Title: Retractable vent deployable dependant on air demand
Inventor: BAKER ROGER
IPC: B60H1/34
Filed: 2011-09-07
Abstract: Air delivery apparatus 100 for a motor vehicle dashboard has means for moving an air vent 110 between a retracted position (fig 6) in which the vent lies behind a facia or trim surface and a deployed position (fig 5) in which the vent is exposed for air delivery, the vent assuming the deployed position responsive to an air flow demand. The vent can pivot about hinge 130P driven by stepper motor 162. A lift mechanism 160 can over centre and have dampers 151L,151R. A controller (40, fig 7) calculates distribution of the airflow according to mode and aims to reduce the number of deployment/retraction moves.

Title: Chia seed mucilage containing gelatin-free soft capsule shell
Inventor: MOHAMMED IMRAN
IPC: A61K9/48
Filed: 2012-04-16
Abstract: Natural mucilage extracted from chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.) exhibits specialized water gelatinous behaviour when formulated and manufactured along with other polysaccharides and agents to form a hydrogel capsule shell wall. This will enable the mucilage hydrogel containing capsule shell on exposure to water to expand to twice its size with consequent swelling of the polymeric network and slow release of a drug within the capsule shell for example omega-3 fatty acids obtained from chia oil. The polymeric network can degrade biologically. A process for the preparation of the extracted mucilage and a capsule comprising said mucilage are disclosed. A 100% vegetarian product is prepared where both the material to be delivered and hydrogel capsule shell are produced purely from vegetarian products, free from animal derived substances.

Title: Making ice cream with liquid gas
Inventor: SMITH BRADLEY
IPC: A23G9/06
Filed: 2012-09-21
Abstract: A frozen confectionery product such as ice cream or sorbet is made by churning a confectionery mix 26A in a vessel 26 whilst a liquid gas, such as liquid nitrogen, is added. Existing churning apparatus moves a stirrer through the mix in an epicyclical motion that tends to splash liquid nitrogen so that it evaporates without contributing to freezing. In this mixing method, splashing is minimised as the stirrer is repeatedly drawn against the inside wall of the vessel. The drawing action removes build up of frozen confectionery product on both the stirrer and the vessel walls and allows unfrozen confectionary mix to move to the edges of the vessel and be preferentially frozen. A further method of making a frozen confectionery product cooled and frozen by a liquid gas comprises agitating an unfrozen mix with a cyclic motion including a downward movement towards the base of the containment vessel and an upward movement towards the surface of the confectionery mix. A reservoir for holding a liquid gas has an outlet, a valve to control the flow of fluid through the outlet, the body of the valve being located within the reservoir in contact with the liquid gas.

IPC: B60N2/20
Filed: 2011-03-31
Abstract: Disclosed is a double-sided locking type reclining seat for a vehicle such that there does not arise a situation where a reclining locking mechanism itself is deformed, as exemplified by a case where a connecting shaft is bent sharply, and that measures are taken to prevent the reclining locking mechanism from being disengaged due to a collision load caused by baggage or the like, in such a way that no complicated mechanical change is made in the inside of the reclining locking mechanism. The double-sided locking type reclining seat is provided with a metal catch (10) which takes a load applied by baggage or the like to the rear side of a seat back. The metal catch (10) is mounted on and fixed to the surface of the connecting shaft (5) in such a way as to be oriented obliquely downward from the rear side of the shaft. As a load caused by baggage or the like is applied to the rear side of the seat back, the metal catch (10) under load holds down the connecting shaft (5) in such a direction as to lock the reclining locking mechanism.

Title: Active electronically scanned array antenna for hemispherical scan coverage
Inventor: CULKIN DANIEL R
IPC: G01S13/44
Filed: 2011-11-28
Abstract: An antenna architecture for hemispherically-scanning active electronically scanned arrays (AESA). The antenna architecture utilizes variable diameter disks of antenna elements configured in a conical implementation. The antenna elements are oriented such that the element boresight is normal to the surface of the conical structure. Beamforming takes place on each disk first, and them separately in combining the signals from each disk, thereby reducing complexity. The antenna optionally utilizes disks of antenna elements of the same diameter to form a cylindrical antenna, which when combined with a conical configuration create enhanced sectors while maintaining a hemispherical coverage capability. Further, use of two conical configurations can produce a fully spherical coverage capability.
