Title: Method of detecting or monitoring a subsurface hydrocarbon sized structure
Inventor: KUGLER SIMONE
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2009-01-29
Abstract: Subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir-sized structures are detected or monitored by ambient noise tomography. Interface wave data are recorded for interface waves excited by seismic ambient noise. The data are recorded simultaneously at pairs of locations with the locations of each pair being spaced by less than or equal to a wavelength at the frequencies of interest. The recorded data are processed (3-7) by tomography to obtain group-velocity and/or phase-velocity tomograms, which are inverted to obtain seismic parameters values, such as seismic velocity. The seismic parameters may then be used to form a geological model (8) of a subsurface region of interest.

Title: Off-road vehicle
Inventor: MOJAY-SINCLAE CHESTER PAUL
IPC: A63C17/01
Filed: 2009-12-11
Abstract: An off-road vehicle comprises a platform 2 and a fixed wheel assembly 3, 4 attached to the platform, with a multi-rotational wheel assembly 1 also attached to the platform. The multi-rotational wheel assembly comprises a wheel 10, rotatable about its own axis, and mounted within a circular bearing 5 formed in a hole in the deck 2. Since the wheel is mounted within the circular bearing, the wheel is free to independently change its orientation to face any direction of travel. Furthermore, the wheel protrudes through the hole about which the circular bearing is mounted. As a result, a user standing on the platform 2 is able to rotate the vehicle using the multi-rotational wheel assembly 1 in a manner similar to a snowboard. The invention particularly relates to a sports mountain board. Also provided is a multi-rotational wheel assembly 1, for off-road vehicles.

Patent GB-1541356-A (GB)
Title: Coupling lever
IPC: E05D5/14
Filed: 1977-03-10
Abstract: The transmission lever consists of a plurality of lamellae (19, 21) which have at the front and rear end a perforation (20, 22) for receiving joint pins. The centre distance (a) between the perforations (20) of the outer lamellae (19) is a little greater than the centre distance (b) between the perforations (22) of the inner lamellae (21). When the joint pins are introduced into the perforations (20, 22), the outer lamellae (19) are compressed and the inner lamellae (21) are expanded. Under the influence of the compressive and expansive forces, a non-positive connection is made between the lamellae and the joint pins, the spring forces exerted on the joint pins by the lamellae being in the elastic range. This ensures that this connection does not come loose, even under the influence of changing loads, and no noises occur in the region of the mounting of the pins under changing stresses on the transmission levers. <IMAGE>

In one embodiment, Figs. 1, 3 and 5, thread 8 from a cone 4, the sleeve 3 which is held by a rubber ring 2 on a hollow shank 1, passes upwards through a freely rotating flyer arm 7 and downwards through the channel 11 in the tube 6 having a widened lower part 10 closely fitting into the casing 9. The surface 13 is formed on the part 10. The plate 14 is rotatable about a pivot 35 attached to a lever 34 pivoted to the upper part of the surface 13. The multi-pole axially-magnetised magnet 15 is held by an externally threaded bush 18 and secured against rotation by a lug 19. The bush 18 extends through a closure 21 for the casing 9 and is screwed into a head 22 serving as a thrust bearing for a hub 24 of the flyer 7. A compression spring 15 acts between the closure 21 and a shoulder 26 on the bush 18. Rotation of the head 22 raises or lowers the magnet 15. The channel 16, Figs. 3 and 5, receives the thread 8 during the threading-in operation without raising the plate 14 from the surface 13. When the thread 8 is tautened, it slides over the surface 17 into the braking zone proper. The surface 17 is formed by inclined flutes. In another embodiment, Figs. 8 and 9, the by-pass channel 36 is formed with a lug 37 having a thread-deflection surface 38 merging into the surface 13. The plate 14 has a hollow 39 on the side facing the surface 13 and cooperates only at its edge with the surface 13.
