Title: Electro-active elements & devices
Inventor: HOOLEY ANTHONY
IPC: H01L41/09
Filed: 2002-06-19
Granted: 2004-12-22
Abstract: An electro-active element comprises at least one elongate member of electro-active material (11) extending along a curve and having two pairs of electrodes (12, 13) spaced across the width W of the elongate member radially of the curve. The electrodes of each pair extend along the length L of the elongate member on opposite sides of the member for developing an electric field across a region of the member therebetween on activation. The material of the elongate member in each region is poled parallel to the electric field to be capable of activation in an expansion-contraction mode with a differential change in length L of the two regions (15, 16) concomitantly with bending of the member parallel to the width of the member so that said bending is concomitant with relative rotation of the ends of the element about an axis on the inner side of the curve. The electro-active element may extend along a helix. The helix may itself extend along a curved axis resulting in a device which twists around the curved axis and concomitantly generates linear displacement between the ends of the device on activation.

Title: Apparatus and methods for metering of renewable energy devices
Inventor: BOAIT PETER
IPC: F03B13/12
Filed: 2007-02-08
Granted: 2009-03-11
Abstract: A metering apparatus is used to meter at least one renewable energy device that derives energy from a renewable energy source such as a wind turbine 32 or combined heat and power (CHP) generator 34. The apparatus includes an electronic control unit 46 an energy sensor 44. The energy sensor 44 measures an energy parameter that is affected by an energy output of the renewable energy device. In the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 8 the energy sensor 44 is an electrical load sensor that measures electrical load flowing in the connection 42a between a supply busbar 36 and a distribution panel 42. The electrical load sensor provides energy data in the form of electrical load measurements to the electronic control unit 46. The electronic control unit 46 uses the energy data to derive a profile of the change in the energy parameter and correlates the derived profile with a reference profile corresponding to the particular type of renewable energy. The results of the correlation and the energy data are then used to quantify the energy output of the renewable energy device over a selected period of time.

Filed: 1978-07-05
Granted: 1982-03-24
Abstract: An electronic timepiece with a date ring calendar in which date errors due to the months having different lengths are automatically corrected by a motor controlled by circuitry discriminating between months of different lengths and controlled to run fast at the ends of short months by a switch SW1 actuated by the date ring. The motor is a stepping motor which also drives the timepiece hands, and a counter 163 compensates for the time during which the hands are being driven at the higher speed. In Figure 6 switches SW1, SW2, SW3 control the operation of circuitry including counters 160, 161, 162, 163, 164 and 165, mono-multis MM, flip-flops FF, gates and inverters, the switches SW2, SW3 being under manual control. Gates 108, 109 and 117 have pulse inputs of different frequencies taken from the normally provided frequency divider (not shown) of the timepiece. Figure 6 provides automatic calendar correction for any year. In a modification calendar correction in a leap year is effected manually on February 29th. A mechanical arrangement for initial setting of the date ring is also described. <IMAGE>

Title: Symmetrical fault current detector
Inventor: AUBREY DAVID RICHARD
IPC: H02H3/08
Filed: 1985-05-20
Granted: 1988-10-26
Abstract: @ Excess currents due to faults in an electrical power system are generally larger than excess currents due to the magnetisation of distribution transformers: discrimination has hitherto relied on a threshold detector. Magnetising currents are however, asymmetrical whereas fault currents are symmetrical. This specification discloses a detector which can detect symmetrical current waveforms on a conductor 1 and thus discriminate between a fault and a magnetising excess current. A resistor 4, placed across the output terminals of a bridge rectifier 3 has a resistance selected so that the voltage across it exceeds the breakdown voltage of trigger diodes 7 and 8 when the current in conductor 1, in any half cycle, exceeds a desired maximum. Capacitors 13 and 14 will thus only both charge up in response to a large symmetrical current: a logic control 23 is connected via lines 21 and 22 to detect such a condition.

Title: A method of packaging a beverage and a beverage package
Inventor: BYRNE WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: B67C3/02
Filed: 1988-09-12
Granted: 1992-02-19
Abstract: A method of packaging a beverage containing gas in solution and a beverage package has a chamber 9 in a moulded open topped container 1 (of plastics or metal) in a bottom wall 8 of which is formed a restricted orifice 10. The bottom of the container 1 is received in a cup shaped closure 11 and sealed thereto at 16 to form a chamber 12 which communicates with the chamber 9 through the orifice 10. The chamber 9 is charged with beverage 17 and its headspace 21 is dosed with liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide prior to sealing with a cap 18 so that the headspace 21 is at a pressure greater than atmospheric. With the sealed package in equilibrium the chamber 12 contains beverage derived from the chamber 9 through the orifice 10 and has a headspace 22. Upon opening of the package by removing the cap 18 and exposing the headspace 21 to atmosphere, the pressure differential between the headspaces 21 and 22 causes beverage and/or gas in the chamber 12 to be ejected through the orifice 10 into the beverage 17 and thereby gas in solution in the beverage to be liberated to form or assist in the formation of a head of froth onthebeverage.

Title: Single facet wobble free scanner
Inventor: STARKWEATHER GARY K
IPC: G02B26/10
Filed: 1982-02-03
Granted: 1986-12-10
Abstract: A pentaprism, pentamirror right angle prism or right angle mirror monogon (30) is rotated about an axis passing through its sides and through the axis of the applied light beam (8). By reflections off two mirrored surfaces (22,24) the output light beam (28) creates a plane of light. When, or if, the pentaprism (30) wobbles about the rotational axis, the effects of the wobble are eliminated because via the internal reflections of the pentaprism, the output light beam is parallel to the original output light beam (28). The parallel light beams are focussed onto the scan surface by external optics (70).
