Title: A tool and method for forming an annular component
Inventor: SCOTT BARBER
IPC: B29C70/44
Filed: 2018-02-14
Abstract: A tool 10 for forming an annular component comprises a diaphragm 14 extending around the mandrel (12, Figure 1) to define an expansion cavity 34. An outer mould 16 defines a profile for a component. When collapsed diaphragm 14 defines a lay-up surface for a pre-form 40 and in when expanded, such as by fluid introduced through port 32 to cavity 34, the diaphragm drives and deforms the pre-form 40 against the outer mould 16. Heaters may be provided on the mandrel for softening the preform and the outer mould for curing the formed component. The outer mould may comprise several parts which may be assembled around the mandrel and may clamp the diaphragm to the mandrel. Diaphragm portions may be bonded to the mandrel. The mould may have a flange forming portion and an arcuate diaphragm guide 22 which prevents the diaphragm expanding around the preform during flange formation. The tool may be used to form an annular component having a variable radius along its annular extent, such as a gas turbine casing.

Title: Tablet tool coating
Inventor: ROBERT JOHN BLANCHARD
IPC: C23C14/35
Filed: 2018-06-29
Abstract: A method of coating a steel tablet tool 30 comprising: applying a first inner chromium adhesion layer 32; a second chromium nitride layer 34; a third transition layer 36 of chromium, nitrogen and aluminium with the concentration of aluminium increasing outwardly; and a fourth outer layer 38 of chromium, nitrogen and aluminium. The concentration of nitrogen in the second layer 34 may increase outwardly through the layer to gradually increase the hardness of the coating; the nitrogen concentration may increase only in an inner part of the second layer which may extend for less than 50% of the thickness of the second layer 34. The nitrogen concentration in the third layer 36 may decrease outwardly. The coating may be applied using closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering with a maximum process temperature of 300-500 °C and using four or six magnetrons, with chromium targets on at least two magnetrons and aluminium targets on at least two magnetrons. A coated tablet tool produced by said method is also disclosed. The invention is intended to increase the resistance of tablet press tools to abrasion, extending their useable lifespan.

Title: Vehicle control system and control method
Inventor: DANIEL WOOLLISCROFT
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2018-08-10
Abstract: A control system for a host vehicle 10 operable in an autonomous mode is configured to receive first environment data and second environment data. The first environment data is indicative of a navigation characteristic associated with a potential obstacle 54 relating to an area 50 within which a host vehicle is operated at a first time. The second environment data is indicative of the navigation characteristic relating to the area at a second time different from the first time. A controller determines map data relating to the area in dependence on the first environment data and the second environment data. When subsequently navigating the area to a navigation goal in an autonomous mode, the control system utilises the map data to autonomously navigate the host vehicle. The map data may not be determined again where the host vehicle re-enters the area in less than a predetermined threshold time. The navigation characteristic may relate to a presence or absence of the potential obstacle and the map data can be determined when an obstacle appears or disappears in the area. Obstacles can be classified as stationary or dynamic.

Title: Novel quinazolinone derivatives inhibiting PI3K and pharmaceutical composition containing same
Inventor: JONG-WOO KIM
IPC: C07D473/34
Filed: 2017-07-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel quinazolinone derivatives inhibiting PI3K; a method for preparing the derivatives; and a pharmaceutical composition for treating hematologic neoplasms or liver diseases, containing the quinazolinone derivatives, wherein the novel quinazolinone derivatives according to the present invention have a beneficial effect in the treatment of hematologic neoplasms or liver diseases. Particularly, the quinazolinone derivatives inhibit PI3Kδ with high selectivity compared to that of a conventional anticancer drug of PI3Kδ inhibitors, thereby significantly reducing immunotoxicity, or simultaneously inhibit PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ, thereby enabling the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and anticancer therapy for blood cancer and the like. These targeted drugs have an advantage of enabling the problem of side effects of a conventional highly toxic anticancer therapy to be resolved.

Title: A coupler for coupling an attachment to a dipper arm
Inventor: MARTIN MCCORMACK
IPC: E02F9/24
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: Quick hitch coupler for dipper arm attachment comprises fixed pin-engaging jaw 20 and moveable pin-engaging jaw 40 each for engaging one of the pair of coupling pins of the arm’s attachment. Moveable engaging jaw 40 moves between an extended state coupled with the pin (fig 2), and a retracted state where it is disengaged from the coupling pin (fig 5). A latch gate 30 pivots within the fixed engaging jaw 20 to retain its pin; latch 30 is resiliently urged to its locked position (fig 2) by a torsion spring. Latch 30 can be unlocked by a release block 61 moving to an active condition where it pushes latch 30 against its spring to unlock. A drive means in the form of a longitudinal actuator 51 moves the movable engaging jaw 40 and the release block 61. When extended, the actuator 51 locks the pins within the hitch coupler by extending the moveable engaging jaw 40 and pushing stop 58 against latch 30 in the fixed jaw 20. When compressed, the actuator 51 first releases the latch 30 (fig 3) before jaw 40 moves; as jaw 40 moves, bias springs 63, 68 compress until at a threshold release block 61 moves to contact latch 30 (fig 4).
