Title: Modelling volumetric properties of fluids eg hydrocarbons
Inventor: UNGERER PHILIPPE
IPC: G01N33/28
Filed: 1997-10-31
Abstract: A modelling method, which allows the volumetric properties (density, molar volume, compressibility) of a mixture made up of several substances to be predicted accurately, essentially consists in applying to the molar volume (v) of each constituent making up the mixture, obtained by applying a known equation of state, a correction or volume translation which varies linearly with temperature (T), expressed by the relationship: c(T)=AT + B where A and B are coefficients determined experimentally on the basis of volumetric data. The accurate volumetric data obtained by the method can be used in the oil industry, for example, to determine other properties (kinematic viscosity, interfacial tension, sound velocity) and to fine down complex models (mass balances, flows, thermal transfers, etc.)
Patent GB-2329135-A (GB)
Title: Powder dispensing apparatus
Inventor: AHN BYUNG-KIL
IPC: B05B7/14
Filed: 1997-11-19
Abstract: Powder flows from reservoir 10 to venturi 5 where it is entrained by a carrier gas passing from source 1 through control valve 2. Some gas is passed into the reservoir 10 by means of line 8 and then into the powder 11 by means of holes (16, Figure 2 not shown) in the conical base 9 of delivery tube 7. This has the effect of fluidising the powder, and thus minimising agglomeration. The depth at which fluidisation occurs in the powder is kept constant as the powder is used. Rotating drive rod 12 by motor 15 causes captive nut 13 to raise the reservoir and so to effectively lower the position within it of the gas head 9; this enables the system to keep step with powder use and continue to supply powder.

Patent GB-2334238-A (GB)
Title: Multi-hull watercraft with self-righting capabilities
Inventor: LANDE ARNOLD J
IPC: B63C7/00
Filed: 1998-02-12
Abstract: A multi-hull watercraft, such as a catamaran or trimaran is constructed to facilitate the righting thereof following a capsize. By providing a pivot connection between the hulls 12,14 and the cross-members 20,22, in accordance with one method, it is possible to right the capsized vessel by piecemeal rotation of the hulls 12,14 through 180 from an inverted to an upright disposition (see in particular Figs 11-13). Following this manoeuver, the mast 46,48 may be either rotated up and out of the water to an erect disposition or, alternatively, the mast can be jacked vertically through the deck. In accordance with a second method, the multiple hulls are interconnected by articulated, extendable and contractible cross-members 20,22 and righting is achieved by sequentially reducing the beam of the craft, canting its buoyant mast from vertical so that the watercraft will roll so as to be floating on one hull and on the buoyant mast and then while canting the mast in the opposite direction again extending the cross member to increase the beam such that a rotational moment about the one hull is created sufficient to raise the mast out of the water to an upright disposition (see in particular Figs 14-21).

Title: Hybrid vehicle with controlled downhill electrodynamic braking
Inventor: BOURNE CARL CHARLES
IPC: B60L15/20
Filed: 1998-02-20
Abstract: In a vehicle which comprises an internal combustion engine 20 driving a generator 18, the power from which is used to drive motors 16a for each of the driven wheels 12a of the vehicle, the motors 16a can also be used to brake the wheels 12a, in which case the electric power generated is used to power a heater 34 which dissipates the power into the cooling system 32, 30 of the engine 20. The control of the braking when the vehicle is on a downhill slope can be such that the vehicle is prevented from accelerating and the speed limited so that the rate of electrical energy dissipation by the heater does not exceed a maximum rate.

Patent GB-983965-A (GB)
IPC: C06F1/20
Abstract: 983,965. Book match feeders. EDDY MATCH CO. Ltd. Sept. 4, 1962 [Sept. 26, 1961], No. 33856/62. Heading B8C. Apparatus for feeding match combs to a booker comprises a pivotally mounted holder which receives bunches of the combs and then deposits them in a magazine from which they are discharged in pre-determined numbers. The combs 11 are supplied in trays 10 and are conveyed in bunches to a feeding apparatus 12 by gripper jaws 15 which place each bunch between walls 36, 37 of a holder 21 with the lower edge of the bunch resting on plates 27 which form one wall of a comb magazine 20. The plates 27 pass through slots 38 in the wall 36, when the holder is in its comb receiving position and the other wall of the magazine is formed by a pivoted plate 28 having stops 33 resting on wedge projections 32 on a feed slide 22, forward movement of the slide permitting the plate 28 to progressively close this exit for the match combs. The holder is pivoted on a shaft 41 mounted in a slide 23 and is linked by an arm 50 to a further slide 24, both slides being reciprocable by cam means. The feed slide 22 is operated independently by eccentrics 69 through links 70. Also mounted on the shaft 41 is a plate 25, spring urged to press combs in the magazine towards the slide 22. When the slide 24 moves to the left, Fig. 2, the holder pivots anti-clockwise to deposit the combs in the magazine and a latch 55 engages the plate 25. Both slides 23, 24 then move to the right whence the plates 27 remove the combs from the holder as the holder and the plate 25 are retracted from the magazine. However, the slide 23 releases spring-operated linkage means (Fig. 4, not shown) which causes further presser fingers 26 to pivot downwards and maintain the pressure on the combs. Both slides then return to the position in Fig. 2, a fixed abutment releasing the latch 55 thus allowing the plate 25 to press again on the combs. This return movement also raises the fingers 26. The match combs are discharged, a pre-selected number at a time, from the magazine under the plate 28 by the slide 22.

An arrangement for detecting the presence of a ferromagnetic object wherein a Hall plate 4, Fig. 4 is disposed in a gap in a substantially closed magnetic circuit which includes two opposed magnets 1, 2 and is so constructed that when the magnetic circuit is not subjected to any external field distorting influence the flux in the Hall plate is substantially zero as described in the parent Specification, is modified by the provision of a third magnet 11 extending away from a common circuit member 6 to ensure that the signal produced by the passage of a member 5 which is long in its direction of travel is such that there is only a single and distinct passage through zero. The arrangement may be used as a limit switch for a conveyer installation, or in a rolling mill to signal the approach of the end face of a billet. The Hall output, after amplification, is arranged to energize a polarized relay by way of a bi-stable trigger stage.
