capacitance 102 and braking resistance 103. Capacitor 102 stores energy from the power source 200 before the power source 200 is disconnected using a first switching unit, at which point the output circuit 100 is connected to the grid 300 through a second switching unit. Braking resistor 103 is selectively connectable in parallel across the capacitor 102. When connected, the resistor lowers the voltage across the capacitor 102 and allows the grid 300 to charge the capacitor 102, during which time grid characteristics, such as phase and peak voltage, can be measured and the circuit 100 can be synchronized with the grid 300. The braking resistor 103 is connected and disconnected for at least 50 pulses of varying time to reduce the effect of noise. Once synchronization is complete, the DC power source 200 is once again connected to the output circuit 100 through the first switching unit to supply electricity to the grid 300.
