Title: Split voltage control and isolation system
Inventor: MADDISON WAYNE
IPC: H02P9/40
Filed: 2014-09-09
Abstract: A vehicle electrical system comprises a first low voltage electrical circuit 101 and a second high voltage electrical circuit 102, both receiving power simultaneously from a mechanically driveable switched reluctance generator 122.

Title: Combined retractable clothes line and wall hook
Inventor: PERRY CHIMES
IPC: D06F53/04
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: A unit 10 includes a housing 11 and a spring-loaded reel 12 storing a line 13. The reel is rotatably-mounted in the housing to unreel and reel up the line. A clothes support bracket 14 includes an arm 14a projecting from the housing in the region of a housing inlet/outlet opening 18 for the line. The arm has a passage 20 extending therethrough from the housing to a free end of the arm. The line has a free end portion (13a, Figure 1) which in the reeled-up state of the line extends from the reel through the opening and the passage. A grip member 15 is fixed to a free end of the end of the line. The grip member functions as a stop to prevent reeling up of the end portion on the reel by the spring loading. The grip member also serves as a pull to enable a selectable length of the line to be withdrawn from the housing under rotation of the reel against the spring loading. The line may be locked relative to the housing to prevent increase/decrease in line length. The unit may be used with a retainer (21, Figure 5) for the grip member.

Title: Vessel ablation system with adjustable ablation terminal
Inventor: PER ELGAARD
IPC: A61B18/16
Filed: 2015-03-27
Abstract: An RF ablation system 10 includes a catheter 12 having a first retractable electrode 18 within its lumen and a second indifferent return electrode 20 disposed around the catheter 12 and spaced from the first electrode 18 by an insulating spacer which may be a part 36 of the catheter 12 or a sleeve 42 on the first electrode 18. The second electrode 20 has a surface area at least twice that of the first electrode 18 in order to act as a dispersive electrode, so that negligible heat is generated at the second electrode 20 and therefore no blood clotting or other ablation material is formed over the catheter 12. The first retractable electrode 18 is able to slide in and out of the catheter 12 in order to vary the exposed length of the first electrode 18 and as a result to alter the energy density at the first electrode 18 in order to exhibit different heating effects.

Title: Sacrificial breakaway mechanism
Inventor: PAUL DURSLEY
IPC: E21B43/01
Filed: 2015-07-24
Abstract: A sacrificial breakaway mechanism 1 comprises a first piece 5 attached to a fixed structure 2 and a second piece 6 with connectors 11, 12 running between it and the fixed structure 2. A sacrificial element 8, such as a shear pin, connects the first piece 5 to the second piece 6. This sacrificial element 8 is configured such that a tensile load exceeding a predetermined threshold exerted on the second piece 6 causes the sacrificial element 8 to break, separating the first piece 5 from the second piece 6 and allowing relative movement between them. This relative movement causes a sequential disconnection of the plurality of connectors 11, 12. This can be in the form of a shearing mechanism, which has a blade 14 attached to one of the first 5 or second 6 pieces and a through plate 13 attached to the other, which severs the connectors 11, 12 sequentially. The through plate 13 can have apertures which receive the connectors 11, 12. The sacrificial breakaway mechanism 1 ensures there is a controlled shut down of the well components by disconnecting connectors in a preselected sequence during breakaway.
