Title: Potato Storage
Filed: 2012-04-19
Abstract: A method of storing potatoes comprises: providing a plurality of endodormant or ecodormant potatoes; in a first storage step, storing the potatoes in a first gaseous environment including carbon dioxide in an amount of from 0.03 to 5 mol %; and in a second subsequent storage step, storing the potatoes in a second gaseous environment including carbon dioxide in an amount of from 0.03 to 2 mol %, wherein the first and second gaseous environments have different carbon dioxide contents. There is also disclosed a method of storing potatoes comprising storing the plurality of potatoes in a first gaseous environment including carbon dioxide; monitoring the dormancy of the potatoes; in response to eye movement of at least one of the potatoes, changing the first gaseous environment to a second gaseous environment including carbon dioxide. In the second storage step, the potatoes are stored whilst maintaining the level of carbon dioxide in the second gaseous environment below a selected threshold to control the sugar content of the potatoes. The methods aim to extend dormancy of the potatoes whilst controlling conversion of starch to sugars which can cause browning when the potatoes are fried.

Title: Additive layer manufacture
Filed: 2012-05-30
Abstract: A method of producing a 3D article by additive-layer manufacture is provided. The method includes the steps of: depositing and fusing a layer of material on a substrate or on a previously fused layer of material; and repeating the depositing and fusing step to build up successive layers of material, and thereby produce the 3D article. The method further includes performing one or more times the step of: plastically deforming under compressive loading the most recently fused layer before the next repeat of the depositing step by contacting a loading head to the most recently fused layer and moving the loading head thereover while maintaining the contact. In the deforming step, the most recently fused layer at the loading head is preferably constrained from deforming laterally. The loading head may deform the most recently fused layer when that layer has cooled significantly.

Title: Wellbore apparatus and method
Filed: 2008-11-11
Abstract: A tubular body 302 has a throughbore 304 which defines a primary fluid path through the apparatus. A swellable element 308 is disposed around the tubular body 302 and is configured to provide an annular barrier in a space between the tubular body 302 and a surrounding wall. A conduit 310 defining a secondary flow path through the apparatus is provided, and is configured to be in fluid communication with a shunt tube of a sand control device such as a gravel packer. The conduit 310 is arranged to vary the secondary flow path along a longitudinal direction of the apparatus, for example to redirect the flow path to a radial position closer to the tool body. The conduit 310 is configured to have a reduced effect on the operation of the swellable element 308, while still allowing the conduit to be coupled to the gravel packer.

Title: Apparatus for the collection of animal excrement(droppings)
Filed: 2012-06-08
Abstract: An apparatus for the collection of animal droppings, which includes a frame 1 with handles 15 for a person to grip, is mounted on wheels 3 to enable the apparatus to be mobile and the frame mounts a bucket 2 essentially of circular profile. A catchment means 10 prevents the bucket from rotating about a pivot 13 in one setting, but allows rotation in another. A pedal 18 is mounted to the frame which when depressed by an operators foot causes movement of a mounting 8 and attached rake or brush 5 guided on slide bars on each side of the apparatus across a collection zone 19. A pan 6 and arms connect to the pivots and have a handle 12 connected at pivot points 17 on the frame and which when raised by the hand of an operator causes the pan to raise to an emptying position (figure 17) in one mode of operation. When a catchment 14 is suitably set, and in a second mode of operation, the bucket and pan rotate together (figure 11) to empty the contents of the bucket.

Title: Improved method of MSe mass spectrometry
Filed: 2013-05-16
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising alternating between a first mode in which parent ions are analysed and a second mode in which parent ions are fragmented and their fragment ions are mass analysed. In the first mode the parent ions are charge reduced before being analysed, so as to simplify the parent ion spectral data obtained. In the second mode, the parent ions are not charge reduced prior to fragmentation, so that it remains relatively easy to induce the parent ions to fragment. The parent ions are then associated with their fragment ions using the mass spectral data obtained.

Filed: 1980-06-26
Granted: 1984-10-18
Abstract: Several embodiments of tachometers generators for use in controlling the speed of electrical motor driven tools. In each embodiment a toothed rotor (28, 52, 72, 92, 122) is fixed for rotation with the motor armature shaft (23, 53, 73, 93, 124) and a sensor (31, 55, 75, 96, 126) is juxtaposed to the rotor. The sensor is comprised of a core (32, 56, 76, 98, 127) having a first end portion (33, 57, 77, 99, 128) juxtaposed at a first location relative to the rotor and a second end portion (36, 58, 78, 101, 129) that is juxtaposed to the rotor at a second, spaced location. A permanent magnet (37, 59, 79, 102, 131) is interposed between the second end portion and the rotor with one of its poles aligned with a second end portion and the other of its poles aligned with the rotor. A coil (38, 61, 81, 103, 132) is wound around an intermediate portion (34, 62, 82, adjacent 99, adjacent 128) of the core so that a voltage will be generated in the coil by the alternating magnetic flux passing through the core during rotation of the rotor, which voltage is indicative of the speed of the armature shaft. The compact construction facilitates installation in close places and the device provides a strong signal and exhibits a high signal to noise ratio.

Title: Electrical terminal with cavity compensator
Inventor: LYNCH JAMES EDWARD
IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 1982-06-04
Granted: 1985-10-31
Abstract: A terminal (11) for use in electrical connector housings (51) and the like which is press fitted into position and is retained in the connector housing (51), printed circuit board or the like by means of a friction fit. The terminal (11) includes a rigid post (21) at one end and a resilient spring contact structure (23) at the other end thereof. The contact structure (23) and the post (21) are joined by an intermediate section (31) having an aperture (37) therethrough and a lance (43) extending outwardly from the bottom of the aperture (37), the lance (43) being fittable into the aperture (37) but being of smaller dimenson. The intermediate section (31) is a spring member having tapered sides (33, 35) with the narrow portion of the taper extending toward the post (21). The intermediate section (31) can move inwardly from both sides by spring type action to occupy a portion of the aperture (37), thereby decreasing the dimension across the intermediate section (31). Upon insertion into a housing (51) or the like, the lance (43) will push against a housing wall (47) and move the terminal against an opposite wall (49) as the terminal (11) enters an appropriate housing cavity (53). As the terminal (11) moves farther into the cavity (53), the tapered portion will move against the other pair of opposing cavity wall (55, 57) and force the sides of the intermediate section (31) together, thereby preventing the lance (43) from moving into the aperture (37) and providing a friction fit within the housing cavity (53) at the lance (43) as well as both sides of the intermediate section (31).
