Abstract: A DC casting mold for casting molten metal alloy comprising a cooled tubular body that has a thermally insulated insert attached to its top surface. The thermally insulated insert has a bottom portion with a beveled sidewall, which forms an angle with the horizontal melt surface layer of the molten metal and creates an eddy. The eddy causes a substantial number of oxides that are formed during the casting process to remain in the bottom sidewall portion of the thermally insulated insert of the mold, thereby substantially reducing the number of ingot surface imperfections that promote ingot cracking. In addition, the eddy promotes break-up of the oxides into smaller pieces as the oxides flow toward the cooled inner walls of the cooled tubular body, thereby having limited surface area for growth of oxide folds. A method of casting molten metal alloys with improved surface quality is also disclosed.

Title: Protection against landmine explosion
Inventor: JOYNT VERNON PEREGRIN
IPC: B62D55/08
Filed: 2004-05-26
Granted: 2012-01-03
Abstract: A body and any occupant of a land vehicle (10) is protected against effects of a landmine explosion, by conducting shock waves laterally outwardly by means of one or more shock wave guide members (16, 18) of a material having high acoustic velocity, and located proximate a ground engaging element (12) of the vehicle. The material may be glass, ceramic or the like having an acoustic velocity of about 6000 m/sec or more, i.e. higher than other materials of other components of the land vehicle. Shock waves encounter less resistance in high-acoustic velocity materials and are thus conducted laterally outwardly, i.e. away from the body. The shock wave guide members may be located immediately above bottom runs of tracks (12) and annularly within wells of bogey wheels (14) of track vehicles; and annularly around hubs or within tyres of wheels of wheeled vehicles.

Abstract: One aspect is a pressure transducer package (4) comprising a housing, a diaphragm (20), a support (32) disposed in the housing and a sensing element (30) disposed in the housing between the diaphragm and the support so that the pressure from the environment acts on the diaphragm to compress the sensing element.

In another aspect, the sensing element comprises at least one substrate formed of a first material, e.g. sappphire and an epitaxial layer of a second material e.g silicon or gallium nitride having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion. In a further aspect, the support (32) abuts the housing at a spherically-shaped interface (52,64) to compensate for misalignment between the support (32) and the sensing element (30) to ensure that the sensing element is evenly loaded.

Title: Grid stabilising system
Inventor: HIRST DAVID
IPC: G05F1/66
Filed: 2004-09-22
Granted: 2012-10-30
Abstract: The invention provides control of an electric load receiving power from a grid. The frequency of the grid is detected and used to determine a stress level on the grid. A high frequency detection is indicative of too little a load for the electrical power being supplied to the grid and, therefore, a low stress condition. A high stress condition may exist if there is too much load for' the power being supplied to the grid. Adjustment of the power consumption of the load is prevented if the high and/or low stress states is determined.  If a critical high or low stress condition is determined, the load is either prevented from consuming power completely or the load is set to a maximum power consumption state, respectively. The benefits of the invention are increased if the device is combined with a load controller which operates to control power consumption based on grid frequency and a variable, which, for the particular load, is to be kept within controlled limits.
